If KWH.UN is more than 5% of your portfolio, you may like to review your position.


It's all a matter of how many investments you can keep track of properly. 

Some folks can handle 20-30, most retail investors that manage their own accounts can't. 

I followed the advice of a very prominent investor, given to me close to two decades ago. 

Every now and then I hit a real winner. Usually I'm lucky to make just over 10%, I usually sell when there is a profit of 15-20%. Then there are the losers of course. I wish I had a crystal ball but like most, I don't. 

There are all sorts of "systems" being offered but so far the biggest winner is the robo investor. Robo investors make day traders look like laggards. They trade huge volumes in nanoseconds and they do it 24/7. They are programmed to trade thousands of stocks/bonds etc with a ruthless rigidity only a robot or George Soros can have. 

One thing I learned recently is that robo trading isn't always successful. It's just that their losses are smaller than most human traders because they have narrower loss ranges. 

I'm sincerely hoping that the unit price has bottomed or is very close to it. 

Looking back over the long term chart there is a well developed head and shoulders pattern that has formed over the past couple of years. The right shoulder is higher than the left and that's usually a good sign that the price will at least return to its median range. Still, the pattern will need to play itself out. 

I've been fortunate with this trust by playing the swings. That strategy has made me a lot of money, which was mostly set aside. Some of it went towards living and some went back into the markets. Some is just sitting in cash. 

If I weren't so heavily weighted in units already I would be purchasing here myself. That's only IMHO. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE. 

If you are uncomfortable with the volatility this trust isn't for you. There is a good reason these companies pay large distributions. They are paying you to ride out the volatility and ensuing risks of the business models. Then of course they are regulated by legal constraints not to have a lot of cash on hand and not to have chattel type assets. 

Not having assets is a two edged sword. It allows them to be nimble to a point but when they become to heavily invested in companies that have chattels they become encumbered which eats away their cash. 

Throw in some larceny, real or implied and they become targets for shorts. 

Personally I can't manage more than 5 investments at one time. Usually 3 or less if I want to be able to follow them properly. 

The folks that promote technical charting do well but they miss a lot as well IMHO. It does however allow them to make up their minds on an investment without hours of due diligence. 

GLTA the good folks here.
