Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good Evening

1. In buying and selling stocks how much weight one should place on technical analysis ?
With respect to BAM, a broker's technical analysis section indicated, on March 7/2025, that this security could drop to a range of 50-54. The event on March 7/2025 was described as "Megaphone Top".

2. Is there any explanation as to why BAM dropped 23% from its peak while the TSX dropped only 7% as of today ? Do you recommend adding at this level or holding ?
I will appreciate as always your insight.

Q: HI Peter,
Would you continue to dollar cost average into Dollarama at $164+? Or do you think it's fully valued? The investing site I use for company historical data shows the current PE as 38.3 (high) and in between the 38.3 and 20.9 for the last 10 years. The forward PE for the next 2 years as 36.3 and 32.5. We've been slowly DCAing and it's worked out OK thus far. Thanks for stellar advice during these tumultuous times.

Q: Hello,

Your earlier reports included comparisons with peer companies and competition. It is missing from the newer reports. In my opinion it is valuable to have this information and I request you to consider including this in your reports, although the methodology to arrive at valuation may be different. Thanks.
Sincerely, Shyam

Q: Hi,

We could very well be heading into stagflation, which I understand to be slowing or negative growth, high unemployment, weak demand and rising inflation.

In such a scenario, which would be the best stocks or ETFs to favour ?

Many thanks,

Q: Could you please provide a more detailed rationale for your latest addition to the Balanced Portfolio. GFL.

How is the current valuation and debt, compared to its competitors ?

Could you also explain the recent secondary offering by some of its institutional share holders and the shares buyback by the Co.

Although, stock dropped on Friday, alongside the market, but do you consider the Co to be a decent hedge during uncertain tariff times ?

What will 5i rating for the Co, if you were to provide one ?

Thank You

Q: Only within the last two months we were at record highs, now we’re in a bear marker for the Nasdaq and S&P nearing one. Futures are selling off again here Sunday night. US administration is digging the heels in on these tariffs.

What are your thoughts on the Trump and Fed put? If they don’t change course soon, the economy is going into a recession and midterms next year will be ugly for the GOP. Looking back at all previous crises, what do you think will happen in the next 6-12 months and what’s the game plan? VIX at these levels and large consecutive down days have resulted in nice future returns 1,3,5 years out. Let’s say you had 100k to invest now, how would you deploy over the upcoming weekly or monthly interval? Which 5 CDN and 5 US stocks would you continue to buy on any weakness, assuming only market related? Thank you!

Q: At one point it seemed like LSPD, DND, TIXT, REAL and WELL were market darlings with great potential, and DCBO, SHOP and ATZ were on more solid ground. Are any nearing the point of accumulation or should I start buying Spam for the apparent apocalypse?!!
