Investment Q&A

Q: Could you provide an update on insider buying for Goeasy? In the past they seemed to personally get behind the stock.
Also, what does your gut say about the security of that 5.5% dividend? Are they over-leveraged or is there another key metric that could indicate things are a bit shakey? Thank you

Q: Is there any reason not to prefer HEB over ZEB? The two ETFs appear to be very similar while HEB seems to have a 0% MER and ZEB 0.25%. My online brokerage website also says HEB's yield is 3.06% while ZEB's is just 2.02%, though the reason why the yields are different is not apparent.

Q: Was the stock reaction over blown to the most recent quarter or do you think justified given the missed estimates?

Q: These two stocks have been dropping like a stone of late.
How do you feel about these two stocks in terms of risk/reward, and are these stocks approaching a support level where one can consider adding to their position?
Thank you and I look forward to your sage advice.

Q: Pls review Q results, guidance

Q: This question is more of a question on my method of reasoning... I have three what I consider " speculative " positions in my RRIF . SLVO a 3.85% position, GDXY an 11.1% position and GSY which has fallen 40% in price and is now a 4.25% position .... The first two I feel qualified to monitor world events and see the signs of selling. I'm in at a $3000 price of gold and bought SLVO at the same time ..... GSY is what concerns me . My reasoning is that though GSY reports on March 25 it is PRL that will swing the scales on March 2 ... { please correct me if I am wrong on those dates } .... I see the following scenarios .....

1} PRL beats the numbers and is either flat or a modest rise . GSY does the same .

2} PRL doesn't beat the numbers and drags GSY down with it . As both are in the dog house I'm thinking a lot .....

3} GSY once dropping below $100 drops like a stone ....

From a risk reward point of view please critique my reasoning and if it might be prudent to get out of Dodge before March 2nd ?
Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Hi, I am wondering about the Cdn bank ETF offering a bit of leverage through loans called HCAL. It sounds like a reasonable way to execute a bit of leverage, but I have to wonder if it is better than owning some of, or all six of the Cdn banks. Would you recommend the ETF, or just owning some combination of the banks directly. If owning the banks directly could you offer an opinion on which ones you prefer and how many? Would you overweight one over others, or stick with an equal weight ownership? As always, your insight is very much appreciated - thanks!

Q: Hi Guys

With all the bank earnings out, and the conference calls occurring, did you get a sense on how credit worthiness is doing? How were banks provisioning for loan losses? Thinking of Propel and Goeasy and whether they will get through this cycle just fine?

Thanks Stuart

Q: I know you still like BN even as a top pick for TFSA but since all the other private credit names are suffering this one seems to be lagging. I know you feel it is not the same, but it seems like others see it as similar to Apollo, Blackstone, or KKR and are lumping it with that group. Can you please explain how we need to view this company differently and how to remain patient?
