Investment Q&A

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

Q: As a longtime holder of BNS representing 8% of my cash account (4 % total accounts ) with banks representing 30 % of total portfolios, I am getting impatient waiting for the “ new “ President to make his mark. With TFII suffering from tariff malaise and WSP dropping because of a sale of shares by the Caisse , I see this as an opportunity to get into these 2 growthier stocks. I can live with the resulting drop in dividend income. I would have a loss on BNS.

Would you make the trade or hold on to BNS ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi,
Company reported Q1-2025 results last week. As per news, it beat earnings on higher revenue and AUM, raised Dividend. GAAP EPS was down. There was some expenses for technological upgrade. The stock was weak. Is this kind of expenses is unnecessary or a mistake or done due to any problem or liabilities? Because some analyst has a sell rating for the stock? I am holding this stock for long time representing my holding in US financial sector. Has there any major changes in the company's working so that I need to replace this holding? Appreciate you insight on this.
Thanks

Q: Hi,
What is you insight on PRL-T? Is it a good and better risk and reward pick after it fall from the highs of C$42? Is there major problem with its business? Will it recover or its better to go with other lenders such as Banks? What basically I mean was that its business prospects are same? The current pull back in price is not because a group of investor entered in the stock to take it to highs. They got what they wanted and left.
Thanks

Q: Good Morning all,

Could you please provide your assessment of Fiserv’s stock movement today (down 15% at one point) relative to their earnings report. It does not appear to me there are any significant issues; there are a couple metrics one could question however I’m not seeing anything to justify the decline.

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: In my accounts I hold the above. Would you please rank them for their expected total return over the next 1-3 years. Also with respect to each holding, if applicable, would you please give me a subsitute that you "prefer" or suggest might perform better in the same space.

Thanks,

Q: I'm holding PRL with a fairly big loss and I'm wondering how you would approach this situation. I'm fine to hold unless it makes sense to sell for the tax loss and buy GSY. If yes would you return to PRL after 30 days for long term? I assume they will move in a similar way.

thx, Mark

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.
