Investment Q&A

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

Q: Could you please comment on Pl recent earnings. Also do you think the hit today on VMD is over done as the adjustments were prior period adjustments which probably means the accountants are giving a harder look at current financial statements. The earning were weaker but he Revenue growth was very strong although the net income was weak. The emphasis at this point in this young company their focus should be on growth and the are nearing the $100 million run rate which should bring in new investors..

Q: "This is the chance I've been waiting for". Based on the market sell-off and a scenario where I have no stock holdings and want to build a new portfolio, which 6 Canadian companies do you believe:
1. have the most short and long term upside potential based on the fact that they are now undervalued
2. have the strongest fundamentals to power them upward
3. are located in the right sectors
Yet still, because of the nature of their business, are somewhat insulated from the current negative market conditions.
Which companies should I buy today?
I thank you for your guidance.

Q: Hi,

I own these 3 stocks as I am a high growth investor .

The market is up over 5% today while my stocks are either down or up less than 1%. Even some cruise line stocks are up more than the 3 stocks I own.
May I get your opinion on them?

Thank you

Q: Dear Team,
Recently I purchased AC at $49.50 and now it has really dropped. Would you advise to hang on to it and would this even be a good time to purchase more?
Some advice would really be appreciated. It is about 2% of my portfolio.
Thank you,
John G.

Q: I follow your balanced portfolio and have taken opportunities in the past to harvest a tax loss and replace with another company in the same sector. I have losses in CCL.B and MX. Considering NTR in the same sector. Does this seem reasonable or is there another non gold company you would recommend. If so CCL and MX are each currently a 2% position. Would you sell both and buy a 4% NTR position or just sell one. If so which one?

Q: Here it is, the long-overdue market correction. If it wasn't the conavid 19 virus that triggered it, something else would have.

I'm compiling a watchlist of virus-driven oversolds using stockcharts.com. Peter, could you recommend 5 Canadian and 5 US stocks that look oversold at the moment? The correction could drag on for awhile and bring valuations closer to historical norms, but at some point there will be capitulation and a chance to get into some good stocks at bargain prices.

Q: I just received an email from Citron talking about SDGR. They feel it is the second coming of TSLA but of course, in a different industry.
They are a brand new IPO and are up 20% today, but would this be worth purchasing in the event that it pulls back to prior to the letter and held for a period of time.
In a nutshell they recap it thusly:

"Through use of artificial intelligence and a world class scientific team that is unmatched by ANY public company, Schrodinger has created a software platform that integrates predictive physics-based methods with machine learning to become the leader in molecular simulation that 1) reduces the average time and cost required to identify a drug development candidate and 2) increases the probability of drug discovery programs entering clinical development.

With the global pharma industry spending approximately $180 billion on R&D annually, this innovative software platform is completely disrupting the drug development process."

Would you invest in this concept yourselves, once you research more about it.? I know its not a p/e , value play it may or may not be TSLA of 10 years ago.

Thanks

Sheldon
