Investment Q&A

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

Q: I realize that BEP.UN could have US tax implications if not held in a RRSP\RIF. Does Bam.A have any similar tax implications or is it treated the same as most other Canadian stocks.
Would the maximum recommended holding for BAM.A be be at about 7.5% of the portfolio or since it is diversified by the other Brookfield companies would it be higher and if so what would the recommended limit be.

Q: Hi Peter and Company:
I am a growth investor, presently down on above 4 Canadian and 5 US companies.
Should I keep, sell, add or replace e.g. GC with TSGI.
Since US market usually outperforms CAN market I am fine buying all best US growth
companies that you will recommend...…..or mixture of US and CAN companies. Long term hold fine but not required. I will trade as required, i.e. when becoming aware of it. E.g. missed selling MX, where I had an nice gain but no alert to sell and now a significant loss.
Thanks for your advice

Q: I own all of these in equal weighting (7% each). Down quite a bit on NFI. Just seeing if I should keep it and give it the long term (10 years) to provide a good return or sell because there is a better company to replace it with for a better long term performance at this point. Any other recommendations as I do have some cash side lined at this point (30%).

Q: This company continues to make the headlines with new contracts and good news... I know it is a Cannabis company which is overvalued based on current sales, revenue earnings etc, but they have a low P/S in relation to peers, positive EBITDA and positive cash flow from operations).

I own it already and recently asked a question after their 2nd quarter. Today they announce at $30 million agreement with Cronos Group for 18 months with an additional $30 million revenue potential PLUS a separate tolling agreement (which they also offer to multiple large Cannabis companies. They are close to EU GMP facility certification which will be a big step for them for sales to Europe and for medical cannabis sales. They have hinted at CPG deals in the works and with upcoming vape pens and edibles etc being legal in the fall it seems like there are lots of positive catalysts for this stock in particular. What to you would be a good way to value this type of company which focuses on extraction not dried flower sales. What are your thoughts on the recent deal announced?

Q: Thanks for your rapid reply to my question but I just have a quick follow up to the last line of your response which was: "Investors may also take some profits post closing, potentially causing an overhang and keeping buyers today on the wary side. "

If we are talking about post closing, then OH shareholders will have already received .8428 shares of CL for each OH share which would put them well ahead of where they are now based on the current disparity in prices between the two companies. Thus, rather than be wary, at this point they should be buying to take advantage of this disparity.

Thanks again.

Q: As can be seen, Cresco Labs is acquiring CannaRoyalty Corp. Can you provide any reasons why there is such a disparity between the price of OH and CL as we head towards completion of the takeover? As I write, CL is worth $15.65 yet OH trades at only $11.28. Based on the ratio of shares of CL they will receive, OH should be worth $13.19. If the deal was going to close in a year I might understand but it should be closing within a few weeks so the spread seems inordinately large.
Many thanks.

Q: I own the above companies with the following corresponding weighting:
2.6%;1.3%;2.2%;2.5%;2.7%;2.2%. I am looking at the possibility of doing some consolidating - what are your thoughts on consolidating? If I consolidate - what 1 or possibly 2 companies would you eliminate and what 1 or 2 companies would you add to?
Use as many of my questions as you need and thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Can you explain the rationale for recent move of the selling of shares by the major shareholders? They sold at quite a discount to where the stock has been. None of the funds raise will be used by the company. My understanding is that they hold 500M and could only sell 140M. Plus expectation is to list on a major exchange - is this signalling that won't happen soon. Thanks
