Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter

What is your favourite growth stock for new buying at this time? I have a well-diversified portfolio and am looking the stock for more than three year.

thanks,

J

Q: Hi..is there any real different between "The Intertain Group" and Amaya, would Amaya buy them out because they are a competitor ?? Thanks.

Q: I am in the process of rebalancing my portfolio to better match my target sector allocation. I am currently underweight in both healthcare and utilities. My only holding in healthcare is the US ETF (XLV), and my only utility holding is Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN). Can you suggest one or two other names in each of these sectors that you would recommend for new buying at this time. In the Utility space I would prefer something other than a power producer since I already hold Brookfield. Could Telus (which I don’t own) be considered similar to a utility? My goal would be moderate growth with a long (several year) time horizon but in particular I like companies that are likely to hold up better than their peers in the event of a market downturn.

Q: This stock is doing very well in this market. Can it be bought and do you have a target price. Thank you.

Q: Could you give an updated comment on this company, please. Also, in case you don't already know, the search feature doesn't seem to be working properly - tried ATA plus a couple of other symbols and I was getting a lot of non-related stock symbols returned.

Q: I note on Sept 24 the CEO moved 147k shares ($2.6M worth) to different accounts - including $540k worth to his RRSP. Is it safe to assume this was purely for tax reasons, and can we infer he thought the stock was finding a bottom at $18?
It's amazing that the company easily raised $100M at $29 just 6 months ago. At 1/2 that price it appears a compelling buy.
Thanks for your thoughts on the company.

Q: Hello Peter and team,

I would like to increase my exposure to the technology sector (10% to 15% of my portfolio). Currently it is 6.2% of my portfolio (4.1% in CSU and 2.1% in AVO). Should I add to these stocks to increase the weighting, or would you suggest other technology stocks to complement what I have. I am considering OTC. I am a medium risk, buy and hold investor (hold for 3+ years).

A similar question with consumer staples. I only have ATD.B and it is 3.8% of my portfolio. Should I add more to this stock, or would you suggest another stock to complement what I have.

I know it is practically against the law of investing to average down, but I could not resist picking up some AVO today at $13.52. Sir John Templeton said to “buy at the point of maximum pessimism”, and there has been a lot of pessimism lately on that stock. Easier said than done. I have not been able to tell when the point of “maximum pessimism” is reached until long after it has occurred. However, what gauges would you use to help you pinpoint the point of maximum pessimism for a company?

Q: Hi team:
the above has corrected over 25%, pays a dividend over 3.5%
Could you go over with us the fundamentals of this company ?
Was the correction just due to the sector pull-back?
is the dividend safe ? I am looking for 3 plus years hold looking for
dividend and some growth, thanks!

Q: Just a quick question to get any latest thoughts on EFN. It's been down a lot (so sell?) but it's getting to the bottom of its range (so buy more?). What do you think. I have half a position.

Q: It is now in the big apple, you're thoughts?

Q: 1.Is INTERTAIN GROUP (IT) the next AMAYA?
2. Why doesn't anyone talk about WARRANTS here or on BNN. I've made a lot of quick $$$ on them, and lost a lot on Gold Warrants. e.g. I bought AYA.wt.A @ $2 and sold them @ $13. I was an idiot....and should have sold half and waited to sell the rest at double that.
I recently bought IT.wt @ $0.89 and it is now trading @ $4.70, so I ask again, is this the next AMAYA???

Thank you! Austin

With thanks,
