Q: My portfolio is recovering well, but still down about 5% down from its high because of the small caps that I own. They are all cheap and profitable companies, but some are still down 50%. If we go into recession will they crash? How should I deal with these companies? Should I be taking losses now to protect from future losses? I just don't understand the market right now because usually small caps are the first to recover. My original plan was to sell 1/2 after they recovered but that isn't happening.

Q: Hi, the last response (Mar '23) on JWEL was ..."It's 18X earnings, we think 15X would be a better price point.", what would 15x equate to in stock price?
Has anything else changed since the release of Q1 results that gives you more hope or that we have seen perhaps a bottom in the stock price? It hit a 52 week low yesterday. There has been insider buying last 3-6 months vs sells. Has this essentially become a value stock now vs growth?
I do not own but it is on my watch list.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Peter and crew; I currently hold positions in both CIBC and TORONTO Dominion banks. Both have sat in my portfolio to give balance to a tech heavy US investment program. As a growth investor my thinking is to sell both banks, and add to my U S stocks. Can you share with me your one year opinion on Canadian banks and as well suggest 3 or 4 US growth stocks for a1 to 5 year hold.. I have a fairly high risk tolerance and patience

Q: What am I missing about PBH: high crazy debt, low ROE, high P/R . High interest rates must be hurting them with all this debt. I never bought because it always seems expensive. My neighbour and his LP have held 7% shares for many years - bought low single digits. I should have listened to him all those many years ago - LOL.. Too expensive to buy now as I can get better returns in banks: capital and compounding dividends. Just curious on your comments. I thought ofd buying at $79.00 and, of course did not do so.

Q: I've been continuing to hold NBLY and watching it continue to drop. It is now a 1% portfolio position. I read your answer about NBLY yesterday and wasn't entirely encouraged by the forward P/E and margins. For a 40 y/o investor who holds this stock in a LIRA (long term horizon), are the prospects so bright that we should wait out the eventual recovery? Or should I look to buy something with better potential in the shorter term?
