Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you for the recent flash update on several companies that have experienced a large decline in the last few months. Your reports reaffirmed the solid foundation of these companies. Also nice to see a bit of a bounce upward of these companies,
Thanks Stephen

Q: Please flesh out your use of RSI.
What patterns or movements do you consider most relevant in trying to identify bullish or bearish moves?

Thank you,

Q: Hello,
I assume like most subscribers, I read the questions section almost daily and wonder if any of the stocks mentioned are in your various portfolios.

To find out if they are involves many steps which is inconvenient. Is there a way to indicate if the stock is in a current portfolio? Maybe a Star or similar symbol?
Many thanks

Q: Markets are acting pretty badly with most of AI in retreat. Even growth names like NFLX and SpOT are very weak. What would you recommend for investors who have a medium risk tolerance. Sign me Concerned

Q: Is technical analysis part of your methodology and if so which indicators to do use?
Thank you

Q: Would you consider BTCX.B:CA a good way to invest in Bitcoin. What’s your overall opinion of
Bitcoin and is it worth speculating a small portion
of one’s portfolio?

Q: Goldman shows currently that CTA's will dump stocks in every scenario (market up or down) over the next month, including total sales over $75 billion. This number is large versus average. Is this a meaningful indicator that you watch, or just another "worry"? I guess it is mainly an indicator of flow.

Q: Japan's 20Y has spiked to 2.75%, marking a historic shift. I tead this could trigger short-term volatility in risk assets. Do you act on this? For example my bond portfolio contains some ETFs with 10y and 20y durations. Should I move more to shorter duration? On equities higher risk assets are more vilnerable? How big of deal is this looking forward, or just another "worry"?

Q: Dear Peter:

Given your long experience working with some giants like Sprott and running funds, given the current market conditions, do you think Fund managers will sell and lock in their profits for year end performance figures or buy into weaknesses for a better performance figure next few quarters? Won't their buying and selling behavior affect the volatility?

From whatever I read, it seems that year end performance bonuses are important for many in the industry!!

I am not asking to "time the market" but to withdraw money from my Registered account for living expenses:)

Q: Everyone. As of today this is a normal correction and it will end. So what should we be doing in the next week(s)? Clayton

Q: This stock popped up on my radar with a couple positive analyst recommendations. What is your opinion, is this investable and does the $20 plus share forecast seem reasonable? Or is AI going to make this company obsolete

Q: What are your thoughts on the markets if the US government has to pay back all of the tariff money , which I think is very possible.

Q: Where do you see bitcoin going in the next year or two? Is now the time to lock in gains?

Q: when is the best time to add dry powder during tax loss season. Is November to early or should we be waiting till end of December?
Thanks Dave

Q: Hi All, can you provide with a list of companies to your liking that they are good value for the tax selling season. Thanks

Q: I "used to believe" that TFSA was an indication to buy "excellent " growth stocks with strong potential..The problem is that, if only 1-2 of those drops significantly ,they could easily annihilate all other gains ! It appears to me that selling stocks in a TFSA when they double or more, and selling stocks that keep going down (with 10-15 % loss) ,in order to balance the portfolio,is quite helpful. Your feedback or suggestion shall be appreciated.

Q: On Friday there was a big rebound in the stock indexes after large early losses. I noticed that some stocks had big bounces off the day's low point, some rising 10% from the low of the day, whereas some stocks didn't bounce back much at all. Wondering if the big bounce back for some stocks indicates there is more investor support for longer term ownership of these stocks, and they should perform better, or is it just a one-off that doesn't really have any predictive value.

Q: I’m interested in your thoughts on the effect a reversal of the US tariffs by the Supreme Court would have on the public markets.
Thank you for this great service.

Q: Morning 5i,
Now that the details of the budget have been revealed (and although not a sure thing, assuming that it does survive the upcoming vote) could you identify the 5 names that you think will benefit most from a share appreciation standpoint until the next budget comes along in a year's time, along with your rationale for each.
Thanks 5i, and I look forward to your thoughts.

As a corollary to my recent question about names that will benefit most from the budget, could you also identify those names, if any, that you think might suffer most from the just released budgetary terms? (For example, I heard something about "predatory lenders" being restricted, and I wonder if GSY or PRL might meet the government's definition of predatory lender and, if so, what they are facing as a result.) But also, any other companies in other sectors that you think might face headwinds due to the budget.
Peter

Q: What are your thoughts on the budget and the impact it may have on stocks in general? Is there anything in the budget that will have a specific positive impact on any of your list of growth stocks? If yes, can you indicate which stocks and what might be expected? Defence spending is big but I'm assuming this has been baked into defence based companies already.
