Investment Q&A

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

Q: Everyone, When evaluating a stock purchase, what process do you follow? Specifically, what financial metrics do you review, what peer companies or benchmarks do you compare the stock against, and do you typically buy the position all at once or build it over multiple purchases? Similarly, what criteria and process do you use when deciding to sell a stock? Clayton

Q: Hi 5i
Read 5i's comments on CCO's "solid" results this morning and considering a small position 2-3 year time frame.
What is their PE and are they considered overvalued?
Would 5i be interested in initiating a position at this time?
If so why and what price gets your attention as it has a small pullback after earnings,

thx

Q: Hello, my position in TRI has tanked and is now less than 1% of total holdings, and in a TFSA to boot. Going forward, does it make more sense to:
1)hold and hope
2)re-deploy to something with more upside potential.

Honestly, I'm surprised TRI is down this much and for this long. When I initiated the position I was expecting it to be a long-term keeper.

Q: There is increasing media coverage of the fact that data centres are gobbling up huge amounts of water and electricity. Communities in the US are now banning their construction fearing water shortages and higher power rates.
I assume industry is starting to look at these issues. I know it is very early in this game but are there companies dealing with these matters that one could start to review and analyze ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: In my TFSA I've been hit by the drop in CSU, DSG, TOI, LMN, and SHOP. Offset a bit by gains in TD, ENB, and SIS.

I have 12% in cash and am looking to rebalance and make some changes. I maintain 20% to 25% of the account in WXM. I like to follow stocks in the portfolios, mostly balanced, and those that you have reports on. I let things get a bit heavy on the software stocks, so looking for 5 or 6 idea's outside of that sector.

Can you make some suggestions? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Peter…the 18 years old grandson of a friend has put $7,000 CAD in his just opened TFSA and has asked for my help.
1) Do you have a reduced membership fee for young people?
2) I think he should structure his account with $5000 for a “core” holding and 2 $1,000 tranches for more risky investments.
3) For core I think GOOG, NBIS or MDA are good candidates.
4) For higher risk candidates I think VNP, CCO, ANRG or OMG might be promising.
5) Do you like Bombardier now that the company seems to have turned around?
6) He is OK with not purchasing dividend paying stocks like the banks and Life Insurance companies.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim
