Investment Q&A

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

Q: J's comment on March 30, about the small ADR fee charged, is interesting and I wonder if he would elaborate, e.g. how does he determine the fee, does it apply to all ADRs, etc. (This topic may be suited to the forums, if J could be redirected.)

Q: greetings - I'm thinking of harvesting some NTR gains. Other than the financial sector ( I have RBC, SLF, BAM, GSY, BNS) and energy ( have CNQ, SU, ENB and TU) which Canadian companies do you regard with the strongest conviction these days for long term holds. Dividends are always nice but not a stopper. Thanks for a steady hand on the tiller. Al

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Another question about Nutrien......The following is an excerpt from a recent Morningstar report on NTR:

"While the market likely overvalues the fertilizer business' outlook, we
think investors undervalue the lithium business, which will generate the majority of future profits."

What is your view on the above statement?

Your recent answer to another member that used a baseball analogy was interesting, so would it be correct to say that NTR is not a 'buy and hold forever' type of stock?

Also, what would be your top picks for lithium stocks (any country), and Canadian ETFs that have substantial lithium exposure?

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Q: Hi 5i
As we all know, growth companies need to maintain strong growth to justify their valuations. In looking at some past answers, I am not clear if you prefer earnings growth or revenue growth as the key metric. For a tech company, what would you consider as a strong earnings growth rate and a strong revenue growth rate? How many years do you look out? Are there any websites that show these projections? I do not believe that your website shows forward looking growth rates, just historical ones.
Thanks again.

Q: On GSY & WELL. I am down 30% on both in a registered account. Looking at the tax loss and moving to AT and CSU. I have started to use this as a growth account. Or I could sell and wait 30 days to rebuy. Looking for growth possibility so being a little more aggressive is OK

Q: I have to move $100K into my RSP for corporate tax reasons. I have been waiting for the market to settle. I am in no rush just have to do it before October. I know you can’t time the market but thinking about making the transfer and then slowly buying over the next while as the ups and downs are not as big as they have been over the last many months. Your thoughts on this?

Another option may be purchasing a few ETFs both growth and balanced. I have no ETFs to date and think this may be an option, any suggestions?
