Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am getting nervous about commercial real estate in the US. I think we are in the early stages of a sea change in that malls are struggling/closing due to the shift to online retail. Stocks like AMZN and SHOP are rocketing because of this shift. One of the stocks I have owned for a while is BAM.A. Although it has infrastructure and renewable arms the bulk of its revenue is from real estate. Because they own General Growth they have a large number of malls in the US. My question: should I be shifting my BAM.A money into BEP or BIP or BBU to get around this secular shift that will presumably start affecting the company going forwards?

Q: Good day,
I have some cash to deploy.
I am considering to buy SNC Lavalin (SNC) but I also like Stantec (STN)in the engineering field, which company would you recommand in this field?.

I am also considering taking a half position in ACQ. It seems less risky (although it is far from a blue chip..) following the recent drop, what do you think of the long term prospect of this company?

Finally, I have no gold stocks in my portfolio and feel I should add some, which names would you recommend at this point?

Thanks for the good work!

Q: EFN:
Do you see anything that would explain share fluctuations last couple of days? Is this someone establishing a position in the stock?

SHOP:
Can you compare current institutional position in the stock to historical data? Would that account for the meteoric rise of the stock?

Q: With today's carnage on Bad and last weeks HCG and the fact that it is done from the States makes it obvious that shorting on the Canadian side is a lot easier and as you say without regulatory control. What makes it different in the States and why is it not here?

Thanks

Q: Hi, Could you please share your comments on today's debut of this much awaited IPO. The issue was oversubscribed 7X, but looks like allotees were in a rush to cash in. I read somewhere that 85% of the issue was allocated to institutions. Do you think, today's trading was mostly retail investors ? What is your outlook of the company and the stock, going forward ? Did I see somewhere that co. will release it's 1st quarterly results on Monday May 15? If so, you have any insight ? I did start a position today and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks
