Q: Could you suggest 2 safer Canadian stocks to go with QSR, GSY and SLF to add to my grandsons RESP for a long term hold. Dividend would be nice but not necessary.

I'm down 20% on QSR so would you sell at this time to add to the others?

Q: Hey Peter,

I am confounded. Ctc.a is down approx 10% in the past few months. HD and LOW are up approx 15% similarily

That's a disparity of approx 25% and they're all in the same business.

I know its not the B of C announcement today that caused this.

What is your thoughts on why and MOST IMPORTANTLY would you suggest I still hold?

Up only 6% on my position currently.

Thanks


Sheldon

Q: What is causing the current weakness in Methanex ? I have had success with it in the past and your fairly recent comments are positive so am considering picking some up at todays price. Any benefit to buying in US$ other than retaining dividends in US$ without losing on currency exchange ?
Have been with 5I since inception and am very happy with your insight.

John.

Q: These companies appeal to me for various reasons, some of which I currently own. For new money in an unregistered account, in your opinion which two would have the most pop in the near future and likely for a 3 yr hold? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and staff,
Thanks for the great information that you guys provide.
These are the holdings in my wife's TFSA account. I have owned CNR since March of 2020 and have done quite well but I'm wondering if this stock has reached the top of the price range and it's time to move on. The average Price Target is $165. Do you think that CNR still has upside or can you name two stocks to replace it.

Thanks and have a great day
Joe

Q: I have a couple of stocks which have effectively gone to $0 a couple of years ago. But, I'm not sure why they're still listed in my margin account, if they're worthless.

My broker is offering a service where I can donate the shares to them, and then officially declare a tax loss. I'm thinking of taking them up on this offer, but I want your opinion, just in case either of these stocks still has some life left in it (or if I'm not understanding the $0 valuation properly). For example, the assets of Bellatrix Exploration (oil and gas) were taken over by another company. I assume this was some kind of bankruptcy sale.

Is it safe to say that with a reasonable probability that the shares of both Bellatrix and Distinct Infrastructure are effectively worthless?
