Q: Chemical prices have mostly reversed lower in the last few weeks down over 9 percent. Is it time to sell methanex and lock in profits? It is trending downward. Do you still recommend it?
Q: I am trying to replicate the Growth as well as the Balanced Portfolios. I have funds to add two half positions and the 7 stocks listed are the only stocks I currently do not hold. Which would be your top 2 picks and what is the rationale.
Q: This may have been asked before but is there a link which provides the specific date or month a security was added to each of the model portfolios? Can this be added to the monthly report? Thanks
Do you see any averaging down opportunities or deals adding positions to any of these stocks that are currently negative in my portfolio?
CLS down 20% with 1/3 position
PTE down 15% with 1/3 position
BYD.UN down 10% with 1/2 position
GPS down 15% with 1/3 position
KWH.UN down 10% with 1/2 position
Q: Currently sitting on a 15% loss on ENGH. I only have a 3% position in MX and SJ. Sectors are not an issue. Would you recommend moving on now from ENGH and topping up both the others?
Q: Almost daily headlines in Vancouver's newspaper re River Rock casino,Vancouver(owned by GC),Yesterday headline---Casino money -laundering probe found alleged"terrorist financing".New B.C.Attorney General had ordered a independent review of B.C.'s anti-money laundering policies & practices re B.C. casinos.So far,it appears that River Rock is alleged et be heavily involved & BCLC(supervising body) likes the huge tax revenue from casinos.Stay tuned.
Q: SHOP has had a very high valuation for the longest time on every metrics using comparables with similar stocks.
Even though the short sellers thesis is wrong, would a report like this make the stock correct naturally to a more reasonable valuation?
Meaning, maybe the real value of SHOP should be $100CAN instead of the present $130 and this report will be an EXCUSE to correct the price of SHOP and lower its NEW valuation for once and for all?
Is this what is happening right before our eyes?
Thanks
Shopify responds to short-seller, ‘vigorously’ defends business model
Ian Vandaelle, Chase Producer, BNN
Shopify has responded to allegations levelled against the company by short-seller Andrew Left of Citron Research.
In a statement released early Thursday, Shopify defended its business model, which Left said relies on pitching a “get rich quick scheme” comparable to Herbalife.
“We vigorously defend our business model and stand resolutely behind our mission and the success of our merchants,” Shopify said in the press release.
“Shopify has always strived to take the path that leads to more entrepreneurs by designing its platform to remove the technical, operational, and financial barriers to enable anyone, anywhere, to build, grow, and scale a business.”
Q: I see ITC has had a nice bounce in the last few days. Any news on this or just normal small cap volatility? I know you said you were getting impatient with this name, how much longer would you give it?
