Investment Q&A

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

Q: If I understand what I have been reading in your comments is that small caps in general are down but have good potential if the economy gets back on track. What would be your favourite Canadian traded ETF to capture a small-cap rebound in Canada and your favourite that trades in the US?

Q: Peter,

There seems to be some love returning to the beleagured Canadian small/micro cap stocks. Given how much they have declined, it looks like there is decent upside if the recovery continues.

On this note, do you see STC as a name that has not yet joined the party (with PAY, NVEI, LSPD, DTOL, DCBO, etc., already on the move) and has some decent potential here?

What would be your top three picks in this space at this time?

Thanks for your outstanding service,

David

Q: WELL appears to be a reasonable recession-resistant investment, and management seems solid to me. Questions:

- How similar is TDOC's business model in comparison, and can WELL differentiate itself enough with its expansion into the U.S. ?

- Can 5i envision any other different avenues of growth for WELL to expand it's offerings within the health sector ?

- Is its current balance sheet sound, and can this company endure a rising interest rate environment ?


Thanks.

Q: My portfolio is recovering well, but still down about 5% down from its high because of the small caps that I own. They are all cheap and profitable companies, but some are still down 50%. If we go into recession will they crash? How should I deal with these companies? Should I be taking losses now to protect from future losses? I just don't understand the market right now because usually small caps are the first to recover. My original plan was to sell 1/2 after they recovered but that isn't happening.

Q: Hoping for your thoughts and input on this junior tech and clean tech company (EXRO:CA) It seems they are on the cusp of big things, with ongoing contracts signed for their products, including Linamar recently and, and another global auto OEM still under a non disclosure agreement. Would now be a good time to buy in. Thank you!

Is this another BRE-X?

Thank you.

Q: Hi, the last response (Mar '23) on JWEL was ..."It's 18X earnings, we think 15X would be a better price point.", what would 15x equate to in stock price?
Has anything else changed since the release of Q1 results that gives you more hope or that we have seen perhaps a bottom in the stock price? It hit a 52 week low yesterday. There has been insider buying last 3-6 months vs sells. Has this essentially become a value stock now vs growth?
I do not own but it is on my watch list.

Cheers,
Steve
