Investment Q&A

Q: As recommended at the time, I just left my AW.ca stock when they did a corporate action. Now I am down significantly. Not sure if I should sell -I have some in a TFSA and some in a non-registered acct. Would it be wise to sell them both and then re-buy if market corrects or move on if it doesn't? I'm at more of a real loss in my TFSA, where it would seem now it doesn't need to be. I tend to just hold through volatility but would like to clean this up. Thanks.

Q: I know it is a risky penny stock, but can you provide a brief overview of what you think of this company? Valuation, growth prospects, balance sheet health etc.
Thanks,

Q: Good morning all,

Could you please provide your top 3 recommendations (in order - best to not so best) on gold; be it a major company or ETF.

Could you also provide top 3 junior gold plays you would recommend for capturing gold momentum, with potential to be absorbed by a major player in the space.

Thanks very much.

Q: Of the small cap stocks listed above which ones are the most seriously negatively impacted by tariffs and could be affected existentially?

Which ones do you feel by the construct of their businesses and segements they compete in will survive ?

Q: Your opinion on mako mining.Thanks

Q: with the sale of a 40% working interest for $ 150 m and growth plans and buying back shares and insiders owing a lot is this worth buying.

Q: Is it time to sell ECN? I am surprised at their reversal of fortune since their special dividend.

Is there a lesson I can learn from this?

Q: Please provide an update on Luca Mining now that it has achieved commercial production at its Tahuehueto mine. 85,000 and 100,000 gold equivalent ounces seems like a lot for a company with a market cap of 334M$. What is the difference between produced and payable metal? Thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on Nano:ca

Q: Hello,

How do I track the purchase buy backs of a company? More specifically, I'm curious to know how GSY and Enterprise Group (E.TO) are faring in their buy back programs.

You sometimes send out a link to websites but I can't find the post so I apologise if this is a repeat question.

Thanks.

Q: 5i, I "must sell" one or two of the above, in which order would you sell ? I need cash to pay taxes

Q: Could you comment on recent news and new insider share purchases?

Q: Hello 5i,
There have been many negative questions regarding Tariffs and other non-Canadian officials. Wondering if it makes sense to look to those Canadian companies that would benefit from the upcoming April 28, 2025 event results.
Following is my list of questions for you – please feel free to take as many credits as you require since I typically don’t use many.
• The clear winner looks to be BAM/BN/BIP/BEP with the massive housing & project build plans. Some housing build plans look to be well beyond anything the private sector has ever seen. Outside of investing in BAM/BN/BIP/BEP are there any other companies that will experience increased growth rates? Perhaps Canadian Only Lumber Companies, Steel, etc.… Being careful to ensure the industrial carbon tax doesn’t offset any building growth rates.
• Looks like major projects are going to be built to save the country from the tariffs. Assuming these are going to be non-conventional energy would the companies such as BAM/BN/BIP/BEP/WSP, benefit the most? Are there any other companies to start looking at? Perhaps carbon capture companies?
• I wonder if there are any areas of benefactors increasing/decreasing the amount of tax havens in Canada? There are a fair number of mid/small companies that could setup a beneficial tax structure and become more profitable. My experience with setting up offshore structures is that there are setup/dismantle/maintenance costs with Lawyers and Accountants but perhaps other benefactors are investable. Are there any publicly traded Accounting or Legal companies to start watching?
• With proposed additional spend to media companies are there any benefactors? Will BCE benefit from the overall plan? Are there companies worth looking at in the media sector?
• With the additional military spend are there any companies in Canada to invest in? I have a small position in MAL which could benefit from Canada built fighter jets. Is BBD.B a good one to look at?
• After reviewing the proposed firearm buyback pricing list, the overall program looks to be worth ~$2B in 2025 for Canadians. My question is could there be benefactors to this spend? Maybe ~$2B is not enough to stimulate the economy considering the current spending levels but it reminds me of a COVID-like spend bump. Assuming a large portion of the funds will be redistributed back into the economy.
• Health care seems to be getting an increased focus compounded with the buy Canada therefore are there any pure Canadian pharmaceutical/healthcare companies that will benefit? I have a SIS position that I could add to if they are going to be benefactors. Are there any companies that provide safe site vending machines or building structures?

Q: Hey guys - thanks for the great service!

From Well Health FY 2024 reporting - I read Well was penalized $2.8B USD for the Circle business billing. "Company recognized an expense of USD $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, for estimated settlement costs."

For a company with a Market Cap of about $1B.....this settlement cost appears to overwhelm any chance to remain solvent looking into the foreseeable future. What am I missing.

Q: I hold WELL, LMN, GLXY , EIF in roughly equal amounts in my TFSA and they are approximately 5% of my total cash and RRIF portfolios. My initial TFSA set up was for small cap growth stocks as other portfolios are full of banks , utilities, pipelines etc. Am retired and have enjoyed playing the “ riskier “ side of my portfolios , but haven’t made much money at it ! Am looking at selling it all and buying HTA for its
10 % distribution while keeping me in a growth sector. I like the idea of getting some money NOW instead of waiting till I sell. What do you think of this approach ? Possibly split the portfolio with HTA and EIF ? If I sold in stages in what order would you sell ? Thanks Derek.

Q: Trying to decide what to do with WELL. In the short term, where do you see the bottom price? Looking forward 6-12 months, what range do you see it trading at? Does 5i still believe in the story? I'm leaning to it still being intact but it has hit a few bumps. Another setback and things could turn ugly. Your thoughts?

Q: This is a bit of a crystal ball question: Given the recent interest in the gold sector, which companies do you think could be possible take-over candidates?
Thanks
