Investment Q&A

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

Q: 1) would you take a half position in PLC today?
2) would you take a half position in SIA today?
3) would you take a half position in WELL today?
4) Would you take a half position in ENGH today?

If you could just rank your "yes'". No details needed. I am young, have a long term time horizon, don't mind risk, and can add on further market weekness. Thanks.

Q: In response to the question concerning risks to Storage Vault, you stated in your answer: "We see no particular reason why consumers would suddenly pull items out of storage in a corona world, though."

It seems reasonable to me that people whose incomes are threatened will be looking to reduce expenses. Even if their jobs are still secure, caution may prod them to review all costs and cut where feasible. A storage rental unit can cost $1,500 per year to $5,000 per year or more. People forced to stay at home may be spending some of their time reducing their stuff and possibly making room for things currently in their storage unit. Keep in mind, too, that there are calls out to support non-profits, charities, etc. with donations.

This is what I'm currently doing. Granted, this is purely anecdotal based on a sample size of one. But it merits consideration.

Q: Hi Guys
Morningstar show DEC 2019 short term debt at $395 Million and cash at 60 million
Do you know what the short term debt was used for, an if Canfor has the credit facilities to handle there debt. I was thinking on taking a small position in this stock at current price levels, after all if Pattison was willing to offer $18 or so a share.
Thanks Gord

Q: The above TFSA holdings have not performed well and of course, are not eligible as tax loss harvesting. This is one of the potential downsides of TFSA investments. Please give me your thoughts on which ones you would move on from and without worrying about sectors, some replacements you think will recover well. Thanks again for your guidance.

Q: Could you provide an update on this company, in particular, its level of debt, cash flow, growth opportunities and ability to survive through the market turmoil and a recession. The company has been steadily declining for the past several months so its recent low may not necessarily be related to the volatile market. With the downturn my position is relatively small and I am trying to decide whether to hold, add, or sell outright and use the money to buy something in a similar field (beer, wine or distillery related) with perhaps more potential over the next two to three years. Thanks.
