Investment Q&A

Q: can you update me on their progress . expected earnings on monday thanks

Q: The phrase “Don’t trust anyone over 30” was coined in the 60’s, but as I head into CPP eligibility age I’m kind of leaning the other way, and so hope Peter can answer this one.

I remember the energy crisis of the 70’s, stagflation, price and wage controls and bought a home after the housing bubble burst in the 80’s and watched many of my new neighbours wait 10 years or more to get back to what they had paid. I loved rolling over 90 day GIC’s (remember Trust Companies?) at double digit interest rates but wasn’t invested in equities.

Specifically on the question of stagflation, if we end up in that horrible scenario again is there such thing as a good stock to hold? If so, can you provide 5 to 10 that you would want in your portfolio?

Thanks again for your steady hand on the wheel lately.

Q: What are your thoughts on BABA short term. It seems to be so beaten up that any good news is pushing it up rapidly. How does it look on a valuation stand point if it ends up being a long term hold

Q: Can you comment on the recent rise in this stock?
Would you continue to hold?

Q: Hello, just wondering why GOOG seems to be the most loved of the fangs. I don't expect you to compare all of them, but can you cite a couple particulars in terms of metrics or whatever it is in a quantifiable stand point that's making GOOG so much more "attractive"

Q: Gentlemen; Is it your expectation that the Company will need to issue equity to pay for their recent acquisitions.

Q: If you could double up one name from the income portfolio today which one would it.

Q: Have held SLF a number of years(registered income producing account), and have a 67% capital gain not counting dividends. I am thinking of taking the profit and re deploying to POW. Rational: higher dividend, trading in the lower/middle of it's 1 year range and analysts giving it more upside potential, more global exposure? (Europe). Do you see this as a reasonable move or am I trading down in quality for the additional yield

Q: Can you explain the SHOP price disparity on the US and CAD exchanges that occurred recently? Reference your answer to a member question yesterday 'SHOP had an unusual spike close on Friday and was up $122. Today it is down $110 and still up over two days. On the TSX where there was no spike the stock is down $20 only today.'

Q: which companies would be your favored uranium plays ?

Q: This was one you had liked in the past, and certainly with tightness continuing with chips, and therefore reduced new automobile supply, this used car auctioneer I thought would have held up better in these volatile markets. Are you still as keen on this one, or would you use this holding as a source of funds for other ideas. Essentially, is it a 'soft' hold at this point?

Thank you as always...

Q: Hello 5i,
My daughter who is 40 with an over 10 year time line and does not need the funds, is down 50% with BYD. Should she let it go and put the left over into something else or hang in?
Thank you
Stanley

Q: In your view, what impact will the Liberal/NDP cash grab on the Canadian Banks have on their stock prices. Each of them are expanding outside Canada....does this help mitigate any new tax?
