Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
1. What is your opinion on PYPL earnings and future?

Does this company hold any/much interest to you..why/why not?
With the current drop in share price what would be decent entry point? Would you add to existing position,hold or exit?

2. With reference to a previous question on NUVEI, what would you consider good entry point for this stock given current price drop.

Thx
Jim

Q: Is a Canadian company like Abcellera, that trades only on a U.S. exchange, considered foreign property?

Q: SJ is dropping drastically today, do you know why?
Also, years ago you referred to SJ as a Rip Van Winkle stock. Are you still feeling that way, or is out of favour? If you recommend to buy more, up to 1/2 a position, what target price do you think makes it worthwhile?

Q: How significant is the delay in filing the financial statements?

Thanks

Q: When it comes to small caps I have never been a believer in " The market has priced in " or " The market looks ahead " .... I am a firm believer in ..... " The market is herded by the loudest barking dog " .... For example REAL makes money , has money in the bank, missed earnings by a penny and got crushed .... The " dog " got very loud.....This brings me to AND who in two years with a 14% annual growth rate is getting close to tripling in price .....It's a bricks and mortar type of company which appeals to me .....But AND is a small cap that has had a run ..... Please give me your opinion of a current valuation for the stock ? { stock price and a good entry point } And more importantly a speculation on what that damn "dog " might do should they miss earnings estimates by 4%-10% ? { stock price } .... Which with the world's current supply chain issues is certainly possible .... For example new truck drivers are in short supply these days ..... I realize I am asking you to make an educated guess but I trust your guessing a lot more than mine ......I am having a tough time assessing this particular small cap's volatility potential which is how I assess the position size I take .....Also please provide the next earnings report day ? ..... Thanks for your great service .....

Q: I was looking into crypto and was considering 65% ETHX.B and 35% BTCQ over buying ETC which is 70/30 Bitcoin/ Eth.
Wondering your thoughts as this would be a five year hold and a 5% position. I would also look at an Alt Coin ETF are you aware of any in Canada or USA?

Q: Annually I review my portfolio following a great book I read years ago, called "Master Your Retirement" by Douglas V. Nelson. One calculation I perform is to calculate the average beta for my entire portfolio.

I hold these two legacy funds. I haven't been able to find their beta for a number of years. The last data I had was 1.00 for RBF1018 and 0.40 for CIG50217. Can you check your search engines for anything more recent...thanks.

I also hold Eric's Nine Point Energy ETF (NNRG). I can't find a beta for it either. As a proxy I used the beta for XEG (2.33). Do you have anything better...thanks.

Thanks for your help...Steve

Just wondering if I could get your thoughts on this company. It seems to have some good momentum now.
Thank you

Q: Do you think REITS, with their combination of high debt and yield are particularly vulnerable in a rising rate environment? Or does the underlying economic improvement that leads to rising rates counteract this? Also which sectoral REITS would you prefer in a rising rate environment if any, and finally if you have any other thoughts on this, please share them. Thanks.

Q: Please comment on earnings. Thanks

Q: Vermillion has been quite a bit higher in the past years. Now with oil around $80, although the stock is up it is not getting back to where it was a few years ago. Is it company specific issues like maybe debt or does the market not trust oil staying at $80? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Mike

Q: Hi Peter and team:
This is both a macro and micro question. Energy sector is hot and when I see you are tweeting a response to Eric Nuttal's exuberance, then I know I have to take notice!

When you gaze into your crystal ball, :) how much more upside do you see in the energy sector? Assuming energy has a ways to go yet, do you think it is going to be propelled by large caps or mid/small caps? Is it easy to play this rally via XEG or ZJO?
Or read your Q&A and buy an assortment of large and mid/small caps? I know you have consistently favored U/ENB for example.
Many thanks.

Q: CURA .. your take on earnings ...thx

Q: They've had a great run, I've owned it for probably 10 years, and every time I think the story has stalled out, they seem to do another consequential acquisition. Blow-out numbers, particularly on the organic side, and raised dividend significantly. Do you see any issues with this one, or steady as it goes?
Thank you as always...
