Q: Looking at the question by Michael on Jacobs today I see a company having 2026 net revenue growth of 6-10 % but a PE of 54 ! Sure it’s a fine company in a good sector but does it really deserve a PE of 54 ? Other solid companies in Canada with historically high PE ‘s such as TRI , WSP , and FSV etc., seem to be going through a valuation revision downward. The question is will the revised valuation remain or will the premium valuation return ? Your thoughts. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi Peter,
Given the current valuations and the growth projection (or lack of), which two of these four stocks will most likely to have the least possibility of year end bounce and thus are ideal for tax loss selling? MDA, TRI, SRAD, or GLXY. Do you see any of these worth repurchasing for a 2 year hold after the 30 days period? Thanks.

Q: A number of your past favourites have been beaten up over the last few weeks. Is there any that you would sell and move on from? Are there any of these companies that you would be buying or adding to at these levels?

Thanks

Q: The above stocks make up 80.4% of my holdings. Goog and BN @7% each. The next 5 @ 4% each and the rest at or close to 3% each. For a 10 year horizon, with risk/reward in mind, where would you invest if you had 10% of the portfolio in dry powder- new cash. Any you would sell? Note, I have been trimming CLS, VRT and NBIS to control AI exposure.

Thanks again for all the insights - love the service you provide.

Q: We just opened a TFSA account for my daughter, she is 18.

Money is not needed for a long time. Our aim is to maximize the growth, risk tolerant, tax efficiency and easy to manage.

Would you recommend ETF's or Individual stocks? How many positions? What companies/ETF?

Also, is there a place for bitcoin? If yes what %.

Thanks in advance

Q: Good morning, could you please identify 8 "safer" companies you see at or close to the bottom of their trough at this time that have a dividend (% of dividend does not matter)? For example my guess would be CNR which was at $178 in March 2024 and now at $135 with a yield of 2.63% at this price.
Thx,
Kevin

Q: Good Day,

With the end of the year approaching and the US poking the tarriff bear again (pun... intended?), do you see more selling/profit taking coming in the end of the year?

It seems many names have either been hit by these latest developments, have unsubstantiated short report attacks, or have no news declines. What are some of your favourite names right now that have solid outlooks/execution and some real potential for strong recovery? Say 10 names, mix of Canada and US with attractive entry prices?

Secondly, what would be your main buy targets likely to see tax loss selling? What would be an attractive entry price for them?

No need for megacap names, I'm well represented there.

Thanks!

James
