Investment Q&A

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

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

Q: Is recent question I asked was only partially answered. The question was asked by Tim on Oct 8. Here is your response:
Our top five for a growth investor with a long-term timeframe would be: SHOP ($220 if possible), BN ($91-$93), TRI ($190 to $200), CSU ($3800), TD ($105 to $110) /BNS ($85).

The part of the question not answered was whether these large cap stocks would be suitable for a tfsa. I have been using small caps mostly, but now am wanting to get more conservative. Thanks very much

Q: Hi Team,
I'm considering selling CSU and TRI for capital loss. Do you see these two moving up significantly in the 30 day waiting period? Would you re-buy both after 30 days or move the funds elsewhere?
Thanks

Q: I am under water in these three companies, should I keep holding them or should I sell them.

Q: We definitely bought TRI at the recent high and ever since TRI seems to be falling .5-1% per day. My husband wants to sell and cut our losses. I think TRI must be close to its bottom. Has there been a fundamental change, or has the sentiment change just been over last quarter’s miss? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Q: Good morning.

In an attempt to diversify my stock holdings across different sectors of the economy I was having difficulty in determining to which sector TRI belongs. I’ve seen it referred to as a technology company, a finance company and an industrial company. If you had a gun to your head (please pardon the figure of speech) and had to choose a sector to which TRI belongs which one would you choose?

Many thanks.

Q: I have $10k to invest and I want to buy some stocks (Canadian or CDR) that are underpriced.

I was thinking to invest in TRI, MDA, TFII, TVK and GSY. Maybe Amzn.

For a 3 year hold, how would you rank these stocks? Any other suggestions.
Read Answer Asked by V on September 24, 2025

4 LMN or SHOP

Q: Can you name 5-10 stocks in the US or Canada that seem to have been unfairly punished this year, or even lately, such that it would be a good time to pick them up. Thanks!

Read Answer Asked by Ray on September 18, 2025
Q: Hi Peter, I have a TFSA portfolio with 15 stocks in it and was thinking of adding TRI to the list. In order to do this I would have to sell 10 shares of my RY and 7 shares of my CM which together generate a 78.60 dividend a year. The new position in TRI would probably be around 10 shares and a 1% weighting in the portfolio giving me a divided of 23.60 a year. Is losing the difference in dividends of 55.00 worth adding TRI, does doing this make sense in the long run. Thanks

Q: My son (23) has 9000$ to invest in his first TFSA (he already has a FHSA account that is maxed out). He wants to open a TFSA investing account. Do you have a recommendation for how he breaks up the 9000.00 (ie. 3 stocks)? Are there any sectors that he should focus on at first? Do any particular stocks jump out at you as suitable for this kind or foray into the market?

Thanks in advance
Sue

Read Answer Asked by Ray on September 03, 2025
Q: For a 5-10 year hold within a TFSA could you please provide your top 10 Canadian stocks or CDR’s ranked by total return/compounding potential? For a non-registered account with a 3-5 year timeframe could you also do a top 10 list including both Canadian or US equities (no CDR’s), again ranked by total return/compounding potential? Thanks.
