Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

Not sure where I read it but somewhere I saw a comparison of SHOP to the FAANG stocks and that it could achieve that level over time. Do you agree? Could it be a trillion dollar company? Can you see a large tech company in the U.S. acquiring it?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hello.
This question may cause some issues or even an uproar amongst some of your members but we live in a free society and I am entitled to question what I feel like and air my views and opinions as I see fit.
China, for most part has been a bully to Canada including other counties like Australia and India. In my view , we should be moving away from Chinese companies, not working with them. I for example sold my position in SHOP purely because of their alliance with a Chinese company.
Many of these companies have bad work ethic not to mention stealing of information. How can we trust them?
Why would a Canadian company like SHOP do something like this when our relationship with China has never been worse. We should be boycotting them until they clean up their act.

Thanks

Q: With the increase in price of KXS,DSG, SHOP, REAL and LSPD I now have a total of 23% of my portfolio in these shares. I have taken profits and reduced my position each of them. The only concerns I have going forward is with KXS and DSG. Ross Healy on BNN did not have a very Rosie picture for KXS. I know that different views is what makes a market. You continue to be much more positive on KXS and continue to recommend it. DSG andKXS are somewhat similar. I respect your opinion, would you recommend selling either one? If so which? I view many of these guest as having a person interest in recommendations. I always take them with a grain of salt. I have seen this in my previous life while working for a major investment firm.

Q: Could you rank these companies in order of preference for future performance? Investing a lump sum gradually over the next 6 to 12 months and I have zero tech exposure right now.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: My 40-year-old daughter has $42K in her RRSPs with Scotia Bank. Her advisor put her in two funds. BSN378 and BSN385. One is 45% invested in basically bonds and 40 Canadian stocks. The other is 12.3 % cash and 47 Canadian stocks. The exception is 2% invested in Microsoft. I assume there is a lot of duplication between the two funds investing in the same Canadian Companies. The MER is close to 2%. Apart from this being a travesty - I would like to move her into a self administered RRSP with a mix of a balanced ETF and three other stocks. She is regularly adding more money. She won't be withdrawing money from this account for at least 25 years.

Would you kindly suggest a suitable balanced ETF.

The three stocks I would suggest for a long term hold would be BAM, SHOP and ENB. Could I have your opinion or options please. Deduct as many questions as you see fit.

THANK YOU!
Bryan

Q: Could you please rank above Tech stocks in order of preference that you would purchase or hold right now. I have all except CRWD and U, but they seem to be coming up in your lists more frequently.

Q: Hello, I have a 2 part question:
1> I currently own a 5% position in LSPD and 2% position in KXS, ENGH SHOP. and QSR . which one(s) would you sell now as a vaccine will emerge soon? and which one(s) keep long term.
2> Could you provide 3-4 names of Value stocks that pay a dividend, and that will benefit when the economy re-opens. And, will benefit from inflation.
Thanks for your great service

Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS

Q: You have, in the past, listed about ten companies (including CSU, X, KXS, CAE, BYD, ENB, ADW) that you felt had a unique opportunity to flourish under these special circumstances.
Asking the same question today, what would your updated list look like?

Q: I had bought and sold some of my shopify stock. I am still holding 25 shares. What do you see happening to the shopify stock,Do you feel it is time to sell it?
Thank you

Q: What happened to SHOP today?
Thanks

Q: As a general preamble, I notice that, given the recent dip, a surprising number of companies have stalled over a 2, 3 or 4 month periods. SHOP has done nothing since late June, AAPL since early August. Aside from gyrating do you consider this sideways movement the equivalent of a re-valuation? Would you recommend buying companies such as these, that also have good recent earnings reports and outlooks? And can you comment on these two specifically? If you can add any other names to this list I would appreciate it. Thank-you.

Q: Trying to understand the reaction to SHOP's apparently good results. Understand the overall market sentiment is weak. The range of views of analysts are all over the map. Some have buys with high target prices, some have hold with average prices and this afternoon Merrill came out with sell and a low price. Most of these analysts have rating records in the top 10% of all analysts (according to TD). Can you shed some light? How would 5I rate the stock?

Q: Can you comment on Shop's earnings after the conference call. Is this enough of a beat to maintain it's price momentum?

Q: I am curious as to why SHOP's share price is dropping after Shop's great earnings release.
