Investment Q&A

Q: Hello! Thank you for all you do. Tax prep this year was an eye opener. I would like to simplify my life. I would like to simplify my US holdings for tax purposes by selling the individual companies an holding an ETF in Canadian funds which hold top blue chip US companies. I no longer want to keep record of exchange rates when buying and selling US stocks years later. Can you recommend some that have a low MER and a good yield?

Q: Can a cord has now settled it US problem and it's looking into the possible sale of the UK division. Stock is down a couple of dollars in the last couple of weeks. Do you believe this would be a good entry time. But it's your thoughts on this company.

Q: Being mostly a "dividend long term" investor ,I did not invest in tech stocks up to now, except for some specific etfs . Considering this kind of "switch" from tech to energy stocks in the markets,and new valuations of major US tech stock ,I just started to invest in this sector.What is your view versus the opportunities and timing for investing in major tech stocks actually ?

Q: These two companies have run up a bit but I wonder if they still fly under the radar in regards to the photonics advantage (light) over copper in the chip manufacturing industry. Have you heard much about this?
In looking at a semiconductor ETF like SMH for example I do not see these included as they tend to favor larger names.
Also not sure how much analysts have caught up to this story as a potential boost to these and other similar companies.

Q: Hi Peter
gold has dropped below 5000 and XGD is in decline
so is silver

I wonder what is the next support level of XGD , should one trim back and wait for a bottom to form?
thanks

Q: Their earnings report today borders on incredible. It looks like they will earn at least $80/share in the new 12 months, which means their PE is very very small and the stock seems very cheap. The only question I have is about their capex plans - they are building so much capacity (all over the world), all the way out to 2028, that I wonder when demand is likely to peak. Keeping in mind this is a cyclical stock, I don't want to get over my skis. I love it short term, but do you have any expectation of when the supply will be sufficient and margins will start to come down? I suspect fears about this issue is what is holding the share price down

Q: Hello, could you comment on BOYD earnings?

Many thanks

It seems logical that they will want to retire soon.
Do you agree that a transition is near term likely ?
The stock is rising lately ?

Q: I am wondering about your newfound enthusiasm for HME, and why this microcap is lately being recommended alongside stocks such as TOU, SU, CNQ and IMO. As recently as Jan. 29 in a reply to Thomas, your opinion was decidedly less positive about the stock and its prospects.
What has changed, that we should be taking a closer look at HME?

Q: My RRSP has a roughly 50/40/10 split between core compounders, defensive holdings, and income holdings. I will not need any of the money for at least five years. What do you think of the split? Could I please get your top stock and ETF recommendations for an RRSP today? Also, what do you think of FIE, ZRE, and covered call ETFs in an RRSP? Thanks.

Q: I hold NVDA, CLS, TER, NBIS. Considering buying MU. How much overlap in these companies? Would you sell any based on exposure?

Q: Retried and have a diversified stock and bond portfolio that I live off. Not tending to the portfolio as much as much as I have in the past and wish to simply my life. I am thinking of selling most of my portfolio and buying "all in one ETFs". Would you advise selling all and buying only one of the above ETFs or " diversifying" by splitting into all three above or even more ETFs to avoid risk of illiquidity in the event of a need to a large amount of cash. Please elaborate on any other risks in a strategy, such as company reputational risk, in allocating a very large percentage of the portfolio to only one or three such ETFs.

Q: What are 5 beaten down high dividend paying stocks with great value that you would invest in today?
