Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello! I was wondering if you could recommend your favourite Space Stocks? Maybe 3 big cap names and 3 small or mid cap names. Either US or Can. Thanks.

Q: I bought Asana on the advice of a professional who uses their software, and on their momentum and sector momentum. I'd like to buy Unity software (U) and was thinking to sell ASAN concomitantly. Is that a reasonable tradeoff or should I make room for both by trimming a Chip holding like Micron? I am not selling NVDA!

Q: You have not fallen out of love with PFE. Neither had I , but my feelings for it have been getting very wobbly lately. I have had PFE for many years and still show a loss. Shares continue to decline, now at a faster rate it seems. Although several PFE drugs are going off patent , but I understand PFE has a good pipeline of promising new drugs. Is this why you love it so? Nevertheless, I would now admit defeat were it not for your very positive view of the company, which has encouraged my already biased positive regard. I am however now running out of excuses for holding on to this otherwise great company. I would therefore love to know what YOU regard are the catalysts for PFE going forward. Those catalysts seems to be things I have missed completely.

Q: What do you think of BIP's offer for IPL?

I note that the stock price of BIP is down about 20% since Dec 24. I also think that investors may be in part selling now to shy away from the fossil fuel industry. Yet the pipeline industry seems less impacted by the price of oil and the regulations barring new pipelines. Wouldn't this make the existing pipes more valuable.

So, does all this imply that this downdraft is a good buying opportunity for bip (which I already own a lot of)?

Q: A member reported difficulty purchasing OTC:VWDRY at TDW. I, too, have mostly given up on ordering over-the-phone. However, the member should be able to purchase VWDRY via WebBroker; indeed, when I enter the symbol in the order form textbox, WebBroker autocompletes the company name. The only obstacle is the omission of price data, but that's available at OTCMarkets (which, when I've asked, has been where TDW's phone brokers got their information, too.) Perhaps WebBroker added this symbol to its database only recently.

Q: Any idea how serious this chip shortage could get for F and GM and maybe some other companies? If it's a short term thing I'm thinking the market will look past it. Also are there any stocks that would benefit from the shortage? Thank you.

Q: Good morning,
Thanks for your great service.
Today my question revolves around AU (gold) royalties and return of inflation - once the economy opens up & we start spending «en masse» our accumulated savings -.
I have read that royalties might be better than AU companies as they do not have the same cap ex as AU companies and they employ less human resources. I am assuming that they also have less debt on the balance sheet .
Questions:
Whether you prefer AU royalties vs AU etf or specific AU companies o even PHYS ?
Which royalty would you prefer ?
Would a precious metal royalty be a judicious addition to a portfolio ? Such as MMX, ALS, LIF ?
I am well diversified and have a substantial portfolio.
Deduct as many points as you see fit.
Best Regards,
Elaine
