Investment Q&A

Q: Hello and thanks for a great service. I'm in a high tax bracket and have never utilized Flow Through's. What do you think of them and how would you do your due diligence on them?

Q: I don't know who else to ask on this one. I trade on both TD Waterhouse and NBDC. On occasion, I find them giving quite different stock readouts. For example, right now, it's 12:52PM on Jan 19. NBDB is showing VXM at 49.80 -08% with a bid/ask of 48.77-50.92. TD is showing it at 50.79 +1.84% with a bid ask of 50.25-50.92. How can they have such widely different quotes?

I realize NBDB doesn't show live quote on its main page, but it does when you bring up the buy/sell pop-up. So these quotes should be identical. But this is not the first time I've found such wide ranges.

Q: Do you like this company and if so would you purchase the Canadian or U.S. version?

Q: Hi there, I recently asked the questions below. Would it be possible to provide TSX equivalents to your recommended ETFs? Thanks!

Q: Utilities. They had a strong performance in 2025. I am hearing a number of investors beating the table for utilities again in 2026 especially utilities with a strong commitment to AI.

1. Do you agree with that thesis?

2. Which 3 utility stocks CAD or USD would you recommend buying now.
3. Is there an etf that has a major composition in AI oriented utilities?

Thank you.

Thx

Q: Interested in your take on this company and would you consider starting a position at this time advisable.

Q: Your last comments on this stock was Dec 10th2025. The stock has pretty much doubled since then What is your opinion today. Anything changing?

Q: Could I get an updated assessment on this company. Is it inexpensive relative to its historic PE's. Does expected growth make it an attractive buy at the current price?
Thank you.

Q: This is a followup to your answer (thank you) regarding how to made a determination of which 'favourite' stocks to remove when one has too many .
Could you give me a few of what you think would be the most important ratios, or other factors to consider when assessing a balance sheet/valuation. I would be interested in those that would apply to most sectors, although if there are any that are unique to Industrial, Tech, Financial that would be helpful as well.
Just an add on question regarding P/E ratio. I noticed from a previous question I had regarding an answer you have to another member. You quoted a P/E ratio of 14 for TD based on consensus earnings estimates from Bloomberg. When I look at the drop down fundamental info on either my TD Webroker platform or 5i's dropdown info on any equity that is listed in the heading of a question, I see in both cases P/E being quoted at 11.15 for TD. How does one know whether the P/E ratios being quoted are forward earnings (as your Bloomberg quote indicates) or not. I see TTM - twelve month trailing- occasionally noted for certain ratios, eg. Price/Cash Flow but that doesn't seem to be the case for P/E in the TD/5i platforms ?
You may have done a blog or article that would cover my questions - but if not, perhaps it would be helpful to some other members?

Q: Hi,
I am interested in starting positions in CLS, ZDC and GRID. Do you think their current prices are a good entry point? And for CLS, I see they are expected to report earnings at the end of the month. Would it be wise to wait for that?
Thanks

Q: Sorry for yet another CSU question! As a long-term holder of CSU, we've made a hefty profit….not as much as it was, but still hefty.

Having said that, I need to rebalance our portfolio, which I can easily accomplish by selling some, not all, CSU.

Is portfolio rebalancing justification in this scenario?

Thanks in advance for your valuable insight.

Q: My daughter is starting a TFSA and as a full time student she doesn't have a lot of time. I have suggested a couch potato based strategy with rebalancing. I believe there are now ETF's that incorporate the whole strategy and the rebalancing and I am wondering if you have a few options to suggest with Canadian equity, international equity and a smaller bond component. Also if she wanted a buy once and hold forever type stock, what might be a few stocks to look at?

Hopefully this question goes through - I wrote up a similar one and even though it said success after submission the credits have not reduced and I don't see anything. I think this may have happened twice.

Q: what is your opinion given the recent sell off due to the founder leaving. Does the company have the people to lead it back to positive territory?

Q: I have been waiting for a bounce to sell Adobe but like CSU its gone into free fall. I am also thinking of adding to CSU Would you wait for a bounce and sell Adobe? Or sell Adobe now and switch into CSU? Or sell Adobe now and wait in cash. I know market timing is tricky but if you were in my shoes what is would you do?

Q: Negative outlook from TD today
Is your view still constructive?
Thanks
