Q: Can you suggest some US and Canadian high-quality value stocks with attractive valuations and, finally, that meet the "mundane" test. Heard a commentator discuss this recently. I think the idea is that if a high quality business is flashy, etc, its valuation would reflect that (say Coke or Berkshire Hathaway?). Other "mundane" companies would not (yet) have that prominence premium.
I'm not sure if this is the same as "deep value". Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
Q: I hold ATA and TFII and I am considering adding either GFL or CJT for industrial exposure in a TFSA account. What would be your choice if either.
Thanks

Q: In your Coverage Summary for Aug 2022, would you please explain the meanings of the columns. Such as for A&W the start price is 21.63, Recent Closing Price is 34.49, yet the Monthly Return is negative. Also what does P&L (2022) & P&L (Total) represent. Thanks … Cal
Q: my question about 5 top growth companies were for Canadian companies. can you provide 5 names and explain why each is good and why it makes the list
Q: Can you please provide your opinion on the subject company. With a dividend in the 7% range, it does seem attractive. But if the company was that good, it likely would be in your income portfolio.
Q: In the next two quarters, earnings will likely deteriorate in both the US and Canada as the effects of the fastest rate hikes in history start to apply. If these earnings seasons are ugly, will the market decline further? Or is the positioning of the fed (potentially pivoting/easing/stopping rate rises) more important than this?
I am sitting on about 35% cash currently that I accumulated in mid August before the indexes rolled over (SPX ~4200). Obviously no one knows where the bottom is, but if you had to make an educated guess, where do you think the SPX will bottom out and when? What strategic would you use to deploy cash? Would you DCA over a couple tranches?
Q: PXT is supposed to have declared a dividend on 9/14 payable on 9/30. Do you know if they actually paid that on 9/30? I only ask since I have not seen that in my bank account as of today 10/03. Thanks.
Q: If I am selling this loosing stock in my RIF Account for the purpose of generating cash for my mandatory withdrawal - can I immediately start a smaller weight in my cash account trusting that there will be upside in the future. I assume there are no tax consequences since it was in a registered account.
Q: With tax selling season coming though a lot of selling have already happened. This also coincides with the FED's next Interest rate change, November seems gathering a lot of dark clouds. It just feels that the rest of the year is wasted and preventing a Santa Claus rally not much will happen from now to the end of the year.
What do you think? How do you see the rest of the year unfolding?
Thanks for your precious advise in these dangerous times.
Q: Hi team,
I have been a long term holder of ADW and overall with dividend and trimming at prior highs will come out just above par with this holding, which is not desired for multi year, but a nice learning experience for me.
I am thinking of selling and splitting between tc energy, sun life and alphabet. The first two for greater yield play, and all three on the belief that on positive macro news all will perform better relative to ADW (small cap, debt level, your B rating, consumer lag on discretionary).
Q: I understand that the prairie farmers are having a good year with above average crop yields. This should be positive for the railways if they have sufficient capacity; particularly CP. On the other hand, if we are heading into a recession, they could suffer. Given the recent pullback what is your outlook for the railways for the short to medium term.
Thanks for your insight.
