Investment Q&A

Q: If you had to buy one materials stock right now, what would you buy? Canadian or US. I already have MAG:CA.
Thanks

Q: With the recent news release and new highs, is Kracken a buy and hold for a possible takeover by a large defense contractor

Q: My two main holdings are QQQ and VIG in the US and ZQQ and VFV and ZQQ in Canada. I'm looking for two medium risk etfs that will balance these with CD, OIL, Financials, health, and industrials . I'd like reasonable growth expected in the next few years but with a manageable lower risk beta?
1) Can you suggest 2 CDN ETFS
2) Can you suggest 2 US ETFS
3) Can you suggest 2-3 emerging markets ETFS

PS can you also explain why TDOC seems to have a beta of .15??? Considering its growth, that seems impossible?

Q: what is your opinion about this company?

Q: Can I have your opinion of Hormal Foods, Johnson and Johnson, and Pepsi. Are they a buy right now.
Thanks for your opinion.

Q: I am considering adding Power Corp to the income portion of my portfolio as a partial replacement for my overweight position in BCE.  The primary reason for considering POW is that I feel that there may be significant value through their ownership of Wealthsimple.  Are you able to quantify the Wealthsimple value within POW given their rapid growth rate and more than $9 billion in AUM?   Do you think that they are sitting on other spinoff possibilities, similar to the Lion Electric IPO? (that I understand added close to $3.00 per share value to POW).  And perhaps most importantly, do you feel that management is motivated to act to surface value for shareholders?  (they don't appear to have been in the past).
Thank you.

Q: I'm wondering what you think about this stock and it's performance for the nest 1 - 2 years.

Q: Can I please have your thoughts and analysis on this companies recently announced earnings. Your input would be appreciated. Thank You.

Q: Any reasons for the fall in stock price today and over the last week?

Q: What is your opinion on this TTAC and the quant. model used by this etf. Has it out performed other similar etf's. Thanks for your analysis.

Q: Besides the above company is there any other plays for EV or autonomous driving?

Perhaps charging components, chips, cameras or something else?

I'm open to US or Canadian company's. I have a long term out look and high risk tolerance.

Thank you.

Q: Hello again your thoughts on FLGT

Q: Hi Peter and team, Just thought I would ask about the ethical aspects of this so called hostile take-over? In my mind BIPC only with the support of BAM.a and BUFFALO AQUISITION CORP. aka BIF IV (looks like a shell company to me that) are trying to BULLY in here on long suffering shareholders of IPL. Let me try to put this in perspective, IPL has spent nearly four years and nearly four billion dollars engineering, designing, procuring, and constructing and world scale propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and polypropylene (PP) facility, all to the boohoos of the so-called "investment community". The projected increase to IPL's EBITDA is estimated to increase by $400million to $500 million (a double), not including the recent increase in PP prices. Do you think IPL could get one good word out of anyone? Nope, they all stayed clear, even after IPL raised $700 million with the sale of 50% their Europe storage assets. Now IPL is self funding the project thru to it's completion (which significantly de-risks the project from a monetary point of view. Last CC management shared they are ramping up for testing and commissioning which looks like PDH should be up and chugging along by summer. I've been working in the energy industry for 42 years and can share, that a typical approach is to use IP, from patented chemical processes and copyrighted proprietary equipment that is proven. This isn't rocket science. What recourse do shareholders have considering BIPC aka BIF IV have acted unethically by acquiring an additional 10% of IPL without disclosing this to anyone? Who are the responsible authorities that should be looking into this? I would like to thank BIP for acknowledging the new facility has a great business plan as well as PPL ,as they have an almost exact replica (delayed by COVID19) planned in next year.

Q: What do you think would be the best option strategy to play bit coins potential increase in value.?

Q: Hi Peter, further to my previous question, Please advise what you have (and your source) for the short positions for the above equities. I have:
BAM.A=1.32%
BIP.UN=0.62%
BIPC=1.56%
IPL=0.00%
PPL=0.84%

Thanks

Q: If you had the choice between these 2 companies over a 2 year period which one do you think would perform better. Thanks.

Q: This company appears to be doing well (recent results and dividend increase) and the stock has climbed significantly in the last number of months. It makes up about 4% of my overall portfolio (which is significantly overweight in technology). Would this continue to be a strong candidate for accumulation in its sector or would you prefer others?

Q: Hi, I purchased EIX end of March 2020 for its div and for some stock price upside. My research at the time showed it to be a solid company with decent dividend and earnings growth. Aside from its nice dividend the stock price has languished for the year and div growth not great but analyst seem to forecast price still in the 80.00 range. I noticed you had 1 Question about it awhile ago and you seemed to like it. Can you give me your analysis please?

Q: Looking for a transportation play. These are the 3 that come to mind. 1) Am I too late to get in for economy opening play 2) which would be highest growth potential 3) is there a disruptor or smaller more leveraged play that you can suggest.

Q: Hi Team,
After the pullback over the last 2 days (today especially), would this be a good time to add to this company? Or do you see further weakness here? If so, what price would you target to buy in, if at all? I know there's lots of hype about the possibility of Score moving to the nasdaq. Do you believe the growth potential is here as hyped up to be? Do you consider the management solid? Thanks for your input.
