Investment Q&A

Q: Please rank in terms of growth and risk over the next 1-3 years

Q: Hi Team,
Two-part question... What is your take on the news today of Propel launching an insurance product? Do you have any further details on this, and do you feel it will be a lucrative addition to the business with growth potential? Also, EQB today had news of a 300 million deposit note...is this a significant event for the company?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: With the goal of adding good quality growth stocks and using your suggestions ( thank you ), some time back I added BN and GSY to my cash account which is full of telecom, pipes, banks and utilities. I am now looking at these four with my thoughts on them : EQB, Stephen Smith is the main reason I am liking this company . I am overweight banks already- should this factor into the equation ?
CALF, the small cap sector should be getting interesting if rates decline and I could use more US exposure. TFII, management can’t be beat but the industry is suffering ( good or bad for TFII? ),
best to wait and see how industry shakes out?
XIT, ( have 10% portfolio exposure with a US tech ETF ) has significant CSU exposure.

Is my thinking clear? Any single addition would be approximately 3% portfolio weighting. In what order would you buy ? Am looking at buying 2 immediately. Any you wouldn’t buy ?
Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hello Team,

The Canadian banking sector has been fairly muted for a while now, notwithstanding higher rates which have been beneficial in boosting interest income. And, soon, rates are expected to decrease. Is that going to hurt their earnings or help due to an overall smaller delinquency in loan repayments? If it will help, from a choice of buying and holding some of the smaller Canadian on-line only banks or the traditional ones, say for the next five years, which would you recommend?

Q: WELL has required a lot of patience. I know you still like it, but is there another smallish cap you would select over it? I own TSU, LMN, SIS, and SYZ.

Q: Where would you rank Berkshire in the above stocks today? Seems fairly cheap according to price targets.
Thank you

dividend is safe? thanks

Q: I am considering adding one of the following to my TFSA. Which do you believe has the best long term prospects?

Q: Your comments please on their quarterly results and outlook moving forward. Thanks.

Q: I was just looking at VBNK. The company's performance data looks extremely compelling, And also company insider buying is extensive ; more than what I ever recall seeing on any of the companies I follow. Could you please provide me with an analysis of the investment merits of the company. Also could you compare this company for potential purchase with EQB. What would be your preference, or would a position in both be advisable? Thanks.

Q: These stocks have had some very nice gains over the last few months. CLS, DE, DRX, EQB, LMN, PAY, TOI, TVK. If you held a partial position in these and wanted to add to the position to create a full position, which ones would you just buy at the current market price despite big run up? Are there some that you would try to buy at a somewhat lower price? If so, what price would you use?

Q: I currently have HCAL in a growth orientated TFSA and I don't think this is a good fit.
Currently, I hold Goog, SHOP, LMN & CLS. Do have a few ideas for a stock that could replace the HCAL ETF?

Q: I agree the quarter looked fine on the surface with most numbers up but I think the change in yearend but what's being compared is a 4 month final quarter and 10 month year. Also net impaired loans are ramping up big time.

Could this be what is spooking trading in the stock today? Perhaps you could take a closer look at the numbers.

Q: Down over 10% on 6 times average volume. Quarterly report was good. Any idea what is going on here? Thank you

Q: Hi. Follow-up on your previous EQB good results quarter question. Being a rookie investor I just don’t understand after such a good quarterly report why the stock went on sale down $9.99 at one time today. Can you explain in plain layman’s term why or at least give a guess why such a big drop? If this report would have been horrible does that mean the price would have jumped? Just when I thought I knew how the game worked this change has added some confusion to my thought process. Thanks again for all that you’se guys do for us amateurs. Ken. :-)

Q: Comments please. Why the big drop in price, profit taking? The earnings report looked positive or is there something I'm missing. Can you provide an outlook on future growth? Should one continue to hold or move elsewhere, and if move on, what suggestions would you have.
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter Looking for more growth in a LIF account. Which of EQB, BN or IFC would you choose to replace BNS? Please rank in order . Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Can you give a brief lowdown of EQB please. What is the bullish story with them? Strengths, risks etc. Do you see more upside in them compared to the traditional big banks? Also; looking back at a 10 yr chart on eqb they seemed to have struggled in the past to maintain any sort of uptrend. I see they had a big run up in 2019 and 2021 but only to have a drastic crash back down again. What caused the last crash in 2021 from the mid 150's to 75 range? And is this issue resolved? Is this a comeback story? I don't really know the history of the bank. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Would you buy EQB or FOUR right now? Or no preference?

Q: Have held KXS for several years.. I’m wanting to replace it with better growth…already hold CSU, TOI, LMN, SHOP, DSG, GSY, WSP…
