Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am attracted to Lassonde's P/E of 12 and D/E of 0.4, but becoming concerned about Canadian companies with significant US exposure. Can you provide any insight or point me to articles that discuss the impact of Buy America policies on Canadian companies such as LAS.A (may sell juice to military bases or other federal programs), CVE (owns part of American refineries) or NFI (was expected to benefit from US funding of EV transit)? Thanks for any information you can provide. Use as many credits as you feel are required.

Q: I am looking to "trim the fat" from my TFSA, which currently holds 20 stocks: ATD, BCE, BMO, BNS, CCO, CM, ENB, FFH, PDYPF, INO.UN, LAS, NXE, NWC, NA, NTR, PEY, PZA, MJJ, TRP, WELL. Are there any positions that raise red flags with you? In addition, could you suggest 3 or 4 value picks suitable for a long-term hold (20 years plus)?
Thank you!

Q: Hi guys
I have held Lassonde for a long time and done very well, but the past year has not been kind to the stock price. And then there is this recent profit warning. I have not issue being patient if this is a blip but wonder whether this is the start of a trend with trade issues and people turning away from fruit juices. Your thoughts on this profit warning and this company going forward. By the way thank you so very much for bringing CSU to my attention as it has gone up exponentially since your recommendation many years ago. I harvested a bit of my profits today to bring the holding back to 5%.
Thanks
Stuart

Q: I know these are different sectors and market caps, regardless of portfolio specifics which would you guys consider being the better choice for a long term holding with a brief reason why.
Thanks guys

Q: Questions:
(1) How would you rate Lassonde's earnings report? Is it a company worth holding taking into account their eps growth and debt profile?

(2) Do you see any red flags for the longer term regarding TSGI's eps growth. I'm surprised the market has such a negative view of the lowered eps guidance if most of it was a result of the higher share count. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thanks.

John

Q: Good day...I have looked at all of your responses to LAS.A...my question is with its higher debt, thin trading and growing dividend would this company make your high expectations from a company you would hold in a portfolio...at this time I have all of your balanced and an equal amount of income portfolio stocks and have been very thankful that I found your service...this stock is one that I am looking at to replace ECI in my portfolio...again thanks for a great gain...I look forward to your comments...Gene

Q: Hi there,

I haven't seen any coverage of this until something on a popular investment site the other day. LAS.A has gone from $80 to $256 in 5 years but seems to be completely unknown. It was just touted as a great growth stock for the next year. Does it offer value at $250/share? Any catalysts for growth to continue? Finally, Buy, sell or hold and why?

Thanks!

Q: Howdy! The Kiki Delaney chapter in "Market Masters" has inspired me to invest more in Quebec-based equities. I already have BCE, CAE, CNR & GUD. Please rank the top 3 in this list (or other Quebec-based equities that I didn't list) to add right now purely on long-term (3-5 yrs) appreciation (value + dividends).
Thank you,
David L
