Q: Hello,

I am thinking of picking up Magna now that its fallen sharply, but there are a few points that are making me second guess buying now.
Wondering if you can shed some light on the following:

1) Given that Magna's profit margin is pretty small, how much of an issue would rising input costs (ie labour and raw materials) be for them?

2) Do you know if any of their facilities are unionized?

3) With rising inflation and interest rates - do you think new car demand will decrease significantly (in the near term)

thank you,
Brad

Q: My portfolio is moving in a V direction quickly. Growth on the decline and O&G, materials and gold moving up. I'm still comfortable holding the growth names I own. With the "let your winners run" theme in mind, I will need to rebalance soon which seems to be an impossible task in the current environment. Any advice? My train of thought is to wait till things settle in and then make a decision.

Q: I have about 2% of my portfolio in PPL but that is my only energy stock. Should I buy more PPL or can you suggest 5 Canadian companies that would be good choices to give me better diversification ? I do realize this area is cyclical & could drop dramatically at any moment.
Thanks

Q: August 2020 Gold hit $2034 / ounce. Agnico Eagle traded at $110.

Today Gold hits $2014 and Agnico Eagle is trading around $75.

Fundamentally, is the company stronger or weaker when comparing these two prices in time. Or is the disconnect in price more just market sentiment about gold vs crypto etc? I loved Kirkland Lake so the merger should be viewed as a positive.

Q: We had requested a transfer form one TDW Ac to another on Feb26. On enquiry on March 8 we were advised that the funds were not transfered as TD trust did not put correct stamp on the transfer form sent to TDW.

They stated that they do not have the resources to contact the client and that it is the client's responsibility to follow up on all transactions.

We had similar delays on two other occasions when the transfer took nearly two months.

This is being forwarded as important information to your subscribers so that they do not face similar delays.

Publish as per your discretion.

Thanks

Q: Already hold TECK.B and looking to add another Cdn base metals company. Considering FM, LUN and ERO. FM seems to be trading at roughly double the multiple of earnings and EBITDA compared to LUN, ERO and TECK.B. Two questions.

(1) Why does FM trade at such a high multiple compared to the others?

(2) Please rank FM, LUN and ERO on a scale of 1-10 for a desirable add to a diversified portfolio that is a low on base metals exposure.
