Investment Q&A

Q: This is my big loser, other losers aren't nearly as bad. Nio has dropped about 80% from when I bought it -- at the peak.
I can hold on without any problem.
But does this stock still have a good potential upside?

Q: Can you give your thoughts on Dream vs. Granite today? Which would you choose for a long term hold?

Q: hey guys just wondering what your evaluation would be of this company a good buy in current conditions or not thanks as always

Q: Hi Peter,
I don't have any positions in the Health Care sector. Please provide a few suggestions, either stocks and/or ETFs, for both Canada and USA. I would like the Buy and Hold for say 5 years or more strategy.
Many thanks,
Roger

Q: I have Trane but see recently, you've had positive remarks about Carrier. That together with the 25% withholding tax on the dividend due to Trane being European based makes me wonder if I should change to Carrier for the next few years?

Q: I currently have holdings in the above-noted companies inside my TFSA and am intending to add to one or more of the positions. I understand that they are very different entities, but how you would rank them in terms of general quality and upside? Thank You

Q: Hi 5i
I think Peter has been around long enough to remember December 1999 when TRP cut its dividend from 1.20 to .80 and the stock tanked to under $10. More recently ALA made a deal to buy WGL and issued shares at $31 ( I think Caisse depot or other big guys were in for $400 million). ALA went down to around $11 and recoverd to over $28 recently. So my question is: do you see any similarities to TRP or ALA turnarounds to think that AQN ($9.50) could follow a similar chart?
Thanks, Greg

Q: SL GREEN, despite its recent dividend cut, seems a decent choice. Would you suggest buying REITs at this time and, if so, which ones? I am a retiree seeking inflation-resistant income.

Q: These very large Cies appear promising to me for longer term : wich could resist better in case of a recession ?

Q: When it comes to the new BAM and BN, what risk weighting out of 10 would you assign to each of them???......where 10 would be low risk and 1 would be very high risk?......Thanks for your take as this will assist me in determining my weighting of money in each of BAM and BN stock postions........Tom

Q: Everywhere you look, GIC investing is the big topic of conversation and advice. If an investor wants to outperform the market, then you never buy into the hot investment themes. I see no reason why that rule should be broken now.

Q: On December 10, 2022 the value of my BAM.A shares was $71,000. On December 17, 2022 the market value of BAM was $11,173.00 and the market value of BN was $53,546 for a total of $64,719, a loss of approximately 9%. Did the value of Brookfield actually drop 9% in one week? If you have an explanation it would be appreciated. Thank You.

Q: The US authorities disapproved the Kentucky deal. Wasn’t it a good thing for the company stock given that the market hadn’t liked it in the first place? However, the stock is down today. Can you explain the reaction?

Thanks,

Q: Hi Guys,

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
MND up 17% today...pleasant surprise. Please give me your opinion as to why. Thank you for your consistent insights which are always helpful.

Q: Hi, I’m looking at the current 13% dividend for PKI. What is the likelihood of a cut? Their longer term guidance sounds optimistic in this environment. You mentioned M&A in your reply to Gregory. Have you any potential candidates in mind who would be interested? ATD is obvious but would the government approve? Anyone else? Thanks! Heather

Q: Management continues to rationalize operations and cut costs. A potentially painful share consolidation of 1 for 14 so the company can retain its NASDAQ listing. Is there any value here with the most recent collapse, in a very long series of collapses, of the stock price? Or is this just a bad trip ...

Q: Hello
If I sell PHYS and my husband sells GLDM would AEM and PSLV be considered to close to PHYS and GLDM by CRA for tax loss harvesting?
