Investment Q&A

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

Q: We have a well-diversified portfolio with 40+ securities (11 small/mid caps presently under 1% of portfolio). Is Nvidia a corporation YOU would let run up to 6-7% of your protfolio?

Thanks to your good advice we have many excellent stocks with the only clinkers due to my own buying exuberance or holding securities too long.

Q: My understanding is that if an agreement isn't reached before early June (?) regarding raising the U.S. debt ceiling then there could be significant global economic fallout... leading to unemployment, interest raise hikes, and of course, large market selloffs.

How much weight/attention are you guys putting on this situation? Is this leading to a significant buying opportunity? Is it wise to increase cash position until this plays out?

Q: I usually look at EPS, company debt, payout ratio and their # of common stocks while reviewing a company financials.
How would you justify Telus's 135% payout ratio ?
Company earned 1.22 (2021) and 1.15 (2022) and paid dividend of 1.27 (2021) and 1.36 (2022)
Long term debt is increasing and they have almost doubled their common stocks in last few years. All leads me to believe there may not be much growth in terms of the stock price in next 2-3 years.
Their cash flow doesn't looks sufficient to cover their dividend unless I am missing something here.
Thank you for your guidance.

Q: In March of 2022, you were asked about NovaGold (NG) and wrote: “…we do not like these 'binary' scenarios. Without full permitting, there is no mine, and no potential.” In March of 2023, you recommended it along with a few other juniors. Could you please share your updated thoughts about this company? Thanks.

Q: Teck is starting to drift downwards again, including a big drop today. Don’t see any news. Any reason you can see for the drifting down? Just fading confidence that an acquisition is going to happen? Seemed like there may be new/different offers on the acquisition the horizon a few weeks ago, has that changed? Would you recommend holding on in anticipation of acquisition offers coming in again? Not in a rush to sell, but don’t want to hold on if pricing is going to continue to move down to pre-acquisition offer levels.
