Q: We currently have 100 shares of Visa and believe the cc space is a strong area to invest in with the cashless trend in business, while we feel Visa and Mastercard are the dominant players we personally use our Amex card extensively and would like your opinion of adding axp to our portfolio or should we add to Visa.

Q: Can you assess the risk reward of buying these 2 cruise line stocks here - or would you advise waiting. NCL looks to cheaper; but has no dividend.

CCL has a 4.5% dividend ... (likely to be secure?) ..... which could justify be payed to wait for the eventual increase in share price.

Thank you for your help.

Q: Good Afternoon,

I’m typically a contrarian stock buyer. With the stock market at record levels right now, would you suggest wait for a pullback or do you have any stocks that I should consider buying? Thank you.

Q: Can you help me understand why SHOP went vertical (looking at the minute to minute pattern on the RBC website) Wednesday literally in a heart beat? Is the observation correct in terms of the 7-8% pop happened instantly? If correct how does this happen? Is this programmed trading? Would any regular folks have been able to buy it along the way up or did it just pop without any pauses along the way up?

Thanks again.

Q: Paypal looks to be making some very strategic moves from getting access to the Chinese Market, worldwide partnership with Unionpay and a strategic investment in Mercadolibre. I have not really felt a need to add them as a holding but with these moves they are shaping up to be a play on international markets such as LATAM and China without owing companies solely focused on those markets. How does it looking for a long term hold alongside MasterCard, Visa and Square. I like the payment space.

Q: Annaly seems to have produced some good results, based on market reaction, but I have difficulty understanding their financial statements. For me it's rather like peering through mud.
I've owned varying amounts of NLY for over 10 years and have recovered most of my capital as well as continuing to receive a fairly high yield.
Are you able to shine some light on it or would you need a team of accountants?

Q: I saw that Citigroup downgraded NTR to neutral from buy. Can you go over their report? They seem to now have a 12 month target of $47 down from $61 (please confirm that this target is in US $ and not Cdn $) Seems like NTR went down on Friday 14th due to this? What is your current view on NTR?

Q: Peter & Co.,
I am reviewing Vermilion’s operation, financials and dividend in light of the Coronavirus. The virus is still largely an unknown factor in world health and economics. However, the impact on travel and commerce is certainly being felt. Among my concerns is the short/long term impact on energy consumption. Vermilion has 60% of its production in North America and 35% in Europe. Is there any way to evaluate what impact we can might expect on VET over the longer term?
With appreciation, Ed

Q: I just become member today and trying to familiarize with your contents on website.
What portfolio should I consider for TFSA and for my RRSP. I really like your BE portfolio but there are total 25 holdings. Leaving aside portfolio consideration, what would be your opinion/suggestion for me to buy in BE today for my TFSA. If you could suggest at least 7 to 10 holdings as I have all my TFSA contribution in cash (all of my 67 K so far) in Investment account.
