Investment Q&A

Q: AMZN is down significatly today. Is there any news to explain the drop. Would you buy it at today's price

Q: Wanting to top up my GSY holding. Do you believe tax loss selling will drive the price lower as we reach the end of the year? (I feel I may have missed the boat as its gone up 10% in the last couple of weeks.) Thanks.

Q: Which stocks do you recomend for the defence sector?

Q: I have significant losses in these companies. I don't need tax losses.

Should I average down on these companies or is there any of these companies that I should sell and move on?

Q: Can I get your opinion on Edward Sciences. I have done well with all of my health stocks except this one (down by about 42%).

Q: Any news to excite me about Good Foods symbol FOOD

Q: In your reply to Shane you said "we think an investor who chooses the right stocks, and can do nothing for three years, is going to see some very hefty returns when this thing turns"; please elaborate and give me a few names. Thanks.

Q: With their stellar 3rd quarter report, does this soften your negativity towards this company? Or is it still one of your most unfavourite stocks?

Q: I noticed in a recent answer, you suggested SE as a current buy recommendation. I’m down over 75% on this one but have been wondering about adding to my position. Are there particular growth drivers that you foresee for it, over a longterm (years) hold? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i, looking for help taming the RIETs part of my portfolio as i own all of the above. Can you help me with selling some REITs (anything I've doubled up on or is not the best choice). I am planning on redistributing the funds to the remaining REITs. As usual your help is appreciated, if you could rank them also that would be great.

Q: The Q3 results seemed fine, and guidance is positive so why did CJ get hit so hard today (down 12 per cent). Other oil names were down as well but nothing was down as sharply as CJ. Is there something that I missed? I like the 6 cent per month divvy and now that the debt has been dramatically reduced I feel CJ can continue to pay the divvy even if WTI drops down to the $70 ish range. Is there something here not to like than a recession pulling down demand for oil and subsequently price per barrel?

Q: Parex is starting to look so tempting that I am considering it again despite an anti-oil government now in charge in Columbia. The dollar a year dividend now yields well over 5 per cent and I estimate that at least 20 per cent of PXT's market cap is covered by net cash on the balance sheet. I sold out of PXT in the high $20's before the Columbian elections but I promised to revisit is it went sub$20. It is now below hence the revisit. If the Petro government were to get really radical and decide to nationalize the foreign oil and gas (and mining for that matter) companies what kind of compensation might be paid (I am sure had some experience with that back in your Sprott days!!) I recall The Harper government getting a free trade deal between Canada and Columbia. Does a deal like that make nationalization much more difficult? I wouldn't waste your time on PXT but at sub $19 it is really tempting!!!

Q: Hello Team,

With Nickel +$10 and oil and fertilizer up (and knowing the problems with getting paid from Cuba) and EVs, which will need "infinite" amounts of Nickel, would you invest in Sherritt at this time for a 10yr time horizon?

Thank you,

Joseph

Q: A follow up on y PXT question. On the stockhouse bullboard someone posted that the Gustav Petro (sounds more like a Russian that a Latino) government announced a new 10 per cent tax on 'exports' of Columbian crude. Is the oil that PXT extracts in Columbia used domestically or does it go for export? Or am I spitting hairs on the definition of the word export? Also the same post said that royality payments would no longer be tax deductible which is a drag on post tax profit but it can't be that big of a hit?

Q: Given the current market, what are some S&P 500 Index Funds you see looking at long term growth and opportunities for 5-10+ years?

Q: Hi there,

The results today out of Pet Value looked good. Can you please comment on the results and if you would rate this company as a buy or sell. If a buy, how bullish would you be on the company and how would it compare to something like an ATD or DOL?

Thanks!

Q: Hello

Can you comment on Affirm quarterly earnings when they come out later today I believe?

Also could you tell me if there are any estimates out there regarding Affirms 'cash burn' and them needing to raise capital in the near future?

Thank you very much

Stephane

Q: Good morning team, thoughts on the quarter for Innergex.
Thanks
Rob

Q: You recommended this when it was $50+ . . Any updated thoughts?

Q: For exposure to expected growth in demand for nuclear power globally, would exposure to the etf for physical uranium be the smarter play, or best to go with a leading uranium producer such as Cameco? Or, other suggestion welcome.

Thank you
