Q: Hi Peter, looking for a suggestion of where to park $400k (from a house sale) for the next 1 year. Besides GICs and Cash ETFs is there a slightly higher risk play you would consider at this time if it was your own money ? Thank you, Paul

Q: Dear 5i
If a stock is considered to be say 30% above what an analyst considers to be its fair market value but at the same time has an estimated earnings growth rate for the next year of 30-40%, would you consider this stock to be investible ? Assume good fundamentals . I would liken this scenario to a stock having a high P/E ratio ie expensive but has strong earnings growth forecast . Is that how you would see it as well ?
Also are there any Canadian crypto exchanges that you would recommend or would you suggest staying with an American exchange ?
Thanks
Bill C

Q: With Bank of Canada cutting interest rates and oil up, why would pipelines be lower? Shouldn't this also be good for telcos/pipelines/reits or are institutions positioning themselves in cyclicals for new a economic cycle so these rate dependent areas areas are under pressure.

Q: Peter et al:
An opinion please on this one with the following points in mind. We all know the sector has lagged, but CVE has a lot of people putting it in the enigma pew. Quality inventory, 71% heavy, diversified with three refineries, fair dividend, BS ok and yet it goes no where. Sentiment is definitely against these guys. G&M article Dec 3, Brian Donovan " The intrinsic value of Canadian oil stocks and what Trump's proposed tariff would mean for them", ends by picking CVE as the one their models show upside for . Eric Nuttall on Nov 21 said that it was one of his worst calls in 2024 picking this instead of Suncor. I await your detailed reply, and I thank you by not asking questions with 30 companies like some. I do my own ground work.
All the best,
Ben.
