Investment Q&A

Q: T taking a page out of Brookfield book. A big of a risk is it to WELL if T healthcare business is spun off. An IPO ? ?

Q: I'm looking to reduce my portfolio weighting in Financials and Telecommunications.

The question for both adjustments is the same: for these stocks would you recommend eliminating one entirely or just reducing my holdings in both? I will be adding more exposure in the US industrial and defensive consumer sectors with the freed up cash. I should add that for all of these stocks I'm probably pushing my weighting a bit high, at 5-7%.

For financials: BMO and RY (assuming I would sell BMO over RY)
For telecom: T and BCE (assume I would sell BCE over T)

All of these are held in registered accounts, and I'm still 10+ years out from retirement. I currently hold 24 stocks across my registered accounts.

Q: I own Bam.a and interpipe still under water should I just sell now ? and move on..

Q: As of today (Feb 13th 2021), this company has a market cap of ~ $1.5 Billion. However, from what I can see (on SEDAR), it has not even come close to having a positive net income or cash flow since its existence. Am I (as an investor) missing something very obvious, of is this just another sign that there is a "bit of exuberance" in the current market ?

Q: Comments on the quarter? Thanks!

Q: I have an unregistered cdn div payer account, which has about 20% financial sector weighting. This is probably a little high for this account, but overall portfolio diversification including other accounts levels this out much better.

I'm happy to stay with 20% financial in this account, and this is currently achieved via equal weights of BNS, RY and SLF. In pursuit of higher yield, I am considering replacing RY (4%) with FSZ (7%) and looking for your comments on this idea.

Account objective is retirement income for next 10 to 20.

Thanks,

Jim

Q: Hello,
Your Feb. 9 blog about finding quality stocks had a lot of Gold companies on the list with low P/E's, low debt, and 3 yrs of positive growth in earnings.
For a TFSA that has no Gold exposure currently, which of these small-cap & mid-caps has really good momentum now and is well positioned for more growth in the coming 2-3 years? And which has a solid portfolio of mines in production now?
Thanks for your guidance.

Q: HI, I wish to add a US stock (large Cie) in my RRSP with those criteria:

Which one would suit better ?
Any other suggestion in this context ?
Many thanks JY

Q: My research drudged up this on Kaleyra, do you agree or have anything to add? Was thinking of starting a position.

A cloud computing company offering communications solutions. The company’s SaaS platform supports SMS, voice calls, and chatbots – a product with obvious applications and value in today’s office climate, with the strong push to telecommuting and remote work. Kaleyra boasts over 3,500 customers, who make 3 billion voice calls and sent 27 billion text messages in 2019 (the last year with full numbers available).
Over the past 6 months, KLR shares have shown tremendous growth, appreciating 155%. Kaleyra’s revenues have grown along with the share value. The company’s 3Q20 results hit $38.3 million, the best since KLR went public. While Kaleyra still runs a net earnings loss each quarter, the Q3 EPS was the lowest such loss in the past four quarters.
“Over the past few years, Kaleyra has posted double-digit revenue growth and positive adjusted EBITDA. We forecast revenue growth of 9%, 22%, and 28% for 2020-2022. We project adjusted EBITDA declines in 2020 to reflect public company costs and COVID-19, but growth at over twice the rate of revenue for the following two years. We expect benefits from operating leverage, low-cost tech employees, cost volume discounts as the company expands, and margin improvement from new offerings and geographies. Over the longer term, we believe the company can grow revenue close to 30% with even faster bottom line growth,” .
