Investment Q&A

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

Q: With the increase in price of KXS,DSG, SHOP, REAL and LSPD I now have a total of 23% of my portfolio in these shares. I have taken profits and reduced my position each of them. The only concerns I have going forward is with KXS and DSG. Ross Healy on BNN did not have a very Rosie picture for KXS. I know that different views is what makes a market. You continue to be much more positive on KXS and continue to recommend it. DSG andKXS are somewhat similar. I respect your opinion, would you recommend selling either one? If so which? I view many of these guest as having a person interest in recommendations. I always take them with a grain of salt. I have seen this in my previous life while working for a major investment firm.

Q: This question is about MTRX or Loop Insights on the TSXV. It doesn't seem to be in your system when I entered the ticker.

Loop Insights is getting a lot of chatter amongst the self-directed crowd on Reddit and the stock price is rocketing up accordingly.

Is this company legitimate? Is there great potential here? Or is the stock price a pump?

Cam.

Q: Hello Peter,
Can you comment on curaleaf's earnings? This company has been doing well but it looks like the market did not like its current earnings yet the company is growing nicely. Also, why would a company remove the current CEO that has done quite well for the company? Any reason for the other three stocks: jwel well, and doc to be taking a hit. Is this just short term sector rotation due to the vaccine announcement and if so, is it better just to hold these for longer timeframe? Thanks very much.

Q: Hello Folks:
As the Covid situation has hastened the move to online shopping, some brick and mortar stores are going to have a much brighter future than others. Businesses such as Walmart and Best Buy appear to be having more success than others. I would appreciate your suggestions on choosing companies which have the brightest future integrating these two systems.
Thank you again for your great service!

Q: I have owned AYX for a year - its been an exciting ride with the stock peaking 66% higher than its current price (I did not sell) I find myself back to where I started. In your view, how much of this volatility is due to management erring on the side of conservative guidance and thus tempering market enthusiasm and how much is a reevaluation by the street that perhaps there are better growth opportunities out there. Since it is part of my US High Growth portfolio, I am perfectly fine with the volatility if it is still on track. My question is, if this were in your US High Growth portfolio would you be keeping it or replacing it with a higher conviction name. If your answer is to replace it, what would be your top 2 names.

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: I have been holding BIIB for a couple of years on hopes (I know, that is not an investment strategy) that their alzheimer drug would be approved. It has come close a few times and the stock has reacted very favourably only to fall short of approval and fall back in price. Do you believe that the recent setback will make BIIB dead money for the foreseeable future and its best to move on or is it too cheap and compelling a story to sell now? If BIIB was part of your US Growth portfolio would you keep it or sell in favour of a better growth stock. If your decision would be to sell, what would be the top 2 names for replacement with no regard to sector.

Thanks
Scott

Q: Hi, what do you think about investing in gold or gold companies during normal times with a growing economy? Does gold companies always perform poorly in "normal" conditions or they can outperform? For example do you think it is still ok to invest in gold companies or with the vaccine and a recovery start in 2021 these companies tends to underperform? If you think it is ok, which companies do you recommend for growth, like top 5?

Q: You have just won $100,000. The catch is that you have to invest it in 10 stocks right now, split evenly, and can't touch them for 10 years. You must buy only Canadian stocks. Any dividends will be invested in more shares of the issuing company. You can cash out after 10 years. What do you buy?
