Investment Q&A

Q: Fast forward 2 years from today, and assume a return to something that resembles normal.
Which stocks (US and CA) would you wish you bought today.

Q: New Relic has been performing pretty poorly, how does their balance sheet look? Could you see them dropping further?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

There are 8 stocks in my TFSA. REAL is 5% and LSPD also is 5% of the value of my TFSA. Which of the 2 stocks do you think I should buy more of?

A more broader question, is 8 stocks in a TFSA too many? Should I try to amalgamate to 5-6 stocks?

Thanks.

Q: Which would you consider the better buy at this time?

Q: Hi Peter, I'm just wondering about any new views since the 3rd of Sept comment. Would this also be a good play on the vaccine investments for 2021. Each person needs 2 doses - that's a lot of syringes and needles! Would Becton benefit or is there too many competition suppliers out there (market share?) and/or doesn't make too much towards its total annual profits? Thanks.

Q: Peter and Team:
Further to my previous question on specific preferreds. Under what circumstances might the price rise from 13.50 to let's say 20.00. When the supply of money tightens, and it will, companies in any specific sector will just issue new shares with a better format and that will further depress the old issues. They are under no obligation to increase the +plus amount or to redeem the shares.
perhaps they might decrease it. I am referring here to rate reset shares. They already have their $ 25.00. Just like when the banks came out with minimum resets. If a holder wants out they must sell on the market and move on. Then there is also equity risk when the market falls. Could be a big price to pay for a little extra interest. What about the people who paid $ 25.00 and they are now $ 12.00 or lower. It appears that is why you don't follow them very closely.
It seems to be a deck loaded in favour of the issuer. Please refute. Thanks for your help.
Ben.

Q: I usually see headlines such as these: J.P. Morgan Poaches $1.2 Billion Alex. Brown Advisor Team

I understand the advisors are moving over but does it mean their customers whose money they are investing/managing automatically move too or is the headline meant to show how much assets the team was managing? I never really understand these poaches but I see a lot of them happening in the US.

Thanks

Q: I would like your opinion on this little stock as it seems to be heading in the covid direction. Thx J

Q: Can I transfer cash from my CAD TFSA to my USD TFSA (same institution) without it being considered a withdrawal and new contribution? Thanks.

Q: Hello. Can I get your thoughts on some uranium names to play (excluding CCO), rare earth companies and precious metals (platinum, palladium etc)? A few comments plus names would be great. Deduct points as required. Stay safe.

Q: Am potentially interested in Mind CTI (MNDO), Appulse (APL), and Buhler Industries (BUI) for differing reasons. Based purely on their investment fundamentals, which is the superior choice of the three?

Q: AcuityAds is up 35% today. The only news I can find is that it is named to AdExchanger Programmatic Power Players List. I find it hard to believe that this alone accounts for the increase (plus high volume today). Would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks John
