Q: Your top picks for companies with no debt?

Q: tfii continues to get hammered even on a good day like today, is this a sell, volume is substantial,excellent earnings,i am close to letting it go. dave

Q: After a correction like we’ve seen the last week, where do you see as the best place to put money? I didn’t sell anything during the pullback. I have a long time to wait, and am ok with risk. Would you recommend long term value stocks (such as dividend aristocrats, banks, utilities etc.) or more fluctuating stocks (such as tech, pot, faang etc)? Where do you see the better bounce back? I use all available drips.

Q: can you comment on the result of NVCR is it a good buy on this level

Q: I have held Goldcorp for several years. After the recent quarter is there a reason to continue holding or just throw n the towel. Thanks as always , Frank

Q: TMX Group looks pretty attractive on a few valuation metrics and its balance sheet looks pretty strong as well. How quickly can a poor market influence TMX's eps expectations? Are its earnings pretty much insulated from a poor market, or can a poor market knock down its earnings expectations, 10%, 20%, 30%??

Thanks.

Q: Hi, wrt Q&A on 'Asked by Wes on October 25, 2018', can you pls add this stock to your db/coverage. I did a 'Company' search and it was not in the db. I'd like to see/review their 'key ratios' that you provide.
Further, they had continued good growth in their 3rd quarter results ie Record Revenue and Net Income, can you comment further on this please? Similar results were seen for the 1st and 2nd quarters as well but the stock has lost a bit of ground in the last 1-3 months. ...though still up on the year. Could just be profit taking?
Would it be ideal to take an initial 1/3 position in this stock at this time? Or does it just warrant a watch during the current (market) downtrend?

Thanks,
Steve

Q: I sold Trevali mining and other speculative companies in my TFSA like . Blackbird energy. Sold some of my Gold cos as well.

I am looking for non- dividend paying, growth oriented, momentum driven (yes, even in this awful stock melt down climate!) Canadian companies which are not expensive to buy. 5 to 10 bucks? Willing to accept risk and can hold on to them for 3 years at least. I have GUD, ECN.
Thank you.

Q: Seems to have blown the numbers out big time and the stock was halted. They were offered a buy out around $20.00 which the government blocked. Do you see aecon as a $30.00 stock long term. Thanks.

Q: What is the reason for the large drop in this stock? Is this a buying opportunity?

Q: your view on the quarterly results thanks

Q: Hi team,
What do you think about their earnings results? Would you put any weight on Ackerman buying today 696M worth of stock. Also any comments on GRUB would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Mullen Group reported results today and they are what they are. I watched the CEO on BNN today and did not find his interview “warm and fuzzy”. Actually I found he was bitter and he blamed the government and economic influences beyond his control for the company results. I came away thinking if the CEO doesn’t think positively of the future then it’s time to exit my holdings and move on.
Am I way off the mark? Would appreciate your advice.
Thanks John

Q: Both stocks down after earnings. How do the results look to you?

I find it odd that Amazon can earn $2.88 billion or $5.75 per share which is over 80% higher than estimates of $3.14 per share, but sales were $500 million lower then estimates ($56.6 billion vs $57.1 billion)... less then 1% miss... with concerns over high valuations in tech stocks, Amazon in particular trading at a high P/E ratio, to crush earnings and go down seems like an overeaction.

Q: According to Bank of America while individual investors are still buying stocks, institutional investors are selling. Is that a bearish sign ? Typically professionals exit the market before a major downturn and retail investors as always late in the game throw their money into the market at a wrong time. What are you thoughts on this?
I have recently bought SIS, PBH and other 5i BE stocks. I had placed some stink bids with my buy price atleast 10% below the price about a month ago and all those transactions went through to my surprise. The stocks are still falling further. I know for long term investment one should not worry about 10-20% fall in good companies but are institutions selling the companies followed by 5i portfolios and may be they are waiting to come back in at a much better pricing in near future ?

Thanks for the great service as always
Ninad

Q: Would this be a good time to buy TECK.B? Would like to hold for 3 years+
