Investment Q&A

Q: What do you think about their acquisition announced this morning?

Q: In my holding company trading account with a year-end of Oct 31, I plan to sell these losers in the next few days to offset earlier capital gains. I expect that these companies may drop even further during the tax loss selling season. Do you see any potential for any of these companies that might lead me to buy back the shares after 30 days?

Q: What's up with Well Health? Great results, analyst consensus of $9 - but stock stinks at $3.

Is Li Ka Shing still a shareholder? The last Cantech article seems unclear by saying "lead by..."; like "lead in spirit, but not dollars"? WELL is a sponsor of Cantech and Wadell owns shares personally, so the language and format of that article seem questionable. I kinda get the impression Li has liquidated his position but the company is tiptoeing around disclosing that. A couple sources say Li has "exited" but you may have clearer info from company IR.

I know Hamed Shabazi (ceo of WELL) is close friends with Sharzad Rafati, (ceo of BBTV) and that company has been an utter disaster. Hamed also sits on the board. Do you see any contagion spilling over? Similar problems, tricks or worse?

Something doesn't add up with the share performance of WELL based on their results, supposed high profile backers and analyst target consensus. Can they handle their debt? Have they overextended? Was that short report correct in their analysis of the CRH takeover? I mean that was a trash article; poorly researched and appears to be written by a confused teenager.

I like Hamed and followed him all the way back from the TIO days. I want to be sure that I am not picking up a scent similar to the fraudulent Canadian roll-up "darling" Patient Home Monitoring - I still have nightmares from that burn. The analysts all loved that one too. Well, thanks for your insight!

Q: Is it timely to average down on these 3 stocks? Please provide short comments, and good entry prices for each. Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: With free cash flow and/or sufficient ready liquid cash on hand and a healthy prospective new business list in the hopper, in which order would you liquidate. Obviously the weakest one being the 1st to go.

Q: Hi Team,
I was looking for a list of some beat down, quality names in this carnage with robust potential, to hold my breath and buy some more shares for the long term. Names that have the potential to recover and continue climbing higher, once the market normalizes (whenever that may be). 4 names I was thinking of were either NVDA, SHOP, WELL or TOI. Which of these would be your top choice for the highest return potential over the next 10yr period? Do you have any other names in mind which you would prefer or the ones I listed? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi,

Can you give 5 small and midcap stocks US and Canadian that fits the category "that have purely domestic revenues and don't have to worry about recessions" as mentioned in your article in National post.

Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
The stock performance of Well is a bit perplexing to me as of late. I understand that growth stocks in general have gotten slaughtered the last year. But this is a Health company (which I thought in general are supposed to fair well in "recession" type environments). The company so far has proven to be growing at a very high rate. Last numbers beat estimates if I remember correctly, and guidance upgraded. It had received some Price Target upgrades from analysts after the last release. Yet the share price continues to drift lower. Canada in general seems to have a healthcare "shortage" right now if you believe what the media tells us. You would think a company with "telehealth", which I think will have great future growth and help ease contstraints on hospitals somewhat would be catching the eye of long term investors here. As well, the CEO has a proven track record as building up a company and selling it. Am I missing something, or could this set up be one of the most compelling on the tsx today for long term buyers at this level? Also, is Well still a relatively "unknown" company to the investment world in canada? It seems that getting in early with unknown companies that end up sucessful can sometime generate outsized returns over the long haul. As is the notorious (10 baggers) everyone can dream of finding once in a lifetime. This all being said, should I be buying today for the buy and hold strategy? Your comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: These companies are possible tax loss candidates this fall. Which are most likely to be the best choices for a rebound over the medium term (one - three years)? Please grade accordingly: most likely to rebound (best to worst); potential upside (highest to lowest).

Q: Would appreciate your opinion as to which of these two companies you would prefer and maybe a short explanation why.
Thank you

Q: this is my mix of companies. which would you cull and what do you recommend to replace?

Q: Without concern for sector or diversification what would be your top 2 choices of the above names for long term (10+ yrs) growth potential for TFSA? Of those 2 choices what is a good entry point??

Q: Peter, for a portion of my portfolio I’m looking for companies with 8-10 bagger potential over the medium term, say 3 years. Please provide your 5 best cdn. and u.s. names for such potential gains. Regards Greg

Q: What 4-5 Cdn Companies would go good with this group if looking to balance things out a bit (more growth focus vs income). A couple of stocks I had in mine include: BAM.A, DOO, MG, DOL. Do any of these stocks seem like they w/b a good fit/mix or our there others that you think would be better choices?

Q: Hi Guys
According to an update i received from Simply Wall St.
12 analysts covering this stock no longer expect the company to break even in the near future.
* They were expected to make a profit of 5.23 million in 2023.
* New consensus forecast suggests the company will make a Loss of 8.75 million in 2023
This doesn't sound very encouraging. What are your views?
Thanks Gord

Q: Ignoring company size and sector diversification, can you please rank these stocks on a best to worst risk / reward basis for long term hold. I own them all in various accounts with a half position or less so my plan would be to let some go and increase position in others with better potential. Any of them you consider good buy at the moment? Thank you!

Q: Your comments please on the earnings of these two companies. Thanks

Q: Hello, I have holdings that replicate the Balanced Equity portfolio with weightings being within about 1% for each stock based on the model portfolio. I have also aimed to hold a small number of stocks from the growth portfolio and currently have 1-2% for each of LSDP and WELL. I am considering adding 1-2% holding to SHOP, LSDP, WELL or adding 2% for TOI or DOL. I have a 20 year time frame.

I am leaning towards SHOP, TOI, LSDP for adding shares but am aware of my heavier weighting in the technology sector and am considering if Dolorama may be a good option at this time. With the war in the Ukraine and inflation, also based on my time frame, can you recommend which stocks you would suggest adding to of the ones listed at this time?

Q: Hi Peter & team:

Could you name the order of preference for stocks to be put in TFSA- from most prefer to least prefer. Thank you

Q: I purchased a small position in this company about 2 years ago and currently down 50%.
I am bullish on the North American sector long term.
Any reason or reasons why I should not be adding to my position now?
