Investment Q&A

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

Q: In one of your answers yesterday, you intimated that the sale of Enerplus might not be a done deal. "Devon is a much larger company than CHRD and if it wants ERF it likely could top this bid. .... This one may not be over." The press release announced that both boards unanimously approved the deal. Are you aware of the size of the breakup fee ? Do you know who the largest shareholders of ERF are ? As an ERF shareholder, I agree with your assessment that this is not a great deal.

Q: I am wondering what you think the risk is with nvidia vis-a-vis the tensions between the US and China. My understanding is that nvidia's supply chain is heavily based in Taiwan. Should China overtake Taiwan, what do you think the impact would be to nvidia? Are there alternate sources elsewhere worldwide (considering supply chain constraints)? Presently, the US government is restricting what nvidia can ship to China and I must assume that China would probably reciprocate should they take control of Taiwan. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank You.

Q: While planning for our upcoming Japan trip, I noticed that the Japanese Yen is at a 30 year low against the USD. Any insight into why that might be? Do you see a way to profit from this, directly or indirectly?

Q: Hello Peter,

The insurance sector has been outperforming this year and I am wondering if it is still time to add to sector weight.
Your preferred choice here is Intact Financial and if I do not increase my sector weight, I will have to replace with selling either SLF or TSU.
What is your opinion?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hello Peter and Team, I am trying to balance my portfolio across geographies. I am wondering how much weight I should give to companies that are domiciled in Canada but have operations in other parts of the world. For example, would I weight Magna totally Canada or would I give it a partial international weighting as well? What about Topicus (Analytics classifies it as Canada)?
Thank you for your insight.

Q: Hi Peter,
Would you go overweight in either /both targeting a double in two years? Alternatively, will you assign a probability with 90% confidence on a return in two years? I just want to know how you view these stocks currently.

Q: Hello all,
Not a question, just a comment re: the latest comment around Dream Industrial REIT.
Paul, I believe it was, mentioned how various sources confuse certain companies with similar tickers. I have found that RBC and the TSX Money websites, among others, often confuse the Canadian DIV-T with the DIV-A ETF listed in the U.S., or vice versa. There are possibly more symbols which can create confusion.
So, just a note to everyone to take the time to ensure that what is being reported, even by your broker or other trusted sources, is accurately reflecting the correct equity - particularly where the information is such that you might be thinking of acting upon it.
Cheers,
Mike
