Investment Q&A

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

Q: You've mentioned Boyd as one of your favorites a number of times lately, and I'd like your reasoning. This doesn't appear to be a cheap stock, by any means, with a forward PE of 96 (G&M). Moreover it's in the business of servicing cars which are mostly in their garages and parking spots these days. Is this a forward view to next year, because I am expecting its next quarterly report to be absolutely dreadful.

Q: I am looking to begin to sell puts on the scarier parts of the US economy. Not the scariest, so no cruise lines, but airlines, entertainment, hospitality, automakers, restaurants would be fair game. I can't even look at Tesla and I know that LUV has been your preference among US airlines. Given that the chief criteria of this trade is that the company survive is LUV still your preferred recommendation among airlines? Can you recommend any other beaten down stocks in these sectors that you are reasonably sure will come through the other end of this, whenever that is. US listed companies only please due to option liquidity. Thank-you, once again, for all your sage advice!

Q: I owned PPL for a few years, and with the sell down of late, I'm interested in adding to my position.

However I'd like your view on: 1. does PPL have sufficient cash flow to maintain the current dividend payout? 2. what about the counter party risk that drove down the share price, how real/or likely is it, or is it just the usual market panic?

Thank you for your insight.

Q: Hi, do you have an updated opinion on KR? I'm trying to round out a top 5 list (US or CAN, doesn't matter) for Consumer Staples. The other 4 are above.
Anything obvious missing? that you would pick over the above 5?

Q: Your Flash Update review of BAD was on-the-whole encouraging, but when I look at price action over 2014 to 2019, I see a safe but essentially static business. Yes, its dividend is secure, but any Big 5 bank pays twice as much. Given the effects of the current shutdown on municipal budgets, and the carnage still underway in the oil patch, I have to wonder if its appreciation potential is now baked-in. What am I missing?

Q: I just received a notification of a class action suit and it advises that you must opt out by March 25, 2020 which date has come and gone.
I guess I have no choice now .. I am part of the class action. Will this create a problem for me .. what should I do? I have been involved in stocks as part of a class action. The forms and info requiredwere very time-consuming and received pennies on the dollar for it.
AYX, AMD, NVDA, TTD, FIVN, and CRM. What type of ETFs would have these type of stocks in them? I was with Dundee Private Vestors for a very long time one of their very top picks was the Sprott Growth Fund which I did well by .. manager Peter Hodson. Thanks Dennis

Q: Hello, you say that in a RRSP or RIF both BIP.UN and BIPC are economically equivalent. When one looks at the company profile of both, only BIP.UN shows a dividend yield of 5.1%. The company profile of BIPC does not show any dividend. Is it because BIPC is a new company that has just been listed? Will the dividend of BIPC be the exact same of BIP.UN? Regards, Gervais

Q: I am a Canadian and have built up a good position in BPY.UN during this sell-off. Their website says their distributions are to dividends but Flow Thru (income) and taxed in the hands of shareholders.

They supposedly issue T5013s.

Is it better to hold in RRSP/TFSA or non-registered?

If I am borrowing to invest in a non-registered, do you think the interest can be written off taxes like buying other securities can be?

Thank you
Bruce
