Investment Q&A

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

Q: I currently own these stocks and am unfortunately under water on all of them.
Am considering selling two of these to incur a capital loss. Which of the two do you suggest I should keep?
With the funds raised from the sale I am considering doubling down on the remaining two. Or, adding either a Canadian or U.S. bank as another alternative. Would appreciate you comments on this strategy. And which Canadian bank or U.S. bank would you prefer.

Q: I have some U.S. cash to invest. I feel the U.S. market is going a little bit lower over the next few weeks and this will provide a great opportunity to capitalize on. Which of the above would you consider to have the best outlook ( or would you suggest buying a little bit of all four )??

Q: There was a restructuring of Loblaws/G Weston back a while ago - can you please explain the changes. I held L and received WN shares. Can you please also direct me to the details for calculating ACB related to this. On a related note, what are the prospects for WN in the current environment - should I top up my WN or sell and buy more L?
Thank you.

Thanks, Tim.

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I have been patiently holding VMD since the early November 2019 drop expecting this to be a company leaned on during the current pandemic. Today it is up 14%. Is there a reason for this jump? And what are your expectations moving forward?

I did read the article posted earlier today.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Team,
I hold the following stocks in my TFSA: AYX, FB, LSPD, SQ, TTD. Lightspeed is by far my worst performer so far in this group (-50%). I was thinking of possibly "Doubling down" on lightspeed in order to lower my average price, and also with the thought being since its sold off the most in this group, that it may have the highest potential return in a time frame of say a couple yrs. But.. I hold no cash in this account for the most part, so I would have to trim one or 2 of these holdings in order to raise the cash required to buy more LSPD. I am a bit hesitant to do this as I am a firm believer in the other holdings as well. If you were to trim, which would it be from out of the list of stocks given, in order to buy more LSPD? Or would you consider doing this at all given the prospects of the other stocks in this list? Note that I would not have to trim alot from the other ones as LSPD is currently down so much that it wouldn't take too much to double down on it. I am using my TFSA for high growth, and not overly concerned with weightings as long as the holdings are of quality and high growth potential. Thanks for the advice.

Shane.

Q: With the huge amounts of dollars being infused into the economic system by governments around the world are we going to be seeing the reduction of the value of currencies around the globe? Does it make sense at this time to invest in other asset classes such as gold, silver or anything else you can suggest.
And if diversifying into another asset class makes sense, how would one go about buying gold or silver or any other asset class you can suggest.
thanks, Jean

Q: Wanted to ask your thoughts on this name. Keep reading advertising will be impacted but longer term their model seems to hold weight. Being isolated, many hours is spent on various streaming platforms along with web surfing. Also, no one is really focused on the election but I suspect once covid19 has peaked and stabilized it will become a larger focus driving an up take for TTD.
