Investment Q&A

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

Q: I get it that general-contractors like BDT are exposed to cyclicality in ways that engineering-and-design co's like WSP are not, but then I compare their P/E ratios (20.5 vs 54.5) and wonder if the latter could ever grow as much as the former - or is BDT's low P/E just a fact of life in cyclical sectors, such that it's the one that's growth-limited?

Q: I like BN and have owned for a while mostly on the idea that they are smarter than me and doing things with money I could never do. But, how do you evaluate a company like BN? What objective metrics would I use? Regular financial like PE and ROE don't seem to fit per se...so when do I know I could sell for instance or buy some more as it's a 'bargain'?

Q: Hello 5i:
I want to add to my AI exposure with a 3 – 5 year horizon.
I already have sufficient TSLA and AAPL, and moderate positions in NVDA and MSFT, and a starting position in PLTR.
What would be your choice(s) for adding to any of these, and/or starting new positions such as AVGO, DELL , TSM, or others? I have avoided GOOG due to possible breakup legislation.
Many thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: According to my TD research, on a 1, 3, and 5 year basis, ZLB has outperformed ZCN despite ZLB's higher MER and lower dividend. Is that a reasonable apples to apples comparison? I'm wondering if it's worth it to sell my ZLB and buy ZCN or does it all work out to about the same? Thanks. And belated Happy Thanksgiving

Q: The Macro Market Models are very interesting. I think I missed the explanation on the "Sector, Size, and Style Rotation" tables which give percentages for each signal i.e., Trim, Hold/Tactical Buy, Buy and Strong Buy". What are these percentages relative to? Thanks.
