Q: In your opinion how safe is it hold AMD at the current price of this stock?

Do you see a reason to go higher or do you see a reason for the stock price to decrease?

Thank you.

Q: A you are aware ITA is a ETF focusing on the defence and aerospace sector. Is there a canadian ETF that I can buy on the TSX that accomplishes the same thing? As well what are your thoughts on GE. Would you recommend or do you think that it has run up too much and too quickly. Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

It seems that my earlier question on NBIS was "swallowed' by cyberspace! So, I am posting it again taking your answers to Claus/Gilles on July 24th into consideration.

It popped up to 57+ and then promptly/very quickly dropped down to 50s. What was all that about? It's earnings are going to be released next week? I see on my iTrade analysts recommendations is a SELL! (Research Team and CFRA) But on other sites it is a BUY! (Interactive Brokers).

What is your take on it's earnings? I know you would say that it is a BUY but for aggressive investors and be mindful of position size! (We get to read your answers between the lines!! You don't like price targets. But let me ask for your price target anyway!!

Worth selling some cash secured puts? Any suggestions for Strike price/Exp date for puts?

I have a small position and am in a loss position.(not huge but a loss nevertheless)

Hope this makes it to your queue in a timely fashion.!

Q: With tariffs coming in the very near future do you think that i should reduce my exposure in PNG.I currently have a 5% position and have done very well.
My plan would be to buy back the shares on the dip and reinstate my 5% position.

Thanks for your Reply

Q: GSY has been on a bit of a recovery run lately; is this the stock overcoming past weakness or due to business trends that are favorable for its growth? It has earnings coming up and has done well into them but if they report a higher than expected loss provision then the stock is likely to take a hit after its recent gains.

Any thoughts on what's driving the strength of GSY?

Q: Please rank according to current buy rating. All of these equities are dividend aristocrats with current dividend/distribution higher than 4.5%. Thanks

Q: Any news behind the 5%+ gain on Friday.

Q: CLS earnings are comming up; I am holding onto a decent gain, do you think the recent stock run up is too excessive ahead of earnings? Would you hold / sell all / trim ahead of earnings ?

Q: In an otherwise diversified TFSA - I'm looking at adding a small (aggressive) position - given the current price on some of the above and many recent questions/comments on others - I've come up with some candidates.

Can you give me your thoughts on which one(s) you might choose?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: " I am increasingly interested in shifting from US to Canadian growth stocks and have been looking a little closer at the 5i growth portfolio as a result. I recently acquired a position in PNG.V and am actively looking for another great Canadian growth story. Could you comment on the company (or companies) you would recommend from your growth portfolio that would be the best bets to put new money to work in the current environment?"
