Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Peter

I sold recently almost 50% of my US stocks:ADBE,AMZN,TEAM,NFLX,MA & MSFT from my unregstr. acct. and I do not want to keep cash and I do not want to buy US stocks.

Please provide me with idea of 5 Canadian stocks that are reasonably safe and be kept for 2 to 3 years, or 2 Canadian stocks very safe with little growth.

Q: Now that Wealthsimple is offering Fractional Share purchases does it make sense to buy the Faang?

Thanks!

Q: After its earnings release, would you consider NFLX is now close to the status of a mature enterprise? Still worthy of above-average multiples , but with a P/E that could be justifiable around 25, and likely not today’s sky-high multiples.

1. What is your thinking on this, after last night’s results? Would you be of the mind that NFLX share price will from now rise very modestly ,or even remain flattish, over the next 3 to 5 years?
2. At the time of sending this question, I don’t yet see any updates of analyst ratings but perhaps they will be available at time of your answer. Post latest results what do you see as PEG, forward P/E and, if available, growth/contraction in global revenues?
3. Do you think today’s sell off in NFLX is an opportunity to add? Would you top up on a half position, or liquidate?

Your opinions have always been valuable and most helpful. Thank you.

Q: I do not have technology shares in my RRSP. I'm well covered in energy, financials, utilities, transportation, tel coms and an ETF US equities. There are quite a few techno companies out there. For a long term investment, any suggestions and why.

Q: What are some of your favourite founder led growth companies that you would be comfortable investing in today (US and CAN)? I just finished the Motley Fool Investment Guide by David and Tom Gardner, and they are big on that component. Would you generally agree with them?
Thanks
Marc

Q: Twitter launching a new service with a subscription fee. Any thoughts on Twitter blue and would you buy the news? I had Twitter and sold it around the 69$ mark. To give me an idea, could you please rank these in terms of a buy as of today: Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, Snapchat, Netflix. 5+ Yr hold, Registered account.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Several months ago I bought PINS when you had it as a BNN top pick - after initial gains like many tech related companies it has declined

Taxes are not an issue it’s in a registered account , neither are $9.99 fees

Would you suggest a switch to either NFLX or ROKU within communication sector or stay the course

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Friday messy fun question, please take it lightly. I would like to start reducing the oil companies I bought in April last year. They've done incredibly well, but now I would like to increase my tech growth stocks by opening 1 or 2 new positions. I currently own GOOG, DND, U, CRWD, RDFN, ROKU, VEEV, PINS, and SQ. They have done well under your recommendations even with the recent pullbacks. As no one can time the markets, I am not willing to wait for a surprise interest hike as it is part of a locked-in RSP. It would be a 10+ hold. 1) Without considering size, could you please rank your favourite top 5 companies addressed in this question as of today in terms of strong balance sheet & steady growth potential over time (even in an interest hike environment). 2) Could you please give a brief explanation for the #1 pick only. Thank you very much as always!

Q: Hi 5 i
Any thoughts on this new etf
Thx
Gerry

Q: TECH Just came across this new ETF. Can you give me your opinion on investing now or wait. Don't see how it can't succeed with these names.

Q: Hello Team,
How would you rank AMZN, GOOG and NFLX, given their current prices and a reopening world and why?
Thank You,
Barry

Q: Would you say the slide in shares of NFLX post-earnings today is overdone? I think it is the only FANG member that has rested on its laurel this calendar year whilst other members of that club have whizzed by (with the possible exception of AAPL) . At the now reduced price, down some 10% I think , is NFLX now at a price that one may top up a one-third already held?

If you have an *enthusiastic* yes, please advise what you see for the following metrics: ROE, PEG and ROCI— all based on the latest financials please.

Q: Hi 5i
In the content space would you expect Disney or Netflix to outperform the other ? I'm leaning towards DIS for the content + 'everything else' that DIS has to offer - or has it recovered sufficiently and should I reign in my expectations ?
Expecting a 2-4 year hold, longer if all goes well.

Thanks
Mike

Q: These 4 companies seems like a good place to start contributing some investment funds. Any chance you can rank these in terms of buy-ability at current levels?

Q: Hi, may I get your thoughts on Verizon. Thanks.

Q: I'm wondering if you have strong feelings about the prospects of any of these or similar mega cap tech stocks, in terms of their values against each other or others similar. I own most of these but on their own they are fairly small holdings. Could you please rank, and which would be worth trading up for the others? Also how many would you recommend holding?

Q: Any idea why such a big move with this company on Friday. I own a small position and could not find any news. I’m wondering whether I should add to it or should I wait?
Thanks John

Q: Seems like the market liked the latest quarterly results from Netflix.

Of the FAANG stocks, where does Netflix fit in terms ranking for investment now?

Q: After a nice initial run from the March lows, Netflix has been in a trading range since last July and is at the lower end near $500. Do you like the company enough to feel this is a decent entry point for an investor to start legging in or is Freddy Krueger lurking? Thanks

Q: North America will get hit with a Second Wave of Virus this winter. AMZN will benefit with on line shopping as will WMT and TGT. Truckers like FDX, UPS and TFII CJT will keep busy delivering boxes. What other Industries and Companies do you see benefiting. ? RAK
