Investment Q&A

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

Q: I would appreciate your comments on the recent weakness in WSP’s share price. Could you please outline the main factors behind the sudden drop and whether this appears to be short-term market volatility or something more fundamental?

In particular, is the recent acquisition a significant factor in the decline, and if so, how do you assess the risks and potential long-term benefits from that transaction?

Additionally, at current price levels, would you consider WSP a buy, a hold, or a position to trim for a long-term investor? Any perspective on valuation, outlook, and key risks would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your insight.
Rick

Q: Hello,
Stephen Harper, our past Prime Minister remarked recently that Canadians should not be complacent in the notion that post USMCA discussions we will go back to easy access to the US market. Are you able to comment on what independent investors should be taking from this and how to manage investment strategy accordingly? It would appear that there could be different layers to this worth considering, and also that a do-nothing solution should not be as reliable as it had been in the past. In fact, it seems that both past and present Prime Ministers are specifically saying that some anticipation of change is needed.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

You have alluded to poor "Sentiment" as an important factor in poor performance of certain stocks. (CSU & it's off springs plus SaaS companies)

What kind of metrics and tools that you use to measure "Sentiment"?
Price or volume or Technical indicators or any other tools from proprietary services?

Many thanks.

Q: You guys must be getting annoyed with all the questions on these companies, but I will press my luck with one more from a slightly different angle. I own them and I am trying to determine how low they go if earnings and commentary show any kind of slowdown. I am trying to better understand the risk/reward in continuing to hold versus just stepping aside until there is a clear reversal in trend. I am thinking that if there is no growth or a reduction in sales and earnings these could still fall much further, and I am hoping for your thoughts on how much.
Thanks
