Q: Hi 5i,

In regards to AMZN, MSFT and GOOGL.
At a high level why are rising interest less desirable than having low interest rates. It seems the market gets spooked if it believes interest will rise. I hope you can explain the overall thinking.

Q: I'm thinking that there's probably not a better time to enter some stocks I don't hold but want to own, than during the turbulent September / October timeframe.

Are there any of the above you would stay away from at current prices due to (over)valuation, downside risk, potential implosion.

Unfortunately, I have previously owned stocks that have left a huge scar (Nortel, NIKO Resources, Poseidon Concepts, Concordia), and want to avoid a similar fate with current high flying stocks.

Thanks for your input

Q: I have a 1.7% weighting in Fortis, which is the only utility I own in my RRSP. I'm hesitant to do so because of their gargantuan debt levels. With total liabilities of around 33.4 Billion, this is higher than their total market cap of around 27 Billion.
Net Debt to EBITA ratio around 6.2x , and low interest coverage of 2.3.
Free cash flow also only covers around 11.5 % which is quite low.
So do you still see Fortis as an attractive investment for a 10 year hold ?
Thanks !

Q: Hello -

Your opinion on these BMO ETF's please. They don't seem to totally align with the ARKK group of ETF's, do they?

Q: Hello Folks:
Currently we own CMI and NOC however have in the past also owned DEERE and CAT.

We have owned NOC for a couple of years and it never comes close to meeting expectations; while the other three have done well.

What do you think of swapping NOC for DEERE as there is heavy demand for farm equipment this year because of high crop prices (particularly U.S.).

How would you rank these four companies and do you feel there are other better large cap U.S. company choices in this sector?

Thanks again for this wonderful service

Q: Good morning,

I currently have AXP, V, MA and PYPL in my portfolio. I’m wondering if I should sell something to reduce redundancy and if so, in which order, given the outlook for growth?

Also in the same sector, I have on my watchlist AFRM, NVEI and SQ, all of which seem to have a long runway ahead. Should I add one or more of these new names either by selling from the first group or just as an add?

I’m new to this forum and I’m very appreciative of your insights. Thank you in advance!

Q: I am a holder of KL and FNV. Considering the undervalued pricing of AEM shares and my desire to augment my gold holdings, I was going to buy AEM.

With the merger announced today (28 Sept) between AEM and KL, would you be a buyer of either company today? Does it matter which one now? Your thoughts on the merger since these two names have been a couple of your gold favourites?

My regards and thanks for your work.

Q: Hi Guys
What do you think of this company, I don't really understand their technology, but the way I read it, it has been "derisked", because they are going into human trails, is this a case of it been binary, if it works it will have good upside, if it fails, its goodbye Charlie

Thanks
