Investment Q&A

Q: Could I please have you rank the above stocks in terms of must have in a portfolio constructed today for the long term.

Q: Hopefully, the term is self-explanatory.

So far, very profitable. Have you seen anybody who has written about it?

Q: Hello team,

Given the looming tensions in the Middle East, which Canadian or US oil company listed above will have the highest price potential if the United States attack Iran?

I would also like to hear your perspective on the probability of this event in the near future, the price of oil as a result, and any oil company which you would consider buying in advance.

Thank you as always!

Q: Do all Canadian oil producers receive the same WCS price - eg: Suncor (oil sands), Whitecap (non-oilsands)?

Q: Dear Peter et al:
Eric Nuttall on BNN Bloomberg today Wednesday Jan 21st chose US Natural Gas producers...all the three of his top picks!
With this mind I looked for an ETF that focuses on US Nat.Gas producers. LNGX came up. No questions on this ETF and the symbol isn't in your database. Too small and too new perhaps?

What's your take on this idea of US Nat.Gas being better than Canadian gas companies. Also your opinion on LNGX. Do you have any other suggestion for this play?
If I were to buy about 5 companies in Nat.Gas domain in the US, will I be able to match the returns of this ETF?

Many thanks.

Q: Everyone, i have been reviewing previous questions and answers to find ‘that ground breaking’ answer. The questions and responses today are very similar as the ‘yesterdays’ the only difference are the companies names. Also the five and ten year chart smooth out the drops and spikes to give a true picture over a long time. In summary today is not any different than yesterday or last month or last year or ten years ago. So if you have the best of the best stocks just ride out the noise. Clayton

Q: Why do companies do a stock split and do you think any of the banks will do a stock split in 2026.

Q: UNH appears to be in something of a no-man’s-land for the next year or two. An RBC DS report on January 21 says “intermediate-term recovery seems already priced in ” which suggests limited near-term upside. Disagree? I don't mean to prejudice your answer, but FYI CFRA also seems unimpressed with UNH’s prospects.
I’d appreciate your view on:
• Do you agree that UNH offers limited upside over the next 12–24 months, or do you see catalysts the market is missing?
• Have large loss which is not usable for tax. Would that factor into your hold vs. exit decision?
• If you believe UNH is still worth holding, please outline your rationale.

What do you show for current , updated forward P/E, PEG, and debt levels?
• More broadly, do you think the current U.S. administration and regulatory stance will constrain UNH’s ability to grow, and is there any risk that the core business model is now structurally impaired?
Many thanks! :ao:

Q: Looks to be substantial insider buying at Telus in the last 3 months as well as a company buybacks.Can you please confirm this as my source is canadian insisider.

Q: How can we read Peter's information in the magazine, the last one, and the future?

Q: Greetings,

From what I can gather (simplywallstreet) the last noted insider purchase was in June of last year at $160.

The price today is about $128 and the 52 week low was $117 and no sign, as of yet of recent insider buys.

1) Previously happy to pay $160 but no longer happy to pay $128? Can anything be made of this and what is your rational for continued optimism?

2) What would be your recommended entry price?

3) If I had 100 units of cash then how would you ratio the purchase of PRL?

All the best,
A

Q: NVA TSX/CA Nuvista Energy Ltd

Sell now?

What do the owners of NVA get if just waiting for the deal to go through?

Thank you.

Q: If you were to purchase today only one stock and one ETF to broadly capture the AI sector what would they be?
Thank you

Q: I notice for so many stocks that there is a huge increase in trading volume in the last 5 days or so of every third month. South Bow is a nice example. It trades about a million shares or less daily for most of the time then trades 3 to 5 million shares daily for the last 5 to 7 trading days in the months of March, June, September, December.. The pattern repeats every quarter.
Could you please explain this pattern for me.
Thank you Paul K.

Q: Would you consider TSAT a hold through it's current situation? Or if you would prefer to sell, do you have a suggested replacement?

Q: Dug this small cap about a month ago and se only one question from 3 years ago!
What is your analysis of these guys and would you put a small % investment into this one?
Thanx as always
Gary

Q: 1)Your thoughts on ASGI and would you buy it today?
2)DBC and PICK: Which do you prefer and would you buy them today?
Thank you

Q: Can I have your assessment of the viability of this company?

Q: I have never received a vote on this offer. I trade out of TD Waterhouse. The Nuvista shares I own are in my Margin Account.
What are your comments about this takeover as it seems to me that the Nuvista shares are undervalued at $18.00 as shown by the increase in Ovintiv shares. Regards Gord

Q: Am I subjecting myself to a 15% US witholding tax on the (minuscule) dividend by holding this ETF in my TFSA?
