Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi thank you for all that you do.

I would appreciate your thoughts on a top ten list for growth plays in the US for an RRSP. (1 ETF) Time horizon is on my side as I’m a younger investor, and a dividend is not important.

Also, can you please provide a grade for each stock chosen? Ex A -E as shown in the Report section.

Would this list be any different in a TFSA? If so, why?

Thank you and please deduct points as necessary.

Nick

Q: I might be finding out I'm less comfortable with volatility than I thought I was <g>. Or am I losing sight of longer-term trends and overreacting to isolated daily extremes?
Two of my holdings are down quite a bit more today than the general market and my other (mostly relatively conservative? - communications/banks/utilities) holdings.
Anything going on sector-related (CT REIT down almost 5%) or company-specific (Atco / utilities down over 3%)? None of my other utility holdings are nearly this bad today.

Q: On 25 Nov my portfolio dropped 2.4%.
On 30 Nov my portfolio dropped 2.7%.
On 30 Nov, still stinging from the 2.4% drop, I was watching the 5i questions but nobody was asking about the stock rout. I assume most investors were reviewing their positions to see what their exposure was.
I didn't do anything at all. But I kept watching for questions and related guidance.
Can I have your advice on what to do on a day like yesterday, where Bloomberg said futures fell due to Omicron so this was a forecast I could have acted upon. Also, the Fed was said to be more hawkish due to inflation and was going to accelerate completion of its bond buying program. Probably a few other significant factors. In this type of market, did I do the right thing? Or should I have been trading my riskier positions yesterday? My intuition says I should have done more earlier, but when I saw no related questions coming, I assumed investors were busy trading to have less exposure.
Just a few thoughts from the wounded.

Q: Hi Team,
I have heard DOO mentioned quite a bit in top canadian recommendations. Although sales have been good for the company and demand for their product is high, do you see sales/ numbers slumping for them for the next while due to supply chain issues. I know where I am the dealers have very little for inventory, and are only getting "spring break" snowcheck deliveries in for customers that pre ordered snowmobiles last spring. Will this not hurt their numbers for the next few months until supply chain issues getting straightened out?
Also, in a quick pitch...what are the main selling points for investing in this company for a 5yr plus time frame? Would it be one of your top picks today for canadian investment for share price appreciation...or after recent sell offs are their others you would choose over this one (please list)? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi, I have about -$6000 (capital loss) I can use to offset my gains this year, maybe more by end of year.
My question is there a limit to how much I can use each year for losses against my gains?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

I have owned shares of OTEX for several years and have a modest gain in my TFSA. In order to add a bit more growth to my portfolio I am thinking about selling OTEX and buying shares of KXS. Is this a move that would make sense to you or would you replace with something else?

Thanks very much.

Q: Where do you see Stryker and Becton Dickinson going forward with the Delta and now Omnicon which is way more transmissible?

If hospitalisation increases with Omnicon and surgeries are held back again, will this affect both companies and will this cause these 2 stocks to plunge?

thank you
