Q: I just asked a question about comment/thoughts on an oil/gas stock then I came across your response to a question where you mentioned the 5i couch potato portfolio (is it published elsewhere?). The clean energy ETF has done very well ICLN-Q. Would you recommend it? It has certainly been on a tear. If yes, could it replace the oil/gas component?

Q: No question on CoStar (CSGP) in the database.

Great Cash Flows, low Cap Ex. Grew Reneues and EPS roughly at 10x in 10 year with only ~2x share count increase. Something good is happening here. However, on P/E basis, it is really expensive.

With Gross Margin at 80% and 20% Net Margin I don't understand why ROE is so low (<10%).

Balance sheet is fine with very little debt. Digitizing conservative industry (real-estate), which appears to have good long term growth opportunities.

Is that a US version of Altus Group? What do you think of the Name?

Q: Good morning,
I just completed my annual portfolio review to identify potential tax loss harvesting candidates for the 2020 tax year and given that both KEY and ENB are both underwater, I am considering the option of selling both stocks and repurchasing them in 30 days.
My first question is which stock, stocks or ETF would you recommend I purchase to replace KEY and ENB for the next 30 days before repurchasing both KEY and ENB if that is indeed my best course of action.
My second question is whether or not these two pipeline stocks continue to have a place in an income generating non registered account portfolio or should I simply replace them now with some other income generating stock and if so which one or two stocks would you recommend.
I thank you in advance and look forward to hearing your response.

Q: Thank you so much for your recommendation on WYNN, GC, BKNG, LUV. They went up a lot.
I still have some cash that I would like to invest.
Are there any stocks that are still undervalued even after recent vaccine news? Or should I just wait for them to dip again? Thanks!

Q: With your help from May2017 to now I am up 132%. Love your advice but tend to think it's aimed at young and middle aged people, which is probably most of your readers.
I am 71 and have Shopify which has done well for as have KL, Real and Brookfields to name a few. Have some cash and was wondering if you could give me some growth , yes I know the risk, that won't take 10 years to see action on.

Q: According to a TD Waterhouse report issued on Nov 10th, the valuation of BIP.UN using forward P/FFO looks very attractive over the next two years in comparison to 2020:
2020E 16.1x, 2021E 13.7x, 2022E 12.5x
As long as it can maintain it's current multiple over the same period I should be able to experience capital appreciation.
How much confidence should I have in these forecasts? Do these forecasts seem reasonable for the stock?
Thank-you.

Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS
