Investment Q&A

Q: Please rank these royalty companies in order of preference disregarding the market cap. Thanks.

Q: If you were a gambling man, which Canadian companies (tsx or venture) would you bet get acquired sooner rather than later?

Q: I am thinking of selling my WELL stock for Tax Loss and repurchase after the 30 days. I don't know of a good proxy for WELL so just wondering if you believe this health stock with flat line for a while?

Q: My last question asked about dividends for this company. You answered “ SRU.UN pays a 'distribution' now yielding 8.1%. Keep in mind this is taxed differently than a Canadian dividend, and the tax breakdown can vary yearly. ”. Can you provide some insight on the two points in the last sentence. Thank you.

Q: What to do about LULU? I have half positions in LULU, BKNG and BYD. It appears that there has been a shift in consumer spending to frugality and, if so, sell, hold LULU or move funds to one of the others to full positions or move to another discretionary stock?

Q: In January you stated a concern about MHC.UN's P/CF of 17. TD shows the current P/E of 5.5x and a P/CF of 4.1x. May I please have an opinion update on this stock?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: These 3 new Hamilton covered call etf's seem to my untrained eye to provide a very smart blend of generous income in excess of 10% annually each as advertised plus 70% of the holdings aren't subject to the call writing and thus are able to deliver a substantial portion of potential capital growth. The current portfolios for all three seem well chosen, solid picks. Each of these etf's has over $100 million invested rather quickly and they are likely to continue subscription growth. Newness aside, what's not to like for income plus exposure to a basket of high-grade US healthcare, financials and Cdn and US energy equities? Whatcha think? Thank you.

Q: Was just re-reading the 2022 5i report on FSV and reviewing some recent answers to questions whereby you remain positive on the name. Can you provide a quick update on a few things in the report, like the key risks then versus now, and comment on the current valuation on a forward basis (and anything else new/changed, positive or negative that you think is worth considering before making the decision to buy now). Thanks.

Q: Hello,

What your thoughts on Payfare’s second delayed earnings report and the subsequent drop yesterday. Also, what do you think of all of the insider sales?

Thank you

Q: Missed the run up on this. What do you think is a decent entry point for a minimum 2-5 year hold?

Q: Can you please take us through the investment case for this company as well as make a recommendation as to whether it is a buy, sell or hold and how it compares to some of your favs like VRT and SMCI? Please provide a clear answer on what an attractive entry point might be if you like the company.

Q: In Chris's recent webinar he mentioned the similarities between TCS and DSG as well as the same between GSY and TCS.

Now my question here is if I was only to own one of each of the two which ones have the best opportunities for growth going forward and which meets Warren Buffets criteria most closely?

Thanks

Q: Could you confirm what is happening with the price of long term U.S. treasuries?
I purchased HPYT in January for the high yield to fund my RIF withdrawals. I understand the inherent risks of the structure of HPYT and anticipated some volatility but a generally a flat to upward trajectory given the forecast of reducing interest rates. I know the timeframe is short but wanted to confirm that the reason for the slide in HYPTs price is long term treasury rate increases.
Do you still anticipate rate reductions in US treasuries?

Q: Company had good Q4 report back on March 5th. SP went on a run up to the $11.00 range, then sold off and has been in the mid to high $9’s since. Would appreciate your analysis on their recent quarter and how you see the performance of this sock over the next 12 - 18 months. Thank you in advance. Stan.

Q: Hi Peter, thoughts ? the chart breakout looks good . Thanks.,

Q: Hi there, I am down 40-80% on BTO, CGX, and WELL (as well as Andrew Peller, which I already know to sell based on your dropping coverage). I am wondering if there is any point on still holding these stocks, or if I should just sell them so I can put the remaining money somewhere else?
Thank you!

Q: Everyone, what are the three biggest risks to the market this year? Clayton.

Q: On march 28 question ,I was interested by the topics and by your answer,that seems to consider the 3 ETF in the same category :"HMAX would fit in this category as it does employ a covered call strategy targetting Canadian financials and primarily the 'Big 5' banks. Some covered call ETFs we like are QYLD and XYLD. We also think Hamilton ETFs line of covered call ETFs is solid, although some are very new and small which we would watch out for. ". Personnaly I did not choose QYLD and XYLD since I don't consider them in the same category as HMAX and others ETF as BMO ETF etc.. QYLD exerts options on 100% of its portfolio,wich limits upside and could lead to a significant long term downtrend; this is not the case for HMAX whose options are on 50% of its portfolio and consequently it keeps some upside potential.Is my comprehension OK or Do I miss something?

Q: Good morning,

Thinking of selling BCE for a capital loss, and replacing with FTS. Hold FTS until ex-dividend date of May 16th, and then buy back BCE in time for their June ex-dividend date.

Reasonable strategy if no immediate near term price catalysts - good or bad - for either BCE/FTS?

Q: Looks like another quality pickup by TVK. Is the acquisition of Advance Engineered Products material for TVK? Any other thoughts on this deal?
