Investment Q&A

Q: I have these companies on my cash account , they all are doing good, but now I'm looking to sell 3 of them, so I can buy some BRK.B.
Which 3 would you let go. thank you.

Q: Been going with Denison mines for the last year and chart up around 50%. See Nexgen during the same period up around 75%. Good idea to switch?

Q: Hmm.a is a spin off hps.a. would you invest in one or both? If one ,which one and why?

Q: Are there a few Canadian and/or US companies that are “hiding in plain sight” that have the potential to be long term compounders similar to a CSU, MKL, ROP etc?

Q: G'morning 5i,

I'm sitting on a fairly substantial loss on GXE in my TFSA. In trying to decide what to do, I first waited for the strategic review to complete, hoping that something positive would come of that. When it didn't, I next decided to wait for its latest earnings report, hoping for something positive there but, from my review of the numbers and despite management's rosy outlook, I don't see anything re-assuring there. either.
My inclination is to sell, take the loss and do something useful with the now severely diminished funds.
Occasionally in the past when I've made that decision with a losing investment, hindsight has caused me to regret it, and I think perhaps I should have been alert to signs that a turnaround was in the offing.
From your objective perch do you see any reason to hold GXE given the milquetoast strategic review and what I interpret to be the less than satisfactory recent earnings report?
I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.

Q: Hi,

One of the larger holdings in my portfolio is NVDA ~5%. I trimmed some NVDA last week and bought some VRT ~1%. Thinking of buying some SMCI as well. Do you think owning all three would be too correlated or would it be okay? Thinking of adding ~1% position to SMCI (seems to have settled down a bit here). If it were you, in what % would you allocate to each of the three names?

Also long AXON (nice results yesterday). Would like to add more but looks pricey at 68x p/e and 11x p/s. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: For a TFSA, what are the 10 U.S. stocks that you would recommend ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Missed the recent webinar. Is it posted somewhere? Curious what the 4 picks were. Thanks

Q: My wife and I would like to convert our diversified portfolio of 20 active companies to a portfolio of ETFs. We are in our 70s and would like to simplify our portfolio.

We picture 5 to 10 ETFs.
One or two ETFs for all Canadian stocks, same for the USA and one or two for indexes outside North America.
As I say, we’re currently pretty well diversified and earning dividend income of around 5% and would like to continue around that level of yield and diversification.

What ETFs would you include? Is this a dream or can it really be done?
Many thanks for your research and opinion.
Frank

Q: I was in the process of trimming some holdings yesterday to buy Axon, but didn't get the buy in before end of day, so wondering whether to wait a bit for the stock to settle, or just get into it after the good earnings report.

Q: Feb 21th, you answered total return estimated per yr at 7% for the next 3/5 yrs. The cie has already 5.9% div. Does it mean the analysts anticipate a growth rate of only 1%/yr?

Thanks

Q: What's your opinion on Potbelly PBPB?

Thank you.

Q: Thoughts, benefits and implications of their merger, please, thanks.

Q: Hi guys,

Any recent for the recent drop in BIP?

Thanks

Q: I will be making a case to our investment club to replace CU with ENB..The portfolio mandate is conservative growth with above average dividends. How would you compare these two companies, what metrics would you use, how would you frame the presentation ?
Thanks. Derek.

Q: Could you please recommend two 100% safe and liquid holdings, one Canadian and the other American. Could you advise the current interest rate they each pay?

Q: MFC vs. SLF: compare and contrast.

Q: I understand that TGED and TUED ETF's use both Call and Put option strategies to produce income. One is a global ETF and the other is a US stock ETF both available on the CDN exchange. Can you help suggest some ETF's available on the US exchange that use both Call and Put option strategies targeting the World and US stock markets. thanks

Q: big drop efr, despite production increase
would you consider current price a good
entry point.
thank you

Q: With the down day and negative news on Friday for BKNG, I’ve been thinking of selling and buying into SYK. Bookings has had a good run but if travel is measurably slowing it may make sense to migrate into a company that has a more positive outlook. Thoughts??
