Investment Q&A

Q: Hi crew, what 5-10 micro-cap stocks have the biggest runway for growth? How about small cap?

Thank you,
Kevin

Q: How do you see this company going forward.
It never gave up and seems to have found a niche for it's battery technology (fork lifts at wall-mart) which seems to be impressive. I would appreciate an in depth assessment.
thanks

Q: Hi,

I'm interested in allocating a small percentage of my portfolio to Aston Martin. The company has had some tough years, however Lawrence Stroll and Toto Wolff have both recently purchased part of the company. I'm hoping to get your thoughts on the company as a whole.

Thanks.

Q: Is RPI's performance recently astonishing? Could you put some reality to this fairy dust?

Q: Could you please give me your opinion on this company. Would you consider it a good buy at this time and are there any other companies you would prefer in this space. Thanks for your advice.

Q: What is going on with this company? The price has been going down. Is it worth holding as a good speculative play? My cost is $0.63.
Thanks

Q: I started an RESP for my 2 grandsons about 3 years ago. Only 5 stocks in the account: 3 Cdn. banks, BAM and an energy company. It is doing much worse than my RESP or TFSA. I wanted safe, dividend paying stocks. Obviously the lack of diversification has hurt. I have some cash in account I would like to deploy. Please give me a few suggestions of companies I should add. Thx.

Q: Do you have any current comments on Scott's or other US cannabis stocks?
Thanks, Doug

Q: Hi,

I've held CDZ since I first began investing on my own, about 12 years ago, and it doesn't appear to have done a whole lot. The dividend is great, mind you, but I haven't seen much growth. Over these 12 years, I've been buying many of the individual positions that form part of CDZ.

Does it make much sense to continue to hold CDZ as an anchor for my portfolio? Or can I start to wind it down and use that cash to build up other positions, while maintaining a balanced portfolio.

Thanks
Robert

Q: There was a question about US estate taxation. Here is an article I found helpful.

https://ca.rbcwealthmanagement.com/documents/233544/0/U.S.+Estate+Tax+for+Canadians+in+2019.pdf/ba88e6ce-fb64-4abe-bb57-8a6f4c3dad22

This was a key point in the document, page 5, to focus upon:

American Depository Receipts
(ADRs) — these are exempt from U.S. estate tax because the
underlying share holdings are not U.S. corporations

Q: I have been considering increasing my position since the beginning of September. Coincidentally, this is when WELL price jumped a few times. I have been waiting for a pullback (6$ was my target), but this never happened.

Argument to increase a position at this time:
1) Valuation reaching 1 bln $ - this may attract big institutional investors.
2) The stock help up well during the recent sell off, meaning strong sentiment.
3) Shareholder meeting approaching, and an announcement combined with a positive news may move the price even higher.

Arguments against:
1) Valuation
2) Potential volatility

Can you comment on the valuation for this stock? How does it compare to stock with similar risk profiles (growing small-caps)? Does the premium justify prospects in your opinion? Do you agree with my arguments, and would you add anything to my summary? Thanks for your service.

Q: What are your thoughts about this company ? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
1.I don't have CSU. What would be your suggestion - Should i buy now or wait for Topicus to come into play?
2. Cash account/TFSA/RESP/RRSP?

Q: I see both Peter and Ryan are presenting at the Moneyshow. If we can't make the live stream, will a replay be available?

Q: In several of your answers concerning stocks that have good recovery potential you suggest 'industrials'. What would be your top industrial picks?

Q: I've encountered, in less than a week, no less than four articles in various media, predicting that the US dollar is going to 'crash' in 2021 with suggestions it could drop 35%-50% in the coming year. This one on CNBC is an example. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/23/us-faces-dollar-crash-high-double-dip-recession-odds-stephen-roach.html

Obviously this would be disastrous to anyone with US dollar holdings or stocks in US accounts. What do you think of this? I know you're generally against hedged ETFs but do you think that might be a decent idea now for those wanting to hold US stocks?

Q: Could you please offer some guidelines on how to execute an averaging up strategy, ie when to initiate, pyramidal buying ratios, stop losses, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Q: When taxpayers start paying in 2021 and beyond, for all the gov't covid-19 relief programs, will it be in the form of higher income tax brackets, or a return to a 75% inclusion rate on capital gains tax?
Is there a Federal budget coming this fall?

Q: Three questions please,
1 - ONEX - BUY, SELL OR HOLD FOR INCOME.
2 - FSZ - IS THIS DIVIDEND SAFE FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS. DO YOU SEE ANY GROWTH.
3 - CU - YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS DIVIDEND KING.

Q: Hello
I have an 18% gain in BEP.UN in a non registered account. I received the spin out shares in BEPC. Is there any tax advantage in selling the BEP.UN shares and buying the equivalent BEPC shares? Meaning, despite the cap tax gain hit, will the future taxation in BEPC be more advantageous over BEP.UN?

Also I recently bought GOOG C shares maybe by mistake. Is there any advantage to sell them and buy the A shares instead?

Thanks
