Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning I would appreciate your opinion on QSR latest results. I just finished reading through and although growth seems slow it was heading in the right direction. I am wondering your opinion on the different segments (brands) and their push into international markets and BK revamp. Do you think this could be the start of expansion and the bet that Doyle can turn this business around like Dominos? I have been a long time holder and recently been wondering if i should sell and move on or stay the course. Thanks

Q: I’d like your thoughts on Chipotle after their recent quarterly results. Comparable-store sales have now been flat or slightly negative for the past few quarters, mainly due to weaker traffic, even though the company continues to open a large number of new restaurants each year and expand internationally. At what price would you start to be interested in this company or you would avoid it simply ?

Q: EAT Reporting excellent 2nd Q results today Oct. 29) the stock is down 7.5%. Please go over the results and provide your opinion. Is this merely a case of a good stock in the wrong sector? It seems reasonably priced and I am tempted to buy on the down. Would you see it as a buy or wait until the sector improves? Thank you.

Q: CMG's recent decline has been significant. Will the interest rate cut lead to a rebound, or will recession concerns impact the restaurant sector? Is this a buying opportunity or should I hold?

Additionally, I wanted to thank you for recommending Nebius - the 5i metric was instrumental in my discovery, and I'm grateful for the insight.

Q: I sold SBUX to take a capital loss and bought CMG as a proxy. After comparing growth projections and balance sheets I am wondering if I should bother buying back Starbucks after 30 days or just keep Chipotle. SBUX looks cheaper but maybe cheap for a reason. Can you please compare the two and provide your thoughts as to which one would be better for a long term hold?

Q: I own both of these companies and i see a recent question that you rate QSR better for growth in the future over CMG. Look at the 5 year return of both of these companies and it is like black and white. CMG has been fabulous and no return from QSR, why i still hold QSR is only hoping that one day, one day, that something positive will happen. The only person that makes money on this company is the overpaid CEO.

Q: Hello,
Thank you for all your great information.
I am heavily weighted, between LIRA, CASH, TFSA in some of the magnificent 7.
NVDA - 10.6%, MSFT 8.73%, APPL 7.59%, GOOG 7.44, AMZN 4.15%
ETF's - VFV 4.97%, XLK 4.94, ZQQ 3.84
the remaining of my portfolio is split between banks, Brookfield co's and smaller growth stock.
My horizon is decent - and, as you can see, I consider myself an aggressive investor.
My question - I wonder if I should sell and move and if yes, where to move to? Some thoughts.
Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it.

Q: What would be your opinion of the 50 for 1 split to be voted on in June? I know these splits don't change the company but can help generate buzz with more retail investors seemingly able to buy more shares to form a meaningful position. My question would be do you think CMG have the same ability like a TESLA or Netflix which are two I can think of off the top of my head that split and then ran back up towards their previous pre split price.? thanks

Q: MTY or QSR: which best buy? I am thinking mild recession - maybe better price of entry later? I do not own any stocks in this group. Not sure I need to own? Not big dividend growers which is my mantra. Too many good blue chips avai8lable that are good dividend growers.

Q: Hi team,

Grateful if you could provide a list of your top growth stocks, ten Canadian and ten American, for the next 2-3 years, excluding “lottery tickets”, with short comments and a risk evaluation. Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Thank you for the good work,

Q: Good day,

Can I get your thoughts on these two companies? I hold them both, thinking in my food-lover, simplistic way that they are in a business that will always have demand. But as I read more about investing, other than brand-recognition, they really have no moat and I question whether they are good to hold long-term.

In general. I wonder if restaurants/fast food are an investable area? If so, how do these two rate? If keeping only one, which would you choose?

Thank you,
