Investment Q&A

Q: With gold lagging as bitcoin continues towards the heavens, with someone with the common sense of a Josh Brown as well as the mavens of Berkshire selling their Barrick, with a spike in long term rates and a weaker US dollar, and finally with a potential breakdown in gold being close according to technical analysts I've heard, what is your opinion on 1. where the price of gold might be headed over the rest of 2021 and 2. whether the strength of its hedging power may be waning and 3. whether your opinion that bitcoin needn't be part of a portfolio has changed and 4. whether perhaps a move into a combination of silver and some crypto might provide a better portfolio hedge at this time versus gold. Thanks as always for your thoughts - Ken

Q: Would you be comfortable starting a long term position in Nuvei?

Q: Hi Peter,

Please recommend a basket of small caps (7-8 names) that are looking attractive today. Long term growth, medium to high risk. Would you initiate new positions in any of the noted names?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Please comment on the recent financial results for 2020 and the change from a holding company to an operating entity. Thank you.

Q: I had been waiting for awhile for xbc to correct before taking a position. Got tired of waiting and watching it continually climb. Took a small position at $10.60ish and of course now I am seeing the correction I was waiting for. I added a bit more at $9.03 but now it’s down almost another $1.00.
Is there any news accounting for this?
Is your longer term thesis still positive?
Would now be a good time to add a bit more or is there more downside to come?
My overall position is still quite small relative to my whole portfolio and its in my TFSA and I don’t need the money.

Q: Hello,

What do you think of these ETFS? And how much of ones portfolio would you suggest? I was thinking 1%.

Q: Hi there,

Do you think we are closed to the beginning of a sell off/correct, or the end? Also, do you see this as a good opportunity to start a position in ARKK (~$135)?

Thanks!

Q: Unity software was recommended earlier this year as one of your top US growth stocks. It is now down over 40% from it’s high. I’ve been watching but never bought. Would you still rate this as one of your top US growth stocks. And with the recent pull back what would be your top US growth stocks currently.
I’m a long term member and thank you for getting me into numerous growth stocks since 2014 which I would never have bought and which provided handsome returns. So many thanks for being there for us little guys.

Q: What are your thoughts on buying 1-2% of CGGZ? Would you recommend it be placed in a TFSA for the high growth potential, or in a non-registered account for potential capital loss, or to not buy it all? I am not risk adverse since I still have 10+ years until retirement.

Q: does one have to use cents when doing a tax return or will .00 be ok? Thanks

Q: Hi team,
Being overweight in the tech sector, which ETFs of my present portfolio (above) would you suggest to drop either because they are too similar or not representing strong growth ?
Which of these ETF you would consider « Buy and forget » type ?
In addition, I hold the following tech stocks: TOI-T, CRWD-Q, NVDA-Q, TTD-Q, LSPD-T, ENPH-Q, QCOM-Q, SHOP-T, APPS-Q, SEDG-Q. As I need to raise cash, is it better to sell ETFs or individual stocks and which ones ?
Please use credits as you see fit.
Grateful for your attention,

Jacques IDS

Q: You last commented on ING in May of last year. I am down substantially on this stock and would appreciate your updated views on the merits, if any, of holding on.

Q: I have been fortunate to have made 300 per cent with Go Easy, is it time to trim and buy into Air Canada or WYNN with the potential rebound or simply run with GSY? Thanks
PS I’d have never known about GSY if it weren’t for your stellar recommendation and advice.

Q: A blogger I have followed for some time always warns his readers about gold and silver option expiration on the Comex as he did for Tuesday's expiration. Far more often than not the metals experience downside pressure, sometimes significant. Can you explain why option expiration invites such downside volatility?

Q: Some time back I was looking at buying either Linamar or Magna. Sadly, I went with Linamar. It has gone up, but no where like Magna. At this point, the outlook for Magna still seems very positive; where does Linamar go from here? I feel like I missed the boat on Magna, or would a switch still be a good idea? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi team,
I am looking to add some new money to a tfsa. It looks like there have been some sizable pullbacks and leading stocks from some of your CA and US favourites...could you please suggest three of each that you might advise investing in at this point?
I already have sizable positions in TFI and GSY.
Thanks as always!

Q: Hi gentlemen,

is there a way to buy the snp 500 on the tsx? Also, what is your favorite index/etf for exposure to foreign stocks?

Thanks
