Investment Q&A

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

Q: Anduril Industries is a private defense technology company that focuses on developing autonomous systems and AI-powered platforms for military applications.

Supposed to IPO in 2026. Would you consider buying it then?

Any other similar public company's worth investing in?

Thank you.

Q: I have earmarked about 2% of my portfolio to invest in a new position, and I am primarily seeking growth for this particular investment. I am looking at NBIS, PNG and ZDC as candidates. My portfolio is fairly diversified, so for the purpose of this query, sector exposure need not be a metric upon which these companies should be compared. I have read the recent posts in the question forum on each company, and comments on each one have been favourable. Could you provide a ranking of these companies, and if one needed to be chosen, which one would it be? As always, I appreciate the insight you provide: thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: Just a follow-up to Les’ question about finding total returns for a company. Doesn’t the 5i interactive graph just show the percentage increase in share price, not total returns including dividends?

Q: Can you discuss the potential risks / concerns owning VUSB:us. US interest rates changing effecting the stock price. ect. Would the same risks apply to ZST.L? I own these in both RRSP and TFSA accounts. Should US dividend stock held in an RRSP and not a TRSA account?

Thanks

Q: As a followup to an earlier question on Maple Leaf Foods of August 26th is it likely the announced spinout of their Fresh Pork business will have tax implications for the shares i own in the form of Capital Gains? When new shares are issued when are shareholders typically advised of tax implications such spinoff would have for tax planning purposes?

I have owned shares for many years and previously worked in this Industry and companies in the Meat business typically display slow growth and cyclical price swings so am looking for an opportunity to dispose of part of my position. Would your inclination be to sell ahead of the issue of new shares or wait for the new shares and sell subsequent to the split?

It was always my belief that the only way to get this stock moving would be an outright sale or go Private plan by some of the controlling family. At current share prices would you agree neither look probable at this time or are the underlying reason for this re-organization of Maple Leaf?

Q: I was looking through the questions about this company, as the valuation seems out of whack. The current Orca Financials (as of June 30 2025, on their website), state that there are about 19.8 MM shares outstanding, which at the current share price ($3.56 CAD) suggests a market cap of $70.5 MM CAD. In one of your earlier discussions about Orca, I saw a Market cap quoted at $155 MM. Am I missing part of the math on this one ?

Q: CDN margin account
I’m up 126% on NEO which is 14.7 % of portfolio.
US margin account
I’m up 187% on OR Royalties which is 85% of portfolio (total of two stocks).
TFSA
I’m up 78% on EIF; 34% of portfolio
I have enough capital loss carry forward to offset 100% of the accrued gains in the CDN and US margin accounts. What is your advice? Click on the “sell” button for the two margin account stocks? What about the TFSA EIF stock? Should one sell, trim down?
I would appreciate your comments/guidance.
Thank you

Q: Good morning,
I was looking to buy some of a Canadian telecom stock and was wondering if you had any preference between Rogers, Telus, and Bell?
Thanks

Good morning,

Follow up to my previous question. Which company do you think would perform best in a higher inflation environment? Also do you think the the Telecom sector could perform well in an inflationary environment and what other sectors besides hard assets would perform well.
Thank you very much.
