Investment Q&A

Q: Has there been significant insider selling over the past 3 months?
Is the debt level sustainable?

Q: My question has to do with technical indicators that may signal bearishness. In particular, I'm looking at the "unusual short interest" in the mentioned ETFs. Some popular "influencers" indicate they hedge when a market turns downwards by shorting these ETFs. This, the logic goes, is a way to protect the downside without liquidating high growth holdings.

Right now, my intution is that there is a "de-risking" going on in the markets (away from high growth and speculative cyclicals to blue chips and large cap tech).

My questions: Do you see unusual short activity going on in these ETFs, is it a fair indicator of broader bearishness, and do you think the strategy of hedging by temporarily shorting these ETFs is sound?

Q: Which of these two stocks would you buy today for a long-term hold (if you could only own one)? Thank you !

Q: What do you think of the price point currently for a long term hold with high risk tolerance. Since the made it to space!

Q: For growth, would you buy 1, 2 or all 3...and which?

Q: I am puzzled by recent share-price movement downwards in homebuilders, especially given the alarmingly low interest rates. Are UShome builders likely to stay in the doldrums for more than a year , do you think? For example, DHI is profitable; has very low PEG (0.54%, I think); reasonably good cash flow; manageable debt &c., yet shares are going down. (Incidentally M/I Homebuilders, symbol MHO, is even better valued!)

My question however is only about DHI. Please give your views on what you think one should do with holdings in DHI if one wants to build a cash cushion to deploy when markets panic and sink. Please ignore tax consequences.

Q: EGLX seems to be in a big downtrend since April, why are investors selling the stock. Another 5% haircut today on good volume. Wonder if I should buy more, hold or move on. As always thanks for your insight. Anthony

Q: I realize that you have a generally favourable view of EGLX, but it seems overly extreme that the SP has declined more than 40% since 3 May. Any insight other than investors shunning small caps? A short attack?

Thanks as always.

Q: Peter; If PPL loses the IPL fight what do you think the stock would do ? Thanks. Rod

Q: Why no love for this stock? Looks inexpensive for the growth.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Team,
Three part question. Firstly, I know as professionals you do not recommend “winners” climbing to over a certain % of ones Portfolio. However, if early investors in Apple or shopify for example would of bailed ; some would not be millionaires now. Or in some cases , billionaires where the CEO’s are holding most their wealth in their company stock. How can one hope to land that “life changing trade”(1000% or more) if one keeps trimming eternal winners ? Does it not make sense if a person finds that “winning company” to keep holding of goals are set high?

Secondly..is GSY one of those stocks, if you were to choose the likelihood of a solid company with good prospects, to choose to be overweight in and aim for that life changing 1000% move over a 10 yr or so period? I ask this company specifically because I am overweight this company and this is my goal. (Up over 200% so far and metrics still make this stock look cheap to me)

Thirdly… if you were to speculate a few different companies, either US or Cnd as your “best guess’s” so to speak of having the likelihood of producing 1000% gains over the next 10yrs or so; what would they be? Thanks for your input and deduct credits as you see fit. Thanks

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently own the following in my RRSP account (weightings in brackets ) - PG (4%), TD (13.5%), BNS (10%), MFC (3%), ABBV (6.5%), PFE (12%), BCE (14%), T (14.5%), AQN (6.5%), BIP.UN (6%), and ENB (6.5%).
I want to reduce my exposure to TD, BNS, BCE, T and PFE to bring them in line with the others - can you suggest some names that will complement the portfolio, keeping in mind I am looking for Income with some growth - long term hold.
Thanks

Q: In a receent article in Barrons a 'new' sector called 'observability' was referenced. This is a fancy word for companies that provide third party mangement of IT infrastructure of I assume large companies. They touted Datadog and Dynatrace as opportunities although expensive on an EPS basis. Any thoughts on the sector and these stocks?

Q: Any further comments on this fund since the last comment in February?

Q: Please comment on the earning report. Big drop afterhours. Thanks a million.

Q: Since LAC has invested 6 million into Arena (AN). What is your take on this exploration company. I think it must have good prospects as both LAC and Gangfeng Lithium have invested in it. The number of shares has also probably risen. So how much risk is there in buying this company?

Thank you

Steve

Q: Are there any companies you like in the MIC space right now?

Q: This company has shown up in Loblaw's stores. Are they making any headway in other merchandisers and is there any profit in it for DVN. Thanks Harry.

Q: Hi Everyone! Me again. I have been listening to some financial podcasts and the discussion came around to a liquidity crisis which these folks are predicting may happen in the fall. Now taking this all with a grain of salt, what , in a nutshell , is a liquidity crisis and under what circumstances could this becoming our way??? Cheers again, Tamara

Q: What is the reason for the large drop today? Would you continue to hold here or sell? Thanks Clare
