Q: Sorry for the long list, but that's my IT holdings and I need help to get to a more disciplined IT portfolio. About equal weight, except for SHOP which was owned and is currently on watchlist. Question 1- please advise a limited high conviction IT - does 5 sound about right? It would really help me if you could explain why these are chosen as I want to understand my investments. Question 2 - which ones to sell outright so that can redeploy funds? Any to hold for potential high growth potential?

Q: As they have moved to U.S. is there now a withholding tax on their dividends?

Q: This company was a recent top pick on BNN, the last question on it seems to be many years ago. The share price has come off pretty dramatically recently. Can I please have your latest thoughts on their prospects and current valuation?

Q: Friday’s meeting between Mark Carney and the Premiers promises to lead to increased spending and capital to build infrastructure related to natural resources, alternative energy and technology. There seems to be a vibe consistent with Brookfield visions and foci. Carney may in fact be a catalyst to moving the Canadian economy out of the current malaise. Skepticism is warranted but are there any specific stocks that we should consider in light of what could develop rather quickly?

Q: I've held Lockheed Martin (LMT) for 11 years and enjoyed a solid return of nearly 14% per annum, largely driven by the success of the global F-35 program, which has been a cornerstone of LMT’s revenue and earnings growth. However, with today’s announcement that Boeing has won the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter jet contract—potentially worth over $20 billion initially and hundreds of billions over its lifetime—I’m concerned about the impact on LMT’s future growth and outlook. The loss of this high-profile sixth-generation fighter program to a competitor could signal a shift in market dynamics, especially given LMT’s historical dominance in advanced fighter jets. How do you assess the implications of this decision for LMT’s long-term growth trajectory, particularly in terms of its Aeronautics division and overall market position? I’m considering selling my position due to this turn of events, though it would mean realizing a significant capital gain in my taxable account, and I’d likely reinvest in another aerospace and defense industrial, such as Northrop Grumman or even Boeing itself. Could you share your analysis of how this contract loss might affect LMT’s valuation and growth prospects, and offer your thoughts on whether selling now and reallocating makes sense for an investor like me seeking both growth and stability?I'm a retired investor and do benefit from the dividend growth of LMT. Please factor into your overall comments. Thank you!

Q: I am considering investing in this company as it appears to be one of the only companies in this sector that is growing even though it is not a big. Can you please give me your analysis on its prospects and position and advise if it is worthwhile long term investment,

Q: Morning Troops. This is more of a hopeful question than anything. It is now almost a certainty that we will be spending more on defence regardless of who wins the election. If it actually comes to pass that our country decides to ease up on defence procurement from the US and spend more at home, how are companies like CAE positioned to profit from this and do you see it happening? Cheers.

Q: On August 16 last year, High Arctic split the company into two entities (HOH and new HWO). For each share of HWO held, shareholders received one-quarter of a common share of HOH and one-quarter of a common share of post-Arrangement HWO.

I haven’t been able to determine how to apportion my original cost between the two. My RBC statement shows that they (RBC) attributed 100% of my existing cost to the new HWO but they attributed an addition $0.50 per share to HOH.

They have a generic footnote that says (re: HOH) “Part of or all of the Book Cost on this security position is unknown resulting in the use of market value… Please contact us to update the statement records.”

I would like to do that, but I don’t know what the amount should be.

On their website, HWO says,
“High Arctic Energy Services Inc. has determined that the fair market value [HOH] shares ... on August 12, 2024 is $1.755 per High Arctic Overseas Holdings Corp. common share”.

Does that mean I should (or could) use $1.755 as my cost per share of HOH, and deduct in from my cost per share of HWO? Other suggestion?

Thanks,

Q: Just a little more clarification on my question on GDXY . First what is a " synthetic call/write strategy " ? I suspect understanding that will help me understand the very large 32.5% yield ......And second the only GDX gold stock I can find is a 5 cent stock Goldex Resources Corporation ? Which I don't find encouraging for a purchase of GDXY . Could you elaborate on the relationship ? ..... Or if I have the wrong company point me in the direction of the right stock symbol ? .... Thanks again for your terrific service ......

Q: On March 20, (Market Call) a gentleman by the name of Reza Samahin on top picks had a company by the name of Impinj, Inc., the way he told it this company is a leader in product in information tags. I would appreciate if you would give me your view on this company. Would it be a buy or hold off purchasing.
Thank You for your services
