Investment Q&A

Q: Based on your prediction that small caps may do better than large caps in 2026, which of the above do you think are ready to giddy up ie: best chance for a 12 month return > 15%. Thank you

Q: What would your top 5 copper stocks in North America in order be?

Q: TRI is hitting 30-month lows. Do you have a sense of where the floor might be? Is there anything specific to account for the sharp reversal since last July?

Q: WHY IS TRI CONSTANTLY GOING DOWN WHILE THE REST OF THE MARKETS ARE INCREASING

Q: Could you please rank these companies from from most to least desirable for a new position:

GRID, TRI,ENS, STN, WSP, PSN, URI, KRMN, PNG, CECO, AXON

Q: Hi Peter
I asked about the defence stocks . Would you consider these two appropriate at this time . Am I better off with RTX or
AVAV at this time .

Q: My grandson owns these stocks and has some money to invest. What stocks would you suggest he add? What is he missing to have a well balanced portfolio?
Thanks for the great service.
Dorothy

Q: What Canadian company’s would benefit from more defence spending
Thank you

Q: Do you have a favourite momentum ETF. Global or US?

Q: At current levels do you think TOI presents a good entry point for a long term holding? Alternatively, do you think GLXY may be a good option for a more hands on holding?
The context is a TFSA account where losses should be avoided and the goal is to achieve above market returns. i.e. the alternative would be a market ETF.

Q: What are your thoughts on these for a retired investor looking to enhance yield over standard banking and insurance holdings. I'm thinking to swap part of my banking/ insurance holdings over to enhanced yield.

I see from past questions that you're not fans of split shares. What are the risks, when do these stocks work well, when are they at risk, and are there any of these or others that you think can be bought for a partial position in my banking/ insurance portfolio.

Thanks!

Q: Morning
Please rank these 3 in terms of buying opportunities and dividend. I own all 3, and want To add to 1
EIF. T. CNQ
Thank you

Q: Hi,

I have $50,000 to invest in my TFSA for 2026.

Could you provide your top 5 ETFs to invest in for US/Canadian, Top 3 foreign ETFs. and Top 3 dividend ETFs.

Holding for approx. 10 years. Risk level Moderate to high.

I have an ETF in SMH that has 108% ROI in the last 2 years. Would you advice on putting more cash into SMH?

Thank you

Q: My CNQ is down $1400 today. Is it time to replace it with a top up of CVX and XOM? Shoiuld NXF-B also be replaced? It may not seem to be affected by the Venezuela takeover as there are no Canadian companies being held. Please take as many credits as required.
As an addendum to my previous question, NXF-B may indeed hold Canadian oil co. Thus is it a sell now due to the Venezuelan takeover? If so please suggest a replacement. Eighty year old value dividend investor. I also gol CVX and XOM. Just add to those?
Thank you

Q: A few months ago, I purchased a small position in GLXY, in a TFSA.It is down about 40% and it is now well below 1 % of our overall portfolio. A current contribution results in some new funds being available. I am considering adding to GLXY or alternatively moving on to SVM. Dividends are not a priority, and the objective for this account is good growth, with accepting some measure of risk. .Which of these 2 do you think is the better route to go? Also, do you think the recent regulatory change in China regarding silver is an impediment for that company; if so, is there another silver play that you would prefer?Thanks so much for your excellent service.

Q: With Venezuela's action, Canadian Oil companies are taking a hit today. Is it a buying/adding in opportunity? I am considering adding positions to CNQ, PPL, TOU, and any other recommendations you may have.

Q: Happy New Year!

I am looking at where to deploy my TFSA contribution for this year and would be interested to hear your thoughts. My largest position is BN at close to 5% so I am thinking of adding to my smaller positions listed above. If this were your portfolio, would you add this year's $7000 to one stock, or add smaller amounts to two or three stocks? Or, would you only add to BN as it is still at a sleep at night percentage?

Thank you!

Q: Some copper stocks have increased significantly in the last 52 weeks. Is it too late to start a first/new position. What would be the preference from above list? Please list your own choices if it is not on above list.
Thank you for your service.
Albert

Q: I have owned BCE for 15 years and T (Telus) for maybe 10 years or less - combined $80K investments. Both are down for different reasons. I am up , including dividends a fair bit as I reinvest the dividends where opportunities present. Would you add to T at the current price?

Q: Re: Mayfair Gold Corp and Snowline Gold Corp

Watched an interesting interview with Darren Mclean who highlighted a couple of gold companies:
MFG (not listed on your database yet) and SGD.
He's the one who actually flew satellites over mining projects and read drill reports personally to decide whether projects were a "scam" or legit.

What drew me to this was the idea that Muddy Waters and Darren Mclean are taking long positions in these companies, despite their primary business being short sellers.

Here is the original article by Larry McDonald of the Globe and Mail, including the video link:

Wondering what your thoughts are on these two companies, especially as share prices have run up parabolically on SGD?
My interest would be in small speculative positions only.

Thanks and happy holidays.
