Q: Hi
I'm a bit confused over how to assess growth companies on a valuation basis. I understand you can use a PEG ratio to factor in future growth, but a lot of the growth companies out there have PEG ratios that are far above one. How then would I know whether a company is "undervalued"? Would you compare to peers in the same sector or compare to historical values? Is there a PEG ratio that you have in mind above which you would never invest?
Thanks!

Q: IDM Mining, traded on the TSX - V.

I don't own this, don't typically look into penny stocks and I've only recently been made aware of this company. However, IDM is surrounded by other projects with great resources (Bruce Jack, KSM Seabridge, Garibaldi) and they appear to have support of local communities and First Nations. Stock is trading at $0.07 and apparently have gold reserves at 7.53 g/t. The "Golden Triangle" does have some pretty incredible mineral deposits:

Q: Hi,
Since your comments are often extremely intuitive and helpful, I am keen to hear your thoughts on the new Communication Services sector in the US. As it will reclassify a few stocks I currently own, I am wondering about the potential effects, if any, of ETF managers rebalancing sector specific funds on some of the stocks involved. It has crossed my mind there might be a significant number of changes required on multiple ETFs, but am not sure whether this may affect stock prices, or would it just see increases in volume for a period of time? Is there an opportunity here for picking a few stocks, possibly growth ones, that may gain from the reclassification?
As always, we appreciate your insight.

Q: I’m 40 years old and I have a portion of my investments in fixed income ETFs. In a rising rate environment, should I reduce my fixed income exposure? Each fund is down about 4%, while my preferred ETF fund is up 10%.

Q: Not sure if this is in your area of expertise. If I expect to have capital gains taxes on death, should I consider permanent insurance? If so, should the cash value portion of the policy replace my fixed income exposure?
