Investment Q&A

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

Q: With the “missed” earnings, if there was a sharp pullback tomorrow, at what price range would you be a buyer? Aggressive buyer? Would you wait a few days or weeks for it to settle before buying? Avg cost is $50 so I’m still nicely up but would like to add more to my position for a long term investment. Assuming you still the long term thesis on this story? Thanks!

Q: With oil and gas being so cyclical, how would one decide when to sell? Any specific indicators associated traditionally with the up or down in that sector?
I have SU and TOU right now. How do you think they will do in the next 6 and 12 months and 3 years, and why?

Q: Trying to understand recent moves of TFII. It continues to drift lower but analysts are posting reports with buy recommendations well over current price. Can you shed light on what, if any relationship, there is between stock price and analyst recommendations and target prices? I know its not a linear relationship but what?

Q: I don't understand. MRC does over $1 bil in rev, has only 11 mil shares, never issues more; yet pays almost no div, has a lousy ROE and the current stock price of $110 is almost as low as ever. Yet it has a tangible book value of $355, over 3x it's stock price. That's just weird. Why isn't the price much higher? Is it so badly run that no one wants to pay for that value? Help me understand the issue(s) here please. Thanks so much.

Q: I did increase lately the % of utilities ( stocks+ETF) in my portfolios ( up to 38%) , since 1) the entry price seems ok ,2) utilities should maintain long term dividends for revenue ,3) they should resist more than other sectors in case of bear or volatile markets,4) still have some capital appréciation potential.What is your point of vue ? many thanks..

Q: This is an extremely small position that I took a flier on as I believe helium sourcing from Canada would be a good opportunity in a market characterised by uncertainty and geopolitical risk (as >1/2 of helium comes from geopolitically-sensitive areas).

The stock in the last couple of weeks has just tanked - any reason for this? It's been so drastic the drop so I'm curious. I have <$1k invested but super curious to know what's happening.
