Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning I would like to know your thoughts on Ateyy

Q: Conspiracy Theory???
For decades I have heard and read that JPM, as a bullion bank, has an enormous inventory of silver bullion actually owned by the firm. This is in addition to the bullion they store for other parties making a nice fee. Further, it is suggested that JPM backstops other institutions that may require an infusion of bullion to meet an emergent demand. ie. The London Metal Exchange. Fortunately, this rumour was what motivated me to choose JPM as my US bank stock a 2+ decades aqo.
I have searched JPM's 2004 Annual Report (330+ pages) in vain looking for some record of massive silver holding which would show up as a major asset on the Balace Sheet. As the price of silver has appreciated I would expect that this growing value would be reflected in the financial statements.
Can you explode the myth or confirm any of the above?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Good morning;

I am doing some rebalancing of my portfolio. In light of my views on world events over the next 3-5 years I am looking for the top 3 "Consumer Defensive" stocks. I believe there to be risk in the US dollar over this period so would appreciate your recommendations on 3 Canadian and 3 American consumer defensive stocks and what makes them a consideration.

As always, thanks for your insights!

Q: Given US and Canadian currencies and markets, what is your recommendation for the purchase of US stocks (ie GOOG) and ETFs (ie QQQ). Would you recommend buying them in Canadian or US currency for a 32 year old who will hold them for an RRSP investment?

Q: Please rank from best to worst at current purchase prices (for growth). Please also indicate if they would be a buy, sell or hold based on Thursday's prices.

Q: Please comment on earnings and the 15+% share price drop.

Q: This company seems to be financially stable and I am wondering what your thoughts are regarding a speculative purchase. I note that Sime Armoyan has a big chunk of this also.

Thanks!

Q: Good morning I would appreciate your opinion on QSR latest results. I just finished reading through and although growth seems slow it was heading in the right direction. I am wondering your opinion on the different segments (brands) and their push into international markets and BK revamp. Do you think this could be the start of expansion and the bet that Doyle can turn this business around like Dominos? I have been a long time holder and recently been wondering if i should sell and move on or stay the course. Thanks

Q: Hi There,
If I'm looking long term, and want to keep things really simple, what would you suggest as the best international ETF(s) to pair with an S&P 500 ETF such as TPU.TO? And do you see a drawback to leaning into the S&P 500 as it reaches new highs?
Thank you

Q: Firstly, thank you for your services.
Please list “in order” your top 10 US and top 10 CND growth focussed stocks, long term hold.

Entry prices for the top in each.

Thank you

Q: Clearly the market wasn't happy with last week's Q2 results but some analysts (eg. RBC) think there may have been an overreaction.

As always, would appreciate your viewpoint.

Q: Hi 5i!

Can you comment FI earnings? What do you think of its long term perspective and of the drop since this winter?
