Investment Q&A

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

Q: Some of the higher risk, more speculative names you've expressed as being interesting have very high short interest:

TMDX: 42%
SOUN: 33%
WULF: 31%

How much would this impact your investment making decision and are there any extra considerations you take into account?

Q: My stock allocation for Canada and US combined is close to 90 per cent.
I’m very pleased with my portfolio growth and I have your team to thank for the advice and suggestions. In my portfolio analysis, your suggestion is for me to have 30 per cent allocated to international stocks. Since the vast majority of your advice and reports pertain to Canadian and to a lesser extent American stocks, how do I gain the expertise and suggestions having to do with international investing? Is it really a concern or can I accomplish steady growth without the full 30 percent international diversification? Thanks

Q: It’s time for me to rebalance my stock portfolio. What I usually do is figure the percentage that’s in each sector and I include the preferred shares in the sectors. Does it make sense to do this? Maybe preferreds should be part of the fixed income. Your thoughts on this is appreciated.

Q: Hello Team,

Would you sell full position in XYZ to buy HOOD? Would you buy now or wait for a pull back in HOOD? Say around $105? I am looking for real/stable growth over long periods of time.

Thank you for sharing your insight into these two companies.

Best,
Saeed :)

Q: We have held ABBV for the past five years in our two RRIF accounts. It is now a 4.1% position with a 120% gain. Is it time to take profits and move on, given that the dividend is now at a yield just around 3%. Are there better health care dividend growth positions? ETF's or single stocks. It is a solid company. Is it best to just keep holding.

Q: I have held BAM in a taxable account since the spin off.: position size of 1.65% and a gain of 109%. I also hold BN in both taxable and registered accounts: 2.97% position size and 60% gain. My aim going forward is to maximise growth. Is it a good idea to keep holding both or should I consolidate all into BN going forward? There are enough capital losses accrued to offset the capital gain on BAM if that is sold.

Q: Could you tell me aside from the fact that the Canadian market is/has been dominated by resource companies, why the volume of CNQ and SU for example is characteristically the highest on the TSX? While I have a fair bit of CNQ, I wonder what the high steady volume should be saying to investors now? Is it about good dividends, future price increases of crude, anticipation of the federal government major projects ...? Would you be loading up today on oil companies?
Many thanks.

Q: A couple of days ago I think VW released a video showing the performance of a Ducati motorcycle using a QS battery. The stock responded with a 20% increase on high volume. The stock gave up 10% the next day, but that’s OK. EV Motorbikes exist but they seem to be fairly small and slow. My question…do you think the Ducati is a powerful racing type of bike so it is reasonable to infer that QS’s battery is more powerful than the current battery technology?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
