Q: I'm down >50% on LMND in my TFSA account, and while the loss itself doesn't alarm me, I'm doubting the future potential of their business model - especially with rising rates. I'm considering selling this position and re-investing into another company that I'm also down significantly on (RDFN) but that I have higher conviction in. Would love to hear your thoughts? Thank you.
Q: I know that you have been generally positive on IFC. Would you be comfortable at this point initiating a position for steady growth and income. A brief explanation would be helpful.
Q: Hi Peter and Team
Looking to trim / take losses and reinvest for growth in a personal account. Both WELL and TDOC (my only Healthcare holdings) are significantly down. I don't need to take losses but would you suggest holding on or selling and moving to another name ?
Thanks for all the great advice
Peter
Q: Peter; Maybe I’m overthinking this but if we have a major geopolitical event( war ends,) and oil drops substantially, how will large oil stocks funds all exit? I know you don’t like stop losses but how else could a retail investor protect gains? Should we be selling off bits on the rallies? Thanks. Rod
Q: I just received a few hundred shares of an ADR, Australia-based Woodside Energy Group WDS-N from a spin-off of my BHP-N holdings. I must admit it caught me off guard as to the event. There is not a lot of data available on this Perth-based energy firm. It appears to of had a decent run lately. What I am interested in is the fact that its geography in South Asia, an area I have not really had much exposure to. Is it a valid company (in your view to hold for the near term?) The purpose would be purely for speculation. I feel oil and gas firms are near the peak in pricing so do you think selling is a better option. Thanks JIM
Q: Would you comment on REITS as a class/catagory of investments --- and without limiting the generality --- the aspects of liquidity and taxation?
Appreciative of your good comments
Q: Federal Liberals are reviewing tax treatment of residential REITS claiming "(REITs) are increasingly trying to amass large portfolios of Canadian rental housing, putting upward pressure on rents,” the announcement states, “We will put in place policies to curb excessive profits in this area"
Clearly such a restriction would not be good for REITs but as TCN is the only name I own in this space could I expect it to not be impacted?
Q: Which 5 stocks from your growth portfolio and/or balanced portfolio would you start buying today for a TFSA for a five year hold (for an investor currently not owing any). Thanks.
Q: Good Day to 5iteam: Would you consider this fund a good candidate to crystallize a loss or a better to hold if other options are available? Down about 9 to 10%. May consider buy back in 30 days but in no hurry for the income I bought it for in retirement. Tks. Larry
Q: What is your opinion of these equities, in general and in the current environment? Are there any which you would consider for a long-term hold for income/growth? Or sell?
Q: When a Stock/ETF gives a yield percent, how do you calculate payout? Is it a percent of the present stock price, number of stocks times that percent?
Q: CTC.A: I notice that you are not a fan of this company? Well, I looked at the 30 year graph this am., and, all I can say is: I wish I had bought it way back then. I did buy it in 2020 for $96.00. Always wanted to own, but always seemed expensive. I did this exercise for all my "dividend grower" stocks which make up the core of my investments (including all the banks which I own); and guess what? The graphs go up from left to right - so, my returns are huge without including all the dividends which I reinvested.
I'd love an analysis to support your negative view please. Look, will the internet and ordering on-line I can see why you might thing this way; however, CTC just keeps chugging along.
Q: In your answer to a recent question (Myron -June2) you rank MEG relatively low on upside potential, apparently well below CNQ and SU. Could you explain a little, please? thanks Jim
Q: Good Morning,
I would like your opinion on what you see as the next multibillion growth industry? Is it the Metaverse, EV charging industry, or is it something else?
Thanks
