Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning, Today you recommended XTC as a small cap buy. I know you have liked it in the past but.... share price chart is dreadful, recent results were not good and the sector is out of favour. Is it just a straight value play or is there a new catalyst?
Also, are they more affected or less affected by trade tensions/tariffs than MG, MRE and Linamar? Thanks for the great service.

Q: I have a philosophical question on bond allocations in a portfolio. Simply put, why would anyone put money in bonds or bond funds in the current interest rate environment. A high bond allocation made sense in the 70's and 80's but for the last many years the returns have been very small. I realize that the bonds won't fall in a recession, but is that worth the high lost opportunity cost compared to say, holding banks or utilities. What bothers me is the almost universal acceptance by advisors that a bond allocation is mandatory. As a nerdy engineer I get suspicious when ideas are presented as fact with minimal apparent logic. I can see why bonds are somewhat attractive to advisors as the low volatility keeps clients less "edgy" but is it really the best long term strategy under the current conditions. I am in the fortunate position that I do not need to make large withdrawals and I can usually plan ahead. Why would I need bonds?

Q: Given its recent momentum in spite of current geopolitical risks, do you think this would be a good time to get back into MTY?? Also, would you consider it to be fairly defensive stock? Thanks

Q: Hi, Thank you for your timely commentary on the company (and the secondary offering). We bought an initial position (1.75%) today at $49.39 and $50.22. Is it fine to Top up to 3%, right now? Looks like, you like the company. Could you please be kind enough to provide some more details as to its growth trajectory, revenue model (recurring/licensing etc), competition, debt, acquisitions approach and target market etc.. Which are the closet comparable companies in Canada and US? What is insiders/institutions ownership? What will be a possible 5i rating and will you own it in the Growth portfolio today, if had cash? Too many questions, so please deduct credits as you wish. Thanks

Q: Hi guys

Most ETFs I kind of understand what they are using to mimic an index, and to create the holding. With this ETF trading off the VIX wondering how they do this? What do you think of this as a short term holding. It just seems the VIX should have much more noise, given Trump, uncertainy, and trade issues, yet you wouldnt know it. Your thoughts?

Thanks
Stuart
