Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, could you suggest a couple each of your fav. small, mid and large cap biotech stocks and why you like them.

thanks, M

Q: What would be your general guidelines in investing in private equity and private credit. And/or, if the question exceeds the scope of this plateform or expertise please refer to sites or books that could be of interest.

Thank you for your excellent expertise

Q: Can you list companies that are in the field of anti-drone activity or defending civilian areas against drones? Is this an investable theme or have the moves of the above companies already reflected some of what we are seeing in the news from Europe? Are there any companies that deal specifically with countering this threat and if so, are they already overbought? Hoping for niche companies in the specific area described but if the listed stocks address this, please explain how and if that makes them a buy. If someone is developing or has great tech to handle this issue it would seem they are primed to get lots of orders. Thanks

Q: Ref Paul’ question about MAW120 on Oct 7. I’ve seen this article in August:

Q: Why APM price keeping falling in recent two days while gold price is surging ? Thanks a million.

Q: I've held PFZ for a long time in my RRSP (now RRIF) and my US account. The 10-year return is low. Is there an ETF that could replace this security in my US account and RRIF?
I'd like to improve the return and understand if there are any negative tax impacts.
Thank you.

Q: Could you give me a bit of history for PNG? Has it signed any large contracts recently? Where does most of its revenue come from? Are the tariffs having an impact on their revenue? Is there much competition in North America and who are its competitors ?
Would this company be worth buying now or would you choose one of its competitors given its small size.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Kraken Robotics seems to draw a lot of attention, over past 2 days, specially following Mr Carney's announcement about increased defence spending/submarines.

Do you view the stock's rise to current levels sustainable in near term, with 35% gain within a short span of 10 days, with no company specific news ? ( With volume 4X average )

Is the stock expensive now on Price/PE basis, considering its unique technological moat and expected growth over coming years ?

Would you recommend, we add to a 1% initial position ?

Thank You

Q: Wondered what you guys thought of this stock. Is it a buy?

Q: I am under water in these three companies, should I keep holding them or should I sell them.

Q: When does Zedcor report next earnings

Q: CIFR Thoughts on this company? Are there any catalyst that would justify starting a position?

Q: I have been trimming a few positions in my TFSA as they've gone up quite high and now I have $40,000 USD and $4000 cad. I've been waiting to buy certain stocks on the dip and will DCA some of these funds into market but I was thinking I should put it in some type of interest receiving liquid option in the meantime. What you you recommend? I was thinking Cash.to for canadian dollars? SGOV for USD? I believe Sgov would trigger that 15% dividend withholding tax in the tfsa but it's better than swapping to cad and back to usd cuz my instituation charges i think 1.5% each time. Are there any other options you would recommend? for liquidity I can sell and have access same/ next day? thnks!

Q: If an investor books a large capital gain (and has no losses to offset it), how should it be handled from a tax perspective? Is it OK to wait untill filing to pay the tax on it? Or does the CRA want its cut right away? Thanks.

Q: Please provide your thoughts on this company. Would you invest in this at this time or, do you have a more promising selection in the silver category?

Q: Do you still like these companies here or have they become too highly valued? And which of the two is the better bet?

Q: Would you please compare these two ETFs. Is one ‘better’ than the other?

Q: Good day. Can you comment on the purchase by AEM of East Detour from Wallbridge. Was this predictable?

Q: I have owned MAW120 for almost 10 years, and upon looking at its recent performance, I can't find any reason to continue owning this fund. Can you?

As per Mawer's web site (https://www.mawer.com/funds/performance) it shows results as of June 30, 2025 versus its benchmark:

MAW120 1yr: -0.9%; 3 yr: 9.8%; 5 yr 7.7%
Benchmark: 1 yr: 15.8%; 3 yr: 19.6%; 5 yr 13.7%

For the one year period ending June 30th it lost money! It's benchmark earned 15.8%. It has > 50% invested in the US market. I don't see how they could lose money over that time period. Can you explain how it could lose money when markets in US, Canda and Europe over that period were generally good. Even their International Equity fund made 23.3% over the same 1 year time period.

I will be "firing" them. I have sold 1/2 today, and will sell the other 1/2 next week. I would like to invest in the benchmark for this fund, or something as equivalent as possible. Can you suggest 3 ETFs for me to buy for global equity exposure that have significantly better performance than MAW120.

Thanks,
Paul
