Investment Q&A

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

Q: My Material's weighting is a little light and I am mulling over a purchase of LGO to balance out some gold stocks. I notice LGO's stock spiked in 2019 and then collapsed. Would you advise me that the spike, collapse and now climb-out is just a typical roller coaster Material company ride - ie the ride comes with the territory? In addition I am uncertain how much faith I should put into LGO's newish battery technology. "Green Technology" also seems to be another version of a roller coaster ride. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: MAGT After reading your earlier comments on the company, I got some interest and looked at the company's Investor Presentation and News etc at its website.
In one of the Slides in the Presentation, a page relating to 'Competition' had been deleted and a reference was made to the Preliminary Prospectus in Sedar, that I could not access. I have two questions:
1. While the past performance of MAGT is impressive, one needs to look at the future prospects. In this regard, we must know about the competitive mote this company has against others, if any. Do you have any information about the competition?
2. The top 3 executives own now 80% of the stock. Is there a possibility that they will unload their stocks, if stock price shoots up substantially. Also, how much one can trust on Jim Balsillie (former RIM founder) to stick with this investment.
Appreciate your reasoned comments and reply.
Thanks and regards
Antony

Q: I am looking for ETFs with reasonable dividends, safe (less fluctuation) and at the same time the ETF can have some potential upside if market does well. I could not think of a sector better than utilities. Any thoughts? Please let me know if you have a better sector/industry (including your recommended ETFs in that sector/industry).

What are your thoughts on these two (RNRG and XLU)?

A side question: How can I know my remaining credits for more questions?

Thanks,

Q: Hello,

If you were to compare between DOO and HZO which looks more attractive? Would you have a position in both or just one? Do they complement each other? I missed the 4x from COVID prices on both do they still have room to grow? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

Finally some good news re. Noront! Although Doug Ford never jumped on a bulldozer as promised, some long awaited interest in the Ring of Fire. Just wondering what you would suggest investors do in these situations; trading right around takeover price ($0.55) but it seems to me that mostly upside from here so better to hang on.

Thanks,

Steven

Q: Do you know management's financial predictions for the upcoming quarter? I believe the numbers are to be released next Tuesday August 3rd. I'm a shareholder and am in a minor loss position. I need to take more money out my RIF but thinking of waiting until after the release of numbers before deciding wether to sell or hold NVTA. I prefer companies with sterling managers and missing 8 quarters is disconcerting. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Can you speak to the class-action lawsuit filed against Coinbase?

What do you think of the future prospects for Coinbase? Their fees appear high relative to the competition, and the threat of commission free (or low fee) crypto exchanges looms large. Competitors, such as Kraken, are preparing to follow suit and go public. Is the Coinbase business model and continued growth rate sustainable?

Q: I have had CQQQ for quite some time and it has probably been cut in half over the last year and a half and continues to underperform.

XBI has a similar pattern to CQQQ (not quite as bad).

The stocks SEDG and APPS are underperforming the market quite a bit. I have all 4. Which ones would you be getting rid of? I usually wait for an uptick to get rid of securities but with CQQQ and XBI that doesn't seem to happen. When you get rid of stocks do you wait for an uptick or just get rid of them? Your help is appreciated as usual.

Q: Greetings - A few questions on JEPI - first in reviewing its 100 or so holdings the first several are equity linked notes - what are they, do they help returns versus individual equities and if so how - second, is this fund "better" than the BMO series of covered call more specific ETF's since the returns since this ETF began seem better with less movement to the downside - third there seems to be significant rotation every few months of approximately 15% of the holdings so that an active management component appears at play - any comment you have on this and the reputation of the listed managers - fourth is there another similar US or Cdn ETF that is comparable without a covered call strategy that you'd recommend with as diversified a set of holdings - any further issues you wish to comment on of course are appreciated - many thanks - Ken
