Q: Hello,
You recently stated that you were averaging down to pick up some more SU. I went in to read your report on it as I currently only have ENG. However, there doesn't appear to be one. Is that correct? There's been a lot of recent chatter about rising natural gas prices and with the recent increases in oil prices, I'm assuming your favourites currently are ENG and SU. Thank you.
Q: Hi team,
I am somewhat "perplexed" at how GOLD has been behaving lately.Would investors sentiment change if inflation was not as transitory as the Fed believes and purchase gold shares as a edge against rising inflation? In your experience as a company such as AR with a solid balance sheet and 15 months from their Magino mine coming into production, have larger cies purchased such "gems"?
Many thanks ,
Jean
Q: The markets pre-COVID were rising at a reasonable rate year to year, with the odd market downturn. Since March/April 2020 the markets have shot up and stocks are trading at much higher multiples than pre-COVID. Eventually, reality may kick-in. There are many companies trading at very high evaluations. If you look at the overall market (i.e. Nasdaq) you see an exponential growth curve for the past 18 months, definitely not sustainable and possibly overpriced.? I still buy stocks but sometimes feel that if the market turns around, it could be years for it to come back. (I am more concerned about companies such as SHOP, NVEI, TTD, LSPD, NVDA, TOI, UPST, ... all of which are great companies but if we overpay, payback could be much more than 5 years.) I thought same about Netflix, I was totally wrong and missed out on one of the biggest lifetime opportunities BUT there must be a point where the price is definitely too high. Are we overpaying? Will we regret this at some point? Your thoughts? Thanks.
Q: In the most recent edition of "Canadian Money Saver", you commented: "After many years of solid gains, the ride may get a bit bumpier next year." Black swan events notwithstanding, compared to today, where do you think the market will be at the end of 2022? Thank you.
