Investment Q&A

Q: Seen this stock drift down almost 20% in the last few weeks. I see they have earnings report in Mid March. Wondering if you have a good explanation for slide despite no obvious news. Not sure if it's tariff related. Your opinion of best of action. Eg Sell or wait for earnings report. Not a big fan of average down when rest of market is flat or going up. Thanks. Chris

Q: Could you please help me understand the Capital Gains process for VBAL and how it affects my holdings. Actual amount is 0.337068 /share or 1%
"These amounts are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, which will be re-invested and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change."

Thank you,
Mike

Q: So I am looking at a high yield Canadian issued ETF with distributions in USD. Growth is secondary to yield as it it is to partially offset the increasing costs of wintering in Florida. Is the price of HYLD.U.CA ( $14.75 ) in CAD or USD ; likewise what currency is the distribution ? I understand this ETF has 1.25 leverage.

Would this ETF met my goals of high income from stocks representing the broad US market?
Are there other products that meet my goals ?

Thanks. Derek.

Q: Good morning!

Would you be comfortable buying in on POWL at its current valuation? A half position and watching for momentum to change following its decline on deepseek etc.

Please provide your thoughts and entry price.

Thank you.

Q: I am looking to invest in these 4 names for my father after he sold his house. He is 92 so I would like something as 'risk-free' as possible, just income needed. Thinking 100k for each, just wondering about any risks involved aside from interest rate risk and inflation risk.
Thanks!
Scott

Q: Can you provide comments on just released results. They appear ok but pre market SHOP is down sharply. Did results meet your expectations? How do you see stock performance going forward?

Q: Hi,

I've held WCP for several years and, while the divvy is nice, I'm looking for more growth than what it has shown me.

Or am I looking at this stock wrong? Is it really an income play?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: What is your opinion on this stock, doesn’t seem to be in your data base.

Q: If one believes that the market is reaching its peak and may trade down or sideways for the next year or two, what do you think of this ETF. Conversely, how would you expect it to perform in an up market? Thanks!

Q: ENB-T has outperformed PPL-T in past 12 months. ENB has P/E of 21.81 and dividend yield of 5.94% where as PPL-T has P/E of 16.00 and dividend yield of 5.27%. Is it a good idea to switch at this price based on Sell high and Buy low? Beside these two metrics, is future earning growth of ENB-T makes it outperforming other pipeline stocks listed on TSX? Your views please.
Thanks

Q: Which one of these would be a safer long term hold for growth and dividends for a retired senor?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I notice that you often state that stocks did well under Trump's first term.

With all due respect, Trump 2.0 is, in my own view and the view of many others, Trump 2.0 is a different 'kettle of fish' than Trump 1.0. One needs only to look at both Canadian and US media to see the complete chaos that Trump is causing on both sides of the border.

Thanks.

Q: What is your opinion of the growth profile at The Fresh Factory?

Q: Hi Peter,
My new strategy this yr is to buy growth stocks that have done public offerings to finance future growth in 2025/26. Can you think of any other names to add to this list?

Q: Hi,
I read with great interest Lisa and Peter’s questions and your answers on Feb. 10 about Trump, US holdings and economic warfare.
Given Trump is now making noises about how some US debt could be fraudulent, and the US may not owe as much as the Treasury reports, I see new risks.
For instance, as part of his economic warfare against Canada, could he by the stroke of a pen declare Canadian held US debt is fraudulent to put pressure on Canada to become the 51st state? Further, could he freeze Canadian held assets in the US (securities, real estate, business assets, etc.) to further pressure Canada?
Along Lisa’s line of thought, does it indeed make sense to sell some US assets and re-buy in Canada?
Final question: if I hold US cash in a US dollar account in a Canadian domiciled bank, is it safe from Trump’s potential ravages?
(Please take multiple credits.)
Thank you, Michael

Q: I would appreciate your comments on these ETFs [plus Capital Group Growth which did not register- CGGR] - my earlier question was too broad. How to go about assessing them one against the other. Would appreciate guidance on which ones are keepers for long-term hold. How would you evaluate them. Thanks

Q: Your opinion on the quarter results coming on the 14th. A few analysts feel the $65.00 dollar area is hit its peak for the time being. Your thoughts. cheers
