Investment Q&A

Q: 3 questions about precious metals stocks.

With most gold/silver stocks now down roughly 20% - 25% from recent highs, do you think this is an opportunity to add to the sector if underweight, or is the sector rolling over and starting a downward trend?

Which do you think gold will hit next, $4,000 or $6,000?

If gold stays at around $5,000 and silver at around $80 for a long time are precious metals stocks cheap, expensive or reasonably valued at their current stock prices?

Q: A triple witching day is coming up this Friday. What impact do you think that will have on NBIS stock price?

Q: I'm looking to move on from BCE in a taxable income-seeking account after a trading gain as I don't think the long-term growth prospects are all that compelling. I already own Telus, Royal Bank and 3 pipelines along with CPX. Would you have a few recommendations for a decent dividend along with some growth to compliment my portfolio? Thanks.

Q: Why APM price keep declining ? Which gold stocks are good investment at the present time days ?

Q: US treasury bonds held by this fund have continued a downward trend, now at its 52-week low just under $13. Is this a good entry point, or is the risk profile too high and unpredictable due to the Trump factor?

Q: It appears MAXQ will lease one of its launch pads to the Dept. Of National Defence generating 20M CAD per year for 10 years. Presumably the money is contingent on MAXQ finishing the construction of a launch pad for DND to use! So has MAXQ published a completion date for one of their 4 intended launch pads? Any other details about the lease you think relevant or a high barrier? One other thing…I know MDA has a seat on MAXQ’s board but are they a controlling shareholder?
Thank you,
Jim

Q: Hi team,
How significant is today’s release that CLS had partnered Amd to help supply them with AI infrastructure? Seems to me this could be a big deal for CLS? That being said, the stock is only up slightly on the news. What’s holding CLS back from new highs right now other than just crappy market conditions (Iran war stability, tariffs ) ? Would you add to CLS today if a 4% position is already held?

Thanks,
Shane

Q: Hello! Thank you for all you do. Tax prep this year was an eye opener. I would like to simplify my life. I would like to simplify my US holdings for tax purposes by selling the individual companies an holding an ETF in Canadian funds which hold top blue chip US companies. I no longer want to keep record of exchange rates when buying and selling US stocks years later. Can you recommend some that have a low MER and a good yield?

Q: Can a cord has now settled it US problem and it's looking into the possible sale of the UK division. Stock is down a couple of dollars in the last couple of weeks. Do you believe this would be a good entry time. But it's your thoughts on this company.

Q: Being mostly a "dividend long term" investor ,I did not invest in tech stocks up to now, except for some specific etfs . Considering this kind of "switch" from tech to energy stocks in the markets,and new valuations of major US tech stock ,I just started to invest in this sector.What is your view versus the opportunities and timing for investing in major tech stocks actually ?

Q: These two companies have run up a bit but I wonder if they still fly under the radar in regards to the photonics advantage (light) over copper in the chip manufacturing industry. Have you heard much about this?
In looking at a semiconductor ETF like SMH for example I do not see these included as they tend to favor larger names.
Also not sure how much analysts have caught up to this story as a potential boost to these and other similar companies.

Q: Hi Peter
gold has dropped below 5000 and XGD is in decline
so is silver

I wonder what is the next support level of XGD , should one trim back and wait for a bottom to form?
thanks

Q: Their earnings report today borders on incredible. It looks like they will earn at least $80/share in the new 12 months, which means their PE is very very small and the stock seems very cheap. The only question I have is about their capex plans - they are building so much capacity (all over the world), all the way out to 2028, that I wonder when demand is likely to peak. Keeping in mind this is a cyclical stock, I don't want to get over my skis. I love it short term, but do you have any expectation of when the supply will be sufficient and margins will start to come down? I suspect fears about this issue is what is holding the share price down

Q: Hello, could you comment on BOYD earnings?

Many thanks
Stephane

Q: The controlling shareholders are active in the day to day and hold over 50 % of the outstanding shares.
It seems logical that they will want to retire soon.
Do you agree that a transition is near term likely ?
The stock is rising lately ?

Q: GLXY on TSX Delist on Mar 19.Received no instructions.I did not take any action.What happens now?will it automatically transfer to US? Txs for u usual advices & views

Q: I am wondering about your newfound enthusiasm for HME, and why this microcap is lately being recommended alongside stocks such as TOU, SU, CNQ and IMO. As recently as Jan. 29 in a reply to Thomas, your opinion was decidedly less positive about the stock and its prospects.
What has changed, that we should be taking a closer look at HME?

Q: My RRSP has a roughly 50/40/10 split between core compounders, defensive holdings, and income holdings. I will not need any of the money for at least five years. What do you think of the split? Could I please get your top stock and ETF recommendations for an RRSP today? Also, what do you think of FIE, ZRE, and covered call ETFs in an RRSP? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i, I’m selling Walmart and looking to buy four company’s in the consumer stapes area, two companies that are retailers and two that sell to the retailers. I’m looking for at least a two percent dividend, what do you think of Tgt and Mdlz and Nsrgy? TGT looks like it’s bouncing off a bottom. Also can you name a few companies that you would recommend.
