Q: The TSX solidly outperformed the SPX from early 1999 to early 2009 and the SPX solidly outperformed the TSX from then until early 2020 and we’ve been chopping around since.

Is it time for the TSX to outperform the SPX again, for at least a few years? Is this essentially a question of how strong will tech be going forward?

I noticed that during the TSX outperformance from 1999 to 2009 oil went from $11 to $140. So maybe it’s also a question of where oil is going.

Q: Novo Resources seems to be well-positioned after selling its New Found Gold stake and retiring its Sprott obligations with the proceeds. The treasury

Could you please give your outlook for the company, including a ballpark
estimate for the carrying costs of the big land package in Australia? Thank you.

Q: Could I have your thoughts on JWEL please? Do expansion opportunities into the US (purchase of Nutrawise) change your previous coolness on the stock at all?

Q: Hi 5i,

Following Eric Nuttall's appearance on Market Call on March 4th this year, I invested roughly equal amounts in the above six oil and gas companies on March 7th. (Coincidentally, another 5i member posted questions about the exact same six companies that day.). As of yesterday's close, the results have been a mixed bag, ranging from TOU up 52% to TVE down 25%. Overall, though, up about 6% (not counting dividends).

My investing style is generally to buy and hold quality companies for the long-term, while this oil and gas play was intended to be a bit more of speculative. What is your current opinion of these six companies? Would it be wise to sell any now?

Q: I am looking for advice on how to handle the small cap growth stocks in my TFSA. I find it more difficult to sell a stock rather than to buy it as either greed or ignorance or dismissal of all the relative facts get it in the way. For example , I rode EGLX all the way to nearly $10.00 only to watch it fall to its present price of my initial cost of around $ 1.90. The market was strong, it recently listed in the US, ; things were great but then they weren’t. I need some non emotional, logical tools with which to make selling price decisions on these more volatile stocks. A suggestion of some technical measurements for these types of stocks would be helpful.

I have considered a stop loss formula of say a certain % increase would trigger a certain % stop loss order. For example at a 50% increase I would implement a sell order at 10% below current price or a 100% increase ( to be so lucky again) would trigger a sell order of 20 %. Being human I would probably kick myself if watching a 100% gain ( actually only 80% if I used this formula )go on to a 150 % gain, only to be stopped out at a much lower price !

Thanks
Derek

Q: With todays NR, can I have your opinion on this company going forward. Would you initiate a position in it today. Thanks

Q: Five years ago MFC was around $25 a share. Now shares are just under $23 a share. Not great!

Considering selling MFC and buying TSU thinking that TSU will outpace MFC in terms of future returns. Would you concur with this switch and if so, could you please provide some rationale for your views. Also would TSU be suitable for an income oriented account? Thanks.

Q: When you recommend good dividend paying stocks should we assume that these stocks regularly (i.e. annually) increase their dividends unless otherwise noted?

Appreciate your insight.
