Investment Q&A

Q: Peter, I am interested in buying into Lightspeed and Boyd Group in 2 or 3 tranches. Both companies have earnings coming up in the next couple of weeks. What are the expectations and would you be comfortable buying at these levels, or prefer waiting until after earnings? Thanks so much.

Q: Can we have your take on results for these two companies?

Q: Hello team,

Is BUS even worth keeping. Some 14000$ after, I am down 87%. The problem is that it is in an RRSP account and I can wait, but I don't want another CXR. I can still stop another 2K loss on this dog. My real question is about their investability. Who would want this dog? How much debt they have and can they service it until this period is over in the market? What is their backlog like and can they get manage well and stay solvent? The stock was around 0.60$ prior to the recent events, can they make it back there once small caps are back in favour, or something else is fundamentally wrong with them? I can average down a bit from my 1.98$ which I am sure you would reject, but I thought I would ask anyway.

As I said, BUS is in my RRSP and I can wait, but I want to hear your non-emotional assessment and be a forward looking investor instead of clinging to where I was before.

More than two thousands thanks!

Q: Hi guys great job again.
I have about 5% of lspd in my tfsa and 2 % of bldp. I have noticed that lightspeed as been doing well this past week my concern is since all restaurants are still closed, i know that they have plenty of money but how long can they survive no one as a clue when restaurants will re-open and i believe less people will be dining out. Your thoughts on this company please as should i still hold i have it at $32.75 per share or should i dump and just move on. thank you Wilson

Q: I currently own DSG,KXS,LSPD,OTEX,PHO,SYZ. I know you took out SYZ some time ago and can't find what you replaced this stock with? I know you still follow SYZ and just wondered if you feel that there is a better stock than SYZ or would you continue to hold this stock with the other stock mentioned?
Thanks

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.

Thank for your great work. I have a full time job and receive T4. I am filing income taxes for some capital gain last year. I am wondering whether I can claim the membership subscription here as an expense to offset the capital gain. Where to fill the number if yes?

Thanks again,
Yiwen

Q: Looking to invest my CRA return in two of the above companies. I am well diversified, growth oriented and looking at a 3 to 5 year timeframe. Please rank the named companies with any appropriate comments.
Much appreciated as usual. ram

Q: Hi,
which two Canadian banks have the highest exposure to the energy sector? Same question but to the mining sector?
Thanks,
Dan

Q: I'm looking to start a new position in one of the above. They are both trading very close to each other in valuation. CN is bigger with more reach so I was leaning that way but wanted your take. Why would you go with one over the other? This would be in my TFSA.

(I feel like I have enough spicy growth names in my TFSA and am looking for something I can let sit for 20 years and not think about.)

Thanks

Q: Your comments on their recent results would be appreciated. Since I already own it, do you advocate, in light of the report, hold or sell, since I'm sure you don't advocate buying more. Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on BAM's move to help retail with a 5B investment. I'd imagine its only helping companies that are its tenants so that it may prevent some large vacancies. Are they taking equity in these retailers for lending them money? Didn't BAM do this in 2016 with Rouse and 2018 with GGP and both were bad moves? Struggling to see how this is a good move, retail is a nightmare and for good reason.

Q: Hi 5i,
I currently have shares in LSPD and RESN and looking to add two more tech oriented names, and can be either US or CAN$. Do you have two growth companies you could suggest to start new positions at current share prices, with the intention for a 5 year min hold?
Thank you
Terry

Q: Can you please comment on recent earnings. I was suprised the dividend was maintained. Do you see the 5 billion $ fund by BAM to invest in retailers a way for them to support BPY ? Thanks.

Q: You recently mentioned that it might be time to trim holdings in REAL because it has done so well. I thought your subscribers should be aware that following their recent results, analysts were unanimous in raising their forecasts and targets so this might further explain the strong performance of the stock. Stay safe.

Q: Good morning,
Just looking over the real dogs I own and Freshii stands out as one of the baddest dogs of all (I bought it at around $9.00 a few years ago immediately after the investment arm of a certain bank had touted it as an outperformer destined for twice that - within a week it fell 50% and it's just kept right on falling) which leads me to ask: based on the available information what do you see for Freshii over the next 3 years or so? Has it got any future prospects worth waiting for at all, do you think? (My holding is in a reg'd account and is now worth very little so selling doesn't help with taxes and won't free up much cash to put elsewhere - I'm asking more out of interest than out of thinking I can actually accomplish anything with this cur.)
Thanks!
Peter
