Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I see dramatic price declines for most equities in this portfolio. I have never seen a report to sell them or reduce...just the fundamentals are OK ... don't worry. I find there is a repricing going on where PE's used to be 15-25 are now falling to 10-15.
A constant buy thesis based on Company earning fundamentals does not take the PE revaluation into account. Your thoughts?

Q: I am a long time subscriber to 5i and long time follower of BNN and one of BNN's best, David Driscoll, mentioned that he could see another 16% down-side on the S & P. Also, awhile back John Zechner mentioned that there are stocks that are like melting ice cubes. Sell them before they are gone. Your opinion? I was always under the understanding that it is one credit per question. Please clarify this. Thank you. Dennis

Q: Hi guys, my question is, do you think that these three companies would be good "sleep at night" stocks over the next five years, if not, could you mention a few that you think would be? I do realize that there aren't any " sleep at night" stocks these days though, thanks.

Q: Re: Growth vs Value in market downturn

How do growth stocks tend to perform during market downturns vs value stocks? Does one need to hold a bit of both? If one holds stocks of good companies but have premium valuations..what does one do in a downturn..wait for markets to pick up and do nothing? This is essentially what I am doing. Thank you.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: I see these companies are mentioned in today's Globe as being in precarious position! Due to negative EBITDA.
These are some of your favourite sticks, no? I own GUD, BB and FM. Hence my nervousness! Plus I respect Norman Rothery.

Q: I have read that if Canada bans Huawei ( I think they may have to) from 5g that the telecoms , Rogers to a lesser degree will have a 1 billion hit as they will have to remove the equipment they have already installed. Now the time for the crystal ball.

If that were to happen , it is a one time hit, probably some tax write offs etc would the market react violently negative.
I own a lot of bce.
