Investment Q&A

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

Q: I know in your last answer you indicated you had simply run out of patience with GUD. Wondering what your thoughts are now ? Outside of some major move (maybe a buyout or privatization) do you see much chance for significant capital appreciation over the next year. I'm down over $5K on 2000 shares ...wondering if I should just move on ...and if so, any suggestions (maybe HHL) ?

Q: Everyone, interest rates move in a wave pattern. When the Fed wants to reduce inflation they increase the interest rate and when inflation declines to their range of near 2% they reduce the Fed rate. This past year - ish the Fed has significantly increased the rate from near zero and recently they have slowed the rate increases. Soon they will stop the increases, then no increases and then reduce the interest rate. The time frame of the holding pattern and declines is dependent on inflation. What does that mean in general for the economy and more specifically for the technology sector. Clayton

Q: Hi, We own above Canadian banks, which makes up the financial sector of our portfolio.

On an YTD basis, interestingly, their performance has diverged significantly, with CM +7%, RY +2.5% and TD -9%. During past 30 days (reflecting impact of recent crisis in financial sector SVB/SB), these names have declined as follows : CM -7%, RY -8% and TD -17%. Does it mean that market is assigning higher risk to TD, relative to its peers ? Does it make one name more attractive than others, and if so why, if we wish to take advantage of the sizable decline in their share prices, and add for long term investment ?

Thank You

Q: I would appreciate your comments on AKE, an Australian lithium producer that trades on the TSE. It earns $1.05/year and has PE of 9.19. Revenue is growing rapidly and margin is 40%. Revenue is forecast to grow 16%/year. The Globe did a screen yesterday that showed the company 74% undervalued. Sounds too good to be true.
