Investment Q&A

Q: Does this company has a good chance of becoming a Lithium producer in the U.K. where it has a lot of land in Cornwall that is supposed to be mineral rich? It recently had a successful private placement. Thank you.

Q: It's been a while (mid-November) since there was a Q&A on this former favourite. It's up about 10% since then. Would you kindly offer your current views? Do you think it is suitable going forward as a 'slow and steady' stock for a buy-and-hold type of investor. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello, as a recovery play and between these 2 movies chains, which one has the best balance sheet not to go bankrupt ? Do you think financial risk is too high ? Which one has the most recovery potential after the pandemic is over and finally which one would you side with if you had to invest money and why ? Thanks

Q: This stock has come off quite a bit post earnings and down from its high. What impact do you expect the lock up period expiry to have on the stock and would you initiate a position now or wait until after?

Q: With both having a bit of a drop today which one would you choose of the two, thanks.

Q: Would you see today’s price share drop as a buying opportunity or would you wait for volatility to settle down?

Q: Good morning. I currently have positions with MFC, SLF and GWO but GWO was a recent purchase just to see how it performed against the other two which I have held for many years. Based on some of my research it appears that Sunlife manages better through pullbacks and downturns historically however if I were also looking at Dividend Yields, currently MFC and GWO are higher. However I try to look at:
1. Growth rate ( ie EPS growth);
2. Dividend Yield Growth and;
3. Forward Valuation
as best as possible when I look at a company. I don't want or believe I need all three and would appreciate your input as to how you would rank them based on the three criteria I've noted.
Thanks,
Kevin

Q: What gold mining companies are attractive judged by their NAV?

Q: What are your thoughts on BL earnings. Stock is down 15%. Is it still buy, hold or sell. I still hold half position and sold half last week due to run-up. I am still up 30% should I continue to hold, buyback half position, or sell.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Can I please have your thoughts on this company and any explanation for its recent strength. Do you see potential here?
Thank you.

Q: I own these 2 majors and I'm up 15-20% on them so far. My question is that many people are now talking about value stocks and that energy and financials are good plays. It seems like a lot of people believe energy might be entering a multi year bull market (Eric Nutall!). I've traded these over the last few years since they always seem to pop and then go back down with political climate or economic sensitivity. How do you know if this time is different? I don't want to sell too early, but I don't think $100 oil is coming back.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: your opinion on this one please...

Q: any insights on HIRE ...seems to have strong backing

Q: I like the concept of HCAL; investing in Canadian banks with a little extra torque and a higher dividend yield than any of the banks. Is it fine as a long-term hold? I know many of the leveraged ETF's are not suitable for long-term but understand the structure of this one is different. Can you please explain the difference between this and the double and triple levered ETF's.
Do you recommend HCAL for long-term bank exposure.

Q: Could you provide your assessment of this company. I understand this is an Israeli company involved in plant proteins. Is it worth investing in this company. Also, why is this down 15% today? Thanks

Q: I hold both these companies.

Mastercard has been pretty flat for the last 12 months. Do you see things picking up significantly for them when people start booking tickets for flights, hotels, concerts and Disney Land or will papal process more of these payments as well. PayPal has grown to a size in my portfolio that I wouldn't want to add to it. I know Mastercard isn't a "weed" but can't decide if it's a "flower" that could use some water ;)

Would you add to Mastercard (or maybe start a position in Visa) today or look for something else? (In the payments space I also have a full position in SQ)

....PayPal passed Mastercard in market cap today. (mind blown emoji)

Cheers

Thank you so much guys looking foward to have these account reviewed by your team in the next few months. EXCELLENT JOB.

Q: Hi Team,
Could I have one Canadian, one US names you are recommending right now.
Thanks!

Q: Hi,
This is more a big picture question.
For several decades the concept of "Inter-market Analysis" had high "currency" value. Simplistically summarized thus: Stocks go up and bonds go down. Inflation goes up so does Gold. US goes down and Emerging markets go up etc.,
That idea seems to be dead now. It appears that having a long and short position even within sectors seems to be popular. Or the correlation exists still but with different asset classes. For eg., inflation and Bitcoin are now linearly correlated!
Or Bitcoin and Gold are negatively correlated! (Bitcoin hit another record today>50 k and Gold went down below 1800$!!)
Should one really forget about fundamentals and enroll in classes for Options trading strategy?
