Investment Q&A

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

Q: I've been a holder of Calibre Mining for a while, and I'm getting a little worried about its slide downhill regarding its share price. I think the company should be making good money. Is there anything of major concern here (debt, balance sheet)? Would you consider it a HOLD? I'm bullish on precious metals.

Q: Ah! The widow and orphan stock.
What do you think? After all these years of never being able to gain traction, is now their time?
Just like nvdia when it did nothing for years and then became the darling of the street. Been burnt twice with Sierra but I sense a huge turnaround with 5G or a buyout!
Peter: your opinion! Thanks.

Q: Read in the Post recently that BMO and NA may be best positioned to increase dividends, while BNS may not. Is that also your consensus, and also possibly the reason for the slow decline in BNS ?
Thanks as always

Q: Greetings 5i.

I would like your view on the following. Would you prefer to buy a basket of power utilities (FTS/H/AQN etc) to create a hybrid ETF for sector exposure? (if so, can you provide a list of your favorites?) Or is it worth the mer to buy an ETF that has most of them embedded within? In which case, which ETF would you recommend?

Many thanks for your help.

Q: I am overweight in the financial sector and own FSZ(under water) TD and SLF. I also own some ETFs that bring this to an overweight position. If I were to sell FSZ this would bring my weight to what it should be. My question is should I sell all FSZ since it is underwater and cut the loss or take some profit off TD and SLF and keep FSZ? These stocks are in a RRSP account.

Q: I invested in SWKS in tax-deferred account for potential gain in 5G (and perhaps 6G in future). I have two concerns: (1) AAPL accounts for a whopping 56% of SWKS revenues (according to Barrons recently). AAPL has the intellectual and financial resources to develop its own chips and thus be less of a hostage. (2) The second concern : SWKS seems to be overvalued now assuming I have the following correct: PEG sky high at 7.8 (ROE healthy at 28). I have been trimming reluctantly but just read in the Q & A that really like SWKS.

Would you agree with my concerns? If they are reasonably well founded, would you now withdraw much of your affection for this business... OR would you take the risk and keep loving her anyway?
