Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good evening,

I am wondering if you have any possible suggestions regarding companies that focus predominately in the application layer or operate full-stack models of AI.

The reason why I am asking this is because of an article entitled: "AI's revolution is just beginning" in Sunday's Globe and Mail. Sadly, there are a few parts that I don't fully comprehend which unfortunately prevents me from investigating more fully. A starting point would be great!

Take a peek to the article as it draws parallels to the dot com/internet crash of the 2000s.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated so I may begin to investigate.

Conversely, state any points you think should be taken with a grain of salt!

Thanks!
Arturo

Q: Thanks for answering both of my questions on ATS and BYD earnings. In reviewing past answers on these 2 companies it seems to me that this in not the first 'disappointing' quarter they have had.

They seem to be in a slump on earnings and in performance which naturally follows.

ATS -31% year to date and -30 for 1 year.

BYD -18% year to date and -3% for 1 year.

Both significantly lagging the S&P and QQQ.

How much longer will you give these 2 in your portfolios before they are replaced?

If you were to replace them today with good quality US stocks with good performance numbers, which would they be?

Thanks

Q: Just read a very interesting artice by Tony Seba regarding his prediction of a humanoid disruption in the not too distant future where robots and AI repalce much of the labour market, starting with more basic functions and developing into more complex. He believes its not as far off as we may think. He believes this to be of critical importance for the success of countries moving forward. Thoughts on his theme? Which individual companies do you think may benefit from a prediction such as his, as well as are their ETFs which invest in a basket of such companies (both AI and robotic)?

Q: Electrification seems to be a big theme going forward. Can you suggest some companies, large and small cap, and any utilities that stand to benefit the most from this . I would assume Hammond would be a beneficiary.

Q: I am contemplating a switch from Rockwell Automation into Eaton. It seems like I would be moving into a better asset. But am I making the classic mistake of selling a name that has nothing but bad news baked into its stock for a stock that has perfection baked into its price? Does Rockwell getting 'less bad' have more upside than Eaton 'keeping on' and I am making a bad switch? Thoughts?

Q: I read an article last night talking about if you had purchased AAPL stock on it's IPO 42 years ago at 22$ and invested 10G at that time and held until now the value not including the small div they pay would be roughly 14Million$ after all the splits your share count went from 400+ to over 100,000+ shares.. I know it is a tough call and this is more of a fun exercise but could you name a few companys/stocks that one day may return something like this over 30-40 year time block Canadian or USA..

Thanks

Q: Hi There,

I presently own ATA and it’s done very well. I am looking at ROK. Share price has dropped significantly in the past 3 months. All things considered would it be prudent to add ROK to my portfolio or would that be too much duplication to ATA business? Why has ROK dropped so much and what is your forecast for the company in coming 1-3 years?

Thank you!
