Investment Q&A

Q: I originally (this year) bought a 2% position in EFL knowing it was higher risk.
It has since doubled and now 4% of my holdings. I do have a high risk tolerance and like to hold on to "winners" and especially during positive momentum. Has EFL moved too far too fast and should I reduce back to 2% or continue to hold. My initial reaction is to hold to 6% and then reduce.
Thanks John

Q: Hi- why has bausch not recovered? Looking for value and companies that may rally into the next phase of a recovery from covid. Is this a candidate?

Q: Good day team,

currently reading a book on the coffee can portfolio and past 100 baggers. Interesting approach but it would seem that it's very hard to follow the principles in today's instant gratification world. That said, if you personally were to allocate a certain percentage of your portfolio to this approach, what companies on the canadian side give the most confidence that they 'could' provide outsized returns over a 10 year period.

Cheers

Q: Hi folks,
I own some LB, I see it has increased in price over the last few days but do not understand why it is moving up. I understand financial results will be released soon are they going to be favourable.
I am also concerned about more dividend cuts. (bought the stock at $42)
Thank you

Q: Is it too late to buy ATZ? Are there others in the sector you like better?

Q: I have been investing for a long time, and have always looked carefully at the p/e ratios and other valuation metrics of stocks that I have bought. I've always felt that the valuation of a stock matters. I read 20 or 30 years ago that the ultimate value any stock holds is the long term ability to generate profits and return these to shareholders in the form of dividends. Lately, it seems that a lot of that is being ignored. There are so many well owned, highly regarded stocks that aren't even profitable on a GAAP basis, and p/e ratios are non-existent in many cases because the company is losing money. I like growth stocks, but it just seems to me that there needs to be some kind of reasonable valuation factored in as well. Many of these high flying tech stocks are now trading at multiples of sales instead of non-existent earnings, and many of those at 20, 30 or more times sales. I know that you like a lot of these, so no need to specify any particular stock. I can see that these companies are growing revenues rapidly, but it can't be as simple as that can it? The revenue is going up 40% or 50% or more a year, and it's a good business, without a ton of debt, so it's a buy? Isn't there some kind of limit? Not trying to be critical - I own some of these high priced tech stocks myself. Some of them, I just can't get my head around what looks like astronomical valuations. Thank you for any comments or insight.

Q: May I please have your opinion of AT. Thank you.

Q: Do any of the mega tech names stand out as good buys ? I’m contemplating buying MSFT.

Q: Just a general question. With markets at all time highs, but the virus is still a big part of our lives. While the market is forward looking, a lot of damage has been done. In addition, this would be the first recession with only 1 wave of selling as opposed to multiple waves. Do you think there are near term risks or are we just headed higher and try not to overthink it, but leave some cash on hand for future opportunities? How much cash? 20%?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: The share price is now about $1 above the deal price. Sell or is a higher offer coming?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
I've been considering taking a position in REAL, especially now on the dip. However, and while I understand there may be many reasons why insiders sell that don't necessarily reflect their view of the future health of 'their' company, the number and size of sells of REAL by management over the past many months (particularly by Jason Smith) give me 'real' pause. Could you give your opinion on the insider selling that's taken place with REAL in the past year or so, especially when coupled with what I think is an almost complete lack of insider buying?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Hello, could you please add fpxi to your database and tell me your thoughts on the ETF

Q: I am looking to buy a position in U.US (Unity Software), but I need to sell one of the other listed companies to raise the cash to do this. Which one would you sell (or trim) to do this, taking into consideration this would be a long term investment. I am looking for maximum share price appreciation. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hello!

What is your current take on the company? They have reported what would appear promising two quarters as far as revenue while successively reducing their costs yet the stock has done nothing since it first bottomed in September. Overall there is not much movement despite of volatility. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Q: I’m seeing more and more questions from members about the EV space. I’ve taken a small position in EXRO with money I can afford to lose because their technology could be a game changer. I’m comfortable with the thought they may not succeed. It seems to me you always wait to endorse until a company has established a track record through sales, etc. This is obviously sound investing advice but doesn’t apply to many startups or companies with new technologies. I don’t often take ‘a flier’ but I feel we’re observing a sea change in energy and related industries. Could you discuss the EV space and identify some of the companies who may have your interest if not your dollars.

Q: I would appreciate any information that you have regarding the FDA approval and general info on the company $TLT-X Theralase.

Thanks Valter
