Investment Q&A

Q: In response to other questions CRH has restated its last quarter financial announcement

Q: When someone is down on a stock like MDA say 20 percent and you advise the holder to hold then for someone who does not yet own the stock would that then be a buy for them? After all they would be buying at 20 per cent less than the person to whom it has been suggested they should hold. Thanks.

Q: Hi, Any comments on the unabated selling and advice on future course of action ? Guess, we can always hold for year end capital loss, but is it worth waiting or you see any light at the end of the tunnel? Thanks for your valued insight.

Q: What's going on with crh?
Would you be comfortable to buy at these levels?
Keep up the good work."...

Q: Congrats Ryan! Well deserved.

Q: People corp is at $5.60 and Photon is at $1.35. Would you consider taking up a position at these prices?

Thanks.

Q: sorry if this is a long winded question. after yesterday's pull back and looking like some more today this might be the pullback everyone has called for since the beginning of the year. i've put together a list of companies i'd like to add to if prices got cheap enough. most are are utility/telecom/pipeline names that have done so well for me over the past few years. seeing as these names have benefitted from the low rate environment and possibly people looking for yield (bond alternatives) is this the right strategy going forward? i'm in love with the dividends but don't want to let that skew my investment so i'm looking for your advice. should i be looking at allocating cash to other sectors that might not be impacted negatively by rising rates? i have room to add to my financial, tech, and industrial holdings based on current weighting in my portfolio.

Q: I currently own BEP.UN and BIP.UN. Thinking of adding BAM.A.
Are these companies linked in such a way, that really bad news would bring the other Brookfield stocks down?
Thanx
Saw your response on rating the order of the Brookfield stocks on the 17th. Noticed you put BAM.A ahead of all the Brookfield stocks.
What makes it better than the two I have , in your opinion.

Q: Sangoma Technologies released fiscal Q3 results this evening. Revenues have grown for the eight consecutive quarter, 29% this past quarter. The Company stated in the earnings release that total revenues for fiscal 2017 will now exceed their guidance of $25 million. As the market cap grows (today still trading less than 1X sales) do you think this Company would be considered for your model growth portfolio?

Q: Copper has pulled back from its recent highs in the 2.70's, and zinc from the 1.30's (USD/lb). Could you comment on any possible headwinds for these base metals? Would this be a good time to add a new position in our favorite copper and zinc stocks since there has been a corresponding drop in their prices?
