Investment Q&A

Q: Just sold in our joint account for tax loss can I buy back in an individual account before 30 days and still claim the tax loss jointly?

Q: I have been considering selling the following companies for tax loss. Do you think they are reasonable candidates? Or do you think there is too much bounce potential going into 2026. Would you be able to rank them in the order you would consider selling them from most attractive for tax loss to least. Thank you.
John

Q: What are your top 10 Canadian medium caps. Please put your response in the order you would buy them for the largest total gain (dividend and capital gain) over the next two years.

Q: Which do you prefer, and why. Would you buy here.

Q: There was news today but I am not sure how to interpret it; it looks as though MDA is set up for the longer term, maybe. Your input would be appreciated.

Q: Do you think Mda is attractive at current levels?

Q: I plan to convert most of my stock holdings into ETF's by Dec 15/ 28. The highlighted stocks are in my TFSA with significant loses due to poor timing increasing positions. Would you hang in there or cut bait and move on. For the names you would kiss goodbye, please suggest a more stable proxy. Thank you

Q: I receive DKAM quarterly newsletter. These 5 stocks (MDA,PRL,VHI, ZDC and E) they are high on for various reasons for 2026. If you agree, which ones should I add to my TFSA and why?
Thank you,
James

Q: Down 30% on MDA, its been frustrating with the news of contract losses in the last few months, etc... Can you compare MDA vs TSAT. Would look to either fully sell MDA or trim MDA and buy some TSAT as a tax loss proxy. MDA still has good rev growth and backlog and you seem to like TSAT as you recently added more. What would you do? Thanks!

Q: Do you feel MDA is at a good entry here for investment returns

Q: I've developed my own list of tax loss selling candidates some of which are common to your list. In what order would you purchase and are there any that you would consider a value trap or worse?

Q: Hi Peter,
Given the current valuations and the growth projection (or lack of), which two of these four stocks will most likely to have the least possibility of year end bounce and thus are ideal for tax loss selling? MDA, TRI, SRAD, or GLXY. Do you see any of these worth repurchasing for a 2 year hold after the 30 days period? Thanks.

Q: Hi again,
Just submitted a question about MDA that wasn't well proofread and below is the question as it should have been - I hope you can substitute the corrected version before publishing. Thanks!

Hi 5i,
What are your thoughts on the earnings report issued this morning? To me it looked good, but for a dearth of free cash - is that observation correct and, if so, is it a concern?
Also:
After the last big price drop based on the Globalstar rumour, MDA management wrote:

"MDA Space is monitoring fluctuations in our share price that appear to be the result of unconfirmed and speculative media reports related to mergers and acquisitions in our customer base. As a matter of policy, MDA Space does not comment on rumours or speculation. MDA Space management will provide a full update on its business outlook as part of our next regularly scheduled earnings release on November 14, 2025."

I was looking forward to reading MDA's response to potential loss of contracts this morning, but it's "full business outlook" didn't address the issue at all - although the issue certainly hasn't gone away. Again, cause for concern?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Good day everyone
I would like to know in which order would you buy today from (CLS, PNG, CSU, LMN, GLXY, GSY, PRL, MDA, GRID, VHI, HPS.A, BN, X, TRI, SHOP, DSG).
Also please included a buyable rating for each from 10 down to 1 with 10 being a great buy and 1 not at this time.
Thank you very much

Q: What did you think of MDA's quarterly report and would you be a buyer of half a position at this point?
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter,
Both MDA and FTG are experiencing negative momentum. Please compare their financial situation and future revenue projections. With year-end selling, which one would you prefer to buy at the current valuation for a 3 year hold and why? Thanks.

Q: Hi there,

Can you give me a 1 (low)-10 (high) ranking on these as to which you BUY/ADD right now for a 3-5 year horizon?

I know you’re not big fans of averaging down but are there any of these that you’d look at if you bought at higher prices?


Thanks.

Q: I recently started a position in MDA after the first melt down. Now it has had a second drop and I am questioning what to do. What would you recommend, take the loss, hold for now, fill the position?

Q: It is my understanding that the budget move to more fully fund the Canadian military will require a massive spending push. What companies will benefit most? I expect for US based companies this would barely move the needle since their baseline US business will eclipse our spending? Are there Canadian companies that could sharply benefit? Also non-US companies if there is more appetite to avoid American during the tariff / trade tensions?

Thanks!

Q: It appears Globalstar has not denied the rumours about selling itself to Starlink. So there must be some truth to the rumours. Presumably once Musk controls Globalstar he would cancel or buyout Globalstar’s contract with MDA leaving MDA with no business? I understand Apple owns 20% of Globalstar so they would have to agree to the Musk buyout. I can see Apple not wanting to be at Musk’s mercy but also not wanting to operate Globalstar’s business. Any idea what the future holds for MDA. I’m a shareholder.
