Investment Q&A

Q: I just wonder about the analyst upgrades and downgrades reported by the Globe&Mail today on NTR. Here is the exact quote:

* Berenberg’s Aron Ceccarelli downgraded Nutrien Ltd. (NTR-N, NTR-T -1.84%decrease) to “hold” from “buy” and dropped his target to US$49 from US$92. The average target on the Street is US$85.59.

If the downgrade is so substantial (U.S. $49 vs. average of U.S. $85.59) don't they required some additional explanation? These "experts" should know many investors would take the numbers at face value and perhaps make some eventually regrettable decisions. Maybe the Globe just can't include all the details in such a short blurb, but if the numbers are so material should either the analyst, or the Globe, provide more details?

What's your view on this? And would you by any chance have those missing details? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I've been holding EGLX in my RRSP account since you added it to your portfolio. My average cost is 3.92 for 2000 shares so what could be a good strategy for shareholders. Would you hold and wait for the recovery or sell and buy it back after the month. Is there any one strategy better than the other, hoping of course and thinking there is a future for the company and you wanted to hold it for the long term. Thanks

Q: Would you average down on Lightspeed at this level? Your comments are appreciated. Many thanks

Q: Hi,

Your analysis of Stone's latest results ?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5iTeam,

I currently hold the above mentioned 4 stock in my portfolio at a substantial loss. Just wondering if I should sell, hold or buy some more for each of these stocks.
As always, thanks for the great work.

Q: Is it too late to get into NVDA? There is talk about AI being a new indusrtial revolution and NVDA is the significant chip player. That being said, the stock has already had a significant run upwards. Am analyst today suggests that NVDA could rise five fold in the next ten year. Is this one to buy, even with a higher stock price than preferred?

Q: Which of these two stocks would be a safer investment over a three year period, disregarding anything else, thanks

Q: NVDA shares have been increasing in value recently by leaps and bounds. I am happy to be up >100%. (A shout out here to 5i's excellent advice regarding this stock.) What is causing this meteoric rise...and, more importantly, is it sustainable? Wondering here if I should let this winner run (it's 6% of my total portfolio now)...or start to divest.

Q: Which would be your choice to initiate a new position. $ISRG or $SYK?

Q: The REIT has made an offer to purchase 12,500,000 units at 15.50 dollars per unit. It represents about 25% of the total REIT issued units. Since the price offered is much lower then my purchased price and the stock is held in a register account I do not feel too compelled to sell it. You have indicated in the past that the REIT is a valuable asset and likely with time it will recover.Is this still the opinion you hold ? Is the dividend would remain to be paid after such transaction by the REIT?
Thank you

Q: I would like to invest in a number of Canadian companies that have DRIP eligibility. Keeping the need for diversity in mind, would you please suggest 10 companies that run DRIP programs that you believe would provide a me with a solid core of companies that can maintain their dividends and hopefully some level of capital gains on a long term basis. Thanks for your support.

Q: What’s up with Verizon? It’s fallen by about half over the last few years, but doesn’t appear to have ever cut its dividend which is now north of 7%. Is it all debt concerns? Is this an opportunity currently or trying to catch the falling knife?

Q: I have been slowly accumulating ISRG. It has just gone above its 52 week high. Considering another small purchase based on hopefully continued momentum. Is it still a good long term plan or time to pause and wait for a pull back and better valuation? Thanks

Mike

Q: With the recent decline in its price, do u see a possibility of dividend cuts?
Who would be a closest competitor for NTR?
Thank you as always

Q: Thoughts on recent news of bought deal and arrangement with Linamar. Good, bad or indifferent? Buy, hold or sell?

Q: At first glance, today's earnings look pretty good. But similar to WELL, we are again seeing a significant downward move on the SP. The difference is that the trading volume is pretty modest so it could just be a few retail investors that are "selling on the news." At any rate, would appreciate your views.

Q: Your comments on the Q1, 2023 earning report of NPK ,released on May 16,would be appreciated. Buy, sell or hold?

Q: Would you consider this a reasonable point at which to pick up some extra shares of Shopify to bring down average cost ?
Thank you
