Investment Q&A

Q: Good Morning,

Of these three, what would be your order of preference to add too?

Thank You

Q: 1. Can you please provide your analysis of these 2 companies.

2 I presently have a 2% position in ATA, and am considering adding. It has dropped from its high of $50+ to the mid $30s. What are the chances for a good bounce back?

3. in an answer last year, it seemed you were quite lukewarm about SNC. It seems to have held up better in the current down draft. What are its current prospects and do you see it more favourably in its current circumstances?

4. I also have a near 3.5% position in WSP. If it were you, would you add to ATA or WSP, or initiate a position in SNC?

Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Hi Guys
Can you comment on Equinox. Due you view it as a decent company to hold in the Gold sector for a long term Hold ?
Thanks Gord

Q: I own WISH as a portion of my speculative portfolio. Last Wednesday it reported what I thought was another good Q - continued acquisitions, rev up 107%, GP up 119%, Gross Margins of 68% (up from 63%). The stock has continued to tank since the announcement and is down 19% from the day before it announced and down over 50% from its 52 wk high. Am I missing something to this story and the stock is indeed undesirable for some reason, or is the market miss pricing this one? They seem to be doing everything right but I may be missing something and would love your perspective.
Many thanks
Scott

Q: Peter and Co., AQN is seeing considerable selling pressure. I am cosidering adding to my position for recession protection and selling some of my overweighting in energy stocks. I am a bit cautious as the stock is falling. Also, REFINITIV's analysis gives AQN an overall rating of '5' on a 10 scale. fundamentals rate a '3', valuation a' 1' and momentum a '3'.
Do you have concerns about these low rating? At what price would you see AQN as a great buy?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Good Morning

I have a non registered account solely for Canadian listed US Dividend payers. My timing isn’t great but I need to raise some US cash within the next year. My untouchables are BAM and CSU. Of the remaining 3 holdings which between TRI,BEP and AQN would you sell first.

Thank you

Q: Hi,
I'm currently holding all of these at a loss, mostly in RSP's - so the loss, if taken, won't be helpful tax wise. I'm aware you are still recommending GSY, but assume that is because at this point it is a reasonably buy. It has been a particular disappointment for me, as I purchased near the recent highs, so I wonder if the remaining capital I have might be better in the energy sector, as I do hold other financials. SNAP and SBUX are looking a bit more like they will take a very long time to show positive momentum - would you agree? Or do you feel it is worth holding onto all of these? I don't need the cash, I'm just wondering if it would be more prudent to stop the day by day reduction in principal, in particular when there are options such as ENB that pay a sizeable dividend in a more positive sector.
Many thanks for your thoughts, as they are always appreciated.

Q: After taking a profit from an oil company you suggested last year (thank you!), I am looking to re-invest (outside of the commodity sectors) accepting higher risk for return.

Q: Which one do you recommend for a 5 year hold?

Q: Good morning,

Looking for your insights on owning gold stocks at current levels( ie AEM, ABX) - gold seems to be languishing , what would be the catalysts for gold and gold equities to move higher?

Thank you.

Q: Hello

Regarding VRIF, I saw a YouTube recently that said that the 4 percent payout will remain constant and that if each unit drops below $25, Vanguard will reduce the monthly payout. Does that make sense? I am somewhat mathematically challenged but from what I understand, if I buy an ETF at a lower price today, I will earn a higher percent payout than if I bought it at a higher price. I'd appreciate your input regarding VRIFs payout.

Thanks

Q: Can you please rank the following cancer related stocks based from best to worst based on your understanding of which are currently under appreciated based on their potential to cure or prevent cancer? To put it another way, do any of them have technology that could become significantly larger businesses than they are today in treating or detecting cancer?
Please add one name that I have not listed that may have higher potential.
