Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have very little energy exposure in my registered account.
Is now a good time to add a long-term dividend payer and if so, please suggest 2 for me to consider.
Preferably one that isn't already over-valued and therefore may drop in price should oil return to $50 or $60/ barrel.
Thanks.

Do you see value over the next 5 years after today's strong drop (-38.9%) given it's competitors, revenue growth still reasonably robust, and adj net income and EBITDA that is + and growing?

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I was expecting with higher rates that insurance and banks will do well. Trisura is behaving like a tech stock and the banks and insurance are not doing well despite good numbers. Is this due to uncertainty geo-politically? Thanks very much.

Q: Apparently Canada will ban crude oil imports from Russia. Are there any other petrochemicals that we import from Russia? How will this affect Canadian companies and which companies do you see benefiting the most from this move?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: With the tragedy of the Russia-Ukraine war breaking out and the sanctions put in place, do you think the Canadian blue-chip energy co's such as IPL are facing headwinds or tailwinds right now? Wondering if this is a time to take profits or consider riding with Canada energy looking like a desirable alternative these days. Thanks

Q: I am down 20 to 40 % on these equities.
I am considering harvesting a loss and moving to other names in their respective sectors. Please assess by my plan and provide any necessary input.
Swap LULU for CROX
Swap ADBE for CRM
Swap RCII for DKNG - I am less convinced it this third swap.

Thank you
