Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is there anything of note in the 3rd Quarter release? The technology of QST and the world wide focus on reducing methane gases, one would think this company is in a sweet spot to increase sales dramatically - as per this statement from the president (below)... so help me understand why they are not signing oodles of contracts for their clean combustion technology solutions?
"Requests for proposals have increased significantly from both international and domestic companies, who are exploring opportunities to use Questor’s integrated solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, eliminate flaring and venting to meet the new regulations focused on methane."

Q: Could you please share your top 3 picks in the luxury goods "sector"? Please order starting with the best and a (very) brief reason for the pick (if I'm not asking too much and the time allows). Got interested because, it seems to me, that the wealthy and the luxury companies they're buying things from are doing just fine, recession or not.
Many thanks!

Q: Hello, I'm recently retired. I am seeking income generating vehicles for my various, registered plans (RRSP, LIRA, TFSA) to invest in. I'm considering an investment in ZWU. I'm wondering if there might be a similar, utilities based, covered call, ETF available for the American market?

Lastly, if any of these ETFs might also be available without the covered call overlay and if you believe that those versions of the ETFs might provide better, mid-term probability of a greater Total Return; I'd be interested in your opinion, as well.

Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter,

Do you see any "Generational opportunity", or "Once in a decade opportunity" for a Long time Invester in today's market.

Q: Further to recent discussions on momentum ETF's, can you please provide your opinion on Vanguard US momentum:VFMO. I'm reading the key to success depends on being nimble, recognizing changing market/economic conditions and reacting sooner than later. VFMO apparently reviews 1/12 of its investments each month vs others reviewing quarterly or biannualy.
Thanks Peter.

Q: I hold these in an RESP with the following weighting (BIP 18%, Goog 18% VGRO 23%, XAW 41%) and I am considering selling to purchase a 3 year GIC as my eldest child is approaching post-secondary education.

Which holding would you reduce?
Can you rank these holding in terms of risk?
Is there an alternative security other than a GIC that should be considered?

Thanks!

Q: I own Arc Resources. Some investors are suggesting the FCF is just not there anymore. It used to be higher (I believe around 25% FCF yield) but as of June 2022 it was reported to be closer to 15-17% FCF yield. Possibly one could get a higher yield with another energy company? I am thinking about selling, taking profits and adding to Surge Energy. I would like to hear your comments. Are there any issues with ARX? Thanks in advance!

Q: it seems the fortunes of this company are at least stabilizing if not turning around. They are profitable and have negotiated a more favourable debt maturity structure. My main question is in regards to the short interest of around 18% - is this not a risky thing to do in light of the above? I read somewhere the short positions have actually been established as hedges by convertible bondholders - if the company tanks, the bonds sink but the short positions offset. If the company succeeds and share price increases, the convertible bonds can convert to equity at the lower conversion rate and close out their short position. Am I on the right track? I can't otherwise explain this huge short %
