Investment Q&A

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

Q: This company has been on a fairly continual slide for a year now. I am just about break-even in a TFSA, I have had a bad habit in the past of being impatient and because room in the TFSA is limited I have sometimes sold things for the next shiny object and regretted the decision years later as the original holding finally takes off.

Analysts following the stock seem to still expect significant upside, what do you see in terms of potential and also risks?

Q: The Book Value sits at above $19.00 per share. The stock trades just above $12.00. Today FFH announced that it bought some shares from individuals @ 15.29 and issued a warnings about possible future share purchases. Management obviously has to find a way to unlock shareholder value. What is your take on the announcement today.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I know you like GOOG, and am wondering if the following story is further reason to buy some/more, and perhaps a reason to lighten up on MSFT?

Q: I hold SPOT and have been adding to my position on current weakness. Their earnings took a hit recently but they also acquired DigiGeoData which looks like a good move to me. They are profitable at this size and can scale quickly. I'm surprised that it continues to fall past the 70 cent mark and hit 64 cents today to make the p/e of 9x, p/book of 2 and price to sales under 8x. The fundamentals look great to me - am I missing something?

Q: Hi 5i,
Was looking to add to my half position of FTS and came across this news.... heading.....

"Veritas Downgrades Fortis to Sell from Buy, Keeps CA$57.50 Price Target."

Can you provide any insight on why they would consider FTS a sell and would you agree?
Would you be comfortable adding at this price for 2-3 yr hold or would you wait for maybe better entry point?

thx
Jim

Q: If a dividend or distribution is declared in December 2021 but payed in January 2022, is the revenue taxable in 2021 or 2022?. I think 2022 but I might be wrong. Thanks.

Q: I was seriously underweight in the health care sector in my portfolio, so this year's TFSA contributions (mine & spouse's) went to NBLY & AND.
Obviously 6 weeks is a ludicrously short time to evaluate performance, and these two investments only constitute a tiny fraction of my overall portfolio, but can you provide some assurance that these remain reasonable investments? Especially in the context of being the only direct health care exposure. Both are down substantially, NBLY esp. down almost 30%. Did I just happen to pick a bad time to buy?
NBLY results reported this morning didn't look that bad?
