Investment Q&A

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

Q: Recently I sold units in FID6000 in my grandson's RESP because of its poor year to date performance and high MER. We did book an overall gain of 130% over a 3 year period. The RESP account owns a variety of income producing positions. that have modest gains. I am looking to invest in something growth oriented, with maybe a 3 to 5 year horizon ahead. I am considering splitting between one or two ETFs listed above and possibly TOI. Do you expect further growth from TOI?. Opinions on ETF's please. Moderate risk OK. Canadian currency only account.

Q: Hi Peter,

ROKU had plummeted after hours. On looking at the earnings, I was surprised that its not as bad at the market is making it out to be.

For one, all key metrics like streaming hours, active accounts and ARPU were all up YOY. So was the Revenue , EBITA and EPS.

It seems the issue is that they missed on revenue when compared to what analysts had forecasted and guided lower for next quarter. From the accounting knowledge I possess, ROKU hardly seems to me like a company that is not growing unless I have become "rusty".
Your brief overview will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Q: Please make this public or private as you wish.

Miso Robotics and their product Flippy is a pre public company and I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on how to value it and what you think of its future?

Q: Chegg saw a big drop yesterday with their news of a slowdown in the education industry. Do you see future growth for this company? Would you buy on this dip? Or are there better opportunities out there?

By the way, I'm new to your service but reading the Q&A has become an essential part of my daily morning routine - thank you for the excellent insights!

Q: Might the selling be a bit overdone here, or do the results justify this 25% haircut?

Q: CPX accounts for 2.31% and AQN represents 4.63% of my unregistered portfolio. I was thinking of switching AQN into CPX or rebalancing so that each would be equal. Would there be another dividend producing utility that you would prefer over these two. I already own BEP(2.81%), BIP(2.23%), SPB(1.74%)and F(1.56%). Perhaps putting some of the AQN into one of the latter four mentioned? I do like the nice dividend that CPX provides. I am retired and have a decent pension and my portfolio is geared to dividend income.

Q: I have the impression that among the large Canadian banks you still favour BNS. Looking at a 1-year chart comparison, I see that even the usual laggards, CIBC and Laurentian Bank, have been doing better than BNS. By sticking with BNS, do you anticipate better performance going forward? (I own it and have not been overly impressed - what is the rationale for hanging on to it?)
