Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter Shiff was recently on USA Watchdog.com. He basically recommends that investors switch to gold as he feels the US (fiat based) currency will become devalued as bond investors demand higher rates given the huge US deficits.

What is your opinion of gold, and gold stocks, as an investment? Should investors allocate a percentage of their portfolio to gold as protection to a possible collapse in the bond and equity markets?

Thank you again for your insightful advice.

Q: I have held CP for some time. After a period of strong increases, in the past few weeks it has pulled back by over 15%. CNR (which I do not own) also pulled back but not to the same degree. This surprised me as general economic conditions still seem fairly positive and I would have expected the rails to continue with strength. Do you see these companies returning to their positive path over the next 3-6 months? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
In an answer to George today , you indicated that Food Services got a lot of new shares in exchange for trademarks. Not sure what good that does for the existing unit holders? Or does Food Services get new units in AW.UN when new restaurants are added to the pool so our growth is limited to same stores sales increase instead of also new stores ?
Thanks for all you do

Q: I have a list of all earnings release dates and when I feel it is necessary I will do a protective put before earnings, which seems to work very well in this volatile market.
What the h--- happened with the GIL guidance which just seems to come out of the blue with no warning etc?
How does one protect against something that happens haphazardly?
Why would they do this? To piss off their shareholders?

Q: Marijuana stocks: “Dead Cat Bounce” or Trend reversal

Examples: Weed, Hexo, HMMJ,TLRY, VFF

After some major drops in share prices, the last couple of days have seen some nice and welcomed increases.
Do you see this a a Dead Cat bounce or a trend reversal.
If a trend reversal, do you see significantly more upside potential in any of the above.

Thanks .
BTW .... thanks for the excellent answer to my bonds not doing their job question. 5i certainly is ...in every way.
