Q: You mentioned that these are among your choices if an investor added some Kitimat LNG exposure. I have a couple questions.
1) With the “Green Light” given, how long do you think it will take to have these stocks trade at or above Price/Book. Is this an important factor for you?
2) If not now, what would your signal to buy shares be given production in 2025?
3) do you have concerns that this project could still be stymied and not proceed?

Thanks

Q: MAXR is no longer a company you like much. You did before and your view of MAXR went from positive to negative and you seemed just as disgusted as others at the company. I am down some 35% from cost. This is a request asking you to confirm (or deny) that you have in fact given up on them (?). If however you have regained confidence in the company’s prospects, I would appreciate your updated thinking and the reasons. MAXR’s results are lumpy and contracts can be wildly profitable or go horribly wrong. But do you believe the outlook is better now?

At first glance, it may appear my question below concerns ‘market timing’. No, it isn’t that except in a very limited or narrow sense. I can’t use the tax loss and I want to increase the Canadian content of investments (I have only 5% of assets in Canada and want to increase same to 25%.

QUESTION : Since we are now in tax loss harvesting season, am I better to sell AFTER the tax loss season ? Is there ANY logic to the thinking that , all else being equal, I am more likely than not to get a less depressed price AFTER the tax loss selling stampede? I am not looking for a definitive answer (that’s not available). I am looking for your insight BEYOND first level numbers and data. ( I did buy companies from 5i model portfolios and ones I bought are all down but at least most seem to have possibilities. If you think there is now hope for MAXR, please advise reasons your opinion has evolved to conclude there might be chance MAXR is worth holding.

Q: This stock finished up 63% on October 2nd and I cannot find any news besides unrelated stories about CBD infused teas and other drinks potentially coming to market in the coming months-years by other companies maybe DTEA?. Is this the reason it jumped up so much or is there another reason I have been unable to source? Thanks

Q: I know you've made sector percentage allocation recommendations in the past (always with caveats), but i can't seem to find them. So I apologize for what will no doubt be repetitive for you. What sector allocation percentages would you recommend for a retiree with no immediate needs for cash but needing to keep things pretty conservative due to advancing age and increasing health issues? I will keep your reply on file!
