Investment Q&A

Q: I just read your report on propel holdings. They sound like a good takeover candidate for GoEasy. Will give GoEasy an entrance and exposure to the US consumer, as well as Propel’s AI program. What are your thoughts on this?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have been a loyal share holder for years and am down of course. These results look good...However...please tell me... if they should help the stock price knowing of course there is not guarantee only favourable odds. In other words does it have any kind of future progress or is my loyalty really unwarranted. Your opinion is always of great help...thank you immensely.

Q: I'm curious as to the lack of a high dividend paying etf in your Income portfolio? Also curious as to your thoughts on the partial use for these in a RRIF or PLIf account ( I am in MB and we have PLIF's). I'm setting up a PLIF and considering having more than a full position of HDIV, along with big stable dividend growers I'd pick from your favorites. I have a RRSP of the same value of the PLIF and investments in TFSA. I've been 100% equities all my life, eat volitility for breakfast. If you were setting up your own PRIF, looking to make significant income, what would it look like?

Q: Ulta has been beat up most recently…Can you comment on it specifically and offer any thoughts on adding?

Q: Good Morning,

I hold KXS in my TFSA. My goal is to maximize growth in the account. Would you endorse a switch to one of the above names. Which would be your current two favourites in the group?

Thanks,
Janet

Q: I’ve held this name for 6 years and haven’t made a cent. Global warming may ultimately be the demise of this business. Looking to replace with a high growth U.S. name. What other businesses with a market cap less than 20 Billion would you put on the same growth trajectory as CELH?
Thanks

Q: Hi Everyone,

I am very interested in FINALLY purchasing an actively managed Global/International ETF or Mutual Fund. I have had zero such exposure in my portfolio for many years and am also currently sitting with USD in my accounts.
I have been following Mr. Hodson for many years and even though based on my personal metrics/age I still cannot contain my high risk individual stock picking tendencies.
My Investment Advisor has loaded up for decades on 'SGA Global Equity Growth Fund' and some Lazard Freres managed fund but I am not tempted to do so.

I would greatly appreciate some of your favourite recommendations in this space.

Thank you,

Dean

Q: Why the price drop today?
Is the is an opportunity to make it a full position?

Q: Goldman Sachs just initiated coverage with a "sell". Thoughts? A little harsh? Or GS sees something in the last quarter that triggered the decision?

Q: I will need to sell one or a combination of several of these stocks for my RRIF withdrawal. EIF (gain )has been good to me over the years , SPB ( loss ) hopefully Certarus acquisition will help , BEPC ( loss ), spinout , full portfolio position of BEP.UN .

Would you sell a full position of one of these or split between the 3 ( or 2 ) . How would you proceed ? Thanks Derek

Q: Could you please compare and contrast CPH and VHI? Looking for key differences or attributes. Is one better than the other, or if starting a new position, would you just allocate funds 50/50?

Q: Good morning,

Perhaps I am over-thinking this, and I know there have been a lot of BCE-related questions recently. But I am starting to hear more regarding potential retaliatory measures by the Federal Government and the CRTC in response to BCE's recent layoffs, station closings and general expenditure cuts.

I wonder if you share this view, and if so, have a view as to what might be possible. Personally I find it somewhat "distressing" and distasteful that this is happening, as any retaliation will clearly impact longer-term price directionality and have significant dividend repercussions.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i
Nuvei sp surging today, is there buyout news to account for this.
thx

Q: Any lithium stocks you prefer?

Q: I have been getting monthly rrif withdrawals. I learned that I could do In kind withdrawals. I would think a yearly lump sum in kind withdrawal to a tfsa thereby saving the tax on the accumulated interest would be better. Of course most of this would be short term stable investments.

Second related question. I can do this but have to use the same firm which charges an annual fee of .95% with class F shares for funds ,ETFs are ok no stocks. This would take up most of my TFSA allotment? Is this a wise decision.?

Thanks for your advice. Tom

Q: SMCI has raised cash twice in the last 6 months, arguably much more cash than they really need which has increased speculation about possible acquisitions.

From their corporate presentations we know VRT have planned to scale production of a newly acquired liquid cooling technology over 40x through the course of this year. Seems like something that would take some up front capital investment. Does your crystal ball foresee VRT raising cash? Do they need to raise cash or is cash flow strong enough to grow the business?

Thanks.

Q: What's advantage of buying a U.S. stock in a C$ TFFSA?

Q: After today's 17% staff reduction news, would it be prudent to start a position in Canada Goose at this price level?

Thank you very much for your continued great advice!

Q: Hi Peter et al:

This is a big picture question based on the recent article on optionson5i Research and also based on Peter's expertise on Options trading. After all your i2i fund is based on this strategy, if I am not mistaken, right?

How does one screen for stocks , selling cash secured puts and Covered calls? Any particular favorite screeners that we can use who don't have fancy Bloomberg terminals? Your excellent article in 2015 talked about Covered calls (where is the promised follow up article?! :)) YouTube is filled with clips that promote either courses or their black box products. I want to develop a methodology that I can use in a systematic manner.

IF I want to protect myself for the expected and very possible downturn in the markets, how does one employ this technique?

Finally what are your stocks selection for such an approach at this time? ( Both for Selling cash secured puts and Covered call)

Feel free to deduct as many credits as you deem fit.

Many thanks.

Q: What did you think of their latest quarter , future growth and shares at the current price ?
