Investment Q&A

Q: Please confirm as I could be misremembering: stock market drifting lower is not good for insurance companies. Please provide some context if I am correct. Which insurance company would be less impacted ?

Q: I am thinking that TD is getting quite stretched.using traditional metrics. Do you agree? I am not asking for personal advise, rather I am asking if you think selling a May 135 (covered) call would expire worthless or would probably be called away in two months. In other words, do you think TD stock can appreciate much beyond 135 in the next two months.

Q: Which of these - if any - would you be interested in at these levels?

Q: I hold smaller sized Positions of both of these companies and have had the intention to average into larger Positions as pricing opportunities arise.

Both have pulled back about a third from their highs ( i assume the Private Credit issue is the fear). Does that in fact represent the majority reason for the current pullback and if its the case is the fear as warranted as the relevant price pullback suggests?

Some of the opinions i hear suggest the Private Credit fears are greatly exaggerated .. whats yr take on this issue and if so might companies like BN and BAM be less exposed than the market suggests and might others like Apollo KKR and Blackstone be compelling value at current levels?

Q: Back in August 2025 i asked about Lyondellbasell and chose to build a Position in the 40s. Things were not well back at that time but the stock price looked historically Lo.

The stock floundered but started to show some early signs of improving a few months earlier after the divi was cut (the 1st time in many years i believe).

The stock has jumped considerably (as have several other chemical companies) following higher Oil prices brought on by the Iran conflict. Noting it's cyclicality and the uncertainty of the Gulf situation would you continue to hold and at what level would you eventually look to sell based on the long term chart of LYB and circumstances playing out?

Q: Hello, do you know why RCAT is dropping by 15% today?

Thanks

Q: I hold the ITA and EUAD ETF’s in the Defense and Aerospace sector. I also hold KRMN, PNG, and RKLB. All are smaller holdings. Would you add to any today and if so, in what order? Or are there some other ETF’s or stocks that would make good additions? Or would you not add at all at this time as the sector has had a run up? Thanks.

Q: Hello, can you please confirm that REITs should be held in registered accounts (RSP, LIRA, TFSA) whenever possible considering their tax treatment (distribution treated the same as interest income in my understanding). Thank you.

Q: I am trying to understand oil and gas pricing and how the war in Iran affects them. I get that oil prices will rise during these times. What I don't understand is (a) why local gas pump prices rose so soon (the gas in the ground at my local gas station was bought several weeks ago!); and (b) why does oil from the tar sands, for example, increase immediately in price when Suncor's customers, I believe, are largely in North America and therefore don't compete against Iranian oil? From a valuation point of view, is the price for oil and gas companies simply reflecting the windfall profits being made on both the sudden increase in prices and the subsequent profits that will be reaped, since prices never go down as fast as they go up? If the hostilities ended tomorrow, would you expect the share prices to drop by 30% or so, given how much they have increased since December?

Appreciate your insight (particularly on this complicated topic).

Q: Hi Guys
I am a long term investor and have owned NFI for quite a while and done well with it. Thinking of selling it and buying Linamar thinking that NFI is a little less stable. And remembering you guys have not been too keen on it. Any thoughts on Linamar as a replacement. Or would you have another suggestion in the industrial space CDN or foreign?

Thanks

Q: What would it take to get this stock moving again? It's last quarter wasn't terrible albeit not great and they are still cash positive even with weaker results in 2025.

Do you see any chance of a takeout or meaningful insider buying or stock buy back programs?
