Investment Q&A

Q: Since your report on Firan Technology Group in early December, the move has been about 60% to the upside. Your report put the company on my radar, but I did not start a position. I am now considering jumping in and concerned about starting a position after such a big gain over then last few months. Do you see Firan continuing to outperform the market? Is this a longer term growth story that is still in the early innings? Is this increase in price being driven by defence-sector sentiment rather than Firan fundamentals? Any advice would be appreciated.

Q: Could you please provide some "colour" around the substantial issuer bid and the news release today regarding the intention of insider Intercap to participate? Market doesn't seem to like it, and I am wondering if you would consider buying today on the weakness if as an investor you were positive on the company and their prospects.
Thank you

Q: Can you comment the last result.

Thank you

Q: We know that the market moves in advance of the stocks earnings as some say 3 to 6 months in advance. With these 3 stocks, is it possible that is happening, the market is talking to us and we are NOT listening?

Also, as stated before, could it be that if these stocks beat their earnings, that they may still go down with the reason that the market will feel that AI has not fully effected their earnings yet?

Thanks

I see TSU reported strong (?) results today and the share price has taken a nice bump. Is this finally the start of share growth we have been patiently waiting for?

Q: GLXY - the relevant question on this issue seems to be their involvement and reliance on crypto currencies for their earnings. I do not understand how and to what extent they are reliant on that sector. Could you please clarify this issue.

Q: Which would you prefer for total return for a 2 to 3 year hold and why? Thanx.

Q: Hi there. I'm looking at selling my position in Propel and adding to GRID and FORTIS. I am seeing some cracks in the economy and think these other two companies may benefit more in terms of share price appreciation going forward. Does this make sense?

Q: Last week you rated SHOP as a top growth pick among Canadian companies. The past 24 hours has been a roller coaster ride. After pretty good earnings and then the sell-off, do you still rate SHOP as one of your 2 top growth picks? I might suggest a quick report bringing all the information from all the questions into a single brief document. An overall assessment would be helpful as a lot has happened with their financials and the market reaction. Quite puzzling.

Q: Have an RRSP currently holding 2 bank positions (BMO and NA) that represent 11% of the portfolio Also hold XIU and XIC that total 15 percent of the portfolio and CDZ that is roughly 10 % of the portfolio.
Thinking of adding BNS or selling the two banks and buying ZEB. Which is better option given the other ETF’s ?What percentage holding in the banks would be appropriate?
Also should portfolio hold both XIU and XIC or should they be combined into one of the two. And if so how does this affect the direct holding in the banks? Perhaps not needed at all? Would appreciate your comments.Thanks.

Q: And a good morning to you ... Yesterday, someone asked about your two top holds (med to long term). CNR was one of the selections. Why CNR and not CP? Many thanks.

Q: Greetings,

1) To me it seems counter intuitive to buy a stock like VNP which has experienced such a steep appreciation in a short space of time.

Whatever happened to “reversion to mean” ? Surely this phenomenal rise makes the stock more vulnerable to a sharper pull back?

Or are we looking at a company that has a phenomenal runway and this is just the beginning?


2) Are there dangers making purchases based mostly on momentum? I am worried about “jumping on the bandwagon”? and making a FOMO purchase.


3) At what approximate price do you think the risk reward ratio is more favourable?

4) Is there a way of seeing who is actually buying at the moment? i.e General Public or Institutional or Insiders. Can we draw any conclusions from WHO is mostly buying?

My screen is showing a 4.5% insider ownership but NO recent insider purchases

Many thanks in advance for your sharing your thoughts.

Q: Hello Team,

I would like to free up a bit of cash in the cash account. In what order would you sell these 4 companies? These account for only about 3% of my overall portfolio and want to free up about half of this.

Q: I have read an opinion that Bitcoin may have run its course and I assume this would apply to other crypto currencies as well. Could you comment on how widespread this feeling is. Do you feel that there is a case to be made for the sector or might it be best just to exit and move on to something else.
Also how many crypto currencies are there - my knowledge in this area is weak.
My only holding in this sector is Galaxy (as far as I know). Does it have other components to its business that might carry it through if the crypto sector continued to falter or even collapse.
Thanks.
