Investment Q&A

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

Q: After a great deal of scepticism, I have just begun dipping my toes into crypto. I have half a position in HOOD and would appreciate your advice on strategy going forward. As a balanced growth investor, how much exposure would you recommend in the crypto world? Assuming it's greater than the 2.5% currently held, how would you proceed? Thank you.

Q: GSY went from a darling to relatively flat, while PRL continues on a tear. Do you still recommend GSY with the same enthusiasm/do you expect it to resume its upward path, and would you advise PRL instead at this point?

Thank you,

Peter

Q: Hi,
I am thinking of selling my CIBC stock, as it has done well, but now has become relatively expensive compared to historical averages, and the dividend yield is comparatively lower. Can I get your top 3 choices in each of 1) big banks/financial institutions 2) mid cap financial institutions. and can I get your top 2 in small cap financials. All Canadian please.
cheers, Chris

Q: Hello

Can you please comment on Laurentian Bank. I am very disappointed in this company as the price has fallen significantly in addition to dividends cut a few years back.
its in my registered account, so cannot utilizes the losses
My question, Do you think that they are a potential take over target? Perhaps TD?

With BCE, again very disappointed in this company. With their recent dividend cut, do you think we have seen bottom on stock price? I do see that it has had some growth lately, but it has a long way to go

With CGO, Do you think that their is an opportunity for both Telus and Cogeco to merge? Or see CGO as a take over target now?

Thank you

Q: GSY has been on a bit of a recovery run lately; is this the stock overcoming past weakness or due to business trends that are favorable for its growth? It has earnings coming up and has done well into them but if they report a higher than expected loss provision then the stock is likely to take a hit after its recent gains.

Any thoughts on what's driving the strength of GSY?

Q: I purchased a 3.5% position in BRK after the announcement that Buffet was stepping down. I chose BRK over FFH. I am down 6.5% so far.

I can take this as a buying opportunity and increase my position in BRK to 5%.

I can also sell half of my BRK position for a tax loss and buy an equal amount of FFH.

I can also do nothing. I am a growth investor in my late seventies.

What would you do in this situation?

Thank you
