Q: Do you have any preferences/comments for the cybersecurity space looking at medium term growth (ie 5 to 10 years)? The leading names appear to be in the US (ie Intel, Cisco, IBM) and then there are the most recent names - PANW and FEY-Q.

thank you,
Janice

Q: Hi Team,

Can we get your assessment of Solium, Legacy & BioSyent under current market conditions, debt levels, survivability and prospects over the next couple years. Would legacy be able to withstand a sustained period of low oil prices?

As always, thanks for the hand holding during these difficult times. It made a difference for some of us.

Q: I have some money set aside and would like to take advantage of the pullback and buy 2 industrial stocks and 2 consumer stocks. I already own BGI.UN and DH, and the rest of my portfolio is well balanced in other sectors. I am looking at a long term hold with a view of overall return combining growth and div.
I'm looking at the following stocks in Consumer: SJR.B, BCE, T, PJC.A and ATB.B
And the following in Industrial: WTE, CAE, CNR, MG and AC.B
Could you suggest 2 in each sector (or suggest another stock that may be preferable to my choices) and let me know the basics of the choice?
Thanks so much, Kim

Q: I am in the process of rebalancing my portfolio to better match my target sector allocation. I am currently underweight in both healthcare and utilities. My only holding in healthcare is the US ETF (XLV), and my only utility holding is Brookfield Renewable (BEP.UN). Can you suggest one or two other names in each of these sectors that you would recommend for new buying at this time. In the Utility space I would prefer something other than a power producer since I already hold Brookfield. Could Telus (which I don’t own) be considered similar to a utility? My goal would be moderate growth with a long (several year) time horizon but in particular I like companies that are likely to hold up better than their peers in the event of a market downturn.

Q: I note on Sept 24 the CEO moved 147k shares ($2.6M worth) to different accounts - including $540k worth to his RRSP. Is it safe to assume this was purely for tax reasons, and can we infer he thought the stock was finding a bottom at $18?
It's amazing that the company easily raised $100M at $29 just 6 months ago. At 1/2 that price it appears a compelling buy.
Thanks for your thoughts on the company.

Q: Hello Peter and team,

I would like to increase my exposure to the technology sector (10% to 15% of my portfolio). Currently it is 6.2% of my portfolio (4.1% in CSU and 2.1% in AVO). Should I add to these stocks to increase the weighting, or would you suggest other technology stocks to complement what I have. I am considering OTC. I am a medium risk, buy and hold investor (hold for 3+ years).

A similar question with consumer staples. I only have ATD.B and it is 3.8% of my portfolio. Should I add more to this stock, or would you suggest another stock to complement what I have.

I know it is practically against the law of investing to average down, but I could not resist picking up some AVO today at $13.52. Sir John Templeton said to “buy at the point of maximum pessimism”, and there has been a lot of pessimism lately on that stock. Easier said than done. I have not been able to tell when the point of “maximum pessimism” is reached until long after it has occurred. However, what gauges would you use to help you pinpoint the point of maximum pessimism for a company?

Q: 1.Is INTERTAIN GROUP (IT) the next AMAYA?
2. Why doesn't anyone talk about WARRANTS here or on BNN. I've made a lot of quick $$$ on them, and lost a lot on Gold Warrants. e.g. I bought AYA.wt.A @ $2 and sold them @ $13. I was an idiot....and should have sold half and waited to sell the rest at double that.
I recently bought IT.wt @ $0.89 and it is now trading @ $4.70, so I ask again, is this the next AMAYA???

Thank you! Austin
