Investment Q&A

Q: Any idea why acq has dropped so much after reasonable earnings.
Thanks,

Q: These three stocks along with cash , are equally held and is my entire TFSA. This represents only 2.5 % of my combined non registered account and RRSP ( RIF next year).
My feeling ( and performance )on the stocks are :

AC: ( Even )Covid rebound extent still in question, high oil prices a drag
EIF: ( Up ) solid dividend, owned long time with good results
EGLX: ( Up ) , most volatile, doing the right things in a growing sector

Am willing to take a fair degree of risk. Your opinion on the portfolio is appreciated. How would you adjust and what are some of your recommended stocks ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi Everyone!! They halted trading of the stock today. I think they were selling shares to raise money to take care of debt and get more working capital. What are your thoughts on this? Is this a positive move for the company and is it customary to halt trade when this sort of thing is happening? Cheers, Tamara

Q: 10:55 AM 11/15/2021
I am interested in Canadian companies that stockpile data and business information and provide this information on a one-time or subscription basis for reoccurring income. It seems they have strong moats
I really like dividends but I sense that these may all really all growth companies except for ISV
I am currently looking at DND, TRI, and ISV so far
Are there other companies with similar businesses?
Could you please compare all these companies for expected share price growth, debt, POR, dividend growth, etc., and place them in a list of desirability.
Is it better to forego a nice dividend as in ISV, and just go for growth?
If that's the case then why not just cut to the chase and buy CSU in our TFSAs and wait 10+ years?
Thank you.......... Paul W. K.

Q: I have had Weston for 5 years finally up, good time to sell?

Q: I want to consider buying a small group of stocks (5-10) that would capture the future growth (my assumption) of electric vehicles. These could be vehicle manufacturers, companies supplying key input/parts or other beneficiaries of EV growth. Do you have suggestions?

Q: QSR considering that the 3yr revenue growth is 0.05%, what is the company's long term plan to increase its revenue and earnings going forward? what other companies in this area have better prospects for increasing revenue and earnings?

Q: I am looking to offset some capital gains received this year from PEO and PHO (thanks!). Currently I have the following holdings in a loss position, in order of dollars down: TDOC, TV, XBC, HAL, XEG, NFI, SQ, TECK.B, XTC, WELL, ENGH, PLTR. I would need to sell the first six to fully offset the gain, or could sell more if using those in a smaller loss position. How would you rank these holdings in order of selling, and which of these would you look to buy back after 30 days (if any)? Note that these are held within a broad portfolio that I am also looking to consolidate.

Q: Thanks Peter. Your services have been very educational and rewarding. Had a good year. This is my first year of subscription and I just upgraded to the full Investor suite services. All the Q&A and research reports have been very helpful. It has made me more disciplined in my decisions as well as provided greater insights to the Investment process

As the end of the year, I am reflecting on the investments done in the year. I seek you opinion to opinion some of those as under. Position size or Industry allocation is not an issue. Time horizon is long 4+. No tax consequences and have patience; there is no need to raise cash

A. Stocks with above average returns-

ATZ 62%, TOI 72%, SIS 39%, TFII 19%, DOO 19%, NVEI 49%, WSP 32%, SHOP 19%, GSY 72%, U 106%

Do you recommend continuing to hold all of them? Would you consolidate sell some and add to some?
Would you endorse Investing new fund in 1 or 2 of them at current price to go to full position

B. Under performing stocks (loss/down)-

AT 56%, CTS 8%, EGLX 40%, LSPD 8%, MRS 69%, QST 35%, XBC 52%, Well 26%, AMGN 10%

Do you still have the conviction in these stocks? If yes which are best 3 and why? Do you recommend selling some of them or adding to some of them?

Again, thanks for your excellent services and deduct as many credits as appropriate

Q: Hello,
I have relatively small positions in these names. Would you add to all 3 names (ignoring sectors and sizes) or which name would you add to if not all 3? Long term investment. Thank you for the great service!

Q: Would you please compare Ata and Stlc metrics and recommend one for a 2 to 3 year hold. Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and staff,
Can you please comment on the above companies and can you please rank them in terms of growth as well as volatility.

Thanks and have a great day.

Joe

Q: hello 5i:
We recently sold U: 50% gain and a bit too high valuation for us. To quote Peter: we would reduce very expensive growth stock exposure. Current tech holdings are CSU, PANW, AVGO, OTEX, TOI and DND; the latter 2 being about 1% positions. We would like to replace U with something "less" exciting and are considering TCS, APPS and QCOM as you seem to favour these stocks (like others, I read the questions/answers daily). TCS is very appealing as it looks to have a moat within the health care sector, but we also own VEEV and WELL. Is there too much overlap here? APPS is a volatile trader and not really in our wheelhouse, but is of interest. Can you make a suggestion as to how you'd replace U?
thanks

Q: I’m currently down on eglx, xbc and at, would you be comfortable adding a little to these names at these levels? Have they turned the corner, especially eglx and xbc? What would it take before adding more?

Also do you still like PLUG as a growth name? Looking to add more here. Thanks!

Q: Thinking of starting a position in Dol.Ca. What would be a reasonable entry point? What are your 3 favourite stocks in this space? Thank you as always.
Donna

Q: Hello, I own equal amounts in ATD.B. DOL, WSP, TFII, ATA and NVEI. If you were to sell 2-4 and replace them with higher growth stocks like LSPD, GSY, BAM.A, or DND, without taking into account portfolio weighting, what would you do?

Thanks,

Q: Your comments on LWRK would be appreciated.The drop of almost 10% today seemed a bit excessive or is there something I'm missing in their report? Thanks
