Investment Q&A

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

Q: For a conservative investor and a long-term hold in a TFSA:
a) which has more room to run from current valuations in your opinion, ATD or BEP.
b) If you didn’t need the cash dividends right now, would you invest in BN over BEP.UN to maximise return and mitigate downside risk?
Thanks kindly!

Q: some financial advisors worry about the yield curve predicting difficult economic times to come sometime in the next year or two. Does this play a factor in your market models? Does it suggest caution? I would assume actual company results, earnings growth etc remain primary, but how does one incorporate this type of info without drowning in endless market noise?

Q: Still holding MG as it approaches the Covid lows.


My question has to do with the financial health of the company, and is its dividend supported if we finally enter the long awaited slow down/recession. I've scanned past questions and would like to know if your 2025/2026 views of this company have changed. It would also be great to reflect its current valuation over past cyclical downturns.

Thx.

Q: Follow Up from my recent question.

A couple questions weren't answered, but can the following one be addressed?

4. AMD. Is it worth holding the 2nd fiddle? Would it be better used in something in 1st in a different space? like AVGO or QCOM?

With your answer to SMCI from my previous question, do you have an idea based on multiples, etc that you could see an achievable price target at for 12 months?

And Finally, the last couple weeks have been ROUGH. In the other answers I've seen you mention issues with the Election, Recession fears, and just general fear with earnings coming. Are we in for a rougher ride? I know that not being invested for the few key days in a period of time drastically reduces total returns over a period, but do you foresee one of those key days coming say, by the end of the year? Would it be prudent for an investor in times like these to say, go to say 25, 50, or 75% cash? Which?

I picked up PRL and ASPN after your response to mine and other questions, and am 10 and 20% down. Did I jump the gun? Worth going to a full position in the current turbulence? Or is it worth a steadier broad market etf or energy Utility until things calm down?
