Investment Q&A

Q: what happened today with the big decline ... also, i am invested in FTT, is this a hold for now ...thx

Q: Hello guys,
I was hoping you could rate the current buy-ability of these industrial discretionary companies (byd,doo,mg,tt,sis) and of these clothing discretionary companies (goos, lulu,nke, atz) with 10 being a great buy, for new money. Any concerns, and is there anything similar that you like better?

Thanks,

Peter

Q: Hello. what's happening with Topicus and Sylogist both going down lately. Is it safe to buy Topicus today or wait for a better/lower price which is ? I own Sylogist, made 15% gain should I sell it ? Otherwise can you recommend today 5 good value Canadian co's. I own goeasy and thank you for your recommendation

Q: I have held CJT for a while, in a taxable account. I am down about 13%. In previous Q&A, 5I has leaned towards TFII when discussing these 2. On the other hand, CJT was covered in a 5I article a few weeks back, something like, "Growth on Sale", for stocks that had dropped a lot in the recent rotation but seemed to show potential to recover. And then there is CJT's deal with Amazon which also seems to be a good positive. So, although you have answered before, which of the 2 would you currently invest in. The tax loss offers some solace and benefit for a switch, but then there is a possible recovery??? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: If you held CNR shares, would you continue to hold considering the recent weakness?

Q: Hello,

Can you comment on CAE earning? Also, what is your opinion on HIVE?

Thank you very much!

Q: Currently own CNR and am concerned about the KCS merger. Do you think the share price can recover IF the merger is approved? What if its not approved? Some major share holders think that CNR is taking a large risk and are over-paying/ My understanding is this decision could take up to a year to be decided. Would you SELL CNR and move to CP while this sorts out (no impact tax wise) or continue to HOLD until things get a little clearer to shareholders.
Thanks for your thoughts

Q: Lumber futures are in a bear market now. Would you think the lumber trade is over? is something worse going on with WEF then compared with other lumber companies?
Time to sell?

Q: Could I have your opinion on Russell Metals -does it have room to go higher - is it a buy, hold or sell.
Thank you

Q: What's your view on the company at the moment, any upside on the stock or or more a sideway movement for income only? thx

Q: Hi group why do you continue to recommend LUN I bought it 3 mths ago for the copper play and so far is is not performing well as copper continues to rise. looks like a sell to me

Also can you shed any light on lumber prices it has been dropping like a stone is the sector consolidating or is the drop the real deal. WEF has been hit particularly hard any idea why Thanks for your guidance

Q: I have a full position on "CNR", and wonder if I should change to "CP" instead since CP outperformed CNR last couple of years.

Thanks.

Q: Considering latest volatility and recent sector rotation with rising interest concerns, What would be your top 3 recommendations right now in following sectors for investor with 10+ year time frame. This is for RRSP Growth/balance polio
1. Consumer discretionary/Consumer Cyclical

3. Industrials
4. Financials
5. Materials

Thanks for your valuable guidance

Q: I just took a position in NTR because of the recent high prices for crops (corn and such) under the thought that this should drive demand as the farmers should have more cash and a reason to increase acreage planted. Is this a reasonable thought process. If you look at NTR as a trading stock what are the things to look out for to realize the ballgame is almost over and how early (what inning) is it now.

Q: YTD, CNR is down about 8 % yet CP is up 9 %. They are both in bidding war. Why such a discrepancy in YTD performance? What is the market seeing?

Q: In a growth orientated TFSA I hold Real that I am tempted to sell and replace with Nuevi is this a good idea? (Oddly Real is up today and Nuevi is down)

Q: Both (pho) Photon Control & (ish) Inner Spirit have recently become companies of merger. MKSI to buy all shares of PHO & SNDL to buy all shares of ISH.

Would you suggest continue holding these shares of PHO & ISH to become shares of the new companies. Or would it be better to sell now at the higher share value before the mergers are complete?

Thank You

Q: Thoughts on earning reports this morning? Thanks.

Q: interfor is putting out a special 2.00 dividend. Do you think it would be a good time to buy this stock and what is the outlook for the future.

Q: As I write this, Friday mid afternoon, all of the markets are sharply higher. Gains seem to be pretty much across the board. I like to look at outliers that are bucking the trend. There are a few stocks that you have been optimistic about that are actually down today. Wondering if any of these are not as favoured by the market, given their performance today. Perhaps issues with recent results. Understanding that you can't read too much into one day's trading, but several of these have dropped quite a bit lately, and I'm wondering what your current feelings would be on buying these today for a long term hold in a diversified portfolio. Would you give each a rating from 1 to 10 as to how strongly you would want each of these in a portfolio? BYD, CSU, CTS, DOO, DND, ENGH, LNF, PBH, REAL, STC.
