Q: Peter,

In the recent ETF newsletter it mentions the numerator in the Free cash flow calculation is arrived at by subtracting operations cash flow from its capital expenditures. I don't believe this is correct. Should it not be subtract capital expenditures from total cash flow?

Thanks

Q: An alien spaceship lands outside your office. The alien leader, Blaarg, walks (crawls? slithers? floats?) into your office and says "We just sold some diamonds we brought with us, and got $10 million of your colourful Canadian currency. We want to invest in some of your Canadian stocks, about 12 - 15 of them. Please do so for us. We are going to tour your solar system for a decade. We particularly want to check out the volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and the rings of Saturn. When we return we expect to have made at least a 10% annual return. If the return is less than that, we will destroy your planet. Have a nice decade".

Which Canadian stocks are you going to select for the aliens?

Q: Hi Team,
I am sitting on a small position of roblox in a US cash account with a 56% loss. Would you recommend holding this name with expectation of an eventual comeback ? Or is it time to cash out and accept the capital loss? If so what name would be your favourite to buy today with the funds either US or Cnd regardless of sector for a 10yr hold?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: I‘m a happy shareholder of BBD since 2022. I took profit from time to time including early May’24.
I don’t understand the rise from $63 to $91 since earnings release (up 16% on Wednesday).
BBD got many upgrades from analysts around $100, but this stock is not cheap anymore.
Close to a MEME stock? Or any good news this week? Thanks for your services and patience.

Q: Both PBH and PLC don't seem to want to recover from their poor recent performance despite each having had decent quarters. Investors just don't seem interested in them and I am also becoming less so and thinking of selling at a loss. Is there a case for continuing to hold?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Given the current direction of the Canadian economy, my goal is to focus the majority of my investments in the US. According to Portfolio Analytics, currently 53% of my portfolio is US, 46% Canadian (the remainder being international). I believe my US holdings are significantly under-rated given the Canadian stocks I hold. I would appreciate ballpark figures regarding the US/international component of the following TSX listed stocks: WSP, TFII, BIPC, BEPC, BAM, BN, and HPS.A. This will enable me to get a better handle on what my actual US/international holdings are. Thank you.
