Investment Q&A

Q: I am considering uranium exposure as a long-term part of my portfolio. What do you consider to be the advantages between a position in the commodity itself (for e.g. through U.UN) versus an equity like CCO? In the equity space, would you suggest a basket of uranium miners, or simply go with CCO?

Q: These 2 darlings are now ugly ducklings. Not long ago,Shop was the biggest company in Canada overtaking perrinnel leader,RY. Recent drastic drop from $2228 H to $658,1year Low.Any reasons for the 14% haircut today besides news that it is in talks to buy startup,Deliverr. Think market does not like this type of acquistion nowadays as it will likely increase its losses & prolong its plan to profitability in this market backdrop.Is this a entry point or more pain to come. Txs for u usual great services & views Is this an entry point for GSY which got hammered today too & trading near 1yr low.

Q: I have held this company for about 5 years. Early on they paid special dividends on top of its regular dividend, which at the current price yields 4.8%. The price has had a strong run YTD and I am close to breakeven. I am looking to switch this money into either GSY, FSV, WSP, ATZ, CIGI, or TFII as I would like to take advantage of the weakness in these growth stocks. Is it time to sell the position or do you think it has room to run with the move into safe staple stocks? It seems if it can break $20 it may run quite comfortably to $22. Can you rank my list according to safety and growth prospects. Thank you.

Q: Where would you rank CROX with the above companies if one was to purchase now?

Q: Hi, I just finished reading your report on TFII which outlined it’s history of acquiring smaller trucking companies within the fragmented trucking industry. Got me too thinking about the probability of TFI making a bid for Titanium Transportation. Do you see a takeover as a possibility why or why not and the probability on a scale of 1-10 whereby 10 is most likely.

Q: If you held NTR in one of your portfolio what weight would you give it?

Thanks

Q: Thanks for your updated flash reports. I like the format. You mentioned TOI as a buy-and-forget stock.

I presume this means if you forgot you owned the stock and came upon it years later, these are the stocks you think likeliest to have appreciated nicely years from now if you just held on through the ups and downs.

With lots of volatility on the horizon (threats to global order, US internal order, pandemic, inflation, climate change), buy-and-forget sounds attractive.

What are your favourite buy-and-forget stocks in Canada?

Thanks,

Chris

Q: Me, pondering a move or two and would like your take. In a LIRA that is diversified and balanced for stability and with say 20 years to go, I hold BAMR with a weighting of 2.66%. And I'm pondering selling it and replacing with with more GOOG, current weighting of 2.67% as GOOG, for me, has a risk factor of 9 out of 10 and is highly profitable......and that would take the position weighting up to say 4.5%.And then with the remaining cash, buy a starter position in MED, with my risk factor of 6 out of 10 and with both high growth and profitability and seems to be undervalued relative to its food product peers.Or rather than MED, take a starting position in Accenture PLC, with a risk rating of 9 out of 10 and with high profitability and low risk relative to its business support service service peersNow pondering what to do....Go with an add to GOOG and take a start position with MED or ACN......or take equal starter position in both of MED and ACN???....or another option that you might suggest I consider. ........Thanks for the assistance.........Tom
