Investment Q&A

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

Q: When members ask questions regarding buying a stock, often a distinction is made between starting a position or adding to a position. eg. would add to an existing position but not start a position.
What is the distinction between these two ideas?

Q: Do you have any recommendations for companies, U.S. or Canadian, that demonstrate good technologies involved in energy storage and smarter distribution systems. Any market cap is fine but fundamentals should be decent. Thanks.

Q: What is your take on ATD's announced "preliminary" offer for 7-11? The market seemed to not react to this. Some time ago they contemplated a large deal to purchase Total. That was not well received and it eventually did not go forward. If the 7-11 goes ahead, what impact will there be on the share price for ATD? Would they have to take on a lot of debt or issue a large amount of shares? Many thanks

Q: Hi there, may I please have your thoughts on PEY results?

What companies are you finding interesting right now, after their 2Q results?

Any companies unjustifiably being punished, with their shares being sold off currently, that you believe is not justified and will have a good bounce within the next six months or so? ie; seems like WELL results are being misunderstood...hmm

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
I've held a stake in KEY in my RRIF since the 2020 meltdown, which is now up considerably. I'd always told myself I would divest 1/3 of it if it reached $40, and it looks like that may happen pretty much anytime. What would be your top 3 non O&G, non-utility suggestions to replace that 1/3 of KEY (which currently yields 9.48% based on my cost base). Primarily I'm looking for income, but some growth is always nice too. Aside from the exceptions noted above, sector allocation isn't a concern for me.
Or would you suggest that based on KEY's fundamentals and the healthy yield I enjoy I should set my target higher - perhaps $45.00 - and wait a while longer before divesting a portion?
Thanks for your input,
Peter

Q: I was on the verge of selling CAE until seeing that it had taken a recent jump in price in the last couple of days.

Could this mean the company's promise is finally coming to some fruition?

Would you recommend continuing with selling it as part of a portfolio clean-up or waiting and seeing if there is renewed hope on the horizon for this company?

Thanks as always.

Q: TD Web Broker shows Nutrien as trading below book value. The technical chart doesn't look very encouraging, but I see a couple of insiders have bought recently.

With a little investigation there seem to be a couple of hundred Canadian stocks trading at or below book value. Most of them don't look to be neatly as big or as strong financially as Nutrien. Do you see any gems I might have overlooked?
