Investment Q&A

Q: WHAT INVESTMENTS CANNOT BE BOUGHT FOR THE TAX FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT (TFSA) ?

Q: I just wonder about the analyst upgrades and downgrades reported by the Globe&Mail today on NTR. Here is the exact quote:

* Berenberg’s Aron Ceccarelli downgraded Nutrien Ltd. (NTR-N, NTR-T -1.84%decrease) to “hold” from “buy” and dropped his target to US$49 from US$92. The average target on the Street is US$85.59.

If the downgrade is so substantial (U.S. $49 vs. average of U.S. $85.59) don't they required some additional explanation? These "experts" should know many investors would take the numbers at face value and perhaps make some eventually regrettable decisions. Maybe the Globe just can't include all the details in such a short blurb, but if the numbers are so material should either the analyst, or the Globe, provide more details?

What's your view on this? And would you by any chance have those missing details? Thanks.

Q: With the recent decline in its price, do u see a possibility of dividend cuts?
Who would be a closest competitor for NTR?
Thank you as always

Q: Good morning,

In this group can you tell me which one to keep, to hold, to sell and add at this moment.

Thank you

Q: I would like to buy a railroad for my son's portfolio. I note the Cdn railroads are currently more expensive on a PE basis than the US rails. This would be a long-term hold (he is 29 yoa, and going into RSP). What would be 5i's preferred choice? If you think CP or CNR, I am not opposed to waiting for a more favourable entry point.

Q: Can you please comment on MX's latest earnings report? Would you be comfortable buying at the current share price, especially considering the expected new production from its Geismar project in Q4 2023?

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: I own CLF. It has been a disaster, down 30% in a year.

Competitors such as GGBM & STLD have held up much better.

Can you assess the prospects of CLF and provide an opinion as to whether to hold or add to CLF or sell and move into a company like GGB with a 14% yield.

Thanks.

Q: your thoughts on their earnings?
Would you call this a buy right now?
Are there insider positions and if so what are they?

Q: With a sale off the table there's not much positive here, but the price reflects that.
Emotionally it would be satisfying to capture some capital gains to offset my dental bills. Would you say there's little downside her, and the sale of the company is more likely with a better M&A environment?

Q: Your thoughts after first quarter release?

Q: At today’s prices, which of ILLM and AIF would you prefer as a long term investment for quality and growth?

Q: NFI has announced a package of initiatives which I assume are intended to address their burgeoning order book. There are a bunch of questions which arise as a result of their action including but not limited to adequacy and effectiveness, dilution, balance sheet improvement, residual problems etc. Could you please appraise their initiative and offer your comments?

Q: What do you expect from forecast release today? Do you find good reason to get in at 52 week low share price? Tks. Larry
