Investment Q&A

Q: As a follow up to my question on Target. What would be a replacement for it? I am a dividend investor with some growth stocks. I aleady have NWC, PEP, PBH and PG. Should I just add to NWC as it is low right now with the 4% dividend, add equally to these or is there a particualr peference of another such as KO?

Q: Please comments on the earning. Is it considering cheap valuation to add at current price level?

thanks!

Q: Public storage and cell tower stocks are down significantly this year. Were they simply over-valued previously? Assuming interest rates will stabilize, do you feel that they may offer above average returns going forward? Your favourites listed on US and Canadian exchanges?

Q: Please sort the list if you were assigned a task of bottom fishing.
Firstly sort them (best to worst) in terms of growth perspective for next 3-5 years.
Secondly sort them from fundamentals/safety perspectives.
Ignore diversification.
Also feel free to add your own favorite bottomed pick.

Q: Can you please give us your analysis of the reported results and your outlook for the stock.

Q: ALB-N,ICLN-N,REMAINING ALL TSE,RCI.B,FCR.UN,TCN,GOOS,NTR,TSU,NVEI
Which stocks need to sell or all of them.

Q: Trying to reduce my number of stock holdings. Have identified these 11 as small positions that can be eliminated. Intending to use the cash to add to stronger holdings. I try not to think of a stock as a "hold". There are lots of high quality names you can invest in that look better than a "hold". If you were doing a portfolio clean up, and held these as roughly 1% positions, are there any that you would be reluctant to sell?

Q: Good day,

I did some rebalancing based on your response to my Feb question. I bought GOOG which paid off, GXE which sort of didn't (yet), and held the rest, and definitely should have listened on LLY and TFII... Wow.

My NVDA took off, and I believe ZWT mostly gained from it and the mega caps as well. NWH.un continues to wallow.

I'm looking to diversify, as I'm heavily concentrated in tech and Energy. Are there any materials that you expect to have a high demand on the horizon? Similar to Uranium/Lithium

Would you take some NVDA gains, and sell ZWT (I hold AMZN, GOOG, NVDA, TSLA separately), Sell NWH, in the current market, and then where in the above sections would would distribute it? Did I miss the boat on TFII and LLY?

I've also held BNS on and off the last 5 years, would you exit that in the current interest market?

Please recommend a couple options in each of a few sectors that you find most compelling right now, thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Which of these names do you see doing best from current levels 5 yrs from now? Sq, LMN, WELL, or SHOP. I am currently holding a few shares of sq and am considering selling out for a 18% loss and putting the funds to one of the other names mentioned. Whats your thoughts ? Or should I just continue to wait for a recovery in Sq? Or if you have any other “must buy” names today that are better than all the ones mentioned I would like to hear those ideas too. The holding is inside a tfsa. Thanks for your advice !

Q: Name 5 US and 5 Canadian stocks which are severely undervalued with room to shine in 3-5 years.

Is AMT such a company?

Q: You recently dropped coverage of NFI at $11.34 after initiating coverage with an A- rating at $54.51 in November 2017, for a loss of ~80%. When you reflect, are there any lessons you take away from the experience? Did you miss something in your initial analysis? I'm curious to hear how you reflect on what in hindsight was a poor investment and if you have any new insights or changes to your approach moving forward to try and avoid similar results in the future. Looking at the company snapshot from November. 2017, would you still agree with your A- rating with the information that was known at that time?

Thanks!

Q: What do you think of the latest quarterly earnings for Martinrea ?
I used your Interactive Chart feature to compare the % share price increase over time of Martinrea and Magna - for 10 to 20 years Magna is the clear winner , but Martinrea is far better over the last 3 years . Do you think this better performance will continue over the next 2-3 years , or is a switch to Magna appropriate ?

Q: Linamar recently reported. Please provide your assessment of their results? Any reason why the share price fell from its recent high, following earnings? What is your outlook for the company going forward?

Thank you fro your excellent assistance

Q: Does the earnings release today from Canadian Tire cause concern with the stock falling almost 5 percent? Is the stock a hold or buy at these levels? If actually a sell, what other opportunities in consumer discretionary should be considered to replace this holding?

Q: AC looks to be breaking down. What is your opinion?

Q: Thoughts on Interfor Q2 results and is it more of a buy now or wait and see?

Q: Value shopper here with interest of buying and forgetting about stocks on sale with solid future potential. Are these 3 of the best for this strategy. Would you add ECN to the pile and are there others???

Q: Argh!! Not a good day on the quarterly earnings front for some of these names in my portfolio. After recent developments, would you still consider these names still a add/hold/sell?

I know hindsight is 20/20 but sometimes I wonder why I didn't put more of my capital into a stock like Constellation, which is just best in class and steady, rather than into these other names. I currently have a large position in CSU and others which largely offset these losses, but waking up to these drops of 20-30% are getting really irritating, but I understand this is the how it is. No pain, no gain! Thank you!

Q: I imagine these will be answered by the time you get to this question, but if not could you comment on earnings for the above companies??? Thanks!

Q: Your thoughts please on the quarters of these ?

Thx
