Investment Q&A

Q: Your thoughts please on replacing NTR with SJ for a material position.

Thx

Q: Can you make sense of the recent earnings and SP reaction?

Q: What seems to be causing the volatility in the stock, post earnings ? It was supposedly a solid quarter and SPA issues appear to have been put to rest.

Thank You

Q: The more growth portion of my cash portfolio ( which is full of financials, utilities etc) now consists of BN, GSY and LMN and have been very happy with them ( thanks to you).

Now am looking at one of the 3 highlighted companies. I have not been in oil for years and do not see the price of oil being in an upward trend , however CNQ seems to be favoured by many analysts. I am impressed with TFII earnings in a sector that is experiencing softness. FSV , again , has reported good earnings with their newly acquired roofing business leading the way.

I suspect you would pick any of this 3 as my next acquisition. Should I throw a dart and see which one I hit or does one stand out from the others ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: I have held West Fraser for some time, sold to take out my original investment cost and have been holding the remainder for a few years wondering if or when housing demand will start to boost the lumber/panel prices.

I think now, or soon, is a time to consider adding a different company, near the bottom of the cycle in preparation for a trend of rising prices. Canfor is going to be challenged with BC fibre supply in the interior of BC as a result of fires and government policy, while Interfor has (I think) diversified nicely into the US; Canfor less so.

I already own Home Depot and would like to add another producer; Interfor, Canfor or a strong US producer. Your insights on your "top 2" companies would be appreciated.

As always, Thanks very much.

Q: I've been reading opinions that the tech sector has topped, especially in the US. Wondering if I should be proactive and trim my tech holdings. Do you see a possible downturn in tech stocks?

Thanks

Q: Can you please provide your outlook on Storage Vault Canada? I found the total debt to EBITDA ratio is 11 times. Would this concern you when considering adding this stock?

Q: hi, if I sold about half of my SHOP, what would be your top 3 US and CDN stocks to consider as replacement? this is in my RRSP. cheers, and thanks! Chris

Q: Western forest Products (WEF) has really taken a pounding. It reports its second quarter results on July 31. west fraser already reported and the shares have been rising. I know they are different forestry companies but was the lift in share value because there is optimism in the forestry industry or was it specific to West Fraser. I was thinking of averaging down on my WEF holding just because the share price is so low. The market cap is only about 130 million and I believe that WEF still has little debt so my way of thinking is, "this can't go much lower!!" Surely all their 6 sawmills, industrial land, three manufacturing plants and all their timber rights have to be worth more than 130 million!!! Or am I looking at this all wrong?

Q: Your comments please on earnings of FSV and WCN.

Thanks

Q: I bought this stock, because I thought there was a pent-up demand for new pilots. I have lost 10 -15%, since I bought it, now for the last couple of years it has gone no where, but sideways. So, is there actually a shortage of pilots?
Also, what is the forecast for the remainder of this year and next year. I am seriously thinking of selling. Now I am looking for your advice as to whether to sell this stock or keep it.
Thank you
Earl

Q: Is there a reason why CNR has so poorly in the last week or so.

Ernie

Q: Could you rank the above stock to currently for a long term hold. Thanks

Q: Hi wonder team!

Analysts have been downgrading LULU as of late and today it hit its lowest share price since 2020. I’m underwater on it and wondering if you still have confidence it will rebound in the next 12-18 months?
(Respecting this is a shorter time frame)

Are there other consumer stocks you think have more upside in the next 18 months that you would do a swap for?

Thanks so much to all of you for your guidance!

Q: Hi Guys

At the current stock prices looking out 3 years would today you be a buyer of Lululemon or Artzia?

Thanks

Stuart
