Q: CVO is weak out the gate this morning (down 6%) yet I can't find any indication of negative news that might prompt this decline. Any ideas?

Q: The Market Data for Nutrien shows a slight decline in earnings from 2023 to 2024 and yet analysts have a median price target of $103.95. If earnings are expected to flat line why would analysts expect price appreciation for the stock?

Thanks

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on the CN Rail's deal to acquire Iowa Northern Railway ? Is it material? Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal is still subject to US STB review. How does this deal position CN Rail against its competitors ? Does it make CNR stock more appealing to buy? Thank You

Q: I have held MFC for decades, have enjoyed the dividend but have had less than 1% pa capital growth with lots of volatility. I am seeing PFE near five-year lows and paying a dividend yield slightly higher than MFC. MFC is in my RRIF so there are no capital gains or dividend taxation issues to consider. My weighting in health care stocks and financial stocks are about the same, so there are no sector allocation issues. MFC seems to be finally moving higher and the interest rate environment should help it in the longer term, making me wonder if I should hang in. Especially with MFC still trading around 8 x earnings, it could easily move up 50% and still trade at a multiple comparable to its financial peers. However, I am intrigued by the opportunity to switch into PFE for a better yield and longer term growth. Would you make the trade to PFE or stick with MFC?

Q: I am looking to redeploy some cash,
Of these three companies, which do you prefer as an investment and why?

Q: The Rule of 40 is a SaaS financial ratio which states that a healthy SaaS company has a combined growth rate and profit margin of 40% or more.

Do you prescribe to this rule? Why is this specific to SaaS companies and not other industries?

Q: Hello
Why the bump today? Report due tomorrow. Would seem a bit odd for the stock to add 4 % pre reporting do you agree?

Q: Hi. I'm currently over weight in Consumer Defensives (BYD, PBH & PRWM) and under weight in Industrials (WSP, TFII, STN & SIS).
I'm thinking of selling PRMW and buying EIF. Based on future prospects do you think this trade makes sense. I intend to hold for a few years. Thanks!

Q: I know it's outside your mandate but do you know of a good analysis software that takes taxes and investment returns with rrsp's ,tfsa's cash accounts and cpp into account . We have been investing on our own for 40 years and just don't want to give an advisor 1 to 2 % of our money. Thanks for any recommendations.

Q: I do not understand why the Canadian dollar has risen relative to the USD$ recently. The price of oil is declining, our government debt is increasing again, productivity is low and business investment in Canada is almost non-existent. Why is the Canadian dollar currently getting stronger?

Q: Just a comment - I like the "popular" voting function that you introduced. I don't see it as a voting competing at all. Rather, I find it's interesting to check to see what questions other readers have considered noteworthy by searching "popular" questions. Thank you.

Q: Thoughts on qsr

Q: Good morning,

Do you think it may be prudent to swap out Franco Nevada shares now (considering the growing list of political/legal headwinds) for something else?

If so can you give a Canadian suggestion for gold exposure, along with two other picks (any sector) for a possible year-end through January bounce (CAD or US)? Thanks. Brad
