Investment Q&A

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

Q: The above TFSA holdings have not performed well and of course, are not eligible as tax loss harvesting. This is one of the potential downsides of TFSA investments. Please give me your thoughts on which ones you would move on from and without worrying about sectors, some replacements you think will recover well. Thanks again for your guidance.

Q: Could you provide an update on this company, in particular, its level of debt, cash flow, growth opportunities and ability to survive through the market turmoil and a recession. The company has been steadily declining for the past several months so its recent low may not necessarily be related to the volatile market. With the downturn my position is relatively small and I am trying to decide whether to hold, add, or sell outright and use the money to buy something in a similar field (beer, wine or distillery related) with perhaps more potential over the next two to three years. Thanks.

Q: Even though LNF had a good last quarter, I am having a hard time understanding why Leon's is holding up as well as it is. When you build a house or do major reno's, you need to buy or upgrade your furniture. However, if the economy and specifically the housing industry are slowing down (as they are now), your need for furniture should follow suit. Shouldn't Leon's stock price follow suit and drop off more? I must be missing something. Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: This company, like many other hotel companies, has been clobbered the last couple of weeks. Seems to be overdone in my opinion. HOT runs hotels in the smaller US markets (non-conference hotels) and they will not be hit as hard as the larger chains operating in the New York and LA markets. Any thoughts on the prospects and valuation after the drubbing?

Q: In light of the company's audit and material weakness in financial reporting, what would you suggest someone holding a full position of one's growth portfolio? It is very close to the 52 week low but given the size, should it really matter? Get out at any cost, or count it as dead money until it gets back on its feet with outsized percentage returns? Is it fair to say the business model has little financial risk; mostly it is the reputation that fetches clients?

Q: Hello,
Im wondering What you think of these two companies now that they have come down significantly in price. Do you see it as an opportunity to slowly wade in or stay on sidelines.
Do you believe they will survive this crisis? Do they have high debt level?

Thank you

Q: If the impact of Coronavirus leaves a "stay at home" legacy do you think Upwork is a company that stands to benefit and grow (like Etsy for skilled labour)? My understanding is that it's a marketplace for those with skills to meet companies in need. Do you see it as one to benefit immediately and in an ongoing when conditions improve? Would you endorse scaling into this?
