Q: I want to add a US small cap ETF and am looking at IJR, IWM and IWN. I recognize that all small caps bring higher risk, but can you please rank these 3 ETFs, with the ETF with the best quality stocks first, ie. rank in terms of lowest risk to highest risk. Does IJR generally hold stocks with higher market caps?
Thanks!

Q: Hi fellows,

These are big loosers in my TFSA, more than 50%. Do you see any chance of a significant upside for these stocks in a reasonable time frame or further deterioration ? I am tempted to liquidate them and recover a bit of cash for a better investment. What would you do if you were in my shoes ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hi Team,
Having not researched this name myself yet, what is the story behind HPS? It's an old company and looking at a 10yr chart had been flat for years between $5-$10 range. Now since 2021 it went parabolic to $84 today. What changed in its business to justify such a drastic gain? Perhaps I am a bit cynical or cautious; but I am a bit hesitant being told in the past not to invest in names that have gone parabolic so quickly? At least without a significant pullback. Thanks for your insight!

Q: Overall, I prefer small and mid-cap Canadian stocks for growth and accept the risk that goes with this. Currently, I do not have anything in the tech space and would appreciate if you would suggest a few names.

Thank you,
John

Q: hi, would you consider these more on the risky side, or just smaller cap? I read Hammond EPS around 15 which seems fine to me. I can't find an EPS on LMN?
is this a decent entry point for each? if not, what price would be a more reasonable entry point?
cheers, Chris

Q: I have owned Theratechnologies since 2018 and watched this stock fall since I purchased it. The stock has been rising the last few weeks and was up 23% on Friday. I couldn't find any exciting press releases that would explain the increase. Do you know of any reason for the recent increase?

The 5 analysts listed on Qtrade have a price target of anywhere from $5.50-$12.04. How much faith can we put in the price targets of analysts?

I was quite excited that it was up to $3.03 but just noticed there was a 4 for 1 stock split in August 2023 so my 700 shares are now only 175 shares. So rather than being down 60% I am actually down 90%. Yikes, I better not tell my wife about this trade!

My holdings in TH are only worth $530 now. Should I sell this loser now or is it worth waiting until the annual report (November year end) comes out?
