Investment Q&A

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

Q: I sold these earlier these in a panic , to avoid losing what was left of a fantastic profit : I am OK on the 30 day rule . Technicals seem to be hooking upward and this appears to be an opportunity . I suppose repurchasing is considered bottom fishing but they pass the "would you BUY this stock today?" question .... so would you ?

Q: QUIS has been a significant disappointment for some years now and appears to have changed its business profile at least once along the way, such that even now there is a current apparent need to make a substantial progress. So the question is there a reasonable prospect that the recent announcement involving Visa will have a significant impact on this company's sales and profitability?

Q: Hi there, can you please provide insight into BOXD.US, looks quite interesting here from a trading perspective, but how about from a longer term investment view?

Anything catch your attention regarding financials, ratios, management, board, etc?

I believe management and board have been buying strongly at bottom here, please confirm?

Thanks!

Q: In a recent question you answered that a switch from engh to syz is a good move today. Can you expand on that recommendation a bit more as SYZ doesn't appear to be a clear winner over ENGH.
1. The div is bigger but how secure based on the SYZ high payout ratio.
2. ENGH is bigger and would likely be less risky and equally benefit from the eventual stock market recovery
3. ENGH has historically been a highly rated company by 5i ( still showing as a rarified earth A-)

Unfortunately I hold ENGH in a registered account so cant justify the switch to harvest a loss. But I am wondering if it is time to move on...5 yr hold, hybrid balanced/income portfolio follower who has been slowly shifting from balanced to income. I do like high yield Canadian small caps although I find I am migrating more towards larger more stable names as I near retirement.

Q: I sold NVDA to accrue a tax loss and I can now buy it back. You were extremely high on the company 12 - 18 months ago but you have been naming other semi-conductor companies lately - QCOM and AMD specifically when asked about the sector. Have you cooled on NVDA and should I just stay with my proxy, AMD, or I am splitting hairs here and would you be comfortable with returning to NVDA for the long term?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: In your answer to my previous question on SYZ you said that earnings are expected to decline in 2022 but grow at a faster rate in 2023 .... Can I assume that the Simply Wall Street link I referenced is incorrect in their claim that earnings will decline by 32.4% PER year for the next three years ? .... Which I would assume to be 2022, 2023, and 2024 ...... If this is true I'll likely avoid the stock so I want to verify it's accuracy ......

Q: Earlier today you replied to a question with: "We are not big fans of averaging down, but if we were to do it BAM.A would likely be near the top of the list. When 'the market' brings down all stocks we are more comfortable buying more as opposed to when a company in isolation declines. We are not worrried about BAM getting through this market and/or upcoming recession. "

Please list 5 cad and 5 usd stocks that would be in your top list that would meet the above criteria.

Thx.

Q: SANM.US appears to be one of those under-the-radar tech companies that provides design and services to other companies rather than relying on retailing a product. Stock has been impervious to tech downturn so far. Can you provide a general comment on its key metrics mentioning comparables/competitors?
