Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is there a chance that companies like NVEI, APPS, NVDA etc can lose up to 50% of their value with an upcoming recession. Im hoping you will answer unlikely as there is an inflection point where stocks have been beaten up so bad it would start getting ridiculous.

Thanks Steve

Q: Retired conservative investor whose only tech holding is HTA ( 5% total portfolio). Looking at either CSU or Shopify as next purchase. Which of these would you prefer to “ dip your toe “ further into the tech sector ? Also, is my weighting of HTA appropriate ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: Tough question for sure, but disregarding other personal factors (eg, diversification etc), if you could buy 3 Cdn stocks and 3 US stocks given YOUR assessment of the investment/economic landscape, what would they be? Let's say the only parameter is performance over the next 12 months.

Q: I note that you just added TCS to your growth portfolio and it dropped like a stone today about 8%. Any comment on what might have caused the drop. Fortunately, I bought my shares just off the bottom today and it has recovered somewhat.

Q: What is your opinion of Shopify as a worthwhile investment? Quite a drop in price over the last year from $180 to $48. What did they do wrong or is it a tech market pricing issue? Are they well managed - is their future positive? Recently watched Brian Madden of First Avenue on BNN he was very positive on this company.
Thanks

Q: DND is up 16% currently. After its repurchase of shares do you anticipate the share price will drop back to 11.50 or will it sustain its gain.

Not trying to ask you to be a fortune teller but just share your experience with what has happened to other company share prices in this instance.


want to know if I should take advantage of this jump in price.

Q: Hi, if I were to sell SYZ for a tax loss, would you replace it with SHOP or KXS ? Or simply buy back SYZ. Who do you like for a long term hold. I also have CSU.
Thanks, Merry Xmas, looking forward to 2023

Q: My question is about share compensation. My understanding is that, share compensation is recorded at fair market value at the time of issue. I wonder how many companies recorded higher costs for share compensation and lower GAAP profits, given last year's run up in valuations? Year over year the amounts seem out of whack for many companies.

Q: Hi Guys
What do you think of the management team spending like drunken Sailors on 250,000 square feet of office space in the knew splashy Welltower building in Toronto. Not only that, but when the stock was flying it exercised options to take on another 90,000 square feet.
Sounds like arrogant kids to me.
Thanks Gord
