Investment Q&A

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

Q: I bought LLY on your advice a few weeks ago and it has been declining ever since. I am now down 14.6%, marking the steepest decline over this same period of any stock I own. All things being equal, my general rule of thumb is to cut the chord when stocks decline by 15% to minimize future losses. In LLY's case, I hold it in a non-registered account and can thus claim a tax loss. I confess to being disappointed by the stock's recent performance as part of my purchasing decision was driven by your very strong endorsement immediately prior to my purchase. (You had rated the company as a 9/10 for safety and 9/10 for growth.) If you were me, would you wait for LLY to eventually turn around (as I'm sure it will at some point) or are there greener pastures out there?

Q: Thanks for a recent suggestion for U.S. exposure in an open CAD account - HXS.

In my RRSP I was going to add BRK.B and was surprised by its low PE ratio of about 9. Is this correct? Maybe there is a better metric to use to evaluate this equity(?)

AVNV seems to be the perfect non-U.S. compliment in my RRSP (except for that bit of exposure it has to Canada…which is fine). I like the fact that it is an international Value ETF - a mixture of large, small and Emerging Market. I doubt there a better comparable option, but figured I’d ask if you are aware of one.

Q: Hi Peter, what are your thoughts on the BRK earnings, big sales of APPl, and the $271B horde ? Warren loves Insurance and has been buying Chubb shares; could he take a run at it with its ~$100B Valuation ? Any other thoughts appreciated as its our biggest position. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i
Thoughts on TEAM? Would you put it on watch...It's not one of my finest and with a tech heavy weight could provide funds for another name.
Thanks

Q: Would you kindly provide 4 US stocks and 4 CDN stocks that would be your best bets today to increase in value by 1000% over the next 10 years. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
What is your opinion on Amazon's results? Buying opportunity? Would you use the decline in share price of constellation over the last two days as way of buying more? Is Teledoc a sell at this point and does the theme of remote healthcare no longer hold as it did during covid? thanks a bunch

Q: Looking for tax-loss proxy ideas for CAN: DCBO and US: NXT, SMCI, and PLTR. If there are simply better names to consider as replacements, those would be appreciated as well. Thank you!

Q: These companies are often discussed as rivals. In light of SMCI’s results, what do you think of the prospects for HPE and DELL in relation to SMCI? If you had to rank them, which ones get the gold, silver and bronze?
