Q: Hi Peter,

You had this qn on Jan. 23, 2023:

My sister wants to invest in 10 Canadian stocks that are relatively safe in terms of capital preservation but which offer possible dividend and growth . Hopefully the stocks would be in different sectors that you would recommend.

Now, for a 5 yr + time period, what 11 US quality stock from each sector would you recommend ?

Please deduct as many credits as necessary.

Thanks a million.

Q: Hello,

I have small positions in these 6 stocks, all in the red - MTCH, ROKU, GNRC are in registered accounts, RBLX, UPST, ZM in non-registered. I don't find it easy to sell any stocks but in the spirit of 'pulling weeds', can I get your opinion on which of these, if any, you would sell. Any that might be worth adding to at their current valuation?

Thank you for your insights, Doris

Q: This offshore drilling company (Transocean) stock price has increased 111% over the past 12 months.

Many rigs are still on previous leases at much lower prices/day rates than the current new leases being executed.

Assuming rig count stays the same (does not increase like it did in 2022), but expiring leases renew at recent rates with existing or new customers, what is the fundamental outlook for the next 3 years or so (approximately)?

The stock price has been very volatile...$0.81 in October of 2020, $84 in 2011, and currently at $7. Trying to get a better grasp on the fundamentals here in the above scenario that should translate to the stock price...

Q: Apart from small positions in LMT and NOC, I would like to build my defense position. I am a GARP investor, not focused on yield in this sector. I note your concern about LHX at 15x EBITDA. Overall, how would you rate these stocks or others in the sector that you like for 3-5 year hold and advise buy prices. Would you consider AXON in this sub-sector or industrial good more generally.

Q: It looks like LNTH’s fortunes changed fairly dramatically on or about Feb. 24th 2022. At the time there were two press releases; Feb. 23rd re: FDA approval of new manufacturing facility, and Feb. 24th Q4 and full year 2021 Financial Results. Do you know which precipitated the sharp rise in share price, or was it a combination of both? Just trying to figure out exactly what the market might have loved so much at the time, and if you think it is still proving out? Thank you for any insight you might have.

Q: Hello Peter,

I think the market either goes down some or takes a breather for a couple of weeks as it digests the probability of a higher peak interest rate. I would like your opinion please.
In that context I am thinking of taking some profit on some of my long term positions that have rebounded with the intention of raising cash and legging in again as the rebound happens. At the same time I like them a lot and do not want to keep chasing after I sell. Just want to manage my risk without options.
In the semiconductor space I have a full position in NVDA and QCOM and half positions in ON and AMD. How would you suggest I trim, or should I go along for a bumpy ride?
As regards CRWD, I am in a conundrum. I like the space and it is my only holding there. It is also expensive. How would you suggest I manage the risk from here- I do not trade options.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Regards
Rajiv
