Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
Currently cruise stock prices are at an all time low. Is it reasonable to take this opportunity and make investments in the cruise industry while stock prices are cheap?
We are cruisers and have done 12 cruises in 7 years. What I know about cruising is that their passengers are very loyal, which some people doing over 40 cruises. Some people think that cruising is only for the elderly, but we are a family of 5 with 3 boys aged 7, 5 and 3 and can verify that these cruise lines have really targeted families like us with water slides, go karts, laser tag and an enormous array of activities for all ages.

Some people say they would never cruise again, but that is like saying you would never fly again. I just do not think that will happen. I do not believe these large cruise companies will go bankrupt, but I could be wrong. Specifically, Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Lines.

Q: Hello Peter,
I would like your assessment of DXCM after the earnings call. The growth rate has not tapered, the valuation on P/E and P/B looks to be in line with growth companies such as CRWD, VEEV etc. The product has now access to the european market, which probably was not part of the equation earlier quarter. Apart from the impending retirement of a senior executive, what would cause the sharp drop relative to the market?
Would this be a candidate for capital loss sale and buy in Dec or Jan?
Look forward to your thoughts.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Given that US Stock dividends in a TFSA are subject to US withholding tax, is there any particular type of stock that you would recommend for a TFSA for a senior who has moderate risk tolerance? Thanks for your help.

Q: I have noticed a lot of insider selling lately and wonder whether these actions should raise concern. I note your previous response about individuals, even insiders, wanting to use some of the profits or rebalance their investment portfolio(among a couple of good reasons), but when four individuals in the same company start cashing in, should we, the ordinary investor be concerned. What is your current position on these names?- hold or adjust?

Thank you

Peter

Q: What company(ies) would you recommend as a 'U.S. TFII.' Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,
This morning AMD announced its long rumoured takeover offer for XLNX. XLNX shareholders get 1.7 shares of AMD. CNBC reports it as a valuing XLNX at $143 per share, although AMD is under some pressure in the pre-market. I assume the long closing date of end 2021 is also a drag on XLNX upside. I may or may not hold onto XLNX. Is AMD a good buy here, with some pressure on it, in the fight against INTC or are there better growth candidates in the chip sector?
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: Please comment on their latest earnings.

Q: Hello 5i Team. I have a moderate risk tolerance and am looking to make a long term contrarian play with up to 10% of my portfolio on a couple of well established names that have been squeezed by COVID, but will ultimately endure (strong balance sheets) and prosper in a post COVID world. I can stomach volatility, but want to stay away from companies that have a higher chance of going to zero. Air Canada has caught my attention and it is well covered in your question bank. I was planning on pulling the trigger on it, but before I do, can I get a risk/reward comparison between it and Southwest Airlines. Between the two, which would you go with? For my second play, I am considering MGM Resorts International and American Express. Can I get your take on these two, and specifically for American Express, whether its business model is more inclined to benefit than the other major credit card companies once a vaccine arrives and travel starts to pick up. I realize that these are two very different businesses, but which would you go with and why?
Thank-you.
