Investment Q&A

Q: Looking to add one of these (or perhaps a 1/2 position of each) in a TFSA. Your thoughts on each? Which one do you prefer?

Q: Follow up to--- DOO--- question yesterday. Can you please comment on the share sell/buy by the Bombardier Family over the last six months?

Q: Doo ---- a darling growth company (great fundamentals, innovation, marketing, worldwide distribution etc. Until August.

In August major owners did something with a big bunch of shares and on no further news I see the stock price on increased volume slowly to slide continuously over the next half year I was expecting some tax loss selling in Dec but do not see any bounce. Can you speculate who is likely doing the extra selling?

Do fundamentals look good enough to raise to 5% ?

Q: Your recent comments on DOO:
We think DOO is still good. Solid earnings growth is still expected, and at only 12X earnings investors are not expecting much. As rates rose investors shied away from the stock, but as rates peak (as long as jobs remain strong) we would expect confidence to return here. It has beaten estimates 8 quarters in a row and the last quarter's EPS beat by 6%.

My question:
Your comments don't suggest that the company has done anything wrong (quite the opposite really) and yet the stock has gone down by 50%. Unlike KXS, NFI, SIS, TSGI and others that had announcements that drove significant temporary declines, I can't see anything like that here. Is this stock therefore not being punished unfairly and ripe for rebound? To what do you attribute the wholesale abandonment of the stock? It would not seem that such strong selling pressure is warranted. What is the case against buying vs FOR buying?

Q: Hello learned friends,

Looking at dipping a toe with Doo. Any concerns at this point in time, or would it be prudent to wait on some positive momentum. Just some extra coins banging around that need a place to settle into. Am open to any suggestions if this doesn't float your boat!

Q: What is the estimated earnings report date for BRP? What is the estimated earnings report date for KXS? Thank you.

Q: Doo has had a wild ride , hitting a high of 70$ and back down to 35$, now its at 40$. What do you think of its future prospects?

Q: Good afternoon, I am looking to add 2 of the above stocks (or others if you recommend?) to a TFSA, I am tech heavy already (FB, AMZN, GOOGL, NFLX, NVDA) I am up on all of those still except NVDA. I own favorites GSY, SIS, PBH, TSGI already at full positions. These chosen stocks are all good companies, which are all down recently with the market pullback, which companies would you add? Thank you!

Q: I want to buy these stocks in my RRSP account for a 5 years hold. Please comment on the financial of these stocks. Why is QSR down in recent few days while the market is rising so much. Why is Warren Buffett interested in this stock . Thanks a lot .

Q: Hi Peter,
Please deduct as many credits as you see fit. I have some losers (some big) as per below:

Margin account
CLIQ down 52%
PHO down 37%
MX down 20%
TFII down 23%
ECN down 13%
NFI down 11%

TFSA
GUD down 17%
CLS down 20%
DOL down 38%
TSGI down 47%

RRSP
DOO down 43%
COV down 26%

Here are my questions.
1- Should I claim the capital loss with CLIQ and PHO and repurchase in 30 days?
2- Are there any names there that I should just sell and move on to something else? What would be your top 3 replacements for the removed names in that case?
3- My initial thought was to inject new money in CLIQ, PHO, DOL, TSGI, DOO and COV to bring these names back to my initial weight. Would this be a good move in your opinion?
These names are part of a diversified portfolio and don’t need the funds for another 10 years minimum.
Much appreciate your service. Your responses to this market volatility have kept me from panicking as I did in 2008. I thank you for that.

Q: I have a small position in shop with a very nice profit I am pondering selling it to add to tsgi gsy and kxs averaging down on these 3. the shop position is to small to sell half. what are your thoughts on selling shop and proceeding?

Q: Which of the above three stocks would you recommend purchasing for a three year investment? I hold DOO and am down substantially. Thank You.

Q: Do you think DOO is good for a 5% position. I recently bought a 3% position at 45.5 and I am thinking If I should top it up to 5%?

Q: I am now down 24% on this stock. I don't hear good things in the long term. Is it time to move on? Thanks

Q: I really can't understand DOO.
I have been investing for 15 years and have never seen this. DOO has beating earnings 9 out of the last 9 times and the stock, after reaching
$51 on Monday is now below $41.
I know there is no news to account for this drop.
Can there be something we do not know about that is the reason?
Can that sale of stock in September still have an effect on this stock?
Maybe Trump has plans to only tax Ski-Doos?

Q: They released results this morning which looks like a beat on all metrics except they expected earnings for 2019 to be $2.96 -$3.06 and expected is $3.08.
What is your take on the results and will the 2019 estimate hurt the stock
which has tumbled from $70's to the mid $40's.

Q: DOO's earnings are fast approaching. This earnings season I have adopted a policy of buying puts shortly before earnings announcements. Just did that on SIS.

I don't have a good feel for DOO. What is their rate of exceeding or missing estimates?

Given what has been happening to the stock over past number of months, do you think a long put on DOO prior to earnings has a better than 50% chance of success?

Thanks for your opinion

Q: This stock baffles me. It's down almost 50% in the past 2 months. Its drop is unrelenting. I notice when subscribers ask which stocks you'd suggest 'now' its rarely if ever listed in your response.

Is this one of those that will have to be kept in a portfolio for 5 years just to break even?

What is your outlook here?

Sheldon

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Any reason to worry here - drop off from it’s peak has been profound and continuous?
Thanks for all you do

Q: I asked this question yesterday, however it appears it was missed:
"I have some cash to allocate for RRSP & TFSA portfolios and would like your opinion for the above list for both CDA and US.
For RRSP: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today (after the stormy few days) for a more conservative hold 3-5 years, that would potentially have less volatility while continuing to grow sales and earnings.

For TFSA: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today for more growth opportunity and share appreciation in the next 3-5 years.
Please give your reasons for the ones you would choose without sector allocation considerations.
I currently hold TSGI & MX (down on both) but am ok with that."
