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: 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 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: 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: 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."

Q: I bought DOO and now down almost 20%. Are these guys run by the same Bombardier family that runs BBD? Knowing how you guys feel about Bombardier I would be surprised you'd recommend a company run by Bombardier. Can you please advise who they are run by. And also, I would like your opinion on if it is time to dump it, hold it or add to it? Thanks

Q: Hi.

What companies are good investments for the short and long term now that the NAFTA agreement is negotiated? re DOO, MG, NFI. Also, how about PBH for a long term investment? Which Gaming company has better growth potential between TSGI and GC?

Thank you

Q: I have never liked the "bought deal" type financings that seem to be the way things are done in Canada, but I have to admit that as a holder of DOO watching the steep sell-off after the recent secondary offering priced in US$ was no fun. TD was offering the shares to clients with the price "TBD within the context of the market". The shares dropped about 15% in the days following the announcement when the issue was priced. Can you briefly explain how the pricing is determined for offerings such as this one. Do they simply wait for the market reaction and then set the price where the shares end up on the pricing date? What are the sellers and buyers obligations? Can the sellers just change their mind if the market reacts too harshly and say "thanks but no thanks, we will keep our holdings rather than sell at a 15% discount?
