Investment Q&A

Q: Over the past few months my portfolio portfolio performance has been really underperforming mainly due to short reports.

Yes, I had a 7% weighting in LSPD and a 6% in NVEI. So the drops as you can calculate has hampered performance.

If you look at the reminder of the balanced portfolio and the growth portfolio which of the holdings would you you think could be most vulnerable to another short attack?

Just to name a few:

BYD, DSG, KXS, GSY,TOI,DND,XBC,WELL??????

Any others?

Thanks

Q: Please rank the above securities in terms of compelling buys at today’s price.
If SOFI and AFRM are already owned, is buying into GSY too redundant, or complementary ?

Thank you

Could you please recommend 5 solid names to buy in Canadian and US markets respectively when there is a market correction? Do you think it is a good time to buy them now during the current market drawdown?

If dividend is important which 3 stocks would you pick away at right now?

Q: Peter
Would this be the right time to buy into this company now or would you believe that it may still go down a bit between now and the last week of december.

Q: Is gsy a buy now do you still like it. Its being going down pretty steady.

Q: What is your favourite Canadian growth stocks? Thank you!

Q: From my selected list of growth stocks, please rate best to worst your pick for small TFSA portfolio portion of retired couples mostly div. income. Safety main concern but add others you might prefer. Trying to take advantage of tax selling. Thanks

Q: Good day. This is a follow up question to a couple of previous questions related to my daughter's TFSA account with a 5+ year hold period, moderate risk with growth and dividend prospects, Based on your responses she holds the companies mentioned in her portfolio. Based on her weightings she has enough cash left to invest in one more equity. She is considering adding either T, TIXT or LNF. In your opinion which if any would be the best choice and do you have an alternate selection and perhaps a comment on the portfolio? Thanks for your learned guidance.

Q: Which company has the most upside. If you could only buy one which one would you prefer.

Q: These stocks have been on my radar for some time and they, except GSY and DSG, have dropped significantly. What price levels should I start accumulating them and in what sequence? Thank you.

Q: Hi group can you please comment on recent weakness in these shares and what you see going fwd in the next 3-6mths Buy sell or hold Appreciate your comments

Q: Hi 5i!

My mother has some money to invest for 5 years. I was thinking to gsy and toi. Can you recommand 3 more growth stocks with an interesting value in other sectors than financial and tech?

Many thanks!

Q: Is there a need to readjust these significant losers in a RRIF ?
My Tech is over 20% now (even with LSPD loss). If I were to "trim" the tech down would you keep LSPD and sell KXS and reinvest is something less volatile in a otherwise balanced RRIF ? maybe BCE, CNR, GSY, or FTS ?
Thanks as always, Peter

Q: Would it be correct to say GSY has marked to mkt. profit on AFRM up to Sep. 30? If so, then would they still have about $37. CDN on the balance of 368,000 if AFRM closed the year about $150.US for a total about $13,500,000. CDN?
Thanks

Q: With the pending takeovers of PFB and VEG I need your top ideas for new $$, let’s assume my portfolio is generally well diversified, and a bit of risk is fine but I have no interest losing what I have gained!! Lol

Q: Thanks Peter. Your services have been very educational and rewarding. Had a good year. This is my first year of subscription and I just upgraded to the full Investor suite services. All the Q&A and research reports have been very helpful. It has made me more disciplined in my decisions as well as provided greater insights to the Investment process

As the end of the year, I am reflecting on the investments done in the year. I seek you opinion to opinion some of those as under. Position size or Industry allocation is not an issue. Time horizon is long 4+. No tax consequences and have patience; there is no need to raise cash

A. Stocks with above average returns-

ATZ 62%, TOI 72%, SIS 39%, TFII 19%, DOO 19%, NVEI 49%, WSP 32%, SHOP 19%, GSY 72%, U 106%

Do you recommend continuing to hold all of them? Would you consolidate sell some and add to some?
Would you endorse Investing new fund in 1 or 2 of them at current price to go to full position

B. Under performing stocks (loss/down)-

AT 56%, CTS 8%, EGLX 40%, LSPD 8%, MRS 69%, QST 35%, XBC 52%, Well 26%, AMGN 10%

Do you still have the conviction in these stocks? If yes which are best 3 and why? Do you recommend selling some of them or adding to some of them?
