Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Would you please comment on ABNB's latest results.

At this point in time what would be the buyer vs. the seller's thesis on the stock? Just things to consider, watch out for both positive and negative, etc going forward.

Thank you very much.


(PS. Please feel free to donate 50 of my question credits to anyone who would like some.)

Q: I have SHOP and LSPD in my RRSP at loss and realize it will take time to return to the plus side, so throwing caution into the wind (for the 3rd time!!!), I am thinking of selling both and replacing with ARKK.

The logic being that it could erase the loses quicker than with the other two. What do you think ... is this swap a good or reasonable idea? Should I just do one of the two or hold tight? Thanks as usual for your thoughtful advice.

Q: Hi, Shopify released excellent results, but stock is taking a 10% hit ( after 7% run up yesterday) in pre-market due to softer guidance. Will see how stock trades today and over next 2/3 days. Most analysts, this morning have been lukewarm to results, except RBC, which raised its price target.

What are your thoughts ? Do you think the market reaction seems a bit too harsh?

Thanks

Q: Regarding a recent question on comparing equities, I have found a resource that I don't see mentioned often called portfolio123.com. You can create watchlists by category - 'my RRSP' or 'utilities' for example, you add in the tickers and it generates summaries of various metrics (technicals, fundamentals, price target, analyst trends and then detailed screens on each company) so you can monitor and compare holdings. To help me manage myself, I create an active watchlist, add notes of my target price and then wait patiently. Base access is free.

Q: Responding to another question that you opened up for comment. Not sure how i'm supposed to respond but anyway my recommendation for the user is Simply Wall Street. It will show all the relevant metrics and then show you comparable companies in the same sector. If you want to view two side by side just open a second window.

Q: Looking for two or three of your favourite industrial companies as I’m low in this sector.
Looking for good management, good valuation compared to peers, a dividend, and hopefully some growth. Please rank best 1st. For 5+ year hold. Thanks

Q: Based on my 2 cents I feel like WCN is expensive between the 2. Can you provide your thoughts on valuation, debt and cash flow or any other more relevant metrics to compare these 2 ?
Pick one or suggest something similar in garbage space ?
Thank you for your service.

Q: I’m struggling a bit with the balance of income (dividends) and growth in a portfolio. I just looked up the 5 and 10 year CAGR for my core, large cap dividend paying holdings and discovered almost all were less than 10% (and many much lower, BNS, NTR?). I know it all comes down goals/objectives, but trying to assess the risk of mid cap growthier stocks and then attempting to factor in the tax implications of capital gains versus dividends is making my head hurt. It looks to me that as a financial holding TMX (X-T) would have been a better investment than, say, Scotiabank (BNS-T) over the last 10 years, at what would seem not much added risk. If you could put on a income investor hat, is there some level of longer term CAGR that you would balk at, and say “there has to be an acceptable risk equity out there with a better return”?.
