Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, can you suggest 5 consumer stocks and 5 industrial stocks, either in Canada and US, with a brief reason for each suggestion. I am trying to re-balance my portfolio and I am overweight in tech right now. Thanks!

Q: Hi guys,

I have the following stocks inside my portfolio all around the 1.5%. I have some additional cash available to invest inside a "balance" portfolio. Please rank them for a 3 year hold.
DRX, ATZ, DOL, HPS.A, TVK and WELL.

Thanks,

Jim

Q: Good morning I have been a holder of ATZ for a while pretty much back to even in terms of cost. I was wondering what has been driving this lately I can't seem to find any news that could be driving this? I hold this in a TFSA in your opinion is that the best account to hold this company in.? Thanks

Q: Any TSX/TSV listed stocks that you feel are currently undervalued?

Q: These are in my TFSA at red ATZ AEM, BNS, CCL.B, GSY SIS, and these are at green BYD, CSU, LMN, SHOP, WSP, and TFII. Very close to my cost are BN, ENB, MG, DSG. Would you suggest anything for cleaning up or any new addition(s). Please deduct as many points as required.
Thank you

Q: Hi,

These are some names that I hold that are smaller weights in my portfolio (<2%) and I would like to add to my positions. From comments, I think all of them are solid going forward and some have run hard, such as HPS.A, TVK, CRWD...The thing I've struggled with before is adding to names at the wrong time after they've had a good run and then the market turns and your gains turn into losses. How do you approach these situations and when do you decide to add to a starter position.

Would you be comfortable adding to any of these names at the current prices and can you rank which ones you would add to first?

With the market at record levels, I'm a bit more gun shy of doing so but I think on any market pullback, I would add to any of these names. Would you agree?

I remember a question you answered recently about increasing the avg. cost base vs the % of the position when adding. So for example, I bought HPS.A at $50 and now its $93 for a nice gain, however it's only 1.5% of my portfolio now. So if you are comfortable with a 3% position, do I just add now to get to that 3% even with the run that its had? Or wait for a nice pullback, which of course is impossible to predict. I try not to anchor prices and of course the buyers today are forward looking and expect good things to continue. How do you approach this? Thanks!

Q: Which do prefer as a purchase for a 1 to 2 year hold. RET appears super cheap, and could be a multi-bagger if any success. My concern is buying something like ATZ as an example, only to have it go down and then hold at a loss for years waiting for it go back.

Q: Trying to gauge potential runway for growth. Particularly market cap proxies. Are there any comparables that make sense. Do you see this eventually in time exceeding its all time highs? Are you buyers at todays price.

Q: I am looking at some of my struggling stocks- any comments on whether greener pastures are better found elsewhere and where to go?

Q: Which ones would you buy for a TFSA and which ones for a RRSP? I have no holdings for consumer cyclical.

Thanks

Q: If not owned would you buy now up to a 3 % position ?


Thx

Q: Thoughts on their 1/4 please

Q: Interested in Aritzia, can you provide a good thesis as to why this investment is worthy of a buy or hold? Capital IQ estimates revenue growth for 2024 to be only 4.6%, how come this is so low? Is the increase SG&A expenses a result of the recent inventory surplus and do you think it will resolve itself within the next couple of months? Lastly, how many shares were issued after initial IPO offering compared to now and with low ownership from management, why do you like the company?

-Thanks

Q: I'm a retired somewhat conservative investor content with slow steady growth and a dividend helps as well. I have been happy with my diversified portfolio but constantly struggle with should I or should I not make these changes;
1. Sell T (non-registered account, tax loss) buy BCE?
2. Sell AAPL (in an RRSP) and buy NVDA?
3. Sell TD (non-registered account, tax loss) and buy BNS?
4. Sell ATZ and or DOO (both in a TFSA) and buy what?
Thank you

Q: Have the following in a basket. Closely weighted. Looking to add a new similar weighting equity, want to buy and leave for 10 years. Can you provide top 3 suggestions please. As always, thank you.

Q: hi, ATZ down 5% today on no news I can find online? a case of leaked earnings/corrupt insiders? appreciate your thoughts on this...
cheers, Chris

Q: Which 3-5 Canadian stocks would you be buying with your TFSA & FHSA contribution?
Thank you

Q: Hello,

Looking for advice to invest our RESP contribution this year for my daughter. Time horizon is 17 years. Do you prefer any of these for good growth, or are their any others you would prefer (companies traded in Canada would be ideal)?

Thank you, and Happy New Year.
