Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have a question about name changes. In your experience if/when a Company changes its name does this help or hurt. My question is specifically about Veran (Crescent Point Energy). Now I have held this Company stock and options for a long time and made lots of money on it. Also lost some along the way. They have been slowly changing their operations to be very positive ie: no more Saxberg and serial aquisitions. Now they have decided to change the name and the stock has not responded very well. I grew up on a farm and found you may dress up a pig but it is still an oinker after the dress-up. Thanks Gordo

Q: I used to own NVDA at <$100/share and foolishly sold it around $300 USD before it started to climb vertically. I am now too chicken to buy back in. What would be some names to own in the AI and Semi conductor theme that are still reasonably priced? Or would you suggest sitting out of this theme for now?
I already own MSFT and GOOG.

Q: I have a longstanding position in Alphabet (GOOG) in a corporate account, and I am planning to crystalize this position prior to the June 24, 2024 deadline (to qualify for the lower capital gains tax rate). Here is my question: I plan to rebuy my position in Alphabet, but I am wondering if I should take the opportunity to repurchase the GOOGL--rather than the GOOG--shares. Right now, these two classes of shares trade at similar prices, but there is a possibility that the voting shares (GOOGL) could trade at a premium in the future. What would you do if you were faced with this decision?

I was considering FCX or EXP as I am light on materials. Would either of these fit in an RRSP, and which of these two would be your preference at this time?
