Investment Q&A

Q: I own LSPD in a registered account and am just breaking even. Considering swapping it out for SHOP, which I suspect may be lower risk and a sounder investment going forward. Given the wild ride both companies have had recently, which do you believe will perform better in the long term (3-5 years)? Thanks.

Q: Current thoughts on lightspeed? Would you buy it today?

Q: Good morning, Both companies report earnings in early February. What are your predictions for these reports and what do you envision for the future. Many thanks.

Q: I have TTD, PLTR, NVDA, PLTR, NVDA, CRWD, APPS, UCTT, CELH, AFRM, MTTR, UPST, VEEV, in my US account, and LSPD, SHOP, EGLX, TIXT in my Canadian (and holdings in other sectors, but these are the holdings in question). I don't need to sell anything, but don't have new funds to deploy in the low market. I had a lot of positions in tech going in and already thinking about consolidating the sector when the market turned. I wonder if you see anything that should be sold, and added to something else to maximize growth when the market turns good again, or if it is better not to shuffle at this point.

Q: I would like to increase my tech holdings during this sell off and I have a long term horizon and willing to take on risk.

Can you rank the following in order of preference: Shop, NVDA, Topicus, Xebec , Unity, Lightspeed, Enthusiast Gaming.

Are there any in that list that should be sold off?

Q: In terms of recovery, would it make sense to sell light speed and buy shopify, if so, when should one do that

Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, what value would you give to both risk and long term growth prospects for each of these companies. Feel free to provide a brief qualitative comment instead if you think that would be more beneficial.

Q: Hi Team,
I am an aggressive investor, which paid off lovely in 2020, but now am being crushed. I hold the following stocks (with weightings in brackets) in total in my brokerage accounts. Could you have a quick look and tell me how this basket looks "In general"? And if you see this basket doing well over the longer term (say 5-10yr hold), pointing out any suggested changes you would make, if any are "sells" or worth switching out. Note that if I sell any GSY it would incur tax (the weighting is large because the position has grown and have been a firm believer in the company as its valuation still looks cheap and am collecting a nice div off it as well). I am 42yrs old so retirement is a ways away and my goal is maximum returns with reasonable risk until retirement. Please deduct credits as required. Thanks

Q: Good day team. I own LSPD and follow KXS. As both are good companies I am thinking that one day I will either add to LSPD or open a position in KXS. The difficult part is comparing the value of these companies when they have negative earnings. Analysts often comment on the multiple of price to sales but this does not show up on a stock quotes. 1) is there an available source that provides this information, or 2) if I have to calculate it myself is the formula: stock price X shares outstanding divided by revenue?

Q: Can you please provide consensus sales growth estimates for the next year, along with company guidance?

Thanks

Q: Hi,
I’m wondering if you prefer either one in terms of growth. With both having taken losses would now be a good time to buy? I’m considering holdings in each.
Thank you

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on your best picks US and Canada as a COVID recovery play for midium term in today's market. Thank you for your great service!

Q: Hello Peter and Team

I have above stocks in my TFSA account. I am down CAE 10%, NVEI 47%, ENGH 17%, KXS 24%, LSPD 12%, QIPT 18%.

Normally I will consider all of them as good growth stocks but with the rotation now hapening in the market, I am wondering if I should keep them for the next 12 months or I should switch to more value stocks.

I value you opinion

Q: Would you suggest averaging NVAX at todays price?
I have TFSA room of $6000, and have some FOOD. Should I average down FOOD($13.2) or buy position in AT vs LSPD vs GLXY for exposure in crypto world?
Thank you

Q: Which of the above names would you be comfortable adding to today? Of those, what would be the priority order for additions? Finally, are there a couple of other names you would see as strong buy candidates to throw into this mix that are trading at attractive levels today?

Thank you!

Q: Can I please get your opinion on Lspd, and AT? what price would be table pounding buy? Thanks

Q: I have these companies in my TFSA, which ones would you recommend adding to

Q: I have ERF, LSPD, LSPK, NVEI and WELL in my TFSA. I would like to add one or two more equities to my holdings. What other Canadian stocks only should I consider. Please rank in order of purchase and provide three or four names. Thanks

Q: Hi, Technology is the largest weight at about 45% ( even after the recent sell off) in our investment portfolio. Most of these holdings have been down 25-50% from the highs, over past 2-3 months, following the general market trend of indiscriminate selling in High multiple Tech stocks. LSPD and NVEI, of course, saw much steeper losses.
We do have the rest of the portfolio invested in Cdn large cap banks, industrials, utilities and telcos, generating decent dividend income.
We recently retired and as a part of portfolio planning/risk management, would like have a strategy to reduce the Technology weight to less than 35%, over next 2-3 years. The plan could be executed in phases, once the current tech rout is over and valuations have recovered.

From the perspective of risk, growth, stability and valuation, what would be the recommended/desired weighting for each company, balancing these factors. What would you suggest to be order of priority for the purpose of initiating sale of each stock. Also, it would be really helpful, if you could provide a reasonable price range for sale/trimming of these companies, based on price history and future expectation over 2-3 years.

CSU 14.5%
SHOP 9 %
TOI 5.2%
SYZ 3.5 %
LSPD 3 %
KXS 2.5%
NVEI 1%
US Large Cap Tech ( AAPL,AMZN,MSFT,MA,V,PYPL etc) 8% (we want to keep as is)

Thank You for your insight, which we value so much.

Q: 5i: Which do you prefer at these prices for the most secure upside potential, or other better options. And with either do you suggest hold off? Thanks Larry
