Investment Q&A

Q: Nuevi announced an acquisition today and dropped $2. Topicus announced an acquisition and jumped $6. Why the opposite swings?

Q: For the above stocks you tend to be positive on, over the next 3 years please rank them in order with the main goal being capital appreciation (regardless of risk, sector or diversification)

Would your ranking change at all if:

1. Covid is still affecting the world as it is today with international travel somewhat restricted and variants posing a potential problem.

2. Covid becomes more and more contained and the world is as “open for business” as it was pre covid.

Q: Please rank the following for growth 10+ year investment in a TFSA.

Please include risk involved, 10 being high risk.

ATZ, LSPD, ROKU, TOI, MG, WSP, TFII

Also, would you avoid investing in LSPD if one already owned SHOP?

Thank you

Q: As of today, what would be your top 10 most stable Canadian companies, or ETF's, to invest in. Stable meaning those best able to ride out any market or economic downturn. Dividends are always nice but not essential. Thanks as always.

Q: Good morning, on a straight up risk level over one, three and five year time horizons,, which of these two stocks would be the safest in a major downturn, thanks?

Q: If you had to pick three out of the above for a TFSA today, which three would you pick?

Thanks!

Q: Hi !

If capital preservation was the goal, which of the above would you choose. : )

Q: In a registered account I own CSU, DND, LSPD, BEP.UN, MG, BYD, TFII, TOI and WSP. FI am looking for 3 new companies for a TFSA. Ideally not a company listed above. Moderate risk and a 10 year outlook.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Hi Team,
Three part question. Firstly, I know as professionals you do not recommend “winners” climbing to over a certain % of ones Portfolio. However, if early investors in Apple or shopify for example would of bailed ; some would not be millionaires now. Or in some cases , billionaires where the CEO’s are holding most their wealth in their company stock. How can one hope to land that “life changing trade”(1000% or more) if one keeps trimming eternal winners ? Does it not make sense if a person finds that “winning company” to keep holding of goals are set high?

Secondly..is GSY one of those stocks, if you were to choose the likelihood of a solid company with good prospects, to choose to be overweight in and aim for that life changing 1000% move over a 10 yr or so period? I ask this company specifically because I am overweight this company and this is my goal. (Up over 200% so far and metrics still make this stock look cheap to me)

Thirdly… if you were to speculate a few different companies, either US or Cnd as your “best guess’s” so to speak of having the likelihood of producing 1000% gains over the next 10yrs or so; what would they be? Thanks for your input and deduct credits as you see fit. Thanks

Q: I do not have technology shares in my RRSP. I'm well covered in energy, financials, utilities, transportation, tel coms and an ETF US equities. There are quite a few techno companies out there. For a long term investment, any suggestions and why.

Q: I want to maximize my total return over the next 5 years without taking on excessive risk. Would switching LNF for TOI set me up to accomplish this goal? If the switch will increase risk beyond my expectation, can you suggest another company? Thank you

Q: What are your 5 favorite stocks on Canada today for a 2 year investment RAK

Q: Of the listed which 2 would you think have the greatest growth potential for a TFSA account over the next 5 years ? Could you suggest list any two others which you might think have better potential irrespective of sector.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: My KXS shares have recently doubled and haVE exceeded my arbitrary 5% holdings threshold . I have a long term view of my tech holdings but wondered if you think selling off some KXS for Topicus or LSPD (or both) is worthwhile for some added growth for the next 5 years?
I am not adverse to holding onto to KXS if you think it could revisit its historical high in the next 12 months.
Some shares are in a TFSA and some in a registered account.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kevin

Q: Your feelings on this co. please for a very long-term hold. I have huge confidence in this co. that CSU has spun off!

Q: I'm really overweight in IT. Close to 35% but I need to get down to 20% or less. IT holdings are: KXS (3.1%); SHOP (16.9%); CSU (5.2%); TOI (0.4%); DND (0.2%); LSPD (2.0%); SYZ (1.4%); PHO (1.0%); CRWD (2%); NVDA (0.7%); DOCU (1.5%).

Not sure if it makes a difference but all are in TFSA except KXS, CRWD and DOCU (cash/margin account). Due to the fact that I'm working I don't want to trigger any taxable gains if possible. Obviously I need to trim SHOP by at least 1/2.

SYZ seems to be a laggard since it has only appreciated 45% in almost 7 years so I think I should sell that. Do you agree? (assuming a balanced portfolio).

Aren't DND and PHO going to be purchased?

I'm emotionally attached to the high gains otherwise... What's your suggestion on how to bring down my IT holdings in a tax efficient way?

Q: I currently hold the following in my TFSA: ENB, EGLX, LSPD, PLTR, SUGR, TIXT, TOI.
I propose to reduce LSPD from eight to six percent, use the proceeds to increase TOI from one to three percent
of my total portfolio and recapture my principal investment in LSPD. From a risk/reward and diversification move does this proposal appear, on the face of it, to be a reasonable change to make

Thank you for considering my question
