Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'm looking for suggestions for stocks or ETFs that would benefit from increased investment in the north (either infrastructure-, defense- or resource-related). Do you have any suggestions of opportunities that warrant further investigation for a 'northern/artic play'? I can't help but feel that all the talk south of the border about Greenland, Canadian resources, etc. that someone will be spending substantially more in the north over the next 4 years...

Q: CAE has been another good news story for me this week. Finally they put together a decent quarter, at least in my eyes, what do you think about their qurarter? I know one quarter does not make a trend but I would hate to get out of something after a good gain. Now it is nearly at $31. Is this fair value for CAE for the near to mid term. At this price there should be no tax loss selling on CAE this year, right? My discipline tells me to sell but does your expert opinion shout, "gain for the long haul"?

Q: I was on the verge of selling CAE until seeing that it had taken a recent jump in price in the last couple of days.

Could this mean the company's promise is finally coming to some fruition?

Would you recommend continuing with selling it as part of a portfolio clean-up or waiting and seeing if there is renewed hope on the horizon for this company?

Thanks as always.

Q: I bought this stock, because I thought there was a pent-up demand for new pilots. I have lost 10 -15%, since I bought it, now for the last couple of years it has gone no where, but sideways. So, is there actually a shortage of pilots?
Also, what is the forecast for the remainder of this year and next year. I am seriously thinking of selling. Now I am looking for your advice as to whether to sell this stock or keep it.
Thank you
Earl

Q: Who would you consider to be CAE's major competitors - does CAE still have a fairly wide moat or is this no longer the case ? What mistakes do you feel were made to bring the company to this point and do you consider management to be competent and capable of turning the company around ?
Going from a B+ rating to out of the portfolio was a bit of a surprise . (there is a yield showing on portfolio info chart - old news or did I miss some new news?)

Q: Good morning Peter,

By now you would have read the Company’s pre earnings release after market close yesterday. Based on guidance, would it be correct to say that this stock will likely get punished today and will be some time before it shakes off the defense issues to the tune of 1 year in the penalty box. Is this a case of the company not realizing what it was getting into when it bought L3H? And is it dead money for the next year or so?

Thx, K

Q: Why is CAE struggling. With a large backlog and with little competition in its sector shouldn't it be profitable? Is there a management problem? Where do you see it going in the future? Buy or sell?
As well, what is your opinion of ATS going forward?
Thanks for your continued expertise Stephen

Q: I have be considering swapping CAE for BDGI. Badger is widely exposed across the US while CAE seems to be slow getting traction at a time when business should be good.
What are your thoughts on these companies and their potential growth.
