Q: I hold MAXR and show somewhat large losses on the holding. I bought before it changed its name from McDonald D.W. I now do not recall why I even bought it. Was it on one of the model portfolios in 2017? Until 2016-17 I had only US stocks. A US premium letter I subscribe to (New Constructs, who often use robo analytics) just listed MAXR as a stock that one may short--I don't short stocks. New Constructs put MAXR in their “Dangerous Model portfolio” in which they name stocks worth shorting. What do you advise? MAXR is however finally beginning to show some positive movement. Is that slow price climb up sustainable ? What are MAXR’s prospects and is it worth keeping? If you advise sell, what would you replace it with?

Q: MAXR has been beaten up recently and justifiably so due to its expanding debt and poor earnings forecast. Lately they have been issuing a few press releases detailing new contracts, some from repeat customers. The contracts don't seem large enough to have a material impact on the company but they are good news none-the-less. The stock appeared to bounce on Friday up 3%. I am thinking of averaging down to my very long held position. The weighting would increase from 1.7% to 2% so I wouldn't be risking too much. Any comments or concerns?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: I purchased a 1/2 position in this company when first recommended. Since, the bottom has fallen out. My question is at what point do I purchase the second half of my position? I believe you people know what you are doing and that you recommendation came on solid facts. Would this not now be a very very cheap, high quality company worthy of being in an RRSP portfolio for the long haul?

Q: Hello Team,
I am thinking about adding Canadian Utilities and Maxar Technologies to my RRSP portfolio. Canadian Utilities is approaching a 5% dividend yield and I do not see any danger for a dividend cut so a 5% yield is not bad to wait for a rebound.

For MAXR it seems that the risk of an additional dive in the share price is limited after the two days of selloff so for me it is more an idea to do "bottom fish" a "niche" company that seems cheap now.

I know it is no easy but I would like to know what would be your bottom "pick up price" for these two stocks considering that both stocks a very bad momentum lately.

Thank you!
Michel

Q: Hi, I'm underweight industrials and currently only hold SIS and XYL for a total of 4.5% of my overall portfolio.

From the above list, and looking to hold long term with lower risk, could you rank your preferences and provide justification for the top two?

Thanks,

Cam.

Thanks
