Investment Q&A

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

Q: I hold the above 7 stocks in my RRIF. I have to sell part of one of them soon.
Ignoring sector balance; I am concerned with maximizing long term growth whether it be capital gains, dividends or interest. So I would like to sell the one with the poorest prospects for gains over the next 2-3 years.
I should also note that my largest holding,NVDA, is over 7% of my entire investment holdings. This is a level where I would normally start to trim a bit but it has been on such a tear that I have been reluctant to trim it. And I note that you are still keen on it as a growth stock.
So I am comfortable to leave it alone if you agree.
Which would you suggest be sold?
Thank you

Q: I hold the above companies in my TFSA and they represent my Tech holdings. I am getting a little overweight in my tech sector and am wondering if any of my holdings are in essence duplications. If so could you recommend which ones to sell.
I have a list of buys, including CAE, TFII, XBC, GOOS, and would redeploy the capital plus some of my cash to these positions. Of my potential buys in what order would you see as the best opportunities.

Q: With the increase in price of KXS,DSG, SHOP, REAL and LSPD I now have a total of 23% of my portfolio in these shares. I have taken profits and reduced my position each of them. The only concerns I have going forward is with KXS and DSG. Ross Healy on BNN did not have a very Rosie picture for KXS. I know that different views is what makes a market. You continue to be much more positive on KXS and continue to recommend it. DSG andKXS are somewhat similar. I respect your opinion, would you recommend selling either one? If so which? I view many of these guest as having a person interest in recommendations. I always take them with a grain of salt. I have seen this in my previous life while working for a major investment firm.

Q: I am interested in starting a position in one or two of the above three companies. I know that Goeasy is a financial company and also pays a dividend. I therefore have a slight leaning toward Goeasy first.

Could you rate the 3 companies, best first with any pros and cons that you feel are noteworthy. What company do you feel might have the most upside in the next two or three years. Thanks for your wisdom and guidance. It has helped me on many occasions in purchasing good companies, such as Kinaxis and Lightspeed.

Q: In a TFSA, with a focus on growth and a timeline that can be 3 years or more. I am fine with high beta and the fact that these are all at, or close to, their 52-week highs.
I have enough cash for a new, full position in just two of these stocks. The only tech I own is LSPD, hence SHOP is not in my list of 5 potentials here.
Based on fundamentals (EPS, P/E, P/B, & ROE), GSY ranks 1st or 2nd on every metric. Which would you like for a second choice that compliments GSY?
Thx.

Q: Please rank these stocks. Are they at a level that they could be bought today. For your highest ranked stock, why do you rank it higher than the others

Q: I am a bit overweight on pipelines and think I should sell some Enbridge or Pembina and beef up a couple of my smaller tech holdings since we are a bit underweight on that right now. I already own enough CSU, KXS and OTEX but only partial positions of Enghouse and Descartes. We have bought and sold SHOP several times over the past year, making some good money so have treated it more like a trading stock and don't currently own it. Would you agree with buying more Enghouse and Descartes for the long term at this time or would you recommend something else?
