Investment Q&A

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

Q: I typically only trade options in USD due to the liquidity of their option markets and the general dearth of bids on the TSX. Recently though, I noticed that LSPD, on the Canadian side, had robust interest and trading options was easy. Has there been a general change in option trading volume on the TSX or is LSPD a special case? Thank-you.

Q: Based on your last comments on June 24th about Sanofi could you please help me understand what's behind the recent drop with the stock recently and is this a good time to buy. Is it now at a "bargain" price what are the financial ratios you like and don't like about this stock? How do you feel about their pipeline of drugs?

Your last comment was SNY: Sanofi is a bit different than the others, being a $130 billion pharma company. The valuation fundamentals look fine, growth expectations are mid-to-low single digits on the top line and it pays a decent dividend. For an 'anchor' type of position, we would not take much issue with a name like this.

Q: Hello, I have holdings that replicate the Balanced Equity portfolio with weightings being within about 1% for each stock based on the model portfolio. I have also aimed to hold a small number of stocks from the growth portfolio and currently have 1-2% for each of LSDP and WELL. I am considering adding 1-2% holding to SHOP, LSDP, WELL or adding 2% for TOI or DOL. I have a 20 year time frame.

I am leaning towards SHOP, TOI, LSDP for adding shares but am aware of my heavier weighting in the technology sector and am considering if Dolorama may be a good option at this time. With the war in the Ukraine and inflation, also based on my time frame, can you recommend which stocks you would suggest adding to of the ones listed at this time?
