Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have held CWW for some time, believing that water issues are becoming a more critical global issue and that the diversification of an ETF would be a better approach. I realize the market, including industrials, has been difficult this year but have been somewhat surprised at the extent of the drop in CWW's share price. I note that you had rated it only as "Good" in a question asked by another member recently. In your opinion, are there better ways to approach investing in the water theme ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: I sold TTD and AMZN to realize a tax loss more than 30 days ago and I know that I can buy them back today with no issues. I bought ROKU and SHOP respectively as proxies a week later with the proceeds. They are both down (I guess things don't always work out!). The first question is can I sell both of these and claim a tax loss despite my not having owned them for 30 days?

Secondly, I am assuming you would recommend buying AMZN back (not that you don't like SHOP) but would you still re-purchase TTD? Does APPS offer a potentially better return? Or might you stay the course with ROKU? It appears to me that these companies are similar businesses.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Do you think there will be a competitive offer? UEC’s offer seems to be a “low ball” offer due to lack of a cash component. Do you think CCO would make an offer? I’m told they once held UEX stock but liquidated their position in order to reduce debt. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i. I'm not sure if anyone has ever posed you a question about any of these companies, all of which have substantial operations in Canada.

Obviously, the expectation of continued interest rate hikes will have a strong negative effect on these companies' business this year. Taking a step back, though, do you see much to separate them as investments? For instance, is any of them materially more indebted than the others? Any thoughts you might have would be welcome.
