Investment Q&A

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

Q: Seeking alpha published an article today highlighting the HIT TO BOOK VALUE that will come when Q2 results are published in a month. They also advise not to panic and why.

As someone who saw a double drop to a 50% gain… I welcome the opportunity to buy Brk.b on sale.

My question is : Buy now? Or wait til Q2 results are published? Or maybe it doesn’t matter?

Many thanks as always.

Q: In your latest report (6-17) you state
"the main three forces that we have seen across rising commodities prices are adverse weather conditions (drought), the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and concentrated country risk"
However you failed to address perhaps the most significant cause of inflation which is the Fed money printing.
Why is that?

Q: Hi,
I’m thinking of doing some tax loss selling. Can you suggest proxies for the following companies: Roku, Trade Desk, Twilio, Unity Software and Zoom Video.

Would you also be able to suggest an ETF that would serve as a proxie for all of them? I’m thinking of a high-growth-stock ETF like the SPYG.

Thanks

Q: Good day,

I am looking for a good (over-priced) US stock to for a Put spread - one where the premium (implied volatility) is reasonable. I had a Put spread on TSLA, but got out of it when they announced the spilt (as those options, post-split, go to the liquidity wasteland). Thanks

ps. I would prefer a US stock, but if that is not doable, then CDN will do. Thx

Q: Hi Peter,

If you owned the BE portfolio but wanted to add to and diversify the commodity holdings (beyond AEM and SU), what 1-3 securities would you add? Canadian stocks and ETFs only, please.

Thank you!

Chris

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.
