Investment Q&A

Q: Brief thoughts on these weeds I'm looking to pick.

Return and % weight in portfolio now and what I plan:

MGA: -39, 2.13%. Looking to trim slightly down to 1.5%, add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?
ILLM: -87%, 0.14%. So small now its insignificant, roll into GOOG position
CTS: -46%, 0.96%. Hovering at 1 yr low. Aside from strategic review, what's the catalyst?
MED: -61%, 0.80%. Sell and add to ATZ, BYD, BKNG or SBUX?

Toss them, hold them or water them? Thanks!

Q: I’ve read recently that older seniors overestimate their financial acumen, so I wanted to ask if you think the plan that I think is sensible, is. My thought was to move non dividend paying stocks from my TFSA to my NR., thus making room for the transfer of dividend paying stocks from my NR account to my TFSA where they would produce tax free dividends. Is that a reasonable approach for someone beyond the accumulation stage of investment? I’m wondering if there’s something I’ve failed to consider in this. Thanks as always.

Q: I have followed your recommandation to buy CROX in 2022 and held on during the continuing blood bath. I bought more and now sits on a 70% gain and holding on. Thank you very much. Do you see another diamond in the rough in the midcap space? Please suggest 3 names with rationale and possibly good entry price.

Thank again for your great services.

Q: Can you clarify the business models of the above for me. I am worried about the prospect of commercial real estate defaults affecting the share prices of the above. I own both.
As I understand it, BN actually owns commercial real estate that could potentially default, whereas BAM doesn’t. Can you confirm this? In the case of BAM, they simply take institutional investor money and invest it for them, in many different asset classes, of which commercial real estate is perhaps 5-15% roughly? And by investing institutional money in this class, they earn fees. So defaults in commercial real estate would probably only somewhat indirectly affect BAM because they might still get institutional investors wanting to allocate money to the class even if prices were low, and they therefore would still earn fees on this? Perhaps BAM would (eventually) earn less ‘carry’ on the commercial real estate investments, down the road in the case of some kind of commercial real estate decline? Thanks.

Q: Hi there, can I please get your opinion on TSLA's quarter as well as your thoughts on longterm prospects for the company. Do you believe in Telsa and management's ability to become within the top 3 (if not top spot) in market cap in the future?

Thanks!

Currently I have full positions in BN and BAM. With a goal of increasing income would you add a new position in BIPC or BEPC?

Q: So, we all make bad buys, some are real big, and we know them in our accounts, so for interest sake, what would you consider to be the 5 worst buys that have been made in the growth portfolio in the last 3 years.
Thanks again
