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

Q: I liked the high flyers when they were going up: not so much when they come down. I am way too old for the roller coaster ride. I am re jigging my portfolios to a conservative growth objective leaning more to larger cap names. Please give me 3 names in Canadian financials, industrials and energy listed in order of preference. Thank you.

Q: 2021 has been good to me overall but as always I have my regrets. I bought 2% weighting of BHP in Sept around 61 buck, mostly because I had little exposure to the sector. Do you think its gone too far to fast on it attempt to clean up its environmental footprint? Do you think the sell off has to do with tax loss selling or company issues? Finally would your view be favorable for next year or should I cut my losses. I thank you for years of good service and giving me an excellent source for sober second thoughts.

Q: I have just read your report on KXS with the rating maintained at B+. Just wondering what it would take to raise the rating to A?
I like the company but don't own it. If you looked into your crystal ball do you think the current world-wide supply chain problems will give the company's revenue a long term boost or is it more likely all the supply chain issues will be more or less fixed in the next 6 months causing revenue to falter by 3rd quarter 2022 (...and the stock to tank)? Another way of saying the same thing (but shorter)...is 15x sales too high!
Any comments would be appreciated.

Q: Canadian Depository receipts - NEO
I have read the article in the Globe & Mail regarding Canadians ability to purchase factional shares of major us companies, similar to US adr's.

Question: If I purchase 200 shares of PFE what exactly do I get? and do I also participate in any dividends.

Are these a viable investment option

Can I have your opinion on CDR's

Q: I own XIT within both my RRSP and TFSA and I have done very well holding it. It is mostly (72%) made up of SHOP. CSU, GIB and OTEX.

Question #1 = It recently has dropped from the $59 level to around $51. Do you believe the current drop is overdone? My amateur eyes think the next support level is around $50. At what price would you consider adding?

Q#2 = Is the drop related to the potential for interest rate increases? When you look at the 4 main players, where do you think XIT is heading in both the short (< 1 year) and long term (3-5 years)?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: I am a long time holder of OTEX and it has been a slow but steady performer over the years. I am thinking of swapping it out to purchase more shares of CSU and TOI as i see good things to come for both in the next 5 years and I no longer need the dividend income from OTEX.

Appreciate you advise and all the wise answers to our daily questions.

Q: In your answer to Rob today you state 'we don't think the company has really done anything 'wrong'.'

You've looked closely at the report and earnings now. What do you 'really' think the company did? Please speculate on what you feel went wrong. If the short report wasn't completely false, what did it maybe get right? Were mistakes made through omission? Were they simply growing too fast or playing a little fast and loose with the rules? No doubt there is a trade here but is this a company and management that you still have the same long term respect and confidence in as 6 months ago?

A past short report on SHOP has been mentioned on several occasions as a comparison. Did the management at SHOP make similar mistakes, if any, and is this par for the course? Or is this situation with LSPD different?


thanks, Mark
