Investment Q&A

Q: Today, would you buy LNR with p/b of 0.95 and no debt or MG with 2.7B debt and b/b of 1.91. LNR has a wide range of products, other than automotive.
When is LSPD a screaming buy with p/b of 1.13 and 900M in cash?
Many thanks!

Q: Canada just reported 6.7% GDP growth, how much of this is inflation.

Q: Is BYD worth holding anymore? It sure looks like pressure to get lower and stay there.

Thank You.

Q: I am looking to find some software stocks with excellent Net Revenue Retention rates and strong revenue growth that should make for bounce candidates/long-term compounders if the tech market turns. What are some of your favourite CAD and USD names with NRR above 110% and revenue growth of at least 30%?

Do you like any of SMAR, ASAN or MNDY?

Thanks

Q: With the embargoes against Russian, do you feel the US will exempt their uranium exports?
Google suggests that Russian and its surrounding countries account for 46% of their purchases, would this be a good time to purchase shares in Cameco?
If yes, would you suggest any difference between owning US or CDN stock?

Q: I am down 26% on MG in a non-registered account. I understand the geo-political reasons behind the slide, but am tempted to take a tax loss and replace MG with FTS. Would you recommend this...or suggest I hold the course with MG? Thank you.

Q: I want to sell bep.un and bepc in my tfsa and repurchase in my cash account.
Which one should should I purchase. No sense having 2 is there?
Thank you

Q: Given the increasing implied VOL in options, what are your favourite names in CAD and USD for covered call strategies?

Looking for stocks that you already like that have reasonably liquid options (I know harder in CAD) and you think have excellent bounce back potential and wouldn't mind owning for 2-3 years. Thanks

Q: Good day. I think I made a rookie mistake. A number of months ago I bought 40 shares of Novax, based on emotion and speculation believing its protein spike vaccine would fill the void for vaccine hesitancy and boosters. I am now showing a 56% loss. This stock represents about 3% of my portfolio. Should I sell and take the loss or hang on hoping it turns around upon FDA approval? Thanks for your opinion.

Q: Doc announced today a newly formed public sector division and recent customer contracts across North America that it says will provide “meaningful revenue diversification” and “opportunities to accelerate technology and service integration.”The contracts include agreements to provide integration and technology services to the New York City Department of Education, a substance use disorder solution to support the opioid crisis in North Carolina, and more than 100 new contracts to provide mental health support covering up to 50,000 new employees under subscription services. CloudMD also said it has added several contracts within the public sector division including for a major college employer in Atlantic Canada and mental health coaching for the employees of a major Ontario university. Would appreciate your overview on how significant this announcement is as it seems to tie into Biden's comments in these two areas in his State of the Union Address. The stock was up 20% on the news and traded on high volumes. Thank you

Q: How do you feel about ZWU today? Or would you prefer to own a pipeline company like ENB? Seems the number of anticipated rate increases has fallen in recent days given Russia's war on Ukraine. Looking for price stability and yield. Great service, thanks!

Q: Good Morning Peter & Team.

I have two questions. Please charge me accordingly. Both have to do with ramifications from increasing cost of OIL.

1. Do you think the ever increasing price of gasoline is going to push more people towards EV and if so, what would be your recommended play to take advantage of this?

2. Commodities especially those coming from mining, and especially those used in the EV industry, appear to be on the rise. What recommendations would you make for us to take advantage of this trend? Right now I have RIO & DML on my radar.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hello. I bought LSPD in May of 2021 and NVEI in September of 2021. They were both doing great but I'm now down 65% on LSPD and 59% on NVEI. I'm planning on holding them both for the rest of the year and see what happens. I had some significant gains last year so I can use the losses against those if they don't recover, but I'm also open to waiting longer. What would your advice be?

Q: what do you think of tcn's latest results? should it provide a lift for the stock? would you add to a. position?

Q: Dear 5i team.

I see AT is set to report 3/10. In view of this, can you let us know what is expected and what your educated guess would be if they miss/beat? In other words, your opinion on risk reward from these levels would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Q: Pipeline and utility stocks having increased in price recently. What would you think about buying one of the ZPAY etf's for the dividend replacement of the utility and pipeline stocks. And buying the pipeline and utility stocks on a pull back. And which ZPAY etf would you recommend?

Thanks
Brian

Q: My apologies if this has been asked before, as I'm guessing it has but I just can't find the thread. Regardless, here goes: given the situation in the Ukraine, and the general instability that this brings, I am a bit perplexed with the recent strength in markets. My portfolio is actually up (slightly), as everything seems to have traction. Your thoughts ?

Q: In their 1/4ly call what was their outlook?

Thanks
