Investment Q&A

Q: Can you tell me which stock is currently cheaper to buy and the price metric you rely on: Birchcliff or Keyera? I would like to get exposure to natural gas sector and based on Q&A these two companies seem to be your current favourites. Are there other significant differences between the two to factor in? thanks again - John C

Q: I have done well owning ATA. Do you think it's a stock I should keep for the long run? I own it in my TFSA so selling doesn't effect a tax gain.

Thanks as always for your advice

Q: Hi Team,
After languishing a long time, VEGN shows encouraging signs of life, with much higher volume and price. I would appreciate your views on this stock and whether it could be a good buy now. If not, what else ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Can I have your thoughts on this stock? Thank you.

Q: Looking for growth companies to increase returns on my portfolio. I have chosen these four companies knowing fully well they can be volatile. Are there any reasons you wouldn't buy any one of them at these levels? My intention is to buy them as a 'growth basket'. If you think others might have more potential, please feel free to suggest them.

Q: HI 5i -

What is your take on this company (Eguana Tech), recognizing that it is very small - is it financially healthy? What do you think of its revenue prospects as part of the larger energy storage market? They claim to have a patented storage solution that is superior to competitors, and apparently have an order backlog of ~$23M.

Thanks,
Tom

Q: What is your assessment of GDNP? To me this seems like a no brainer. A company that makes bio-degradable plastic packaging in today's eco-friendly investing environment should do well.

Q: Hi, your view please off FCR’s 50% distribution cut? I believe this was unexpected by the market yet FCR was only down marginally on the day, make sense? Would you expect similar action by KMP, CAR, HOM, ERE or CHP and briefly why? Thanks.

Q: Would you recommend silver or gold purchase today? If silver ,what stock? Thankyou

Q: BRAG seems to be in a good sector right now. Could I have your current evaluation of it and do you see it as a possible take out candidate.

Q: APHA What is your views on this company what do you think the high will be.

Q: I just opened up a U.S. -TFSA. Could you pls provide me with approximately 4 U.S. companies that would suit this and advise why you would recommend them. Any sector is fine. I have very little healthcare, I like tech, but am open to your suggestions. Looking for stablility and have a approx. 8 yr time frame.
Thank you so much - you are indeed the guiding light for many out there with our investments!

Q: Walgreens announced last week that it will sell it's drug wholesale business for $6.5B. Do you think that deal is good for walgreen and that they will use the money to reduce their large debt ? Thanks

Q: I am trying to increase my international / US stocks allocation with 1 of a few ETFs. I don't need income but some yield would be nice.
How do you feel about emerging markets for the next few years?
Can you please provide suggestions. Would you recommend a large position say around 15% to be meaningful in the portfolio. Long term buy and hold. Thank you for your help.

Q: At 27%, I am significantly overweight in utilities (BEP, BIPC, AQN, NPI, FTS). FTS, at a full position in a non-registered account, has been the weakest performer of late. Considering replacing it with one or two of the following: TRI, GSY, TFII or BAM. Looking for growth, a bit of a dividend and don't mind moderate risk.
1. Is now the time to sell FTS?
2. If sold, which stock (or stocks) noted above would you replace it with?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
If SCR does a financing within days, and the share price drops, do you think it will recover quickly?
Another question: AT vs MGNI, are their business very similar? Which one you prefer in term of growth? or which one you will buy at current price?
Thank you very much,
James

Q: Markets are very high. Do you anticipate a crash like last year? And how should we position ourselves at this time? Thank You.

Q: Peter, I have finally got organized and opened us accounts for each family members' registered plans - rsp, tfsa, lira. With the current strength of CAD relative to USD, it seems like a good time to increase US equity exposure. I am using Norbert's gambit to transfer funds from CAD to USD accounts. I have a couple general questions:

- do you see this as a good time to increase us equity exposure both from a currency and market perspective?
- would it be best to concentrate us holdings in the rsp accounts to avoid/defer us withholding taxes (or does this matter)? I will be holding some equities (tech, biotech) and some index funds (e.g. ARK)
- on a related note, is there any disadvantage to holding ARK etfs over their Canadian counterparts offered by Emerge (apart from the latter's higher MERs)?

Thanks in advance and also thanks for your great service.

Best wishes,

David

Q: I would like to use my $10,000 in my TSFA for a technology stock, either software, hardware. I am balanced in my account, so I would like a growth even speculative stock. It can be either Canadian or US
