Investment Q&A

Q: Please give me you opinion on this stock. I believe Eric Sprott has made a significant investment fairly recently however the stocks performance has been disappointing. Are there issues with the Mexican government? Thanks for your analysis.

Q: Can you please explain what Bitcoin and the crypto industry is all about. How can Bitcoin be worth $20,000.00????

Will this move to Digital currency make our portfolios as we know them now worthless?

Any insight you can provide on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Hi I am following JWEL with interest. It appears part of the reason for the price is investor worry that stock got ahead of itself based on demand for its products during pandemic. Do you think the stock will be punished more in the coming days/weeks as we climb out of the pandemic?

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I'm a 63 year old conservative investor and I've held CNQ from 2010 where I bought it at $34.00 where it's been a roller coaster since then and as you know it dropped to about $12,00 in March. I've held it for the dividend and since it's back to where I first bought it in my unregistered account I was thinking of selling it and transferring it to my TFSA and not taking any loss. How much upside do you see it having from here and do you think it's still worth holding or would you invest the money elsewhere, if so what is a good replacement for it. Thanks as always for your insight and the great service we get from you guys. Nick

Q: I do not follow the Canadian market at all, relying only on 5i model portfolios. I have done VERY badly on my TFSA held at a Canadian bank-owned broker ( iTRADE). I would now prefer to end the misery and hold only US- and European listed scurities in my TFSA. These are markets that I am familiar with. This broker advises it will not transfer any inter-listed securities from the Canadian side to the US side. (It would only transfer other US securities). This would force me to liquidate inter-listed securities, then buy US securities. I thought of withdrawing the entire Canadian $ proceeds, with the intent to reinstate next year the full amount withdrawn but in US$ . Question: do you know what exchange rate I should use to calculate the amount in US$ that I may deposit into the TFSA next year? Would the taxing authorities accept rates posted by the Bank of Canada or Bank of England? Any traps I should be aware of (if you know)?

Which one will benefit more after COVID? Do you think keep holding now, since both hitting the high price for 3-6 months. After the COVID, how long will last for those two in benefit the raise? 1-2 years? Usually, I have difficult to sell the stocks in high price, do you think they are good for long term holding for 5-10 years? What is the possible in short term one year target price? Kindly advise.

Q: I own these three energy stocks. They are now in the positive, WCP up 74%, CPG 12% and TVE 7%. I think I'll keep WCP a little longer based on your answer to an earlier question, but with respect to the other two, should I just be happy I'm green again and cut and run? Or, do you see them rising with the sector in the coming period of positivity? Thanks!

Q: I have a position in BSX in my daughter's TSFA account. It seems they have pulled one of their drugs recently, and the stock is down. I'm just wondering if you could commit on this company; and whether I should continue to hold it. (It's for a three year hold). Thanks so much!

Q: I have access to Morningstar through the broker. Morningstar’s analysis is often useful, but its ratings of companies covered are puzzling. Nuts, actually. A business starts doing better than ever and its shares rise as investors come to appreciate the rising value. Just at that moment, in comes Morningstar with its downgrades. It beats up a company performing very well by downgrading the rating of companies whose results are improving to Hold or Sell. Conversely when a business is stumbling badly and its shares drop, up goes the rating from Morningstar. One understands when analysts downgrade and explain that they still like the company but that they feel they need to go from Buy to Hold on the grounds of valuation . I have not seen Morningstar explain their ratings in a similar manner. If one reads Morningstar’s narrative, is it best to ignore its ratings? This is after all what one tends to with “target prices”. Or, am I missing something important?
