Q: Peter, I am interested in buying into Lightspeed and Boyd Group in 2 or 3 tranches. Both companies have earnings coming up in the next couple of weeks. What are the expectations and would you be comfortable buying at these levels, or prefer waiting until after earnings? Thanks so much.

Q: Hello team,

Is BUS even worth keeping. Some 14000$ after, I am down 87%. The problem is that it is in an RRSP account and I can wait, but I don't want another CXR. I can still stop another 2K loss on this dog. My real question is about their investability. Who would want this dog? How much debt they have and can they service it until this period is over in the market? What is their backlog like and can they get manage well and stay solvent? The stock was around 0.60$ prior to the recent events, can they make it back there once small caps are back in favour, or something else is fundamentally wrong with them? I can average down a bit from my 1.98$ which I am sure you would reject, but I thought I would ask anyway.

As I said, BUS is in my RRSP and I can wait, but I want to hear your non-emotional assessment and be a forward looking investor instead of clinging to where I was before.

More than two thousands thanks!

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.

Thank for your great work. I have a full time job and receive T4. I am filing income taxes for some capital gain last year. I am wondering whether I can claim the membership subscription here as an expense to offset the capital gain. Where to fill the number if yes?

Thanks again,
Yiwen

Q: I'm looking to start a new position in one of the above. They are both trading very close to each other in valuation. CN is bigger with more reach so I was leaning that way but wanted your take. Why would you go with one over the other? This would be in my TFSA.

(I feel like I have enough spicy growth names in my TFSA and am looking for something I can let sit for 20 years and not think about.)

Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on BAM's move to help retail with a 5B investment. I'd imagine its only helping companies that are its tenants so that it may prevent some large vacancies. Are they taking equity in these retailers for lending them money? Didn't BAM do this in 2016 with Rouse and 2018 with GGP and both were bad moves? Struggling to see how this is a good move, retail is a nightmare and for good reason.

Thank you

Q: You recently mentioned that it might be time to trim holdings in REAL because it has done so well. I thought your subscribers should be aware that following their recent results, analysts were unanimous in raising their forecasts and targets so this might further explain the strong performance of the stock. Stay safe.
