Investment Q&A

Q: Taking a big drop today. Is there news that i missed. This one is usually a fairly steady trader so.....

Q: Many on your tax-loss list show estimated revenue growth > 100%; in more than a few cases, > 200%. In the case of marijuana stocks, this is puzzling, as many argue that prices will continue to weaken.
On what basis, then, should we place confidence in these numbers? Take HEXO, which you observed (last August) was priced at 4X forward sales, has since then declined by 45%, but is estimating revenue growth at 280%: what would it take to find its prospects 'interesting'?

Q: Hi what is your outlook regarding base metals such as Copper, Lead, Nickel, and Zinc?

Q: Hi, Would these two funds be too correlated to each other, or too much overlap to hold for at least five years, thanks?

Q: Would you hold on to this stock? I have a 48% gain. I don’t mind holding for the long term if you advise so.
Thanks
Karim.

Q: FSZ came out with its numbers. Lukewarm response from the market. What did you think of them?

Q: What do you think of TMX's earnings and the subsequent market reaction? I am thinking, for long term shareholders, today's slide seems a little overdone?

Q: You currently have > 9% cash in the Income portfolio. In the past you have indicated you prefer to be mostly invested. If my memory is correct, your responses to past questions have referenced the Income portfolio being up x% so far this year (now 13%) vs the targeted 6-8%/year, so you are taking your time to find appropriate investments. Respectfully, I would counter with the multiyear performance #s of 2-5%/year (quite a bit below the 6-8% target), so wouldn't you want the cash to be put to work? I know you just added a new 3% position on Oct 8.

So, I am trying to understand...is the 9% cash level is more of a "strategic" allocation (waiting for a pullback...market timing, which I know you don't believe in), are you still undergoing research for the right investment or is there some other reason?

Please note I am not criticizing. I have loads of respect for the 5iR team and have way more confidence managing my own portfolio knowing 5iR is there to provide guidance. I am just trying to understand the purpose for the cash in the Income portfolio. I too have roughly 7% cash and am struggling to find the "right" investment and put it to work.

Thanks...Steve

Q: Could you please comment briefly on earnings from the above three stocks. TTD seems to be getting hit, is it because YoY revenue growth is slowing slightly?

Q: comment on earnings. They appear to be "ok", but market seems quite pleased. Can you comment on them and why market is positive. I also feel the PE isn't overly attractive.

Q: I currently owned these 3 stocks and would like to know if adding to them to bring them each up to a 3% weight would be good?I am currently in a loss position for both MX and GUD?
Thanks

Q: Over the past 2 months or so SHOP, TTD and MDB are down substantially. All have had earnings events and that did not have a positive impact on share price

I know at this point the horses have left the barn,but as portfolio managers what do you recommend we do with these lagging names and why?

Thank you
