Q: Hi,
I’m working on a high quality shopping list during this downturn. We have enough money to start a new positions in either:
1) TEAM or TTD.?
2) NKE or ULTA?
Which companies are a better choice and why?
Thanks and stay healthy,
Kerri

Q: So with the pipeline companies yielding between 8 and 20% and factoring in a 50% dividend cut, they would still have a nice yield. I suspect that some might increase, or at least slow price decline if cut.
Please list these companies in order of balance sheet strength and debt % and coverage, and order of preference. Thanks

Q: I asked a question about TOY the other day and you kindly answered. But, I have had a nagging doubt about the transaction that you may be able to clarify. The plan is to buy it in rif and in 30 days sell it in my margin account, where I hold it. It seems counter intuitive but I believe I may have read that it is not 30 days that I must keep it before selling but 60. Thirty days before and thirty days after. I can't really see clearly on this and wonder whether you could clarify
thanks

Q: Good morning,

Looking to clean up my oil and gas names but don't mind keeping some or adding others to maintain some exposure.

How would you rank TOG/TOU/BTE/WCP in terms of bounce back potential/likelihood of survival/balance sheet strength? What is you top two?

Do you much prefer SU, PXT, FRU, BIR vs the above names? What are your favourite oil/gas names at this time?

Thanks

Q: Hello,
I presently have a LIF and a RRIF majority is invested in zwc and zwu along with some other less then ideal stocks [interpipe,fru,hot,bpy] , have gone from 550k to 350 k in a month, expensive lesson on proper portfolio construction I guess. Would you suggest selling the covered call etfs and buy non covered call versions at this point in time ? Am I correct in thinking If the tsx returns to 17,900 again zwc and zwu will not return to previous nav due to covered call loss ? Thanks very much for Your help, great website.

Q: Good morning 5i
And thanks for the continuing good advice in this difficult time. I know that you lack confidence in Toy's management following their errors during the best selling season and their failure in estimating future revenu. But, i have, now a small position, in a non registered account. I am thinking about buying the same amount in a registered account and in a month selling in the non registered account. This will allow me to take the tax loss selling, without fear that the stock shoots up in that time. i take seriously your concern about toy. But, i imagine nothing catastrophic will happen in a month, would you agree?
Thanks

Q: Hello,

I've done well on Colliers over the years, but I sold it on the decline a few weeks ago. I've been reading about the financial damage commercial real estate is expected to suffer from loss of rent, payment defaults, etc. Do you think the price drop is now baked in, or give it more time before considering a re-buy. Are there better opportunities to consider in the real estate sector? Thanks, Brad

Q: Just read an article about the 3 Rs. Retreat, recovery and retest. We had a retreat of over 30% a recovery or bounce of the bottom of 20%. How about retest is it usually swift or a slow drift down or may not happen ?
Thanks for your insight!

Q: Hi Guys
a bit of a conundrum here, i came into the crash with 45% cash hoping to buy some U.S. stocks, but the low CDN dollar is making me question whether it's worth it. I'm usually a long term holder, buy U.S. stocks for their dividend growth over time. Whats the most you would be willing to pay for a U.S. dollar when buying U.S. companies, my thinking is around $1.40/ $1.41 is this to high?
thanks Gord
