Investment Q&A

Q: BSM announced so-so eps and revs but seems to be making progress migrating from a hardware- to a software/analytics-centric value proposition (which should also improve margins.) Your take?

Q: Further to my earlier question about CGI's latest results. PRNewswire and RBC Direct Investing show revenue of $2.96 billion which matched estimates of $2.94-2.97. The only 'down' value was the slight drop in 'cash for operating activities' whatever that is. I still don't understand the drop in its share price.

Q: Can you tell me your opinion on Labrador Iron Ore Royalty.
Buy, sell, or hold?

Q: Hello,
what are your thoughts going forward with these companies.?
thanks

Q: Any reason WEF is not participating in the positive bounce that IFP and WFT are experiencing?

Q: From the recent financials results and press releases (increased revenues, most retail stores open in Canada out of any private or public company) it seems like a stock with good potential in a very uncertain industry, what are your thoughts? Large volume swing today and uptick that doesn't appear to have a clear explanation (besides volume). Thanks.

Q: Do the earnings results change the long term view here? Thank-you.

Q: Please comment on the earning result of MX? Thanks

Q: this question is about tax loss selling. Close to 30 days ago I bought a company in my RIF for the equivalent in a taxable account. The plan was to sell the company in the taxable account in 30 days and keep it in the RIF. Well, I forgot about this and bought it again in the taxable account today. I don't think this will affect my selling it in the next week or so for a tax loss? but, I wanted to check to make sure.

Second bonus question with applicable credits deducted: We have a fairly large RIF and thus have most of our US holdings in it. I was wondering if there are any downsides to holding most of our fixed income in the RIF in US dollars? The only downside that I can think of is that the American econonomy is so much bigger than ours that it may be a better place to invest in stocks.
thanks as always

Q: I have a question about GLW. It had a nice 11% pop yesterday. Can you enlighten me as to what drove this ?

Q: I suspect this company is not followed by 5i research as it does not make money yet. I just wanted to know if you have heard of this company (It's headquarter out of Vancouver) and is there anything about this company that you can share?

Q: Could I get your opinion on a new ETF (September 2018) symbol FGO. It is a managed bond type instrument.

Q: What’s the difference between the different BAM shares, any preference?
If we already hold BAM.PR.N , should we change them to another BAM?

Q: This is about the volatility of stocks such as Shopify. I understand why it is volatile being new, growing fast and very high valuation. My question is, assuming it continues to grow what might one look for as indicators that the volatility is going to settle down.
Thanks as always,
Peter
