Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Do you still think xtc.to is an undervalued stock? Underwater by 40% so would this be a good stock for a tax loss? It has a horrific chart for the last two and half years.


EPS .18 for this quarter represents a p/e of 13.6 which is a premium to mg.to mre.to and lnr.to. Are you still
Confident in this company or move on to else. It has been a serious underperformer in the sector.

Last 1 year
MRE.TO + 100%
LNR.TO +33%
MG.TO +30%
XTC.TO -4.5%

Q: What would be your recommended ETF's for the following sectors that would provide safety and a regular monthly income . Financial, Consumer, Utilities ,, Energy, and Healthcare. I have noticed that you generally prefer for retired conservative investors like me to follow more the income portfolio.
Your comments and recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I know you have answered this question before (more than once). Could you please give me the link to the blog or article you wrote a while back that went through the type of investments that are most suitably held in an RRSP, a TFSA, a taxable cash account, etc. I could really use it when you wrote it. Now I have an opportunity to set up things more purposively and would like to review it. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
What do you think of Cannibix as a speculative play? Also, are you aware of companies that do breathalyzers for alcohol so that i can get an idea if the concept will take off from a market potential? Any idea why Aurora keeps going up while Cannimed is stagnant at 19-20 range when the offer is at 24? The results for Couche Tard were good. I would have expected a surge in the stock but it closed only a percentage higher. Was there anything in the news that may have tempered the stock price? Thanks very much.

Q: I see on the Globe site there is a notice from a law company...

Johnson Fistel, Announces Investigations of INC Research Holdings, Inc., Acorda Therapeutics, Inc., and Shopify Inc.; Investors Encouraged to Contact Firm

Is this just another nuisance claim? The stock has dropped 7% today.

Just a note: I see Spin Master products being sold at Master Mind, Walmart and Canadian Tire. I don't think the Toys-R-Us problem will impact Spin Master sales in the long run.

Q: Hello Folks:
Could you please give me your view on Merck and Company (which along with Smith- Kline) has had problems executing new drugs (eg. lung cancer medications) in their pipelines. I also have previously owned Gilead, whose new HIV drug was reduced in value because of government pricing restrictions. My other health care equities are Johnson and Johnson and Knight Therapeutics. Do you think there are better health industry options (with decent dividends and growth potential) in the U.S. other than companies such as Merck, Gilead etc. or should one look to another sector.
Thanks for everything
brian

Q: The tech meltdown hurt today, but the stocks which cost me the most weren't tech. Any idea why Visa and MasterCard were pummeled today? American Express was actually up on the day. And as long as we're on the subject, do you like the credit card companies?

Q: I already own AMAT with good gains.
Would you be adding at this point perhaps MU or LRCX? Or do you think the industry had a good run and the gains are done? Is sentiment against them now or this is just a hiccup? I know only time will tell but I would value your take on it.
