Investment Q&A

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

Q: Please suggest 2 companies in Canada and 2 companies in the USA you would buy today. No need to worry about portfolio diversity, or sector weighting. Just your 2 favorites in each country and let's say with a 5 year time frame before I would want to access the funds or switch them to income stocks.

Q: It seems to me that the 30% drop in Detour Gold is way overdone. Do you agree? DGC has quite a high percentage of shares owned by institutions (>60% I believe). Could this big drop be due to computer programmed selling - sheep following sheep, etc.? I bought a small position in DGC several months ago, thinking it's a high cost producer but has a lot of reserves, so it could be a good leveraged investment if the POG rises significantly. Has anything really changed with this new guidance?

Q: How would you rank these three stocks? Would you purchase at their current price? What upside would you estimate they would have in the next year?

Q: If one believes that the move to a hydrogen economy is inevitable where should they be investing? My sense is that Shell is one of the better plays from a supplier perspective (c/w 5% dividend on the ADR) and maybe Toyota from a transportation perspective. However, neither offers a particularly inspiring 5 year chart. Do you have any better suggestions (possibly Canadian, though I am looking for a relatively secure name rather than a small start-up)?

Thanks for all your help; all responses on your site seem to contain something I find useful.

Q: I am thinking of adding these for income and noticed that none are listed in your Income Portfolio. How would rate these with respect to debt level, safety of dividend, P/E, potential growth, other metrics and management team? This is a long term hold and I can stand a fair bit of volitility.
Thanks for your excellent advice.

Q: I do not understand what is happening with West Fraser Timber. They released favorable first quarter results on Wednesday, touched $95.10 early yesterday and since then have dropped nearly $10 (at $86.51 as I write this). I find no explanation for this drop on my brokerage website or in any news headlines. This seems like a lot more than profit-taking. What are your thoughts? I considered this a core long-term holding.
