Q: I made an error and have both Ford and GM in an RSP. I would like to sell one or both to free up some US cash. Each would incur a small loss.
Which one of Ford or GM would you sell? Perhaps both? In the alternate would you simply reduce each one and keep some of each? (The only other industry exposure I have is a small position in Martinrea)
Could you update your current views on this stock. Specifically, do you see much upside in share price and would you consider this to be a good entry point.
I read an article in the Toronto Star this morning regarding the expected strong growth in robotics (manufacturing etc.) over the next 10 years .Quoting the article, growth quadrupling by year 2025.
Can you please provide two or three of your best ideas in this space from a best risk/reward perspective(either US or Canadian) that would stand to profit the most if these projections come close to fruition.
Q: I read in the Intelligent Investor that one good measure of a stock valuation is to multiple the PE ratio with the PB ratio. If the result is under 24, that's good. Canadian banks currently fall under that threshold. However, Glusheff is far above that threshold (PE = 12, PB = 6.6). (1) Do you like this measure (2) Does it apply to most stocks, even money managers? (3) Could educate me on how you use the PB ratio in your evaluation?
Q: Hello Team, I'm considering attending PDAC in March. How do you feel about this conference? Do you think it would be worthwhile for a retail investor like myself to attend & if so, what can I expect to gain from it? Any insight you can provide is appreciated. Thank you.

Q: What do you think the impact of Canon's purchase of Axis will have on AVO- both the company and the stock price? Do you think it makes it more, or less likely, that AVO may be the target of a take over?
Q: hi folks:
there was a 'report' that seth klarman's baupost group recently bought 21mm shares of bxe. I cannot confirm this action and only see orange as being the sole 'big acquirer' can you tell me where I could look for confirmation of this (assuming it is not an internet 'rumour')
thanks
Q: There are often questions about sectors. I stumbled onto this web page that gives a clear description of each sector along with reasons for considering each sector in the light of economic conditions. I believe the 11 sectors listed (a separate one for real estate) aligns with 5i's view of how sectors should be divided. I found it helpful and thought I'd pass it along: https://www.fidelity.com/sector-investing/compare-sectors
Q: Just a general question. I'm I wrong in thinking that this time of the year where allot of people are making last minute investments in RRSPs and TFSAs seems to give some extra momentum in the stock market? It just seems that even though we had a bit of a panic in the oil sector and an unexpected rate drop, there still seems to be allot of areas which are pushing above or hanging around yearly highs.
Q: The following quote was made on the BNN evening Market Call:
"Guardian holds about 4.7-million shares of the Bank of Montreal and other investment securities which are worth a total of $16.75 per Guardian share (as of 30 Sept) vs. a $16.63 current share price (100 per cent of share value). If you strip out the value of its investment portfolio, the underlying business – which has been robust over the last few years – is a free option"
At face value this sounds like a hell of deal, which my past experience with stocks means it is to good to be true.
I see your last comments are about 9 months old so I would appreciate your thoughts on the above statement and if you view it as an attractive purchase in this current price range.
I just renewed my Membership and you have made it quick and painless. Please keep up the great work.
