Investment Q&A

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

Q: In a US $ registered acct with a growth tilt, equities that we hold in a 'smaller' % (1%-2.5% range) of total portfolio are as follows: ADBE, BKNG, CROX CRWD, META, SMCI . Would you put new money into any of these ? At what price ? And what approximate % of a total portfolio would you go up to for any of them ?
Thank you

Q: Hi,

Reviewing the Q&A section, I see you are positive about PLTR but have cautioned that it is expensive. I reviewed research reports on iTrade's website and see the analysts have a SELL rating!! What is your current take on PLTR?

I would like to initiate a small position. (Use your suggestion to buy one third now, one third later and finally full position.)

Also what are other companies that you would suggest as an alternatives, if not PLTR?
Many thanks.

Q: Hello,

Looking to add to my current positions in these companies (registered account, 10+ year time frame). If you could please rank them in order of potential upside that would be great (and if there is a company you would stay away from, please indicate).

Thanks!

Q: Hello Team,
I was looking at buying positions in both or 1 of LMN and Ats. However both have been on a sort of run lately , especially LMN. Should I wait for the next pullback to buy into these names? I know you’re not a fan of timing the market but looking for your take here. Thanks

Q: QCOM is not expensive and their financials look OK but it has been going sideways for some time and has not participated in the most recent rally. Would you consider letting it go and can you suggest another US company with momentum?

Thank you,

Mike

Q: Hi,

To a question asked by Alexandra on June 26th, not even a month ago(!!) you felt 250 would be the next level of consolidation.( I am paraphrasing here)
It is 300 now. Would you like to hazard a guess how high this could go! I "get" the momentum factor, Ai phenomenon etc., Still this thing is mind boggling! Whee is it going to end?!

Q: Hi, We have held a full position in ENB for many years and added a 1.5% position in TRP about a year ago, at $60-61, in a Non-Regd account, for Income/Growth.The investment, however, has been a huge disappointment. The endless cost issues with Coastal Link pipeline project and no clear timeline is now widely known. Are you aware of any catalysts in the near future ?

Over numerous comments, you have clearly indicated your preference for ENB and there being no particular need to own both companies. Based on the current scenario, would you support moving out of TRP ? Now or wait for the quarterly results ?

And, if we decide to sell the whole position ( and at least book the capital loss), what would be a reasonable price level you would use?

Thank You

Q: Scotiabank Canadian Low Volatility Index (2 year) Minimum Guaranteed Return 4%, Maximum Full Term Return 11%. A friend has it, she can't explain how it works.

Could you please explain to a person like myself who cannot understand how someone would get 11%, would it still take 2 years to get the 11%?

What is the minimum amount to be able to purchase this?

Are these things something knowledgeable financial individuals like yourself might buy?

Thank you.
