Investment Q&A

Q: CNBC The drone market is about to go parabolic because of AI and war. How to play it.

Which 2 should I buy?

Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Wow...the more you seem to say positive things about these favourite stocks, harder they seem to fall! MSFT is about 10$ from your suggested price. MU which is already inexpensive according to you, is getting even more inexpensive! I am not sure if it is all due to sentiment. For example I read a reasonably good review about UAE AND Saudi Arabia selling their stake in many of the MAG 7 and their commitment to Data centres may be wavering. At least that is one of the theories being floated by the MAG Bears!

If these BIG boys are selling, then there is a long way to reach the bottom, no?

I am still on a "Holding" mode!

Always appreciate your measured answers.

Q: Hello Team,
Could you give me an analysis of these two stocks. Are either or both buys in your opinion?
Thank You,
Barry

Q: ELF Beauty has continued to drop. Would you average down or simply exit the position?

Q: I have heard that Cormark has lowered their target from C $51 to C $ 46 because even though MDA doesn't deal with Artemis Gateway, they were supposed to build Canadarm-3 for the Artemis Gateway a contract worth $1B and I guess, that is out the door.

Is this true and the reason for another drop today?

Q: My first question is just out of curiosity . When I do a question search on MU using the Canadian CDR and the American stock symbol I get two sets of different answers ..... { and the questions have nothing to do with hedged currencies } I found I got more company specific questions using the American symbol . Why is that ?

Up until now I have been uninterested in the MU CDR but my interest is now tweaked . So I have been a throwing a lowball price at it daily . Each day my order goes unfilled and the following day the price is below what I wanted to pay so I do the same thing. { Today's lowball bid is $16.37 } .

Now I would like to get educated on what I am attempting to buy . All I know is it is a memory chip maker .....I'd like to know ..... A current P/E ratio ? A forward P/E ratio ? A comment on future expectations both from you and the company ? Why are investors selling ? What would make it stop falling ? Do you expect it to stop falling ? In other words an overall analysis to help me decide whether to stop lowballing and just make a decision to buy or not to buy ...... Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: Would love your analysis of this gold miner in the Yukon?
It has a very large Market cap and do you foresee the Coffee Gold Project coming into fruition?
Thanx as always

Q: Everyone, what five positive trends in the market today. Trying to hear good news in the market.

Q: Your thoughts on this new ETF ...Harvest Premium Yield Canadian Bank ETF. It's info sheet indicates it "is designed to deliver twice monthly cash distributions with an opportunity for long term growth. This ETF provides investors access to a portfolio of leading Canadian bank equities with strong fundamentals and growth potential."

I know it is new but the dividend of 7 cents twice a month (pls confirm my number is correct) is very compelling ... However, less so if the payout is simply going to be 50% or more as ROC.

Q: Can you name 3 Canadian and 3 US companies that have above average EBITDA, pricing power, generate high cash flow. Please rank in order of preference to buy now for long term hold

Thx Yves

Q: Which of CP, TFII would you recommend for a long term hold in a TFSA?

Q: How can I buy ARKVX in Canada? It has the largest holding of SpaceX stock, which is about to go public.

Also, if I Sell $10,000 in my TFSA and Buy $10,000 in another Stock in my TFSA, will this impact my TFSA Limit? Keep in mind my Margin leverages my TFSA.

Thanks as always for your amazing Service!

Q: Today you answered “probably not” to my question about whether ETFs that track the S&P 500 are more risky than mid-cap ETFs which are trading at their historical values. However, your reasoning — that the S&P 500’s valuation is not excessively high given expected earnings growth and potential lower interest rates, and that investors tend to favour large-cap stocks over mid-caps in uncertain markets — seems to suggest the opposite conclusion.

Could you clarify whether you meant “probably yes” instead?
Could you also indicate if your answer differs if one's time frame is 10 years+?

Q: Hello Team,
Which of these would you prefer for total return over a three year period and why?
Thank You,
Barry

Q: I remain with a small position in OBDC. Even though it is down a fair bit and has been for quite some time, There has been many comments about OWL but not OBDC. I bought it for the dividend and will be happy enough as long as it continues. Do you see the OBDC dividend as secure? Do you see any prospect that the whole enterprise might collapse? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi 5i,
Because 5i looks favourably on ZDC I've looked into it with an eye to investing some of my hard earned money. Based on my review I wonder if you could elaborate on the reasons for your favourable analysis. I went to its website expecting to see a highly sophisticated and somewhat difficult to duplicate mobile security technology and found instead that ZDC basically provides little camera towers that it'll wheel out to a jobsite to provide mobile surveillance. Which really doesn't seem like much to me, but does really look like something that almost anyone with a mind to could replicate without much trouble.
I understand that it's a nice little business, but is ZDCs really a serious candidate for investment?
(I know this sounds very skeptical, but I was stunned by what a one trick pony ZDC appears to be, and not a very sophisticated pony at that. But it's a Calgary company and I'm a Calgary boy I would like to invest in it - if there's really any reason to think that reasonably soon - 1 or 2 years - it might be worth $11 or $12 instead of its current $5 and change, to justify taking the risk.)
Thanks 5i - I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter

Q: Greetings 5i, may we please have an updated analysis and your opinion on AbCellera and its future prospects? What are the major positives and major risks? Thank you.

Q: I bought BLX on February 04. Made a nice gain in a short time. Would selling now at small discount from $37.25 and purchase NPI as replacement.

Q: Hello team,

Is ARM a buy?

"Arm just announced a new data center CPU chip, the Arm AGI CPU, which can directly compete with its customers. Meta Platforms and OpenAI are initial customers for the Arm AGI CPU, with Meta citing significant improvements in data center performance. The new chips will compete with data center CPUs from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices." Barron's

It is up 8% after hours.
