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 prefer CRM or NOW. It seems CRM is down in sympathy with NOW results. Were they really that bad? CRM trailing PE is almost 30 but NOW is much higher I believe. I have sold half my NVDA with the idea to move it into the next phase of AI adoption, software. Am thinking one of these and perhaps PLTR. You have much posted on it, any information you could add regarding buying it, would be helpful. Any other software companies you would consider? Thank you so much.

Q: I'm looking for a stable long term hold with some growth and a generous dividend to complement my Enbridge holding? These are all US holdings, do I have to worry about special withholding taxes? Are they suitable for RRSP's?

Q: I have two small holdings in the materials sector, EQX (1% of portfolio) and NGT (1.5% of portfolio). I am thinking of consolidating them. NGT is the larger company by far, and has faced some negative investor sentiment recently, but to my knowledge, remains profitable and should perform better in the next several quarters. EQX has had better recent momentum, but is much smaller than NGT. This would be for a longer-term hold.

An alternative strategy would be to sell both and purchase another gold mining company with these funds.

I would appreciate any thoughts or insights you would be willing to share. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your reply.

Q: EVVTY is down 7% this morning. It just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper but fundamentally the company seems very strong with a few issues its been handling. But the earnings this morning looked good, a small miss on rev but EPS beat. I'm thinking the pullback is more about mgmt's comments and expected margin decrease. They increased the div and are buying back more shares, and debt free. Is this more attractive now or do the continued negative issues and mgmt comments still make this a company to stay away from? Thx
