How to ANALYZE a STOCK in CANADA // How to Read a STOCK QUOTE in QUESTRADE Tutorial

[@stormtrop4]

It's pretty amazing what you can learn off youtube. I just renovated my basement stairs after watching 'how to videos' online; saved me a bunch of money without hiring someone else to do it. Now thanks to this video, I don't need to pay a financial advisor to invest for me. Thanks again for this great video. You're saving a lot of people a lot of money :)

[@CanadianTShirt]

You got it buddy! I appreciate those kind words and I'm so happy to hear that I'm helping you gain the confidence to take control of your own financial future! 😁

[@DGill-hi3os]

you are right on him

[@McNuggetEh]

I would be very interested in a continuing video series to this topic(even if it was membership only). How to look at financials basics, accounting for stocks, how to read quarterly reports, how to collect data for intrinsic value, how various industries report financials and on and on. Thanks for making things easy to understand.

[@CanadianTShirt]

That is certainly coming! There is a TON to discuss when it comes to evaluating stocks! 😁

This is THE best Analysis explicative vid I have ever watched. It moves along fast so, had to rewatch it in batches. Thanks for posting!

This vid has been a go to reference Ive been playing over and over. Im learning bits and pieces each time. Thanks for the access to some knowledge and free reference points. I am just starting out and it has been a challenge getting basic knowledge without lots of user fees attached. If you took a crack at breaking down intrinsic value, I would be very grateful. Thanks again.

Very interesting strategy but I just check my horoscope and buy any stock with a ticker that matches the first letter of the first three words. If the stock has been going up lately, it's a buy. Then I wait for it to drop and I panic sell. Tea leaves work too.

[@lewgreentree4084]

Hi Adrienne, Love your channel! How do you determine or calculate EPS, DPR, EP etc for ETFs as they contain many many individual stocks?

[@CanadianTShirt]

That's the problem, you don't! ETFs don't have "earnings" and thus none of the metrics derived from it like EPS, DPR etc. Technically speaking, you could calculated these metrics by using the metrics of each individual stock and multiplying it by the allocated weight of each holding in the ETF but no one does this and it's not worth the effort. When it comes to evaluating ETFs, you'll want to evaluate the largest holdings within it but you can't evaluate all of them

[@knrguy34]

Hi Adrian, I'm a big fan of your videos during the pandemic time I opened questrade RRSP account after watching your US stocks investments video. Currently, the portfolio is down by 35% I'm planning to buy a home in the next couple of months please advise should I take that out RRSP amount and face the losses & pay the downpayment, or don't touch it until the market bounce back. I'm not in any hurry to utilise that RRSP money, but if I can't use it for a first-time house, when can I use it?

[@CanadianTShirt]

Oh man... that is really awful timing..... I've talked about this in many of my videos but whenever you invest, you HAVE to have the mindset that the money you put into stocks you will NOT need or touch for at least 3 years, ideally 10+ years! That's because in the short term, the market can be very volatile but if you extend your time horizon by 5+ years, even if there is a market crash, you will STILL be profitable! Check out my Stocks Explained video where I explain the importance of long term investing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpbPqnx6hbuir9k

[@CanadianTShirt]

So if you KNOW that you need this money in 1 or 2 years, for tuition or a down payment, do NOT put that money in the stock market! That money should be held in a safe and secure High Interest Savings account like EQ Bank. Sure you don't make too much income in interest but the money is guaranteed to be there for you since you will need it very soon!

[@CanadianTShirt]

In your case, we're already past that. Of course I need to know more about your situation and other assets but I would strongly advise you NOT to sell at a 35% loss right now.... I really hope that you weren't banking on your RRSP money to fund your down payment. I'll be making a whole video about the Home Buyer's Plan, it can be a useful tool but for most situations, I honestly consider it more of a last resort. You should use money in your savings, non-registered investments and TFSA FIRST in order to fund your down payment before you use your RRSP. Of course there are exceptions if you want to take advantage of the tax refunds and if you don't expect a salary increase in the next 5 years (I will cover this in my upcoming Home Buyers Plan video)

[@CanadianTShirt]

But pulling out now and locking in a guaranteed 35% loss right now would hurt my soul so please try not to do that unless it's your last resort. Try to hold onto it and let the market bounce back, this will make a HUGE difference in the long term! I hope that helps! =)

[@tradeshmarts2056]

Thank You for the Information in details. My question is, does this approach apply to etfs and reits?

[@CanadianTShirt]

In some areas yes, in some areas no. For example, an ETF contains dozens or hundreds of stocks. So if you want to analyze the metrics of an ETF, you would have to analyze the metrics of each individual stock and then do a weighted average based on their portfolio allocation. No one is going to do that so the metrics like P/E ratio and EPS don't apply to ETFs (they only apply to the individual stocks within the ETF). If the ETF was only 2 stocks, 50:50 then it would be easy but for 200+ stocks, it's a complicated calculation

[@CanadianTShirt]

And for REITs, many of these metrics apply but as I talked about in my REITS EXPLAINED video, when it comes to REITs, Earnings or Net Income doesn't tell the whole story. It's better to look at a measure called FFO (Funds from Operation) as a better representation of the true cashflow of the REIT. Check out my REITS EXPLAINED video for more detail on this =) kzbin.info/www/bejne/apuTh6iLhq2jeJo

[@evafernandez1237]

Hello!! I am writing to you again with a question! I have been looking at REI shares and right now with the banking situation I think it makes a lot of sense for them to be in negatives until, I guess, they cut interest rates and go back to growth. Now I guess might be a good time to buy shares as the price is quite devalued, isn't it? Thanks!!!

[@CanadianTShirt]

That's what I expect! Once interest rates come down, real estate should recover nicely!

[@AceVenturaXii]

Great video. Very thorough. Something that bothers me, looking at your top right corner you briefly mention that the P&L shows the money you'd make (or lose) if you sold the stock. The friggin number keeps changing from green to red and back again. When I look at a red number, I'm assuming that you'd LOSE money if you sold it. I wish it wouldn't change colours like that. In my brain you're going from making thousands to losing thousands in a matter of seconds LOL.

[@CanadianTShirt]

Oh no! Don't worry about that, it is a capital GAIN of about $1400! (it used to be higher but stocks are dipping a bit lately 😅) If it was a negative amount, it would be in brackets! The reason it changes colour from green to red is if the share price is higher or lower than the opening share price at the start of the morning!

[@CanadianTShirt]

So if the market opened at $95 and at this second the share price is $94.80, it will be in red. Then 5 minutes later, it rises to $95.10, it will be in green but regardless, I am still looking at a PROFIT of around $1400 =)

[@xoxUnD3R0aThxox]

if the company's eps is -.093 and they pay an annual dividend of 0.60 on top of that loss (real scenario), i wonder how you calculate the dividend payout ratio and what its meaning would be

[@CanadianTShirt]

Great question! When a company has negative earnings (they LOST money that quarter) then they leave the payout ratio blank. There is no real way to interpret that number

[@CanadianTShirt]

But ya it's not a good sign! For one quarter, it can be okay but if they are losing money quarter after quarter, that's a giant red flag

[@robwhermanson]

But you do get taxed on the RRSP when you withdrawal it because it's taxable. So all your interest is eventually taxed right?

[@CanadianTShirt]

With the RRSP, whatever you withdraw will be taxable as income. That's why it's important to be strategic and only withdraw when you're in a low tax bracket, ideally in retirement

[@robwhermanson]

@CanadianTShirt. THANK YOU fot your informative video. That makes it a tough decision for me. I don't know if it would be best to invest with the RRSP or TFSA. If half or more of the money is interest or dividend, then is better to get taxed the 15% on the TFSA or as income ftom the RRSP. Hmmm, I think you should make another video to help me decide lol 😆.

[@CanadianTShirt]

You're right it's not a simple decision! Bottom line is that the TFSA is ALWAYS a good thing, it can't hurt you. Whereas the RRSP "can" be even better but sometimes it can be worse. I'll make a whole video breaking down different scenarios =)

[@maninderkaur9256]

Can I transfer my Tfsa gic account and rrsp gic accounts to wealthsimole without paying any fees?

Yes you can transfer over to WealthSimple or Questrade. I have a whole video showing how to do that transfer with Questrade: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJeUq6icg9GEic0

[@CanadianTShirt]

Your bank will charge you a transfer fee and I know that Questrade will reimburse you up to $150 so it won't cost you anything with Questrade. I hope WealthSimple will reimburse you as well but with them, it usually depends on how much you transfer over. You need to move tens of thousands to get a rebate. Best of luck!

Hi, can we buy etf or stocks through incorporation or business account in Canada ?

[@CanadianTShirt]

Absolutely you can but speak to your corporate accountant because there are limits based on your business situation! If it's an active corporation, there are limits to how much passive income (investment income) you can generate. But if you own a holding company, then you can hold as many stocks and ETFs as you want since all of the income is considered passive. I'll cover this in my upcoming corporation videos =)

Thankyou for sharing. My question is though: when you do receive dividends, depending on the payout period, the container you use I.e. TFSA or other? Do you have the use quest trades TFSA or whichever other container you use, or can you receive your dividends payments using an outside TFSA … one you already have - for example could my dividend payments be payed into a “ Sun Life TFSA,” depending on if Quest trade allows that and more importantly would they charge me?

[@CanadianTShirt]

Hey Michael! Whatever account you hold your stocks in, that's the account where you will receive the cash from dividends. I have 3 accounts: Margin, TFSA and RRSP and if I hold TD stocks in my TFSA account, when the dividend is paid out, I receive that cash inside my TFSA account. Once I have that cash, I can choose to withdraw it and send that money to my bank and do whatever but it will always be paid out to the account holding those stocks =)

Hey Adrian, quick question. What if the stock has a P/E ratio of -15 (minus 15) is that like really bad. Thanks 👍

[@CanadianTShirt]

That means that the company is LOSING money, they have a net loss not a net profit. Often times companies with a net loss won't display a P/E ratio since it doesn't really make sense for negative values but sometimes you'll see this negative listed. If a company has a net loss just as a one time thing, they had a bad quarter, it's not the end of the world. But if they are consistently losing money every quarter that is definitely a red flag. I hope that helps! =)

What makes TD your favourite bank?

[@CanadianTShirt]

I've talked about TD stock in detail many times, including this video here on my Favourite Canadian Dividend Stocks =) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYalnXlnjKmphNE

[@CanadianTShirt]

It's a combination of dividend growth potential and their successful expansion into the US which separates them from the other banks =)

Hello Adrian!! Can you tell me to buy q of the books or audio books you suggested here. I saved some money and if you know a book can help me. I will really appreciate a suggestion . Thanks

[@CanadianTShirt]

I can definitely recommend all of the books I listed in the description box, I read them all many years ago and found them all helpful, depending on what topic you're interested in! =)

[@CanadianTShirt]

I will probably make a video discussing my favourite financial books and I'll do a short review of each of them =)

I got an alert from one of my stocks saying " a smart alert for name of stock was triggered.' and it showed Traded above high volume. wondering why they alert when volume is high or low. and they alert when 52 week low or high. can you fill me on in the detail?

[@CanadianTShirt]

It's an automatic notification system! You get emails when a stock has unusual trading activity (usually means the stock is spiking up or dropping quickly) and when they reach new highs or lows. You can disable those notifications but I do find them helpful. You shouldn't panic or anything but it's good to be informed if your stock is having unusual activity =)

Bought Shopify at the wrong time when it was at its all time high and now in huge loss..

[@CanadianTShirt]

Ouch.... that definitely hurts.... It's a tough call to decide to hold onto a stock that was overvalued or to cut your losses and sell.... in the end, if you believe that Shopify has a long term future, you might want to hold it and let it recover but it might take years to get there!

For the love… please… please… explain to us your adoring fans… please explain to us what all those annoying options are when looking up a stock on Questrade. You’re new and you think you’re going to just look up TD stock? Nope. There’s about a million options with the ticker TD. This was EXTREMELY confusing to me as a fresh newbie and still haven’t heard a real explanation of this.

[@CanadianTShirt]

I can definitely make a video about that! So for 99% of the stocks you want, you want to ignore those suffixes! So for US stocks, there will be no period or suffix and for Canadian stocks, just look for the ".TO" If you see a stock with a ".A" or '.B" etc those are called preferred shares which I do NOT recommend for the average investor!

[@CanadianTShirt]

It's a bit confusing to explain in a comment but for TD for example, ONLY look at "TD.TO" The other options are alternative versions of stocks which have different rules regarding how they receive dividends, I wouldn't worry about preferred shares =)

[@AceVenturaXii]
