Q: Upstart looks to have had a good couple of weeks climbing from $25 to $40. In answers to previous questions, mention was made of a very high short interest at the time. Can I please ask for your usual insightful analysis for the recent Upstart quarterly results, and whether their recent stock price climb can be attributed to their recent performance and future prospects in a declining interest rate environment, or well speculation and short covering? Is the stock worth holding onto for a few more Quarters and see if they benefit from declining interest rates or if they catch another everything-AI wave, or take the cash and invest elsewhere? Thanks kindly.

Q: Hi Guys,

Thinking of cleaning house, do see any reason to keep these U:US, FOOD.CA, DOC.CA, AC.CA and DOC.CA.

thanks

Q: I hold Upstart Holdings. It is down 80% from when I bought it. I have continued to hold it as I am hoping it may bounce when rates go down. And with its AI model, am hoping it could do quite well when lending picks up. But I see you really like Propel Holdings and, while a Canadian company, it sounds like most of its business is in the US. Could you compare and contrast the two companies? Would you favor a swap from Upstart to Propel? I also hold Goeasy in the space. Thank you.
