Investment Q&A

Q: All the Constellation Software and related Co's had a really bad day in the markets, Wednesday, with stocks trading at new near term lows, ( Down 6-10%, in a single session ), breaking below their recent support levels.

Not sure, if some of this selling could be assigned to algorithm trading ( stop loss orders) ?

You have been a huge supporter of the stocks, and for good reasons, through the recent selling ( AI concerns and M Leonard departure related ), even highlighting CSU, as one of your Best trading ideas,

Based on your comments and most analyst ratings, these concerns are overblown and stocks should recover, in due course, as, apparently, nothing has fundamentally changed and business is as usual. However, market seems to think otherwise and price action has just been horrible.

While some investors are probably selling not to lose their built in profits over years, there could be others harvesting tax losses.

Interestingly, it is noted that these stocks generally have a bad day when AI related Companies are enjoying a nice bump, like Today ( Wednesday). And AI related boom is likely to continue to drive the markets, at least in the foreseeable future.

We are in the camp of concerned investors, with significant embedded gains in these companies, as early investors, and are worried, if we should liquidate our positions, at least partially ( half or 1/3rd ), to protect our gains. What are your thoughts ?

It looks like that a string of catalysts is needed to infuse life back into the three stocks ( specially CSU ). What could these be, in your opinion and how long would you recommend for investors to be patient ?

Thank You
