Investment Q&A

Q: Hi there,

I bought half a position in PRL at around $25. Would now be a good time to top up to a full position or would you wait for a pull back?

Thank you!

Q: Short covering, I dont see any news?

Q: Given what seems to be a market bent on devouring risk assets what are your thought on XRP? I keep a small portion of our portfolio for moon shots and just place a small limit order.

Q: What are your thoughts on IBKR as it's stock price seems to be breaking out and over 1/2 its business is retail investors.

Hood has done "tremendous" as of late, do you think IBKR could be next to outperform?

thnx

Dave

Q: Having bough BX at its lows of this April in the low $120's, I am debating trimming and re deploying. Based on metrics; P/S, P/B, P/B and other relevant measures; is there still potential for a higher run up. Analysts have a slight downside rating.

Q: HOOD or SOFI and why? Long term hold!

Q: Hi 5i,

I am Canadian and holding the above stocks. I am so upset that brk.b not do well these days, because I am holding 2/3. 1/3 are holding the rest including RY, TRI, CNR, CP, ENB, DOL. would you please comment above stocks. I am not an aggressive person but look for re-balance to get better sleep.

Many thanks.

Q: CIBC doesn't seem to get much attention & love compared to the other Canadian banks . I know it had challenges in the past (e.g. 10 years ago), but they managed through it and from what I can see, it has been a solid & consistent performer since then. So, what's up?

Q: NVDA has now grown to 8% of my portfolio and I am considering paring it back down (again) to 5%. I don't have any crypto exposure, so am looking at investing the freed-up funds in HOOD. This would bring my investment in financials to just over 30%. I know you can't comment on individual allocations, but if this were your portfolio and you already held BN, BAM, X, V and HMAX...would you be concerned about putting too many eggs in the same basket? Or would you feel there is sufficient diversity within the already-held funds to add HOOD? Thank you.

Q: Any reason why this company dropped almost 5% on Friday

Q: HBTE I realize it's very new, very small, highly concentrated on a very volatile sector, other than that, curious on your thoughts on this etf? Would you consider the holdings "leaders" as advertised?

Q: I'd like some information on the ETF MSTE ....... Looking on the Harvest website they offer the following explanation of what the ETF is .......

" The Harvest MicroStrategy Enhanced High Income Shares ETF invests all its assets, directly or indirectly, in Class A shares of MicroStrategy. MicroStrategy provides business intelligence, mobile software, and cloud-based services. The company’s securities have developed into a Bitcoin treasury holding company, due to its substantial holdings in the world’s premier digital currency."

I take it from the last sentence that it has evolved into a " proxy for Bitcoin " . Is that correct ? And from it's historical high to it's current trading level it has fallen 9.9% . Is that correct ? And looking at it's history of dividend payments { it has paid four dividends . Two of .66 and two of .60 } I come up with a 40% dividend { based on the lessor of the two dividend rates } ..... Is that correct ?

Personally I am from the Jamie Dimon school of crypto-currency ..... The stuff has no value whatever. But I can't deny the steady growth since someone came up with the idea of " Let's make a currency for criminals the government hasn't regulated " ......

So what am I buying here ? A less volatile method of investing in Bitcoin with a honking big dividend ? Or if one is so interested, is Bitcoin itself the better choice ? .....

Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: I would like to start a position in the crypto/blockchain space of approximately 5% in my portfolio. How do you best envision me achieving this goal?

Q: I am very concerned with the performance of Berkshire Hathaway since the announcement of Buffett's retirement—it is down 11% in the past two months, while the S&P 500 is up 12% during these two months. Thanks to BRK-B’s performance in the past few years, it is the biggest single holding in my taxable portfolio. I am considering biting the bullet, paying capital gains taxes, and replacing it with the FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF (BUFR). Can you share your thoughts on this?

Q: Power Corporation hit a low of $36 last summer, then climbed steadily for the most part since then to $53 now. What is the reason for the large climb in price?

Historically, the price has been much lower than $53. Over the last 10 years, the normal trading range has been $30 to $39. Has something fundamentally changed with this company to warrant the high current price?

I would like to buy POW for a 3 to 5-year hold but do not want to overpay if the current price is an outlier on the graph.

What would a reasonable entry price be?

Q: When looking at POW's historical stock price, I see two spikes: $70 in 1998 and $57 in 2004. I don't even believe that stock splits have anything to do with these prices that, even that long ago, are higher than today.

Was POW's stock price really that over-priced back then? I think POW is still cheap now, but with such a seemingly wide valuation range since the '90's do we have a sense where POW's current valuation sits relative to its history? Is it an apples : oranges comparison today vs. then?

How do we see POW's outlook going forward ?

Q: Do you think there is still runway on HOOD or do you feel it's currently priced to perfection?

Q: Is it possible to invest in private markets through ETF?

Q: Wondering you thoughts on the Canadian banks. I currently hold TD and CBIL.

Q: How do you like its future. 10 years forward looking is there a large addressable market for growth & profitability. Could it be a take over target?
