Investment Q&A

Q: what are your best ideas for recent, and for no reason, significant dips on stock prices for great companies? (US or CAN)

Q: Can you please shed some Light on why Hammond is such a volatile trader? Aside from the big drop after earnings there are big swings in price on no news.
Thank you

Q: hi folks, significance of partnership for Galaxy Digital glxy/t with State Street bank & trust....stock traded up 5% ahead of news (when Bitcoin was near $60k)...and continued upward momentum today....would you be a buyer at C$17sh level, and what do you think is the trend for bitcoin....seems to be drifting lower from highs of $70k+...thanks as always, jb

Q: I see that you like ULTA, and i've been looking into it a bit. I agree that there is quite a bit to like with the company. But the one part i'm a little hung up on is the growth potential and past performance. Any time frame in the last 5 years (11%) has not been very good. But if we look out much longer at the 10 year (316%) and beyond it looks much better. I see that the valuation is quite attractive, compared to their historical valuation. But I wonder based on the last 5 years if the growth isn't behind them. Why do you think they've underperformed for the last 5 years, and why do you think that is going to change going forward? Thx!

Q: At today's current valuation and forward outlook which do you prefer? A short explanation would be great, plus how long do you thing these "picks and shovels" stocks have to go before spending slows down? Would you prefer the companies with the access to the "data" to be more of a longer term AI strategy? Thx.

Q: pCELH seems to be in a good sub-category of consumer discretionary focussed on fitness, weight loss, and wellness.

They seem to have a good advertising and social media strategy: https://www.brandcredential.com/post/unveiling-the-celsius-marketing-strategy

The recent distribution deal with Pepsi-Co should bring new growth opportunities, and all financial metrics look great.

I was really interested in this company until I heard the Celsius management team speak to investors on a recent investor call (Everecore ISI). They did not sound very mature or well prepared.

Putting that aside, would you see any problem to own both monster, and Celsius since they are going after different demographics? Is Celsius the Lululemon of energy drinks - possibly minus the management team?

Q: With the tsx dropping over the last few weeks and valuations adjusting for companies you like. What would be your top 3 Canadian and top 3 US names that you would start a position in, if buying today for the long term? Thx

Q: My patience with what appears to be a much loved KXS is now pretty much stretched.

I am told their business is on a solid footing and they are fundamentally doing well? So, is there a reason it has been sitting on the sidelines during this broad rally?

Q: Good morning,

I was wondering if you could look in to your crystal ball and predict where we may find KXS 5-10-15 years from now....not necessarily the price, but just in general.

To me, it seems like KXS is not widely known, but is establishing itself as a quiet market leader. I like that they don't issue shares. What could the future hold - a take-out candidate? a dividend? dual-listing? I know they make some acquisitions, but will they continue to make more? Could this be an international leader in supply-chain one day? With a market cap of aprox. $4.3 billion could it one day scale to a larger Canadian tech name (e.g. $10 billion+)? Will that PE ratio ever come down? I know there is a report on it, just more considering what the future may hold....

Q: As you are well aware, Bitcoin has been taking off all over the world. When I watch interviews of people at conventions, it appears most are investing to protect against inflation and to counter the demise of the US dollar in the future. What are you're opinions on this? I realize it has been very volatile and risky, so do have any recommendations on technology linked to Bitcoin, but so far hasn't taken off?

thanks,

Paul

Q: Good Morning - I need to trim Nvidia a little. Can you please suggest a few high conviction names for TFSA (US or CDN) with a similar risk profile. Thanks!

Q: With their US acquisition all but effectively locked (only Canadian regulator to go), is this a good buy? For small cap growth over the next year or two?

Q: Hi 5i

What would be your top 5 undervalued US growth stocks with good fundamentals that you would buy for a 5 year hold?
No specific sector required.

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Goeasy plans to introduce a credit card soon to their existing customers and appointed Patrick Ens who comes from capital one with experience in the credit card market.

Do you believe it could be a significant growth vector for the company if the execution is done properly ? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Hi there what’s your thoughts on all the announcements by O yesterday?

Q: CELH continues to decline. I added once on the way down. Would it be worth while to add one more time to get too a full position?
