Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: TK on July 26 (I saw this on the 25th) questioned you about SHOP saying he didn't want to throw good money after bad. You advised you added it to your portfolio indicating it was a buy. I seen this prior to buying it on the 25th at $47.9 and on the 26th in the morning it was down under $40. I assume you follow this stock quite closely as it seems one of the more popular stocks you deal with, Was this so well hidden by the company that even Sherlock Holmes would not uncover the issues they were having? Thank you,

Q: So I had SHOP at a full 5% position in my portfolio and now with all the carnage it's less than 2%. So my question would be - does it make sense to average down from the ridiculously high price I paid to bring the position up a bit or just let it grow back (if ever)? Am I just throwing good money after bad in trying to make up the loss? I do like SHOP and intend to hold it for many years. Thanks!

Q: Have held this fund for some time. Lately the performance of the fund appears to be under performing. Down substantially in the past 6-9 months, returns have been in the bottom quartile of comparable funds. Three year performance is around 2% a year. Are you aware of any reasons for these type of returns? I have been thinking about selling the fund and investing directly in securities that comprise your income/ balanced portfolios. Would you endorse this action or would you suggest that I continue to hold the fund. In either case would appreciate your rationale for your suggestions.

Q: NVEI is down only 78% from its highs. Goldman came out this morning with this downgrade and commentary :


Nuvei downgraded to Neutral from Buy at Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs analyst Will Nance downgraded Nuvei to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $40, down from $72. The analyst believes the company's revenue growth could be under pressure as a result of pressure on its crypto sales given the decline in crypto prices activity. In addition, softening economic trends will weigh on Nuvei's "largely discretionary verticals" of online gaming, currency trading, sports betting, and crypto trading, Nance tells investors in a research note. In addition, continued currency headwinds "could be an incremental drag on back half of the year revenues," says the analyst.

Their target is $US so the Cdn target is approx $52.

Do you have any comments on the points of the downgrade or are you in agreement with all said. And if so should we sell what is left before it goes to Zero/

Thanks


Sheldon
