Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you help me understand why SHOP went vertical (looking at the minute to minute pattern on the RBC website) Wednesday literally in a heart beat? Is the observation correct in terms of the 7-8% pop happened instantly? If correct how does this happen? Is this programmed trading? Would any regular folks have been able to buy it along the way up or did it just pop without any pauses along the way up?

Thanks again.

Q: I just become member today and trying to familiarize with your contents on website.
What portfolio should I consider for TFSA and for my RRSP. I really like your BE portfolio but there are total 25 holdings. Leaving aside portfolio consideration, what would be your opinion/suggestion for me to buy in BE today for my TFSA. If you could suggest at least 7 to 10 holdings as I have all my TFSA contribution in cash (all of my 67 K so far) in Investment account.

Q: Your recent report on KXS notes that the expected F2020 revenue growth is 11.1% and a CIBC report forecasts revenue growth of 17% in F2021. Both these estimates are below the expected F2019 revenue growth of 26% and lower than the 22.4% forecasted annual growth rate (to 2022) of the SaaS application market in supply chain management. In such a competitive market, forecasts of declines in revenue growth and forecasted growth which is lower than the market’s growth are not ideal signs and something to monitor. Have you picked up any explanations for the decline in forecasted revenue growth in F2020 and the overall choppiness of revenue growth?

Q: Thanks for your reply to my Knight Therapeutics question. Can you be more specific about
two parts:
1) Do small shareholders in GBT have to sell?
2) The stock price is surprisingly weak - do you think medisen is selling now to fund their share re-purchase or can you speculate any reason why selling is going on now after waiting so long for a big, non-dilutive cash purchase? It is a big surprise to me.
That's it.
Thank you.

Q: Your last report on this company had FWD EV/EBITDA at about 13. What is that ratio now? I am concerned the stock has appreciated well past its fair value and is due for a sharp correction.

The 5 year chart shows an incredible change in trend starting in 2019. I have rarely seen this type of chart continue higher.

I am considering selling the position and buying back in $5 or $10 lower. Is this getting too cute or prudent profit taking.
