Investment Q&A

Q: As a follow-up to Blake's question a couple of days ago, I see there was a negative report from Piper Sandler to underweight due to recent runup, valuations and reference to elements in 2024, Am now underweight SHOP and wondering whether I should keep accumulating or wait for a pullback. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your great service!

Q: Hello, Hammond Power stock has been so strong ( $52 to $82 ), within a span of less than 2 months. We have a very small 0.60% position, started around $57. Based on your favourable view and analysts' commentary, we want to build the position up to at least 1.5 - 2%. Recently stock has traded in $78-$82 range. Would it make sense to start accumulating in $75-78 range, or wait until next quarter ? Market strategists believe that small cap stocks have a lot of room to catch up. We are just a little concerned with HPS.a stock's incredible 200% + rise, this year and a possibility of stock to falter, for any reason. Thank You

Q: Hi, I noticed that in Wednesday's trading, around noon, someone placed two large BUY orders at $75.80, for 30k and 18k shares (Total trade value $3.6 mln ). Stock later traded down to $75.51. Within an hour, after the orders were filled, Someone placed exactly the same two SELL orders at $76.20, for 30k and 18k shares. The stock bounced back up and both Sell orders were filled just before market close. These were not Block Trades, as there were multiple sellers/buyers for all four orders. CIBC World Market was the broker, both for initial buy orders and later sell orders.

Assuming (safely), that both buy/sell orders originated from the same party, the trades resulted in a net profit of $19k, on a trade value of $3.6 mln. Are these, Day Traders ( using Margin or not ), making money on a small arbitrage? Is this type of activity not uncommon during volatile trading of a stock, like today ? Does it have a relevance to large interest in ATD stock, Or, there is just not much to read here ? I am just curious and trying to educate myself. Thank You

Q: Hi, Based on the quarterly results and management commentary/confidence about their 5 years Growth Plan, and considering today's market reaction/price action of the stock, would you be on board, if we look to bump up current 1.50% position to 3% around $76 level ? Thank You

Q: Hi there,

Thanks!

Q: Hi!

I am wondering if Peter can take some time to put together some words or a video about the Balanced Equity Portfolio and path forward here. We used to get regular commentary on the Portfolio via appearances on shows like Market Call but now we don't get that anymore due to the BNN change in their rules.

Can Peter walk through where he thinks things are headed, potential to find the next great multibagger stocks for the portfolio, view of the current holdings, etc.?

There's a number of solid long term companies in there. Do we ever see a point where they run their course and we sell them BEFORE they have problems and destroy a bunch of our value (thank god we trimmed some ATZ at $60 a little while ago!).

Thanks!

Q: Hi, Could you comment on ATD earnings. Thank You

Q: I can't see any news but there was certainly a pop to the stock today (28-Nov). Any insight as to what happened drove this?

Are you considering adding to the model portfolio at this time?
Thanks
Jeff
