Q: When does TVK report their results and what is expected? The stock has run up quite a lot already this year and while most of the business growth comes from M&A (minimal organic growth) is there still room to strengthen a position or should is it better to wait for a pull back?
Q: I have some SHLE and I'm thinking of adding to it, despite its recent run up. It seems quite cheap and substantial gains in profits are expected in 2005. Its taking a hit today, presumable because of Trumps announcement of a 25% tariff on all things from Canada. Yet, Most of Source's business is in western canada. But they do have a site in midland texas too, so i wonder if: a) there is much exposure from sales to/in the US and b) would having a site in the US shield the whole company from tariffs?
You said in response to a recent question on SHLE that you expect profits to more than double in 2025. Does that estimate change if tariffs are in fact enacted?
Q: There was a recent very good Q&A asked by Dan that I can no longer find. He had requested a list of (7) quality companies in the $5B market cap range. I recall WELL, GSY and TVK as part of that group....can't remember the others.
I was hoping that you could find that list and rank them by:
Q: Since the last question on PTK, it seems to go up and up. Has anything changed? Has 5is opinion changed?
They won "Best in Artificial intelligence" in the "Global Tech Awards". Does this mean anything? Looking at the judges for this organization, there does appear to be some people with some clout in there, but scrutinizing it a bit it seems to be very much marketing focused, and with 86 categories and 200 companies, not the broadest competition.
It looks like it spikes every couplefew months, followed by up to 20% retreat, and spikes again. I almost feel like swing trading this or something.
With your recent small cap likes, PNG, MDA, ZDC, and BRM, Would you please Rank them from best to worst with a solid entry price (I know you said MDA is good right now), expected growth for 2025, whether they're profitable (yes, no, or close), and a score of 1 - 10. (1 being moonshot, 10 Solid buy). IE {NVDA, profitable X%, 10} sort of thing.
All of these scores exclude the normal smallcap risks etc (i understand that MDA is considerably larger, and is primarily in here for comparison purposes)
Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have held this stock for too long...if you know what I mean! Ha!Ha! The good news is that I am now even and thinking about selling. However some analysts have a 100% up side forecast which I know is only a forecast. Please...I appreciate your objective opinion. Sell because there are better opportunities...or it is worth waiting another quarter two?
Thanks as always!
Q: This company has run up quite a bit with a very strong RSI rating >80 so would it be wiser to wait for a pull back or buy a small portion here? Hard to answer as I know timing can't be perfect.
Lots of tailwinds for the 'security' sector and ability to use onsite cameras to do other things (eg manage project status updates, onsite manpower etc) so do you consider this a buy? What risks do you foresee in its business model as I realise small cap sizing and YTD large gains can be potential headwinds.
Q: This caught my eye today, up 8% and apparently with a cash position of about 1.2B, and more in cash than market value of about 500m?! New plant starting up soon…
I don’t even know how Kodak is still around… is this worth a higher risk play?
It seems like your current view, including from your monthly commentary, is that small and mid caps are continuing to look attractive and the forward returns are historically attractive after past US elections. With this in mind, something I struggle with is a large proportion of my portfolio is in large cap stocks, including 10% of my portfolio in NVDA. A lot of this is due to the strength in large caps since 2022 and my bias has been to continue to hold them at a higher percentage as they have provided strong returns over the past few years. Although, these large caps, including NVDA continue to grow and execute my feeling is that I should trim stocks like NVDA down to 5% and use those excess proceeds to invest further funds into small and mid caps to potentially capitalize on the large gap in valuations between small and mid caps and other tailwinds like declining interest rates. For a growth investor with 20+ years of investment horizon would you recommend going the route of trimming NVDA and other large cap winners to a 5% portfolio weight and re-allocate into small and mid caps?
