Q: May I have your thoughts on SNPS and their acquisition of ANSYS? Since some shares are being issued to finance the purchase should I wait to see if the stock declines before taking the plunge? The market seems to like the purchase as SNPS's shares went up instead of declining when the deal was announced. The stock price was fairly steady until 2016 when it began a steep climb up, what changed? Or was it us, the buyers, whose attitude to their business changed? Is their business model very similar to NVDA or in a different niche?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: I have read most of the recent Q&A on CSU, TOI AND LMN. I understand that they operate in different jurisdictions, have like minded management teams and are majority controlled by CSU. What I don’t understand is why the market loves CSU and LMN and doesn’t have that same love forTOI. What am I missing? Also, what is the probability that the recent run up in LMN stock price mimics the early run that TOI had, and then drops back and stays lower for several years.

Thanks

Q: Robotics were a big part of the latest CES show in Las Vegas.

I would like to know what your best investment ideas to play this secular trend. I believe with the increased cost of labour this trend will only accelerate.
I am looking for your best stocks or ETF ideas to put in an RRSP to profit from this assumption.

Thanks for all your ideas and insights.
