Q: Hi Peter, for NVEI the 34.00 US how is it calculated and when is it calculated. I have 60 shares so if I sell today I'll get what I get today at today's price but if I sell it the day it actually it goes private how much of a difference would there be. What exchange rate will be used. Thanks
Q: Hi group what's you top pick in the top 6 sectors.( In order of preference with some dialog on each pick). Is it time to go all in verses averaging down. Days like yesterday should shake loose so supers buys?
Also can you comment on risk (i am 74 yrs old) along with a few stocks or elf suggestions in Bitcoin / digital in general
Q: NVEI has extended until April 1st 2025 for holders to decide on options for the buyout. This means that the privatization would have taken about a year from the announcement in March 2024. It looks stretched. Could there be hurdles we are not seeing, financing for example? Or the structure of the company makes it difficult? Just curious ..Thanks a lot.
Q: Does this selloff in tech concern you at all to take down the broader market? Seeing big down moves lately in tech, such as SHOP, GOOGL, NVDA, SMCI, VRT, etc... Tech is my largest weighting for sector, should we be repositioning at all or how would you approach this to maintain profits. I've had a very good run, but hate take the stairs up and then seeing the elevator go down fast. Thanks!
Q: Could you please comment on the earnings release and stock's valuation. Do you think market will take notice of the solid results and guidance, in light of the negative sentiment for a couple of days, surrounding AI related companies ?
Q: CSU stock continues to power upwards and everybody seems to love it. This raises the possibility that it is, or will become, overbought. Can you suggest a sell-point and some metrics for determining when my csu holding should be lightened? If lightening, would you do this before or after Q2 report on Aug 7?
Q: Constellation Software has impressively continued to climb to new 52 week highs. Topicus and Lumine have been pretty stagnant lately. Do you expect some share price action from Topicus and Lumine in the next 6 months?
Q: You seem somewhat concerned by the low level of cash for Luimine in the recent report and how under capitalized the business is. This along with the high EV/EBITA ratio. So we be concerned?
Q: What is you opinion on STC update release today? It implies revenue growth is returning for fiscal 2025 (as of July 1) and very low debt leverage less than 1.5 X EBITDA by yearend. Currently trading less than 1x revenues with big free cash flow, it seems like a good buy as new Management continues to execute its turnaround.
I know from your answers that you like VRT. I am down by about 8%. Not too worried. Willing to hold on to this.
The question is two fold:
1. I look at Finviz screener (freebie version!) and the Debt: Equity ratio and LT Debt is high? 2.25 it says. What does it mean? Indicates risk?
2. Worth adding to VRT as it has pulled back or do you think there is more downside drift to come given the sector rotation is now firmly in place?
3. Offers a decent premium and to my earlier question sometime ago you had recommended this as a candidate for writing call options. Do you still hold that view?
