Investment Q&A

Q: Do you have a preference between AEP and DUK? My objective is to add some stability and balance to an otherwise aggressive portfolio. I looked at FTS and EMA, but I have limited understanding of the Canadian market. If you believe a Canadian utility offers better growth potential, I would appreciate your insight and any suggestions you may have, given this objective. (Canadian taxpayer; this is for a tax-deferred acc).

Q: CATX I couldn't find this in your database and would love your analysis of this small cap American company in Seattle?

Q: What are your thoughts of factor investing for this ETF ?

Q: Do you have any information on the impact Nvidia's share repurchases are making on the float or the comany's PE? Have they cancelled a significant % of shares? Is repurchase accelerating in any visible way with the current "pause" in share price increase? Thanks!

Q: I understand there has been some type of study which shows people who have taken the Shingles vaccine are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s like diseases. The scientific community seems not to know why this is so. There are a lot of unknowns on this study to say the least. Do you know any first rate Pharma companies that are leaders in the development and manufacturing the Shingles vaccines? I know there are a number of Shingles vaccines out in the marketplace, probably made by different companies. Does Bloomberg have anything to say on the subject? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Thank you for recommending GENI. Today it move up 12% plus. Is there any reason for high move and volume also higher.

Srad also move up 5%. Which one would you recommend that I add more.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Trex has declined significantly since March of 2024. I had purchased some stock just before the precipitous decline at the beginning of November this year and am now down about 50% on 1/2 a position.

This creates a question; is the stock now dead money until the US consumer economy sorts itself out (which I think is a few years away at least), or is this a buying opportunity today to fill the remainder of a position and wait it out?

Trex is a leader in its' market, yet requires new home and renovation build out to successful. The precipitous drop has now brought it to analysts attention as they try to resolve questions similar to my own.

Would you be a buyer, and if so with what time frame in mind, or would you sell and come back to it in a few years?

Thanks as always, and best of the season to you all!

Q: NDVA's price as of today $181.46
NCDA's fair value given by Morningstar $191.38
Given NVDA's incredible run in the past few years, I have a hard time wrapping my brain about the idea that NVDA is actually "cheaper" than its fair value.
Would you add to NVDA at this point?
I have a significant position in NVDA already so I am very invested.

Q: Hello, can you comment on their latest earnings? Thanks

Q: Hi... Could you review SPOT's last earnings? And your thoughts on the stock's recent decline? It's still expensive; is the growth still there to justify it? At what point what would you feel comfortable stepping in?

Q: I currently own MSFT and GOOG . MSFT is at a loss((down 20%) in a Registered Acct and I am reviewing switching to GOOG or AMZN for better returns. I am currently 10% of portfolio in on GOOG so am pondering the switch to GOOG. Do you think a bounce is expected with share price of MSFT in the next 6-12 months is possible?

Q: Iren announced a Proposed Offering of Ordinary Shares to Fund the Repurchase of Convertible Notes on Dec 1 after close. Is this good or bad? What could be the reasoning from both sides of the deal? Would it change a long term view or short term buy/sell/hold? Thanks
