Q: In June this year you named this company as one of your favorite cyclicals. I didn't buy it but it has dropped significantly since then. I am considering buying it now as it looks like EPS has exceeded expectations for at least the last 4 Q's. Would you still consider it a buy or have fundamentals changed? Thank you. John
Q: Hi,
I'm wondering if you're able to ascertain why CVLT dropped so hard this morning? I haven't found anything - and am wondering if I should just cut my losses quickly on this one. Your thoughts are always appreciated!

Building a value stock portfolio for both long term and shorter term results (Santa Clause Rally) and looking for potential stocks that could be described as "under valued" and can be classified as recession defensive as well in both Canada and the US. Was wondering if you could list 5 picks from both Canada and the US?
Q: What is your opinion on TPL . Significant recent insider buying but trading at a very high multiple. Also in your opinion is there a glut of oil supply for next year or two especially with a good chance of the US and China's economy slowing. Thanks as always for your great work.
Q: APPF recently received a downgrade due to concerns about future growth that led to continued decrease in price. Interested in hearing your current perspective on APPF. Is their software and services something that is needed by the real estate industry? What are the current practices and options other than APPF products? What is the potential for expansion for APPF within the industry?
Q: I own the depository receipt for nvidia corp. to get around the problem of currency exchange rates. Is this a good way to own large American companies? how liquid are they when I want to sell?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide a summary of the fundamentals for IES Holdings including cash on hand, free cash flow and a measure of its profitability. Could you also provide its growth potential over the next 3 to 5 years and if possible indicate the ratio of organic growth to growth by acquisition. Also what are the insider holdings and has there been any significant buying or selling over the past few months. Is this a company that could benefit substantially from the dramatic increase of data centres needed for AI purposes.
Thanks.
Q: On Sept 19 I asked the maximum weight YOU would be comfortable holding VRT and you answered 3.5%. Today you responded to Maureen with 5% weight.
What changed in the last 3-4 weeks for you to be more comfortable with a higher weight in VRT now?
Thanks
Q: Hello, is Eli Lilly a buy at these levels? If so, why? If not, what might be a good entry point? Morningstar has a glowing report on LLY but ranks it 1 * only because the stock price is way over their fair valuation (has been for a long time). What to make of this? Thanks!
