Q: I have a few questions re the upcoming Tesla Shareholder vote in June.
1. Do you have any thoughts re how the markets may react if Elon Mush does not get what he wants re his compensation package (in the short and long terms). My thoughts are that the price may drop quite a bit (in the short term) if he does not get what he wants; however, long term I feel that Tesla still has great potential. The reason I am confused with my (short term) logic is that if Elon does not get what he wants, it is the result of shareholders voting against it (so why would the price drop if that is what shareholders want – unless it could cause a sell off for those that wanted the package)?
2. If we feel that the price of shares will drop and wanted to insure our investment, I know that we can buy ”puts”; however, in one of your postings you mentioned that this was an expensive way to do so and that you were going to write something up. I am wondering if you could provide me the link (assuming you’ve had the time to do the writeup). If no writeup, can you provide a few words.

Thanks.

Q: Good morning,

Can we please get your take on Intuit's earnings, and why the large share price drop considering their beat and raise? Is there a risk that the IRS is creating their own tax return software that will kibosh TurboTax? Still a hold, sell or a buying opportunity?

Thanks.

Brad

Q: A couple of unrelated laggards...

Is ESTC a show me stock or would you be comfortable with a starter position as of today?

I own NXT but looking to add another position. Do you like SHLS? It is cheap if this solar move has legs. FSLR has moved far and fast. Would you buy into this or pick an alternative at this point?

thx, Mark

Q: Looking at BBY as a play on a pandemic-era refresh cycle on computers as well as the belief that recently announced AI-powered computers from Dell, Microsoft, and others accelerate this cycle. Expect AI integrations on other electronic devices as well, + juicy divvy to cushion through the turbulence as we wait. Thoughts?

Q: Hi,

Which sector you think is worth taking a position in at this point in time as a non correlated asset, IF and WHEN a correction takes place. Not about market timing for I know you don't believe in it! But more as part of portfolio tune up.

Gold/Metals/Utilities/Pvt equities/any other sector that interests you?

Q: Me thinks that spaceship that fearless leader Blaarg is piloting is actually an elaborate can of worms. In 10 years time, according to some environmentalists, we earthlings may be drowning in our own carbon-laced pollution, unless a better solution to or energy needs can be met. As a pessimistic Albertan, I suspect most of us will still be driving evil combustion engines in 2034; however, I am hopeful that there are some game changers in the energy horizon - maybe not Canadian - that may save the planet. Do you have any suggestions we can put on our watchlist? I'm waiting for 5i to beam me up !
