Q: This was on my radar a few years ago and just returned to look at it. What happened? Pretty fantastic revenue growth (especially this year) but EPS and free cash flow plummeted in to negative territory. Is this just bad management of personnel or inventory, or?

I see this could be a great opportunity, but the recent bumps concern me.

Q: I’m selling Appian (APPN) and Fulgent Genetics (FLGT) for a tax loss and am wondering what suitable proxies would be. Or would you recommend just selling, and buying something more promising? (I’m not limited by sector here.) I have more confidence in Appian than in Fulgent. Is that appropriate in your opinion?

Q: Further to Terry’s question today about celh, can you please comment on what makes this name a stand out? Financials seem to show “popping” earnings growth so I get that as one thing to like.

Q: Hi,
Some months ago I had asked about non correlated assets and you mentioned Private Equity as an option and chose these stocks. (Also your perennial favourite BN!) I have half a position in BN and plan to add more soon.

Among the 3 (BX/KKR,BLK) which two are your favourite and why? Or you can rank order them from the best to your least favorite.

Q: I hold both BX and BN at almost full positions. I am considering selling BX to purchase WPC to increase my dividend income and hopefully benefit from rising property prices. Are BX and BN similar enough that this strategy makes sense or would I be just as well off staying the course?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hello Folks:
Currently we own solid positions in CIC.TO AND MFC-PK.TO and interested in both MAERSK and USA because of dividends (Maersk 19.24% and USA 9.98%).
What is your opinion of these companies, security of their dividends, growth etc. Maersk is one of the world's premier shipping companies although one questions sustainability of such a rich dividend.
All The Best
