Q: Hi, I asked a question about HEQT.US (Simplify Hedged Equity ETF) but I think the answer referred to HEQT.TO. I am interested in what you think about this ETF with the following description : The Simplify Hedged Equity ETF (HEQT) seeks to provide capital appreciation by offering US large cap exposure while investing in a series of put-spread collars designed to help reduce volatility.

How would you rate its performance, especially if we assume a sideways to down year? Thanks!

Q: These two (especially SERV) are tanking this A.M, presumably because of the news that NVDA has dissolved their position in both. My initial thoughts are that this changes nothing of substance for the company (SERV) itself, and especially that it still has its deal with UBER. Of course substance and sentiment are separate animals. In general how does one play this? Do you wait a few days and see what transpires, buy more? Sell? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Cellebrite stock sank 13% in Thursday trading, post earnings release and closed at its low for the day, on higher than average volume. As of 5.30 PM, stock continues to drift lower in after market.

As per your comments, earnings/guidance was, as expected and nothing really has changed. In your view, this drop could just be profit taking, after its 34% rise over last 3 months.

I find the price action today a little concerning, as if, market had high expectations and company did not deliver that, specially considering the hot digital forensics area, they operate in.

This is a favorite 5i stock and has been recommended for nearly a year, when price was around $19 ( I think ). There should be many 5i members, who follow your lead ( myself included ) and have been generously rewarded, over time ( Thank You !! ).
US small caps, however, are not well followed by Canadian analysts and we depend much on expertise of your team.

It would be really helpful, if you could take a deep dive and comment, if there could be any other factors ( competition, growth rate, order book etc ) which might have contributed the post-earning drop.

Also, do you consider this weakness temporary and with this sharp pullback, would you be comfortable to start a new position or add to existing ownership.

Thank You

Q: Completely ignoring CELH's past - just looking forward - how attractive is this company's present valuation? I'm trying to gauge it based on its long term forecasted growth (i.e. present P/E and P/S). Can you comment on PEG? How do these metrics, and any other, compare to a typical company with a similar market cap and projected growth?

Q: Is GLPI a reasonably good addition to the less aggressive side of a portfolio? GLPI was added to RBC’s Global Top 30 Ideas for 4Q2024 (updated last October). It remains on RBC’s top 30 ideas for 1Q2025 (updated January 6). If GLPI would not qualify as one of your own best ideas, which companies would 5i think of as better ideas for someone with no exposure to real estate? (For a deferred tax account; Canadian taxpayer) :sab:
