Q: In the past I have not been a buy and hold investor in commodities. I try to purchase cyclical stocks when they are out of favour and sell when I have made some money with the thought that they will eventually be "on sale" again in the future to buy back in. I have been patient and have held CS, Teck,B, HBM and LUN for a few years and have done really well on them all, especially recently. Is it time to cash in and be thankful for the gains or is the underlying demand for copper (and other materials) strong enough to continue this outperformance. Hold, Sell or buy more? Curious what you would be doing in this case.

Second question - Flutter took a hit because of investor concerns over competition from the prediction market platform Kalshi. Is this a serious threat to Flutter or is the market big enough for all? Are you still as bullish on FLUT as you used to be? Stock has teased us with some nice runs up but seems to fall back.

Thanks for all you do, couldn't be happier.

Q: I've been a holder of Copart for 2 years years and I'm down on my investment with negative momentum really escalating this year. I use to love the duopoly they operate in and their business model, but I recall reading they're only projecting mid single digit revenue growth continuing through 2026. I know they're sitting on a cash surplus that can be deployed and I know 5i still likes this stock as per your recent "best idea stock selection", but I'm starting to question it's 5 year growth rate going forward as momentum can be hard to reverse. It's hard to watch this multiple continue dropping while other areas of the market (AI, datacentres) are seeing visible growth and capital. Do you see this company going back to outperforming the market over the next 5-10 yrs or are it's best growth days well behind it? Thx

Q: Trying to understand the rationale of SBUX closing down locations. I may have it wrong but here goes. On the assumption that locations are franchises, then why close them down? It's the owner of the individual location that might be losing money but they are still buying product from Starbucks and contributing to their top line. Question is: are locations owned directly by Starbucks? If so, then closing down is the route to go.

Q: Given its astronomic valuation, what kind of future you anticipate for a stock like this during a one year period around (from here to end of 2026) let's say? what would you say to those who persist to keep it in spite of the financial logic?

Thank you very much in advance for your sound judgement always appreciated.

Q: Similar question for both these stocks that you have liked or still like. Both have pulled back after making strong gains. Is there still momentum? How were the last qtrs? Should one buy the dip and get a fuller position in either of these or just hold?

Q: Hi Peter…QS and GLW announced yesterday an agreement for the development and commercialization of ceramic separators presumably for QS’s batteries. There were no details. I think this is another positive step for QS and also for GLW too. No financial details were provided in the press release. Does Bloomberg have any information on the joint venture? Any change in QS’s short interest? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Incidentally Jim Cramer appears to be quite bullish on GLW generally. I suppose if your company might just be making parts for an improved EV automotive battery that would be a positive. “Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door”!
Thanks,
Jim

Q: I have been a shareholder of the trade desk for many years and still have 123% gains.. I am questioning. what should I do with this company? I wonder if the future is still good. What would you do? Would you hold or sell? If you sell, you have a better investment you would put the money at work for the next five years. thanks a lot.
