Q: This stock has experienced significant value decline over the past several years. Based on the most recent results and forecast, I’m becoming concerned about the long-term prospects for the company.
1) While I’m willing to hold through a downturn, I’m considering whether it makes sense to maintain my position or exit.
2) The company continues to increase its annual dividend and execute share buybacks. However, I question whether these actions meaningfully improve EPS compared to reducing debt. Is this a case of short-term investor appeasement, or would the market penalize a shift toward debt reduction?
Can I please get your thoughts on the company and the EPS question. Much appreciated.
Q: What do you think 1) of farmland as a long-term investment 2) of farmland as an inflation hedge, and 3) can you compare the two companies on growth, valuation, and other characteristics and what do you prefer?
(Please take more than one question credit if needed - thanks)

Following my SEPT 30th question and joining portfolio analytics I’ve embarked on my retooling. Following some of the great suggestions, still entering haha.
Q: This healthcare tech stock just reported earnings, and appears to have beat on all marks. Yet the stock has dropped significantly since reporting. Wondering if you could give me your analysis if this is a good opportunity to buy relative to other healthcare tech, given its valuation metrics, support and resistance, and current growth trajectory. Any other similar small cap names in healthcare like this intrigue you right now?
Q: hi folks, opinion on Q3 results for Cellebrite clbt/q....looks good across the board vs Q2 results...I see Needham upgraded Target from $22 to $24....all looks good with job new CEO doing??....5i see any red flags....thanks as always, jb
Q: There’s concern NBIS gets left without a seat when the music stops - said differently, they are stuck owning infrastructure that’s not needed once the AI boom starts to normalize. I know they have two other business units.. what’s your counter to the sell side? You mentioned below $100 is decent .. is today’s $93 better or do we have to consider other variables?
Q: Are you surprised by the post earnings decline? I know you advocate holding stocks for many years and while I agree that this is probably best but I worry about where this will find a bottom. I find it hard psychologically to hold stocks that fall 20%. (Note to self - remember this feeling before you buy a growth stock next time).
Q: My understanding is that the original company, Yandex, sold its Russian assets to a group of Russian investors in July 2024 and the renamed parent company, Nebius, retains the international assets of the original company. I'm not sure I fully understand what all this means. What exactly is the connection between Nebius and Yandex. Is there any connection to the group of Russian investors that bought the Russian assets. Do you have any concerns over the connection with the original company. As a parent company does Nebius have any liability over its ownership of the international assets of the original Yandex.
Thanks.
Q: I listened to an interview on BNN (link at end if you want to include it in post) in which a prominent analyst tore into the CRWV model. His take is that they are borrowing money to build data centres and that the return from those centres is half the cost of what they borrowed to build them. He further states that companies like GOOG and META are building their own capacity with cash on hand and taking advantage of Coreweave for cheap capacity. His thesis is bankruptcy within a few years.
My question (and it applies to NBIS too) is that you either agree or play devil's advocate to his thesis and explain why he is correct or incorrect. It's just one analyst and of course there are two sides to every trade but is there a clear path to creating strong returns on these data centre investments or are they in fact spending money just to lose money? If he is correct on CRWV, is NBIS different?
Thanks
Q: The above stocks make up 80.4% of my holdings. Goog and BN @7% each. The next 5 @ 4% each and the rest at or close to 3% each. For a 10 year horizon, with risk/reward in mind, where would you invest if you had 10% of the portfolio in dry powder- new cash. Any you would sell? Note, I have been trimming CLS, VRT and NBIS to control AI exposure.
Thanks again for all the insights - love the service you provide.
Q: I've been amused by the latest Tesla news in regard to the new pay for musk. Correct me if I'm wrong but the latest earnings for Tesla is around a 100 billion dollars. If the pay for musk goes into effect that would leave Tesla in a deficit of approximately 900 billion dollars. Now I know there is more to this than meets the eye, so could you please explain how Tesla intends to square this circle.
