Investment Q&A

Q: Attention turned to industrials earlier this year and many have already done well. Is it a late to buy 3M ? If no, do you believe 3M to be a good investment assuming we are going to see a healthy recovery in major developed economies. In particular:
1. Do you think there is a high probability of further US$ weakness or is that mostly done now? If the US$ weakens further, would I be correct in thinking that that in itself would make little impact on 3M’s prospects, given that 3M has global facilities?
2. Would you consider 3M to be fairly priced today? I cannot tell if it is GARP or overvalued. (The Dr Dooms are getting to me).
3. Have the most recent quarters been meaningfully good for 3M sales due to Covid ( ventilators, medical supplies?) Or do you believe 3M still has great sales prospects going forward or are comparisons going forward going to depress share price?
4. What is 3M’s PEG ? I see conflicting numbers.
5. I thought 3M had a good MOAT , a business model that is hard to replicate EASILY. Am I correct?
6. Any reason to wonder about management strength?

(Disclosure : I am biased in favor of 3M for reasons that I myself find unfathomable)

Q: Hi team,

I'm interested in adding two defense companies to my holdings, for a 3-5 year period (perhaps longer) and I'm interested to know which companies you would recommend considering?
The companies that I'm looking at right now include LMT, NOC, RTX, GM, BA, HON. Are there other companies I should also be looking at?
Could you please rank the listed companies in order of preference?

Thank you for all that you do!

Q: Hi Team,
I was looking at trimming 1/3 of my CRM (as its only down 0.5% today) to raise funds to add to PINS (-9% as of time of writing on no news). Would this make sense long term? Do you see CRM or PINS having more upside in the next few years? Thanks
Shane.

Q: Peter; Your crystal ball was working last week when you replied to a COIN question re waiting to see how it reacts if Bitcoin falls 15%. So it has now - wouldn’t COIN benefit with increased trading - sort of like VISA - a needed portal and makes money either way ? Thanks.Rod

Q: With more and more US states moving to legalize marijuana I feel it is just a matter of time before that is done at the federal level. I have a large position in these 3 names. I assume they will shift from big tobacco to big marijuana once it is legalized. I think there is big growth potential here. Would you agree with that assessment? Would there be something that could stop this from happening ie government not allowing these big players to dominate that industry?

Q: Greetings. This company is in the same industry as Zoetis I'm told but is cheaper on valuation and obviously lessor known. You haven't been asked about this one so could you provide any thoughts you might have on it including whether you would recommend a position in it and your view of holding it versus a position in Zoetis. Mucho gracias! Ken

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you have any details on the private investment that withdraws their equity offering; in terms of equity and debt? I do have a full position in Gamesys and am wondering if I should add some BALY for good measure.
As usual your thoughts are appreciated.
