Q: Good afternoon, Just wondering if your conviction for Elastic N.V. is still as high as it was several weeks ago? Since the drop following the recent earnings report, ESTC hasn't really participated much in any of the tech rallies. I'm down about 11% and wondering if I should be patient, or consider selling and adding to other high conviction picks already owned, such as NXT, VRT or AXON? Thanks. Brad

Q: I have a small amount invested with wealthsimple and they are asking me if I would like to participate in their stock lending. I can earn passive income if any of my stocks are loaned out.
Do you see any problem with doing this?
I don’t really understand how you can make money doing this but am willing to do it if basically risk free.
Thank you for any input

Q: According to Yahoo Finance, the “short % of float” is 39.9%, while the “short % of shares outstanding” is 16.55%. I also noticed that the number of shares short has INCREASED from 36.4M (January 2024) to 38.5M (February 2024).
1) Which short % metric is more relevant - percentage of float or percentage of shares outstanding?
2) Do these figures align with your other sources of information? (Sometimes free sites are unreliable)
3) With the stock up significantly, could there be a massive short squeeze on this?

Q: I have held these companies for some time but I am getting impatient. The three year return for BIP is approximately negative 10% while the three year return for BEP is approximately negative 40%. These stocks as you well know are part of the Brookfield family and are generally highly recommended. Do you see a positive future or is it time to get out . Your comments would be appreciated. Thank You.
