Q: I bought some shares in Honeywell back in January and I have noticed recently 2 new stocks that have appeared in my investment account: GTX (Garret Motion) and REZI (Resideo Technologies) which apparently are spin-offs from HON. Are you able to provide any comments on these 2 new companies? I'm inclined to just sell them (small number of shares). Thanks.

Q: I would appreciate your insight on GEI vs ENB. How do the pay out ratios/debt compare, the sustainabiltiy of the dividend and the ability of increasing the dividend? Which one would have a better growth? Would you prefer holding just one or would both be okay as well for added diversification?
Q: Hello team,
Is it worth paying 80 times the earning for TTWO. Their Redemption II game seem to getting a lot of attention from reviewers and I thought it might be a good time to pick up some shares in this market downturn. Given their balance sheet would you choose them or would you prefer something else in this arena.
Have a wonderful week and thanks as always!

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,
The company I work for recently brought in a speaker, Salim Ismail from Singularity University, to talk about 'exponential organizations'. The basic premise was to discuss the speed of innovation and disruption that's occurring today. The improvements in various technology is doubling every year. I can't help but wonder if I need to rethink some of the companies I've invested in (from your portfolios).
For example, he gives the example of the drive train in a combustion car having about 2000 moving parts, while a Tesla has 17. There's a small company in the US called Local Motors that has a car with only has 50 parts total and takes 1 man hour to assemble, compared to the average combustion car that has 25,000 parts and takes 1000 man hours to assemble. What does this mean for a company like Magna? Also, with so few parts, there won't be a need for car maintenance. The use of autonomous cars, which should result in less accidents - how does this affect Boyd? EV's in China are also doubling every year, now at 5%. It doesn't take long before it becomes a very significant portion of the market.
Another example is the energy sector. The price performance of solar energy has also been doubling every 2 years for the past 40 years. At this pace, the world supply of energy could be met in just 13 years. The costs of solar (unsubsidized) has been dropping and is now cheaper than all other forms in the US. Obvious question is where does that leave the energy and pipeline companies? Maybe we should be more focused on solar panel makers and solar energy storage. Again, the shift from combustion to electrical vehicles comes into play here as well.
If a company isn't going to be a disruptor (like Tesla, Google, Uber, Amazon), they at least need to be flexible and adaptable. is this a key metric when you grade a company?
I'm interested in your thoughts.
Thanks

Q: I own GIB and have for several years. I'm thinking of selling some or all my position in GIB and purchasing OPTEX.
My reasoning is that although GIB may not be fully valued, its had a good run, OPTEX on the other hand may have more upside longer term.
Appreciate your feedback

Q: I am writing to following up on some of your recent comments regarding this stock after the release of the Spruce Point report. To what extent are you concerned with accounting irregularities regarding Dol's opaque arrangement with Dollar City? Could Dol be using sales to Dollar City as a way of hiding loses or artificially inflating the books? Are you also concerned with the patent infringement lawsuits, including the one mentioned about the pencils that have been sold since 2002? How do you react to the allegations that the market is saturated and may face increasing competition from Amazon and hence, Dol does not deserve it's lofty valuation? Thank you.
