Investment Q&A

Q: your comments on qipt earnings please.
thanks

Q: Could you please confirm the new reset dividend.
Thank you.

Q: Can you comment on Palantir's stock-based compensation levels. This seems to be growing at about 15% annually, and it was over a billion dollars last year, for a company whose revenue is just over $2 billion annually. Is this too high and will this impact earnings meaningfully over the next 5 years? Thanks.

Q: In a recent question concerning VFV held in a RRSP, you replied VFV is subject to Level 1 holding tax because it owns units in a US ETF. With regards to ZSP in a RRSP there is no Level 1 tax because ZSP holds individual US stocks & no US ETFs. Is this correct. Thanks … Cal

Q: How likely is it that NVDA will announced a stock split after releasing Q1 earnings next week?

Q: A further update on converting PDYPF "shares" to FLUT shares. Two weeks ago I asked BMO IL to journal my PDYPF shares to FLUT so I can sell them on the NYSE when I want. My son did the same at Questrade. His shares were converted in one day. I'm still waiting. I called today and essentially I was told that their computer set up cannot do this. Further more, PDYPF shares were CDIs, that is they are held by the CREST depository in the UK. OK that sent me back to re-read the notice 5i posted and section II #5 applies to CDIs which have been now converted to DIs (Depository Interests) which is essentially no change but Computershare holds them and sells them through CREST. Can you convert DIs to FLUT? The notice says YES but there is a charge by CREST. I guess this is the 1% "stamp tax" I was told about. I am now looking to transfer my shares to Questrade where it will be more visible and open. My son did not pay any "stamp tax" but maybe he will when he goes to sell the shares. Read the notice for more info here: https://www.flutter.com/media/kjyhh5da/updated-faqs-final-7-12-23.pdf

Q: I am up about 40% on GSY (thanks 5i). Weighting overall in the portfolio is still okay. At what point would you suggest trimming. Or in other words, where do you think it might be a year from now? Thanks.

Q: I read about "paying attention to valuation" but I don't understand how to arrive at a good "valuation" of a company.

Could you explain, in simple terms, and give an example of what would be a good [and a bad] valuation of an existing company's stock?

Could you use CAE or TIXT as an example of a good or bad valuation?

Thank you.

Q: Please comment on earning report. Why big drop ? Thanks a million.

Q: Hello Peter,
What is happening to Ivanhoe electric? It is on a downward trend. I am thinking of selling my toi, and lmn, to invest in CSU as everyday i see csu ticking higher. Does this strategy makes sense? Also, with nice dividend history of fortis, why is it still so low whereas hydro one seems to be ticking higher. thanks very much

Q: UBER has been a strong performer. Is LYFT next? Thoughts on the quarter and it's potential?

thx, M

Q: Beside exchange rates effects, is there any major difference in owning a CAD bitcoin etf like BTCC.B vs one of the newly minted US BTC etfs? I use GBTC as an example but if there's some you like better please mention.

Q: Are you still have a favourable view on this company?

Q: Please rank the above for a long term hold in a TSFA. Some comment on pluses and minuses for each would be welcome. Add any others that you feel are worth considering.
Thanks

Q: What is your opinion on Aspen Aerogels as a short term or long term investment? Also what entry price would you suggest?

Q: Is now a decent time to purchase VRT or should I wait for a potential pullback/consolidation? Are there other similar companies to VRT?
Thanks
