Q: Hi Guys,

Really like your recent blog post "These are the stocks you should hold on to....". I wonder where we would be able to find these metrics mentioned in the article for a stock, especially growth rate, profit margin, and sales growth rate.

Also, what is happening for "APPS", the share price is just dropping day by day event on days that general markets are up. I have a small position about 1% of my portfolio, currently underwater, should I add more, hold on or sell?

Thanks

Q: Does the Brookfield offer for IPL include an option to only receive .225 of a BIPC share, instead of a mixture of shares and cash. I got lost in the fine print when they started talking about pro-ration and market value of the incremental 8 million BIPC shares.

Q: When researching investing strategies there is a lot of talk about investment discipline. Would you mind sharing yours? Specifically on your expensive and successful pics (ex: lsp,shop,etc) And if, as a group you each have different ones, maybe you could give a couple. For instance, do you use or like the idea of trailing stops or is it simply adhering to 20 stock 5% weightings and letting some run hot occasionally before paring them back.
Thx

Q: Your opinion please on recent IPO cell therapy company, Century Therapeutics and most especially any comments on their most interesting takeover of small private Canadian company Empirica which was purchased last June. I understand that the former Empirica (U of T & McMaster talent) takeover involved in innovative brain cell molecular identification was a big lever to go public .

Thanks for all your wisdom,
