Investment Q&A

Q: please comment on the Q4 and year end. This quote from CEO, is it just hype or is this company ready to start increasing customers and revenues? Also does the insiders and institutional share holders tell us anything?
"Though financial performance in FY22 was below our expectations, I am confident in the platform we have created for growth in FY23" said John Proctor, President and CEO of Martello. "The end of the 2022 fiscal year marked an inflection point for Martello towards an absolute focus on becoming a Microsoft Modern Workplace optimization leader. In FY22 we built the product, sales channels and go-to-market strategy to address this market, one which has greater potential than anything Martello has ever done. We are seeing early indicators of momentum around the Vantage DX solution just a few months after launching.

Q: It appears that pre-1984 the P/E ratio of the S&P 500 could go below 10 at times (not clear on what measure -looks like trailing earnings), apparently in recessions. But since then, no sub-10's. Is there a reason we may now be in to a new era of P/E norms ie well above 10 and if so for what reasons? If we were to go down there now that would be pushing a 35-50% drop from here, depending on what P/E measure ( and much further if earnings are adjusted down). Also, Josh Brown (CNBC) pointed out this 9-range P/E ratio in recessionary times as in if we get a recession look out below--any comment on his comments?

Q: Hi Team,
Have you had a chance to look into GSY's deal with Canada Drives? It seems like a good move to me by the company. How successful is "Canada drives" with sales? I have never heard of them until now but apparantly they are Canadas largest online car sales platform.The stock didn't seem to get any big love from the announcement. On another note...GSY continues to amaze me how this company is not worth so much more. P/e shows 10.6 on my platform, growth has been solid and proven for many years now and the loan book growth is now going parabolic the last year or 2 as it reaches scale it seems. Dividend growth has been stellar. Yet...I rarely hear it talked about by analysts on bnn or elsewhere. Do you feel it is still relatively "unknown?" Or is the company just being given a cold shoulder by many that view it as a predatory lender? To me the company checks all the boxes a person should be looking for, especially in the inflation environment when it comes to valuation and dividend growth, earnings growth. People can say what they want about recession scares with this name, but they have been there and done that have they not? 2020 they proved their business is resiliant. Your comments on all this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Shane.

Q: Would you be a buyer of US Banks now or would you wait for potentially lower prices? I have a small position in RUBY which I'd like to increase but it is down 26% from my original purchase price but I am not sure how US Banks are expected to perform in this market and facing a possible recession.

Q: What your opinion of PID at these levels? Would you add to a position here? Good dividend but a horrible looking long term 10 year chart. Thanks Ron

Q: What do you think about ASAN at these levels and valuation re-rating in the tech arena ! I am wondering if it will have a big bounce on any upcoming recovery, even if a brief bear market rally....to exit my final portion, or to keep for longer term growth recovery? Thx !
