Q: What can you comment about the impact on NFI of Lion Electric's latest news?
From my preliminary research, it appears Lion is not public and no details are available about it's financial position/results to date, although the move to New York via NGA Corp looks to position it as a ~$1.9 billion market cap (vs ~$1.2 billion for NFI).
It appears that Lion does not actually sell anything yet? (they're taking "pre-orders"), supposedly has capacity to build ~6,500 units per year (vs ~2,500 for NFI).
Any news or thoughts about their announced plans to build electric delivery vehicles for Amazon fit with Amazon's announced "plans" to purchase 100,000 electric delivery vehicles from Rivian/Ford?

Q: Hi. Am I right to think that the option of switching to the floating rate series 45 is not a good deal since with the current pref there is the minimum yield and the possibility of a higher yield if rates rise in 5 years? Is it likely to be forced to convert to series 45 in your opinion? Thank you.

Q: Hi I am a holder of CVS. Within the past few weeks the price has risen sharply from mid-60.00 to 72.00 range on 2 occasions. First time was on vaccine news but dropped sharply a few days later on Amazon announcement of online drug sales. Within the past week it’s back today at 72.52. Are there underlying fundamentals to take it higher, and/or do you think their “full service” health service model will be involved with the vaccine rollout and administration and hence share price continue to move higher? Thanks

Q: This question is about valuations and growth. How do you determine when a valuation is too high? To me it seems extremely hard to me.

I've owed KXS since $80 (thank you btw) and still have most of my position at the current price, but isn't the valuation like 150X earnings and 20x fwd sales or something?

Same with PLTR: my cost base is $22/share, and it seems like it has tremendous growth prospects... but a really high valuation (what is the fwd valuation btw?).

At what point would you sell (KXS and PLTR for example) just on valuation alone even with amazing growth?

Sorry if this is poorly worded... but I think you get the idea of what i am trying to say.

Q: I am really liking my initial impressions of Marten Transport (MRTN). It's relative lack of correlation to my current pipeline, bank and insurance company-centric portfolio plus its dividend (admittedly American...) make it attractive. What is your perception of MRTN? Do you see equivalent quality growth and dividend prospects among Canadian transport stocks?

Q: Active vs passive investing over next 12 months. I had shifted much of my USA and International exposure to low cost ETFs. With most mutual funds in that class at the time having MERs>2.0% and rising tides making it hard for them to outperform their fees. The landscape in Canada has improved for mutual funds with many companies releasing new lower MER funds or significantly dropping them on exisiting funds. With the bar for otuperforming their MER much lower now do you consider the lower fee active funds a better choice in these more volatile times? I am holding some cash and need to decide is I put it in ETFs to hit the average or pay for more active management in some well managed global and USA funds.

Q: I believe Regis could be the ultimate Covid recovery stock in some respects; however, do you perceive that they have sufficient financial strength to take full advantage? Do you see other non-airline firms best positioned for a true Covid recovery?
