Q: Good Morning,

In my (hopefully) high growth basket of stocks, I would like to do some consolidation. The partnership with TikTok is supposed to be beneficial for Sprout Social, but with the security concerns about TikTok in the recent news, do you think that Sprout will be significantly impacted? If so (or if you no longer like Sprout) in what order might you consider adding to the following: LNTH, APPS, ATZ, INTU, ATD for a 3-year hold? Thanks. Brad

Q: Wow, wild ride lately. I'm looking for some solid companies to tame things down in my portfolio. I would greatly appreciate it if you could recommend some companies that fit the following requirements:
1. Are reasonably valued.
2. Have a solid business model that have protective moats that shied them from competitive threats.
3. Generate strong cashflow and earnings even in a higher interest rate environment.
I'm interested in both Canadian and American companies. Thanks, as always for your support.

Q: Hi team,
ON holdings has gone parabolic lately, most recently on good earnings release. Is this move justified or is valuation sky high now for a fashion company? Would you prefer crox to this name or is there a compelling long term story here to ON? Could you also compare Atz to this name too? Atz looks like the cheapest name of the three mentioned with high growth as well. I rarely hear this name talked about. Your comments are appreciated . Thanks

I am having a hard time deciding which of these 3 names to add new funds to today. ATZ, ATS, and CROX. Of these 3 which would be your best bet if aiming for top potential returns over the course of the next say 3-5yrs? Could you please rank in order of buying preference here along with any comments on the potential of each name you wish to add? Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Any idea on why ATZ can't seem to catch a bid lately? Especially on a day like today...it's still down when other stocks in the sector are up today. I don't really understand where the weakness is coming from as everything in their last release and the future prospects looks points to the company firing on all cylinders so to speak. Should a person be looking at adding to a existing position here soon? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hi Atz will report within four weeks approximately. How many new stores have they opened since last report? Are there any new stores set to open before summer? What is your intuition as to surplus inventory reported last quarter? If one wants to invest would you advise waiting until they report? I know you favour the company and it’s share have fallen 20 percent since last report. Spring is almost here and new shoots are sprouting.
Thanks and good day

Q: What small to mid cap companies can you recommend that have been beaten up due to market conditions but have a high chance of success long term? Looking at a potential entry point this year with the prospect of beating out the returns of larger cap names that may be in a similar situation. Could you also give a brief thought on the risk/reward of this approach as well. Thanks very much.

Q: I have held TOY for a number of years while its done nothing and I am considering a switch to ATZ. Before I throw in the towel on TOY, I would like to check a few things with you:
1) what are the current and projected P/E's for each stock?
2) what are the projected growth rates for each stock?
3) I believe TOY has a rock solid balance sheet, do you have any concerns about ATZ's balance sheet and ability to weather a possible recession? If so, ewhat are the concerns?
4) On a scale of 1-10 what are the chances of each company still being around in 5-10 years?
5) which stock has better short term and which has better long term opportunites? 6) would you make the switch?

Thanks for everything!
