Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Can you please go over the metrics for this company. I understand that Chilili's (what % of revenue/earnings does it provide?) has become the favorite restaurant for gen Z and is driving its growth to over 20% thus the meteoric rise in the share price. The PE is 34 is it sustainable, do prospective earnings justify it? Is it a buy, sell ,or hold?

Q: Hi 5i,

Considering taking a long term position in LMT but I am holding back due to potential US government cuts to defense spending.

I could see a scenario where Elon Musk/Trump administration would potentially cut back the costs of LMT's F-35 program in order to reach the administration's goal of cutting a trillion dollars in government spending. (Replace with Tesla Drones?).

F-35 program represents approx. 30% of LMT revenue. If this were the case what would this do to the share price? or is this already "baked in" to some degree?

Thank you,

Greg C.

Q: I am a bit confused why a company with about 25% of its current market cap (40+ million USD cash as per last quarter report) sitting in cash on the balance sheet - with no debt - would raise 10% more equity (just 20 million cad) at a 10% discount to its current price which is already quite cheap… I am scratching my head… I really like this stock/company but now I am questioning management haha. Am I wrong? Thanks

Q: Sorry for another NVDA question.
I''ve trimmed it several times as it went up in the past and was waiting for it to reach 10% to trim again. It was 9.5% of my portfolio and now 8% after the deep seek news.
Understanding that portfolio weights are personal to each person, if it was YOUR portfolio what weight would YOU be comfortable today holding NVDA?
Thanks

Q: I am looking at industrials that will do well in the USA in the initial Trump period. I see you often recommend TT, but it is down where it was last September, which appears to mean negative momentum, which, you usually steer away from. Do you see strong upside for TT in the next couple of years, and would it be your choice, or one of your picks for this goal? Would you pick it over FIX? Is there anything in the Deep Seek revelations that would negatively affect either holding? Are there other holdings you would recommend, and would you choose more than one, and would you wait a bit for the markets to settle? Thanks!

Q: Do you prefer CRM or NOW. It seems CRM is down in sympathy with NOW results. Were they really that bad? CRM trailing PE is almost 30 but NOW is much higher I believe. I have sold half my NVDA with the idea to move it into the next phase of AI adoption, software. Am thinking one of these and perhaps PLTR. You have much posted on it, any information you could add regarding buying it, would be helpful. Any other software companies you would consider? Thank you so much.

Q: I'm looking for a stable long term hold with some growth and a generous dividend to complement my Enbridge holding? These are all US holdings, do I have to worry about special withholding taxes? Are they suitable for RRSP's?
