Investment Q&A

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

Q: Earlier you answered a question about Crox vs BYD, and you mentioned the valuations were 8x vs 44x. Just curious what metric you are using there (P/E?), and what is the most commonly accepted metric when discussing the high level valuation of a company and if its cheap or expensive? Thx

Q: I hold the 3 following positions : SHOP (3%), LSPD (1.5%) with a 30%loss and NVEI (1%) with a 65% loss.
I want to clean a bit my portfolio, and clear at least one of NVEI or LSPD.
In which one would you prefer to consolidate? Would you even consider consolidate all in Shop or there’s a good case for keeping NVEI or LSPD?

Thank you!

Q: I currently have a loss position in NTR and am looking at selling to crystallize. While I may not execute this until after the year end to see if there is a January bounce can you recommend a replacement to buy and hold for 30 days and then rebuy NTR.

Q: I’m selling Appian (APPN) and Fulgent Genetics (FLGT) for a tax loss and am wondering what suitable proxies would be. Or would you recommend just selling, and buying something more promising? (I’m not limited by sector here.) I have more confidence in Appian than in Fulgent. Is that appropriate in your opinion?

Can you please provide you opinion regarding a bull market..
Thanks in advance

Q: I have cash to invest, mostly into ETFs and as a value investor the P/E of the S&P 500 is a stumbling block for me: 23% for IVV vs about 15% for XIU - so about 50% more. XEF has a P/E of 14.31%. The rule of 20 says P/E + inflation should be 20 or less. A hard question, but do I overlook the P/E of the S&P 500 and invest now with a long term hold or do I wait?
Thanks for your comments!

Q: There has been so much price increase , I wonder if there is any insider buying or selling in the last 3 months ? Does the increased stake in Klaviyo poses any significance ? Thanks a lot.

Q: KXS is down $30 over the last 3 years and I am trying to understand why. The economy seems to need the solutions the company sells yet shareholder results are lacking. Are they asking to much for the product, are they losing sales, are they paying themselves to much or does the market just not have faith in the company?

Thank you for your thoughts on KXS.

Q: MFC: bought small position earlier this year at a good price (2500 shs) so up a fair bit. I also hold SLF (long time) which has been a stellar performer.
MFC announced a deal of some kind to-day which, quite frankly, I do not understand.
Why has this stock been such a poor performer vs SLF and is there any hope for it going forward?
Thank you ... J

Q: Further to Terry’s question today about celh, can you please comment on what makes this name a stand out? Financials seem to show “popping” earnings growth so I get that as one thing to like. Do you have any concerns that tastes for a drink can change quickly (I want to say fizzle out…I will have to try the drink. Thanks.
