Q: Could you please some insights into the relationship between the number of analysts covering a company and the number of institutions holding that investment? For example, I was surprised to hear that TOI only has one analyst, while Yahoo shows 109 institutions holding shares. Is this simply because they were "given" shares from CSU? If that wasn't the case, how many institutions would you expect to be holding shares (roughly)? I'm trying to get a sense of what high vs low institutional interest looks like. Thanks

Q: Greetings,

I am underweight consumer defensive and consumer cyclical and would need to invest about a $100k in each to get the right balance.

I also need more US and international exposure.

Can you suggest your top two individual names in each category that are listed in the US and Canadian markets?

Lastly, is there an ETF or two I should look at?

Keep up the good work… i am up substantially on TOI based on the guidance received here.

Q: I currently have a 25% Tech allocation with the following stocks : OTEX, KXS, CSU, LSPD, REAL, TOI and MAGT. I am confortable with a little overweight in Tech since lots of growing quality companies are in the sector.
Reading your answer I understand you also have other favorites within the sector : SHOP, NVEI, DSG, etc..

I feel my list of canadian Tech companies (I don't bother buying US stocks, I just buy VUN...) is well balanced but I'd like to know if you would make any change, addition, substraction? Are SHOP and/or NVEI exceptional enough to consider increasing my overweight in Tech?

Thank you

Q: Can you comment HIRE and PNG earnings?

Concerning HIRE i bought it because Hamed Shabahzi is on board of directors. Is it a good advantage or influence is not big enought to consider it?

Would you consider them HOLD? With market to all time high, i think investors will eventually look at smaller stock for more value.

Q: What is your opinion on GXO, the contract logistics company recently spun out from XPO Logistics? It's early days but would you endorse a BUY given the market potential for warehousing, distribution logistics and e-commerce? I noticed the profit margins are fairly low at 2.3%/3.9% in previous years and the company has $700M net debt. Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Q: 1) Since management is trying to buy the company from other shareholders, is it in their best interest to keep the share price from rising? eg. slow down new deals, slow down news flow, slow down promotion, slow down analyst meetings.... Seems like there is a huge conflict of interest at this point between management and other shareholders who want to own this company long term.

2) Their stated rationale for a buyout seems flawed. The CEO says the public markets are not rewarding them with a good valuation for which to use shares for acquisitions. But don't public companies trade higher valuations then private companies?

Thanks.
