Investment Q&A

Q: Could I get your thoughts I get your thoughts on Intuitive Machines (LUNR) as a speculative investment?

Thanks you for the great service

Q: Disappointed with the last results and what seems to be the need to be willing to accept lower growth going forward. I had hoped that the company would break out this year.
Wondering what your opinion is moving forward and especially your thoughts on the stability of the dividend. At what oil price would negative issues start to arise here?

Many thanks.

Q: Question today from Indra, regarding taxes on ETFs purchased late in the year.

I'm a bit confused. My understanding was that Mutual Funds purchased late in the year did indeed become subject to income taxes accumulated by the MF during the entire year....but ETFs were not and therefore you could purchase them anytime throughout the year.

Please clarify....thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Would you invest in Markel as a long term hold?
How does it compare to Fairfax?

Q: I have a few questions about the recent special committee report which found no “substantial concerns about the integrity of Super Micro’s senior management or audit committee”,

1) To what extent was the recent report actually “independent” and to what extent can it be relied upon by us as investors? I think the committee was appointed by the board so can the report be trusted? I

2). Can we assume that there’s no fraud? What do you make of the comment that there was no “substantial” concerns about management or the audit committee? It seems that there were issues but those were not “substantial” whatever that means.

Do we have to worry about fraud here or do we simply worry about whether there may a guidance issue? Thank you,

Jason

Q: Hi

In your answer to Jeff, you stated "CASH pays a 4.51% yield while MNY pays a 4.83% yield."

I couldn't find those yields anywhere. I see gross yields of 3.72% and 4.38% on their websites, respectively.

Where is your source?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Hi,
PLTR has had an incredible run but I believe the fundamentals are disconnected from the stock price. Trading at fwd P/E 150x and P/S 46x!! I believe this not sustainable with the estimated growth. What would PLTR have to grow rev and eps by for the next 5-10 years to get to this valuation? I'm looking to short PLTR and I know the risks of shorting stocks but I believe the risk/reward is good here and the stock will pullback. I am long the tech sector so this is somewhat of a hedge. Your thoughts?

Q: What are the pros and cons of this etf. Lower interest rates, Trump election? Would this be better to buy the CDN or

Q: I was wondering which Canadian stocks do you feel would do well with the upcoming change in US administration, and which will do badly. I assume that most will change a bit one way or another, but I am concerned about significant changes - like with MG or LNR due to tariffs.

Q: Is it advisable to buy an ETF so late in the year
I remember?? reading an article regarding taxation on distributions, namely that you are taxed on the total years distributions, even though you have not received the entire years distribution if u purchase late in the year
Appreciate any clarification you can offer on this
Or should I wait till January 2025 to purchase?
Thank you again
