Q: Hi,
I purchased a small starter position in SPOT a few weeks ago. I know 5i sees a lot growth potential with Spot and it has a high valuation. Lately I’ve read lots of bearish views on this company. What sets them apart from all the competition and free music available? I realize they have more users, international following, playlist sharing, and ad revenues. What am I missing that google, amazon and Apple don’t have or can’t replicate? What sets them apart from the competition?
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: A couple years ago, on your suggestion. I purchased some shares of CSU. for my wife's portfolio. At the time they were pretty cheap.. They now represent 23% of her total account. I find it hard to sell any as they keep going up, but if they ever took a nosedive, I would likely have to live in a tent in our back yard.. Would you suggest I sell some or hang on for a while longer? I notice you are suggesting them frequently as a good buy.

I own half positions in several companies - AFN, AC, TCL.A and NFI. Do you think now would be a good time to increase some or all to full positions?

Thanks for your assistance.

Q: Thank you for your prompt response to my question. I checked the stock at 4:30 PM and l saw a news feed that the company had received the final government permit to operate the back fourty mineral deposit. (We will call it a mine if it ever gets into production). It appears possibly some people or maybe even many people knew the permit was going to be granted before the general public knew. Would this concern you?
Market capitalization has now passed 100 million. A Feasability Study is next up in the not too distant future. I am pretty sure management already knows the study will be positive - otherwise they wouldn’t be spending all this time and money getting permitted. There may news leakage out of the head office but I don’t think this company is a promotion and dump operation. Would you consider the company investable now or is it still highly speculative?
Thank you,
Jim

Q: I'd like to pick a US stock for my portfolio. I like NVDA, but do you feel it and MU at current prices are already overvalued and if so would you suggest something else.
Thanks!

Q: I notice that MG is doing much better than LNR right now.
Would you choose LNR for growth over MG or is there to much uncertainty with the US trade situation to consider either.
Thanks for the great service

Q: I'd like to invest in the thesis that low-mid level income earners are going to start having more income based on a resurgent economy, lower taxes, and a very tight labor market along with reduced immigration. Can you suggest 3-4 companies that would really benefit from this scenario?

Q: I own some individual rate reset preference shares which pay dividends. I also own some ZPR/HPR shares which pay interest. Why are the payments classified as interest when the income comes from underlying pref share dividends? I can’t seem to find an explanation on any of the websites. Can you clear this up for me. Thanks as always.
