Q: DRM breezed through most of the last six months of market volatility, seeming nearly invulnerable in its steady upward movement. Then, at the beginning of April, it began a steady downward movement which has accelerated of late. It has lost 29% in the last 20 days, and 10% in just the last week. Is this decline in any way justified by events at the company or its debt level? Would you consider it expensive for its sector?

Q: It's interesting to think about "special situations" that arise in such a volatile economy. Let's say that with increasing mortgage rates coming, the rate of foreclosures is almost certainly going to increase. What are businesses that will do well in this case? In USA or Canada? I saw on social media someone mention ASPS, but curious of your take on the thesis and companies that could do well.

Q: In a rising interest rate environment - I always understood that insurance companies would do well since their liabilities would be discounted at a higher rate. However - I see that SLF is down 16% this year and MFC is down over 8%. Huh???

Q: Hi,

I sold ATA and BYD for tax reasons as I was down on both. My original plan was to buy them back but we are now 30 days later and I'm hesitating as they are even lower. At this point, would you buy them back or look to other (better) opportunities. Would you be able to suggest same sector alternatives if I should look elsewhere?
Thanks

Q: Based on your best guess, how high do you think Prime rate can go and at what level will the 5 yr Canadian bond yield stabilized?

If the 5 yr Canada bond yield was to increase above say 5%, would it trigger a much larger stock market correction? There was not many alternatives to the stock market over the last many years in view of the very low rates. It seems to be changing to fight inflation. I am curious of you general comments on this. Thank you!

Q: I sold NVDA to accrue a tax loss and I can now buy it back. You were extremely high on the company 12 - 18 months ago but you have been naming other semi-conductor companies lately - QCOM and AMD specifically when asked about the sector. Have you cooled on NVDA and should I just stay with my proxy, AMD, or I am splitting hairs here and would you be comfortable with returning to NVDA for the long term?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: In your answer to my previous question on SYZ you said that earnings are expected to decline in 2022 but grow at a faster rate in 2023 .... Can I assume that the Simply Wall Street link I referenced is incorrect in their claim that earnings will decline by 32.4% PER year for the next three years ? .... Which I would assume to be 2022, 2023, and 2024 ...... If this is true I'll likely avoid the stock so I want to verify it's accuracy ......

Q: Hello 5i,

Could I get your future outlook on PXT given the recent election of a leftest government in Columbia. Market is very negative on the stock today (-10% as of writing).

Given that approx. 30% of Columbia's government revenues come from the taxation of Oil, I find it hard to believe that the new government would do anything to endanger it's revenue stream when it will be sorely need to pay for election promises made. I think the market is overreacting on this one.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you.
