Q: What is a good approach to evaluating risk for a stock investment? I can think of systemic risks, specific company risks, and historical drawdown price risks. Anything else? Is there a way to condense these into an overall risk estimate? Any articles or books on the subject you would recommend for DIY investors?

Q: I've taken a position in Celestica partly based on your reviews. In one of the recent questions about CLS you mentioned a desirable entry point, any guidance on a stop price?
Based on this chart i will set my stop limit just below the 200 SMA at $57.50

Seem reasonable for downside protection?
With the BOC lowering rates i think that is positive for small caps like CLS however i'm still nervous about a broader market decline.

Q: Wondering what your take on the quarterly reports are for these two, with one going up and the other going down after hours. Really interested on your take of ZS since it seems to have finally come down in valuation. Is this a good buying opportunity for us bargain hunters? How does its valuation stack up now against CRWD, PANW, and FTNT?

Q: You recommended CELH as recently as yesterday (Sept 4), a day when it plunged more than 11% in the afternoon. Normally you don’t seem to favour stocks with very weak price action. Should investors keep making an exception for CELH? Is there a price level at which point you’d consider it too broken to buy?

Q: I was having coffee with a friend of mine yesterday and he had mentioned these products which seem to use leverage 1 for 1 for example in stocks and bonds or stocks and futures. Can you give me a quick overview and your gut feeling on these type of ETF's, it looks like the history is extremely limited and I don't quite understand how these work.
