Q: For new money, BKNG or UBER? Also, despite having different industry classifications, intuitively it seems that they would be likely to move in concert in the market (I think they have the same Beta), would you agree? When I overlaid 5 year charts, it seems they pretty much moved together except at the end of 2024.

Q: Considering adding to a small position that I'm even on, according to RBC, there are only 4 analysts covering this stock, 1 sell, 1 hold and 2 buys. I know 5i highly regards this company, in my mind for a good reason, I would have thought it would have more than 4 analysts and would have had a better rating. Curious why someone would rate it a sell?

Q: Can I get your take on this small cap company please?
They seem to have successfully pivoted away from money losing west African drilling operations last year, and subsequently locked in longterm consistent copper drilling contracts in Chile. I like their recent focus on profits above revenue growth, and they appear to be on pace for what I assume to be conservatively atleast 0.21 eps this year (pretty cheap). I know debt is high but should be able to continue paying it down in this environment. Am I off here? This is a small position in a risk seeking small cap portfolio but I’m considering averaging up on any weakness. Thanks.
