Q: Hi Team,
Have you had a chance to look into GSY's deal with Canada Drives? It seems like a good move to me by the company. How successful is "Canada drives" with sales? I have never heard of them until now but apparantly they are Canadas largest online car sales platform.The stock didn't seem to get any big love from the announcement. On another note...GSY continues to amaze me how this company is not worth so much more. P/e shows 10.6 on my platform, growth has been solid and proven for many years now and the loan book growth is now going parabolic the last year or 2 as it reaches scale it seems. Dividend growth has been stellar. Yet...I rarely hear it talked about by analysts on bnn or elsewhere. Do you feel it is still relatively "unknown?" Or is the company just being given a cold shoulder by many that view it as a predatory lender? To me the company checks all the boxes a person should be looking for, especially in the inflation environment when it comes to valuation and dividend growth, earnings growth. People can say what they want about recession scares with this name, but they have been there and done that have they not? 2020 they proved their business is resiliant. Your comments on all this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Shane.

Q: Would you be a buyer of US Banks now or would you wait for potentially lower prices? I have a small position in RUBY which I'd like to increase but it is down 26% from my original purchase price but I am not sure how US Banks are expected to perform in this market and facing a possible recession.

Q: What your opinion of PID at these levels? Would you add to a position here? Good dividend but a horrible looking long term 10 year chart. Thanks Ron

Q: What do you think about ASAN at these levels and valuation re-rating in the tech arena ! I am wondering if it will have a big bounce on any upcoming recovery, even if a brief bear market rally....to exit my final portion, or to keep for longer term growth recovery? Thx !

Q: please your thought or opinion those 3 Funds

Q: Can you speak to GSY financial stability and how a struggling economy could effect them / how much of a concern is defaults.

Q: Are Fiera's dividends sustainable? I just read an article which said it had a 160% earnings payout as dividends to shareholders and a 55% cash payout ratio last year. Can you explain which metric you consider more important? Thanks!

Q: Good afternoon - I am about break even on a full NVDA position and am considering selling and purchasing QCOM. Both are well down from their highs and while NVDA may have a higher ceiling, QCOM does pay a dividend which I am eyeing with interest. What do you think, and why? Thank you

Q: Is this a good entry point for nvei or lspd at these levels?

Q: I can get 5% + annual return to maturity on many triple B+ rated corporate bonds in the 6-8 year time frame. Do you see much risk of default or other issues with corporate bonds with companies like Enbridge, TD, Loblaws, and BCE? (I realize their face value will fluctuate as interest rates go up or down)

Q: The Canadian ones of the 4 resource stocks above have dropped a considerable amount over a short period. The two US ones, have been underperforming for months. Is there any I should part company with?
FNKO on my Market Call List - over the past two years is one of the top performers. Would it be a good replacement as I intend to get out of at least one or two of the resource stocks mentioned above. Thank you,

Q: does mttr hold any special applications that the big boys need or is it very speculative or pretty good potential with things lining up ?

Q: EGLX is seeing Greywood Investments , their largest shareholder taking steps to replace virtually all current directors with a slate of their preferred people at their July AGM. EGLX responded with new appointees, none from the Greywood list.
Would you provide your thoughts on this matter ? Also, how would you expect the different scenarios to affect the share price ? Thanks.
