Q: What is your analysis of Corpay (CPAY) as an undervalued investment at its current price of $283, well below its 52-week high? Analysts forecast earnings growth from $21.05 per share this year to ~$28 by 2027 and ~$33 by 2028, suggesting forward P/E ratios of 10 and 8.5, respectively. Corpay’s acquisition of Alpha Group in the UK could drive accelerated earnings growth through its fast-growing cross-border payments division, which the market may be undervaluing. Additionally, Mastercard’s recent $300 million investment for a 3% stake in Corpay’s cross-border payments business signals strong external confidence. Is this an attractive opportunity at current levels?

BMO S&P US Mid Cap Index ETF (ZMID $52.11)
Q: I own ZMID, and like its holdings and its exposure to mid-sized American companies, but find it a little illiquid.
Are there any other ETF's that cover the same market cap of American companies that is a bit more liquid? I know of XMS and it is much more liquid but it is hedged...know you prefer unhedged when possible...

Q: Would you buy into the momentum, as you indicated that it would extend into the next Q at least. I have a large gain on NBIS and although it is still just a 6% weighting, I am thinking of selling 1/2 and putting it into FIX. Would you wait for a better entry or do it at current price? Or would you just hold the course with NBIS?
Q: when i look at a company profile through your service you include a section called "Analyst Recommendations". Which analysts are we talking about?
Generally i take Analysts Recommendations with a grain of salt but since i trust your service so much i'm thinking you only include recommendations from reliable Analysts who are not simply talking up their book.
Do i have that right?

Q: I am wondering about the Direct indexing strategy: Buying a canadian or US index and harvest the tax loss on declining stocks and replacing them by buying similar company's stocks.
For the last 10 years, could that strategy be worth it? And what would be the optimal dependent variables like loss threshold, tax brackets, etc.?
Thanks as always for your great expertise and services

Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS $102.80)
Q: Huge thank you for directing me to NBIS, VRT, CLS, and NVDA. With all of their success, I find that I have been slowly trimming these companies quite regularly. Currently I want to let them run for a bit longer than I normally would. So with that said, what is the maximum percentage of your portfolio you would feel comfortable holding the above companies before trimming?
Much appreciated!
