Q: I have all three of these with large unrealized gains and I understand the reason for the significant stock adjustment over the past few months, is it time to move on? What has to happen to get the companies back in favour?

Q: CLPBY - COLOPLAST A S AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS SPONSORED

Hi guys

I have followed Coloplast (Danish company I believe) for a very long time as a good safe, reliable health care play, with an interesting way to play the aging demographic trend. I notice also that it is near a 52 week low and has trended downward generally the last 5 years. Probably not a great chart.

And realizing you don't generally follow too closely European stocks, do you have any thoughts on the company, its products, whether it has a moat around its products (seem to be a bit sticky once people start to use them), and its current valuation? A buyor better stocks in the health care products area?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: Hi, it seems that for several months, many analysts have considered Dollarama to be overvalued. However, the price is about 5% lower than when it hit its high in June. I already have a half position, and wonder what you would consider a good entry point? Thank you for your service!

Q: The price of HSAV is the same as 2.5 months ago and the premium shrunk to 0.14%, which seem to be extremely low considering the tax advantage of HSAV. Is it because there are a lot of sellers and nobody wants to keep money in cash these days? Does it have something to do with the CDN$? Or there are other reasons for such a poor performance of this fund lately?

Q: I am in Germany at the moment and see a lot of advertising from Ebay. Given ebay’s current valuation, competitive position, and industry outlook, do you think the company is well positioned to deliver strong shareholder returns over the next five years?
Ebay has been aggressively buying back its own shares — do you think this capital allocation strategy will continue to create value for shareholders over the next five years?

Q: Good morning 5i
You recently answered a question from a member asking how to set up an etf portfolio in which you mentioned holding QQQ as well as a US s&p etf and a couple of outside North America etf’s. It got me thinking about my own mix. I am retired and hold voo as well as vwo and a European etf. I also hold a few teck stocks such as nvidia, shop, google directly at full weight. Because of this i didn’t want to put too many of my eggs in the Technology basket, thus avoiding QQQ, thinking that i have enough exposure with voo and my individual holdings. Do you think that it would be prident to hold more QQQ?
Thanks

Q: Questions on KBL:

Can you please comment on:

- Balance sheet quality

- Management

- Current valuation relative to its history

Considering its 12-year dividend-raising drought, is there a history of companies going long periods without raising before resuming once again. Wondering if there is any hope.

A somewhat related question.......
KBL is rated B+ in your reports. Does your rating system take into account any risk profile? For instance, I believe PRL is also rated B+. So from an overall risk standpoint, would you see these two companies at roughly a similar level of risk?
