Q: Hi Team,
I am wanting to buy both VEEV and DOCU as both long term growth plays, and to play into their current momentum. I don't have any free cash right now, so have to trim from a couple other stocks to do this. I was considering trimming half of my SQ holdings to buy DOCU, and trimming half of my TWLO holdings to by VEEV. Do you see any issues with these moves? Also, being that VEEV and DOCU are in high momentum right now should I wait for a pullback or would it be OK to buy these at current levels? Also...do you see VEEV and DOCU holding up after this covid scare is gone, or do you see risk of these momentum stocks falling on their face once the virus scare diminishes? Thanks for your advice!

Shane.

Q: Been following SUP for sometime & am puzzled ? What I know : NDG recently purchased 10% of shares for $1.27 M. Board members also recently added $ 705000 buying shares. None of this made much movement in the price. It has been moving up slowly for the past 3.5 months from $0.07 to $0.30. Then this Friday , it jumped $0.075 ( 23.8%) = $0.39 on a volume of 197657 shares ( barely nothing.) Question :the injected $ from NDG and the board members hardly made the stock move ? Are these preferred shares ? Question : Friday, I can assume maybe 50 people bought 4000 shares each at $0.35 = $1400 = total $70,000 and that made the stock jump 23.8 % . Do you see anything happening in this company ? Appreciate your input. Thanks.

Q: Hello,
I own shares of Clarke Inc. They recently spun out Terravest, which I know little about. Terravest seemed to be about half of the value of my original Clarke investment. Clarke a few years ago provided 2 large $2 per share dividends but has not paid any dividends since. I haven't looked into any details of the spinout, though Terravest has dropped about 10% since then. It is holding up better than the market. Can you give me further insights into these 2 positions and whether either are worth holding or adding to? Each represents about 1% of my portfolio. Use as many questions as needed. Thank you.

Q: Shop has become one of the top 3 companies in terms of market cap in Canada. Past companies such as BlackBerry, Valeant etc when they took the top stop their fall was epic. Do you think this time is different and investors are ready to have tech lead over banks? In the US we see tech as these trillion dollar companies but in Canada we still value to banks as the biggest companies. I think the tide might we changing.

Q: I know u are more about stock but my question is do u think I should change all my Canadian dollars not invested into US funds. Right now about 50/50 in Canadian stocks and US stocks. With Oil being down the growth in US stocks seem much higher to me. I understand just your opinion..

Q: Greetings:
Could you kindly provide me with as much information as you have
on J C Penney. Debt To equity, debt to cash flow , past and future
projections etc. No doubt you would stay clear of it at 24 cents.
Also does XGD have a US listing. I notice that in answers about
it there is a holding disclosure. Does DLR still have both the US
and Canadian Etf?

Thanks,
BEN.

Q: I hesitate to ask because I find that some of your subscribers expect you to answer questions which are far from your stated ambit, but at the risk of being lumped in with them let me go ahead anyway. Would you know if the Government of Canada published a budget for 2020-2021, and if so, did it change the capital gains tax formulation? Many thanks.

Q: Hi there,

Shopify appears that it will not continue it's rise. Sell now or buy more?
Berkshire Hathaway A seems to be, in essence, a pricey mutual/ETF fund but one that has fallen and history would suggest will rebound. Buy now or is it your thinking that Buffet and Monger are elderly and this increases risk and/or the Canadian $ too weak and/or stick with B and diversify. Or none of the above? Thank you.
