Q: Hi 5i
Any thoughts on Amer Sports? They own the very successful Arcteryx clothing line as well as many other sports related businesses. At about $35, was $42 not long ago. Chip Wilson recently sold $160 million but still has 18% through his holding company. He appears to be raising cash (any idea for what?). The stock has tripled since IPO about 2 years ago. Your thoughts? How would it compare to another of your great calls, Aritzia?
Thanks, Greg

Q: Can you provide thoughts on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Value Factor ETF (EVLU) as a long term investment in the current high valuation environment?
I’m seeing a 3% 30day yield, 10.7 P/E, and 0.35 fee.
If in your response you say it’s too new (less than a year) or too small (10m AUM), please remind me why those things matter and how you’d weigh them for an investment that is otherwise attractive.

I have all of them as growth stocks so what's your opinion on this trade idea?

Q: I need to deploy about $400K in equities for a 75 year old friend whose instructions are conservative, low beta dividend paying stocks. He already has the usual suspects including the banks, Enbridge, plus FC and a few others. I can always add to his current holdings but RSI says many are stretched at the moment. Any thoughts or recommendations?
