Investment Q&A

Q: Good evening, what do you think of CELH moving up their earnings date to tomorrow from Mar? Have you seen this before? Why don’t think management would do this? The stock moved up on the news. Does it signal that it may be all that bad?

Thanks

Q: In an earlier question today on VLE, the answer said a cash position of$133 million and debt of $79 million but when I look at their financial statement it says cash position of US259 million and no debt. Can you clarify which one is right. Thanks

Q: Hello all,
Just a comment pertaining to BTI’s price movement. In their recent earnings announcement, they referenced a 6.3 Billion GBP provision for the Canadian class-action lawsuit settled - or soon to be settled. That may have some bearing on recent price action, particularly given that it could potentially portend other, similar actions/outcomes.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Kraken seems like a very interesting company but I am worried about it's vulnerability to intensified 'buy American' policies, and Trump tariffs. Does it have a moat that could help it deal with these? What is your assessment of overall risk?

Q: Please comment on the recent significant draw down. Is the stock considered expensive at current levels?

thank you

Q: What are your thoughts on RRSP loans and borrowing to invest in general?
Right now I can borrow at 5.3% for an RRSP loan and can otherwise borrow at 7.4%. I think the tax and investment benefits would outweigh the borrowing costs in the case of putting it into an RRSP. In the case of a non registered account, the 7.4% hurdle rate makes it tougher. Do you have any general advice for borrowing to invest in a non registered account? And if one chooses to do so what suggestions would you make regarding allocation or options to consider? I understand this would be general advice and not personal recommendations.

Thanks very much

Q: In a recent response to another member you mentioned "IBKR is almost twice the size of HOOD ($99B vs. $56B market cap, respectively)".

I ended up looking into IBKR and HOOD a bit more and discovered this about IBKR:

Depending on the data platform, some list the IBKR market cap as ~$25B and others list it as ~$99B. This has to do with whether you consider both public and private shareholders counts when calculating market cap.

I learned that GAAP handles this where the non controlling interests are removed from the income statement ("less net income attributable to non-controlling interests" which was $2.652B for 2024 leaving $765B Net Income) to leave only the net income attributable to IBKR public share holders. The bigger chunk goes to IBG Holdings controlled solely by Thomas Peterffy.

Based on this I believe IBKR is half the size of HOOD, at least the portion that common shareholders attribute earnings too.

How do you think about companies structured like this?

Q: I just took a beating on a couple of my stocks, hudbay and paramount…..if it wasn’t for the threat of tariffs I would most likely be looking at buying the dip…..I’d like to ask you about your thoughts?? Thank you

Q: What do you think about these for the next two years?

Thanks for the great service.
