Investment Q&A

Q: The following is from a CNBC article on Monday September 13th,

“ Now, Toast says it was serving more than 48,000 restaurant locations as of the end of June, up from 27,000 in 2019. Annual recurring revenue surged 118% in the second quarter from a year earlier to $494 million. The bulk of Toast’s revenue comes from what the company calls financial technology solutions, consisting primarily of fees paid by customers for payment transactions. Less than 10% comes from subscriptions.

In its updated IPO prospectus on Monday, Toast said it plans to sell shares at $30 to $33, raising over $700 million at the top end of the range. That would value the company at $16.5 billion, based on its outstanding share count.”

How does that compare with LSPD and it’s 150,000 client locations.

Q: Good morning
VRAR started trading this week as a spin off Victory Square. Before this company started trading, I noticed when I googled a name there was another company in a similar space with a similar name that had been trading. The stock symbols were not active, so I assume it must have stopped at some point. When I googled the name to-day the other company could not be found.
My question is this company a resurrection of a former company that for some reason stopped trading? If So, will the resurrected company fair better than it predecessor?

Thank you

Steve

Q: I am interested in the solar space. I own SPWR. I am not interested in ETFs at this moment. SOL looks interesting and has dropped tremendously like the rest, and is now approaching book value. In a previous answer you said it was a Chinese company, and yet on several sites I see the headquarters in Stamford, Ct. Can you comment on this and the stock in particular and which solar stocks you find most interesting. Thank-you.

Q: You noted several months ago that Johnson and Johnson may have exposure from opioid lawsuits and that this may be of concern. ABBV, through its Allergen division, may also be involved in at least some of these suits. You have continued to recommend ABBV so do you feel they are less exposed?


Appreciate your insight.

This stock was recommended to me as one with a lot of potential. I did some research and I believe it is a SPAC. I am apprehensive when SPACS are involved, but would appreciate an explanation and an opinion on the potential of WM Technology. I value your opinion and appreciate your service.

Q: Hi team,
I am aware that you are quite upbeat about this company but am "confused " about the following areas in : Price to Comparisons,i.e.Price to Free cash at 6.30,Price to Cash flow at 3.60,but in the Valuation Ratios Book Value of equity per share at 0.44. How practical are these calculations for evaluating a company's prospects when making an investment decision? According to analysts the target price for GXE is 1.10 ,is this realistic?
Many thanks ,
Jean

Q: What do you think of the new depositary receipts CIBC is offering? Is there any real difference owning the actual shares in US dollars?

Q: Greetings:
I know because it has been mentioned countless times that you are not tax experts, but perhaps you can help. When does a section 85 form need to be filed and when not? In the case of IPL, PWF, Uranium participation by Sprott Uranium Trust it is necessary, but not with score media and Penn. Perhaps it depends if it is a merger or acquisition, and what determines this. Perhaps the rules have changed in the last months. Thanks for your help.

Q: With the big banks flush with cash and rumours that they are looking at acquiring wealth mgt or fintech companies, could you name a few companies are your radar that would make a good fit? Something like goeasy or a wealth management company. Do you think they would be in a position to buy something like square or PayPal? I don’t think they would be interested in small fin tech companies like mogo?
