Investment Q&A

Q: Would appreciate your comments on the 3rd quarter 2023 financial results for WCN, Waste Connection Inc. The drop in the stock value would seem to indicate
that the market was disappointed. Is it still worth holding or has the outlook changed?
Thank you for your information.

Q: I've been reviewing CSU's shareholder letters and kicking myself that I didn't find such a legendary CEO 15 years ago. The letters make it very clear how much of a unicorn ceo the guy was/is. Which got me thinking, are there any early stage Mark Leonard's out there now that are the kind of ceo's you want to bet on, but younger and their companies are less developed. So my question is, if you had to bet which current CEO's of companies in North America under $10B are likely to be extremely successful based on their business acumen, and shareholder friendliness. Which CEO's would those be (the next Mark Leonard's)? Thx

Q: Please rank these securities in terms of attractiveness at current valuations. Looking for best total return opportunity with 5 year time horizon

Q: Your assessment of this stock at this price. Buy sell or hold, I have a small amount in the $43.00 range.

Q: At this stage in the economic cycle, which of these 3 would you consider for a long-term hold and why? Thanks!

Q: Which one (GFL or EFN) would be better for a long term hold with capital preservation and of course some growth in a TFSA account. The funds are coming from ECN special dividend, which I still have a full position in.
Thanks

Q: Hello Team,

What are your thoughts on these 3 companies? If you are positive on them what would be your opinion of a good entry price, great entry price and table pound.

Thank you!

Q: GFL today announced that certain of its shareholders (the "Selling Shareholders") intend to offer for sale 12,658,228 subordinate voting shares (the "Shares"). GFL will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares (the "Offering"). J.P. Morgan will act as underwriter for the Offering.
GFL did a similar offering on April 23, 2021 for 17,500,00. Should this be a concern, or is this normal for relatively new and growing company?
Thanks
Roy

Q: NO PROFIT... NO PROBLEM...

This is a story in the Globe and Mail dated Sept 25th 2021. The article made all lot of sense and there seems to be a disconnect with growth at all cost with no profit. Maybe this is how things are done just look at how our government is run.

I don't have a specific question to any of the companies mentioned above but with LSPD in the news lately maybe it will apply. I know there has been a short report put out on LSPD and from some of the comments that I am reading from 5i that they are false.

My question is how do you know?

We don't know the real workings of a company and what we get from them is what they want us to hear. Take for example XBC, that wiped out all of value from investors because we didn't get the correct information from Management. It's what they wanted us to hear and we believed them.

I think there should be some healthy skepticism with regards to what Management says and does and investors should take away that capital preservation is paramount.

If LSPD or any company that gets shorted and can't explain the reasons for the discrepancy in a respectfully dialogue then maybe there is some truth to it but like I said we don't really know.

Who is right? The short trader or the Stock promotor?

Until we get all the information it will always be Buyer Beware and don't fall in love with any stock.

Sincerely.

Q: Hi,

I'm seeing more and more evidence for inflation being a real thing that is not yet formally accepted by US or CDN governments. Evidence is obvious increases in the price of some common items (food, lumber, metals, housing) and also an uptick in commentary on the subject by some trusted SA authors.

Can you provide some sectors that typically benefit from increases in inflation (Gold, Finance, etc) as well as some specific company plays that would benefit from increases (Can or US).

Thx,

Cam

Q: Peter; With the issue accruing nothing to the company is it just a exit plan by the selling shareholders and does it change your view of it re excess debt? Thanks. Rod
