Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: May I have your thoughts on the “updated collaboration agreement” between Power Co. SE (Volkswagen) and QS? It seems the agreement has expanded up to 260 million USD from 130 million. According to QS some payments will be received in 2025. It appears to me that sales are anticipated. Profits and positive cash flow are likely still off in the distance. Is the company being de-risked? The stock is down today, possibly more was expected or we are seeing “Buy on rumour sell on news” reaction. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: QS's share price is up 17% today. Today they "...announced a major milestone in the scale-up of its production capabilities:..". Not sure if the announcement warrants the share price bump-up. I am finally positive, having bought shares on the way down.
My question...Is the company getting de-risked with this announcement? I ask because I am contemplating buying more shares. My weighting is under 1% currently. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: Any red flags with QS’S latest numbers? They state the yearly loss is within guidance…do you agree? I don’t mind the loss provided the company is meeting its internal metrics, the loss is within guidance and company profits are within the realm of possibility. Is Bill Gates a shareholder through one of his funds? Thanks for all you do!

Q: Do you have any stocks you can recommend in the battery space? I'm seeing lots of hype about solid state batteries and other battery chemistries. With the electrification of everything, battery tech is going to continue to evolve and demand seems to be massive.
Looking for both startups and established businesses.

Thanks

Jim

Q: I want to consider buying a small group of stocks (5-10) that would capture the future growth (my assumption) of electric vehicles. These could be vehicle manufacturers, companies supplying key input/parts or other beneficiaries of EV growth. Do you have suggestions?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know I am way behind but I have just been reading about how autonomous-EV are going to be a hugh disrupter...I guess it is called TaaS. Does your Growth Portfolio have any exposer to this phenomena? If not do you have any suggestion of stocks that still have reasonable upside with this innovation. Thanks!

Q: In light of the independent lab confirmation of the validity of their technology and expected performance of their battery, and also with the apparent $2B investment by Volkswagen and other investors, what would your opinion of the company be now. Particularly now that they’re working into getting into full scale manufacturing, what do you feel would be the outlook for this company.

Thanks for an invaluable service.

Q: What would you suggest as a way to gain exposure to Electric Vehicles (EV’s)?

I have electric producers, as a common denominator, but wonder whether direct investment into auto or parts makers, and/or battery components (lithium/graphite) would be worthwhile.

Any suggestions for some small dabbles?
