Q: Started with half positions, down roughly the same on both. Considering consolidating into one nvei position, thoughts?

Q: Could you comment on the timeliness of investing in NVEI at this time.
Thanks,
FDF

Q: I need to liquidate some equities to be able to pay out my RMD. I am inclined to sell the above 2 stock (NVEI and PBH), seeing only downward momentum compared to the other equities (above) I have that show steady or upward momentum. Might you agree?

Q: The results for Nuvei look like they have been well received. Does it look like short covering or the start of an upward trend?
May I have your comments on the results? Would you consider adding to a (losing) position in a TFSA? Or selling on this bump?
Thank you, JaneN

Q: These names have been underperforming in my portfolio for some time now. Do you believe they remain attractive from these levels or are there more compelling names out there?

Q: NVEI versus the rest ...

Can you suggest the names of some growth companies that you feel have more potential in today's market?

Thanks

David

Q: 1. Has the company been totally honest prior to reporting last month. Please explain, since many research groups were recommending it including yours.
2. Is this thing worth holding while being down + 50%
3. Why would a company in such a mess declare a dividend?

Thanks DAN

Q: Hi, these are my stocks that are currently down, and would like to do some weeding,and tax loss planning.
I would like to sell one outright, sell three to half position, and maybe keep the remaining position.
The idea is to acquire cash to slowly add to my more stable holdings like ( BN:SLF: CSU etc.).
Thanks, and appreciate your feedback and opinions.

Q: A number of the companies in your growth Portfolio have seen significant recent pullbacks. Specifically, DND, NVEI, TSU, TVE, TIXT and CTS. Would you consider these companies as Buy/Hold/Sell at current pricing?

Thanks

Q: Thinking of buying a new mattress with a concealed side zipper. I find it hard to believe that a stock that trades in the USA and Canada can in one month lose 50% of its value because of a slight miss in earning and its outlook. Why?

You have strongly recommended NUVEI for quite some time and I was hesitant after involvement with LSPD. However, when another reputable investment newsletter (with a very conservative outlook), recently recommended this loser (NUVEI), I decided to take the plunge and pull the trigger. Boom, down 50%.

My question is about warning signs. How can one detect such things in advance? Obviously, nobody did, but for company to loss 50% of its value in less than one month, there must be something? No insider selling (or buying) unless it was done another way. The insiders must have known that they were going to lose half of their investment. Maybe they don’t own much? No idea?

I think something stinks here.

Anyway, I am off to Sleep Country.

Q: Trying to reduce my number of stock holdings. Have identified these 11 as small positions that can be eliminated. Intending to use the cash to add to stronger holdings. I try not to think of a stock as a "hold". There are lots of high quality names you can invest in that look better than a "hold". If you were doing a portfolio clean up, and held these as roughly 1% positions, are there any that you would be reluctant to sell?

Q: If you didn't have any shares in these companies wouldn't this be a good time to buy and slowly add over the next couple years. My thinking is CTS just has to go back to three dollars and your up 20%. They are buying back shares, dividend, huge ebitda etc. Board makes a few tweeks and sentiment and direction changes. I understand if you have a position to hold. Do you generally agree with the above.

Q: Can you comment on the level of debt carried by Nuvei. Is it high, moderate or low for their cash flows? Thanks.

Q: Hi, when a company has a bad quarter it usually drops 5-10-maybe15%. But when it drops 40+% there is usually something really wrong? Have you heard any reports or attacks against the company? This looks different.

Q: It is common for readers to ask what market expectations are for companies that you are aware of a few days before they report their earnings i.e. recently CSU, KXS and GSY. When you see stocks with bad market expectations, could you put an alert out that for example XYZ is going to have bad market expectations? In other words, give us the head's up on bad market expectations of a security before it reports earnings. I assume that NVEI would have bad market expectations before they reported. Thank you

Q: I imagine these will be answered by the time you get to this question, but if not could you comment on earnings for the above companies??? Thanks!

Q: Hi team,

Can you comment on the quarters of these two?

Thanks
