Q: Hi, ZDC just reported. Numbers appear to be quite good. Is there anything suspect you see in the report? Net income numbers looked weak.
I do own the shares about a 3/4 position. Time to add to make a full position?
Q: Are you surprised by the post earnings decline? I know you advocate holding stocks for many years and while I agree that this is probably best but I worry about where this will find a bottom. I find it hard psychologically to hold stocks that fall 20%. (Note to self - remember this feeling before you buy a growth stock next time).
Q: My understanding is that the original company, Yandex, sold its Russian assets to a group of Russian investors in July 2024 and the renamed parent company, Nebius, retains the international assets of the original company. I'm not sure I fully understand what all this means. What exactly is the connection between Nebius and Yandex. Is there any connection to the group of Russian investors that bought the Russian assets. Do you have any concerns over the connection with the original company. As a parent company does Nebius have any liability over its ownership of the international assets of the original Yandex.
Thanks.
Q: I listened to an interview on BNN (link at end if you want to include it in post) in which a prominent analyst tore into the CRWV model. His take is that they are borrowing money to build data centres and that the return from those centres is half the cost of what they borrowed to build them. He further states that companies like GOOG and META are building their own capacity with cash on hand and taking advantage of Coreweave for cheap capacity. His thesis is bankruptcy within a few years.
My question (and it applies to NBIS too) is that you either agree or play devil's advocate to his thesis and explain why he is correct or incorrect. It's just one analyst and of course there are two sides to every trade but is there a clear path to creating strong returns on these data centre investments or are they in fact spending money just to lose money? If he is correct on CRWV, is NBIS different?
Thanks
Q: I believe your last Telus vs "the others" comparison was a couple months ago in which you had favoured T. Has that changed? I believe in a comparison, T's debt ratio was worse than both BCE and Rogers.
A recent guest on BNN stated that his preference was moreso for the other two, but actually even more for Quebecor. His concern on T was the lack of dividend coverage over the next few years. Do you have concerns here? I'm trying to determine whether I should make the switch from T to BCE since the latter has already took the dividend-cut pain.
Q: CSU and TOI are slowly starting to recover but not LMN. Also I see now that there is a constant seller fo LMN at $25.70 and they are putting blacks of 5K and 10K to sell.
Do you think this is a fund trying to get out and also do funds also sell for end of the year tax selling purposes?
Q: Hi Team,
Given the better momentum in PNG, would you advocate a switch, or partial switch from PRL to PNG? Currently I hold almost twice as much PRL compared to PNG. Also, when is PNG set to report? And given the reactions in this quarters earnings season is it too risky to buy more PNG ahead of quarterly results?
Q: Drif largeting closer to < $1b market cap. Are there any clues of large, long term investors, especially the Chinese backers, slowly exiting their position?
