Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Team,


Which one these would you consider averaging down:

Twist (down 70%)
SPHR (down 60%)
Roblox (down 30%)

I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on your reasons.

Thank you for all your wisdom and kind support!

Q: Hi team,
What potential , if any do you see in Rblx currently? The shares have been making a slow recovery lately. Wondering if there’s a big future yet for this name, if they have areas to monetize in such as advertising on the platform? Or partnering with someone like meta for a VR metaverse future? Would you rank buy, hold , or sell today ?

Thanks
Shane

Q: Hi 5i

https://www.globalx.ca/product/hxdm#facts

I've looked at the "at a glance" section of HXDM (link above). It has a MER of 0.22 a mangement fee of 0.20, a trading expense ratio of 0.30, and a swap fee of 0.30.

The ETF has been around since at least 2018. Looking back, can you tell me what owners of this ETF would have paid in fees 2019 - 2023? It's hard to know based on the information below:

Q: In today's G&M there is a profile of a fund managers recent purchases. One I have not heard of before is CACI (It is not one seen on your question list very often). My interest piqued, I took a brief look at the company.

Its' BoD is a list of interesting but I would say not "shining star" corporate leaders in defence tech. Qualified but middle of the road?

EPS seems to be growing; slowly. It appears to me to be in the Defence Info Tech business; supporting decisions and decision making more than making the weapons. This seems to be the evolution based on learnings in current war theatres but I am only scratching the surface.

Since its October earnings release, which seemed OK, its share price has tanked in November from $572 to $479. I can only link this to a court victory in favour of 3 Abu Ghraib prisoners in the amount of $42 million US.

All this leads to the simpler questions; Is this a company in a business segment with a "growth" future, Do the past 10 year metrics support that it has a solid management team, What would be a reasonable entry price point, and what are the key risks facing the firm (ex court decision).

Specific to the court decision, in your opinion is a $100 knock to share price an adequate assessment of the company's liability risk or overreaction to the decision. I would suspect it is not over as usually such things are appealed.

As always, thanks very much,

Dave

Q: Hi!

What percentage chance do you give of the buy out failing?


Cheers,
David

PS It took tremendous skill...but I did manage to avoid profting too much on CIX.

Q: I'm not sure what the differences between these companies are? In this theme of electrification, what areas and which specific US and CDN companies would you suggest for a long term hold?

Q: I have held this fund for several years and it is now back to its purchase price. Not sure if I should sell or hold on for better times. Any comments above why it isn’t doing better?
Thanks.

Q: Would you put new money into either? Looking for 3-5 year capital gains.

Q: Hi There,

I’ve owned this company for quite awhile. I know you like it, it seems to have largely recovered from its past issues. But no traction even though the last few quarters showed quite good results….What’s up with it?

Thank you!

Q: Realize this company is volatile. Purchased it at $11.00. Is it worth holding onto ? It was originally being bought by insiders.

Q: I received this message below dated NOV. 20 and my 115 shares have vanished! (Replaced by cash.)

NUVEI CORPORATION SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT @ USD $34.00 PER SHARE 3,910.00 U$ CNV 1.3983900

How does this happen? Is it common? (I knew something was coming but thought it was going to be 2025.)

Thanks in advance!

Q: Any chance that another bid may come into play or that the offer price would need to be increased on this deal? Just trying to decide on selling now Vs waiting for the payout.
