Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have been investigating MELI, and have found it to be an interesting stock to possibly add to my portfolio. Would you consider it to be a quality investment for 3-5+ years? Could you please compare it to AMZN and SHOP? Would it make sense to hold all three, or would there be too much overlap? I understand that MELI has a South American focus, so would MELI’s largest risk be government stability or intervention? Thanks for your assistance.

Q: Thanks to Earl for his recent note on how to go about selling PDYPF shares (?) through BMO InvestorLine.

However I'm still confused as to what the Flutter Entertainment transaction is actually all about.

Is the Fan Duel listing a spin out from Flutter and a completely separate listing? Ie, is this a choice between owning Flutter shares or Fan Duel shares on the NYSE?

Is it a choice between what exchanges you want to hold your shares on, NYSE or London?

If the Fan Duel listing is a spin out, do PDYPF share holders get some Flutter shares and some Fan Duel shares?

Finally, if it's a choice between one or the other, which one do you favour, Flutter or Fan Duel?

Thanks,
Pete

Q: I got a call back from BMO Investorline as a follow up to my questions last week. I think I now have the answers and want to share them. The PDYPF are not ADRs and he did not see a need to do anything immediately. I can have the shares converted to FLUT on the NYSE but there is a 1% "stamp" tax ($608 for me) plus to sell I would pay the standard $10 commission and would then have to do Norbert's Gambit to convert to CAD or pay their conversion fees. If I sell the shares on the LSE I would pay slightly over $280 commission plus two fees/taxes totaling 0.6% and have to pay the conversion from sterling to CAD. I'm glad I have a good profit on these shares because that sure adds up. I both cases slightly over 1% of the value. I hope this information helps others.

Q: I've discussed my Flutter shares with BMO Investorline representatives (and their backroom) for a couple of days now. The PDYPF shares are NOT ADRs but I'm not sure what they are. Are they CDIs (Depository Interest)? BMO IL says that I can only sell my shares on the LSE but to do that my shares need to be converted to FLTR. I see no logical reason they could not be converted to FLUT and sold on the NYSE. I don't think I am being given the right answer. Do you know what a PDYPF share actually is??
