Q: I am wondering how to assess SHOP going forward based on its recent runup. If the increase is due, in large part due to perceived success during COVID, the next quarterly earnings report will only partly reflect their success/failure for this period. Are you then looking for the guidance they give, the quarterly results they post or will you be continuing to value the company based more on what you know about them from having followed them for some time? I guess my question is valid for all companies during the next 6 months but this one has run up so much, I am wondering if I am being unduly cautious as to how much I continue to hold.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I have held Kinaxis for a few years and it has always been fairly steady with growth. For the last few months it has really moved up. From your previous comments you indicate it has been adding new contracts with existing customers to explain this. My question is how could this cycle be disrupted. I feel comfortable not trimming on a stock like this.
What are your thoughts
Thank You, Peter

Q: I just read your report on PBH and wondering what does China have to do with supplying pork to PBH? (ref. Growth Plans section of the report). I always thought China was a net importer of pork and am shocked if Canada /PBH is buying Chinese pork. Please explain the China connection to PBH operations and its impact on PBH earnings & growth.

Q: Hi,
SHOP has been a great performer for my portfolio. I reduced my position by approximately 40% yesterday. (April 21), thinking that the stock looked “topped out”. To my surprise it continued its uptrend today. I like to term this stock a “monster”. It’s unbelievable they way it’s moving up. Is this move sustainable and do you think we could see $1000 in the near future ? Also what is really driving this stock.... could you share your thoughts ?

Thank you and be safe .

Q: hi folks:

understanding that byd is well run, i wonder why it has held up so well

logically it seems that they will likely be a year (possibly more) till they return to full capacity; given the volume of people that will not be driving

do they have the balance sheet to take advantage of the fire sale that surely will be coming in 'mom and pop' panel beater co's; allowing them to buy more assets at fire sale prices?

is byd just getting a bid from the safety trade as it 'appears' (ok, to me) that there is no solid reason for it to have recovered so well?

thanks
