Q: First of all, thank you 5I for all these companies.

These are my only holdings in tech at the moment.

I have a present LOSS of 3.76% on GLXY;
a GAIN OF 52.08% on Lumine;
a GAIN of 57% on SHOP,
and a GAIN of 19.99% on TOI.

Needless to say, I'm very happy with these returns, even if GLXY is wobbling at the moment.

Do you see this as a good time to add to all/any of these positions at this time, with a quick rationale.

I still have lots of room to add to my tech positions at this time, so if I'm not adding to these, would you recommend another "growthy" company or two.

Thanks to 5 I, I've killed my "Chicken Little" personality from long ago, and am quite comfortable riding out the vacillations of the marketplace. : )

Q: In the context of Return on Equity (ROE), what is the ideal ROE? I am asking because, when we examine company profiles, we can see significant differences in companies’ ROE. For example, here are the figures for: RY-CA 14%, DOL-CA 104%, and HD-US 405%. Why is there such a disparity? Thank you

Q: Nutrien (NTR:CA) shares have steadily dropped about 43% over the last 3 years, so what is the prognosis going forward?
I'm missing something.
Since the USA apparently buys approximately 85-90% of their potash from Canada and the alternative supply is overseas, isn't this a captive market?
Why doesn't Nutrien (assuming it to be the biggest potash player in Canada) increase the price to build value and increase the share price?

Q: I have held Kinaxis for a few (disappointing) years now. This is a logistics/ risk management software company as I understand it.
If what there were a time to succeed in this environment, it would be this- I mean the only thing more timely might be a German weapons maker in terms of sector demand.
Is there reason to believe that KXS has a useful downstream growth story to justify holding?

Q: These two seem to be in the same "space". I'm not sure if they are competitors. I'm also trying to better understand this crypto market. Both appear to have potential and I understand that they are risky and I assume they both will move with the price of bitcoin.
I would like to have a small position. Do you recomend one over the other or a small position in each. Thanks John

Q: I’m down on the above stocks in my cash account. Total loss is $6000 CAD. I like the names and want to own these long term. Would you sell and wait the 30 days? Buy proxies? Keep and decide when the madness ends? As always. Thanks.

Q: I am getting “twitchy” on Premium Brands ahead of them reporting on March 21st (a Friday, but reporting before markets open?). Can you give me an idea of how often they have beat expectations in the past and how the share price has reacted historically as well? I know it is asking for crystal ball gazing but can you make an educated/experienced guess about what you expect?

Q: Is XIT worth holding? Or would one be better off just buying the top 3 holdings in equal weightings. For CDN tech, what would be the best buys today for the long term?
