Investment Q&A

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

Q: Alex Ruus on BNN said CLL was too expensive, and he would maybe sell at this point. He's not the first I've heard saying it was very expensive. It seems to me that your position has always been that the top stocks deserve a premium, and I've never read you advise one be sold due to price. Is this a general philosophical belief? Ie., never sell a good stock even if it is overpriced?

Q: Good day 5i, question relates to Badger and the short position. Watched Badger in 2014, and missed the boat by not buying. Now with the Chicken Farmer and others extolling the (negative) virtues of BAD, wondering if it's time to watch again and to pull the buy trigger on another probable dip. So, can you tell me the % of float currently shorted (realize the farmer may have covered and moved on...) as it may give a possible direction.

Thanks as always

Q: Hi All!

Just a quick comment for whats its worth

5i Research Answer:
A couple of notes, first.
Badger has a much longer public history than PSN. We have heard the 'no competitive advantage' argument against BAD ever since it went public.



I often had to deal with hydrovacs trucks. One day I was driving around a clean Harbors super - who had worked as a BAD foreman for a few years before. We were looking at a couple of his C.H. hydrovacs doing a job. He pointed out to me that for the same job, the BAD trucks would have been in and out of there in 4 hours while the Clean Harbors trucks which were there sucking for over 8 hours were not done yet.

Feel free if you want to use
Have a good week! Dom
