Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know this is not a fair question but I would appreciate your opinion which is always helpful. I have held this stock for several years and am even. I will spare you of all the metrics...Please.. just your over view will suffice. Is this large bank a legitimate long term contrarian hold, a value trap or just "dead-money"? HA! HA! Thanks as usual!

Q: The shares set a new all time high after recent Q results. Please go over the results and add insight as to whether or not the acceleration in the earnings over the last several Q's is sustainable or a one off associated with the spike in interest rates. Analysts average of price targets is $1534 implying 20% further price appreciation. Is it a buy, sell or hold at this time? Thank you.

Q: This company pays a nice dividend and apparently provides short term mortgage financing to corporations. It seems like a "Steady-Eddie" holder of share value since 2012. I'd like to reduce equity risk in a portion of my portfolio, not add to my money market holdings and collect the 8%. Does this equity likely achieve those goals, does the dividend seem secure, has it ever been curtailed, does it's business model carry a higher degree or lower degree of risk in your view? Many thanks for providing your thesis on this one.

Q: Hi

Is KKR like a mini BRK.B?

We presently own BRK.B at about 5,5% of our holdings.

Would you suggest adding to BRK.B or start a small position in KKR.

I understand you can not mention position sizes, but also respect your suggestions.

Thank you

Mike

Q: Could you please discuss the significance of the following:
American Express announces it has selected Nuvei Corporation as its first acquirer authorised to promote and sell PwBt's Open Banking-enabled payment method.
I realize this is only for the UK but could you please explain what this might mean going forward for other geographic areas the 2 companies operate in. In other words, is this the start of a partnership that might provide strong tailwinds for Nuvei.

Q: You’ve picked and stuck with some real winners in the past. You were upbeat on nividia well before it jumped in price as an example! Do you think BN will be a longer term winner? You likely address this in a prior question (in which case please feel free to direct me to your answer), but I am wondering if can briefly give me your top reasons why one may want to buy and hold BN. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

Total return, long term investor with a diversified portfolio. I have a tiny position in BAM that I either want to add to or sell. If I sell, I could put the proceeds into BN.

Does it make sense to consolidate into BN or to build a bigger position in BAM? Which is likely to have the best total return over the next few years?

Thank you, Michael
