Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,

To which would you add/start a position in to today? Long term hold. I already own STN and WCN (would be averaging up).

Also, if you could explain the drop in Stantec that would be great.

Thanks!

Q: In your answer to Kevin’s February 13 question about AI outfits scraping and using proprietary information, you referred to the legal consequences to doing that; there is currently an application to a Court in California to approve a $1.5 Billion settlement by Anthropic for copyright infringement by authors and publishers. Presumably that kind of amount will be something of a guardrail.

Q: I would appreciate your comments on the recent weakness in WSP’s share price. Could you please outline the main factors behind the sudden drop and whether this appears to be short-term market volatility or something more fundamental?

In particular, is the recent acquisition a significant factor in the decline, and if so, how do you assess the risks and potential long-term benefits from that transaction?

Additionally, at current price levels, would you consider WSP a buy, a hold, or a position to trim for a long-term investor? Any perspective on valuation, outlook, and key risks would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your insight.

Can you speak to the management of each company? Which is the better long-term hold?

Q: " AI-focused logistics firm Algorhythm Holdings said its SemiCab unit boosted customers' freight volumes by 300%-400% "without ‌a corresponding increase in operational headcount."

The above AI powered logistics tool news caused a havoc among most Trucking and Logistics stocks resulting a drop of 10-20 %, in Thursday's trade, giving back all gains of last few weeks. Dow Jones Transportation Index was down 4%, today.

Do you see this as a long term threat to the sector ?

I am curious to have your take on whether this news/AI scare could impact rail stocks also, in any way.

We were planning to initiate a position in CNR, but not sure, if the move warrants a caution in near term.

Thank You
