Q: Hello Peter and 5i,

Have you been able to peg an entry price for XBC? It bounced off $2.76. Is shipping and delivery the biggest risk to becoming profitable in the next 1-2 years as systems are manufactured in China? If so is it your belief that the next quarter may be severely impacted and we should wait?


Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Bought these when you first put them into the Growth Portfolio. Was wondering if you still feel that they have potential. What do you think is needed to get them going in a positive direction? What do their financials look like?
Thanks for your invaluable wisdom and knowledge.

Q: Hello, I am up 1000% in DSG and have clearly held it for a long time. I believe in holding my winners, while watching portfolio weightings...It was blind luck rather than skill. Question, how is DSG going forward...any other lucky names especially in the tech sector . I am woefully incompetent here.

Q: What is the latest information on the forward P/E for REAL? It would seem with the price drop REAL must be cheap by now. Let's assume REAL is successful with the onboarding of the tier one client, which they are being quite careful about, and growth continues. Isn't there an opportunity here for new buyers of REAL?

Q: Good Morning,

I would like your opinion on when GSY might be considered an addition to the Balanced portfolio? Is it a matter of sector weighting that would preclude its inclusion? It seems to be a perfect stock for the folio. Growth and a growing dividend.

Sorry for putting the team on the spot!

It’s horrible having made so many prescient selections that subscribers are reduced to questions like this one. Lol

Q: I am confused about the 'paired' nature of this stock as it relates to BAM.A. This seems to suggest that if you own BAM.A there is no point in buying or owning BAMR as they are essentially the same stock. Why even list it, then? It doesn't matter how well the company does or doesn't do as its' share price will remain equivalent to BAM.A. Or is this a temporary thing?

Q: Any chance that Real Matters is a buyout target for Constellation Software? Mark Leonard did say he is going after other "markets". Or maybe Real Matters cannot even past their internal hurdle rates.

Q: Hi there,
I have been enjoying the run up in TOI and have been thinking of adding to my quarter position. I have been adding along the way and have a dollar cost average of about 93 bucks a share. I am debating whether I should add here, raising the per share cost - but it seems like a parabolic jump in price. Alternatively, I wonder whether I should wait for a dip. And if I do so, what is a fair value to buy at? It seems like TOI may go the way of CSU or SHOP longer term and I do have a window of about 5-10 years. For what it is worth, I still regret not buying shop at about two hundred dollars because I thought it was overvalued.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

Q: Hello,
I am trying to understand "hidden? value" from your viewpoint vs out of favor with the market.
REAL.to has lost close to 60% of it's value in the past year while many other assets have been rocketing up creating a massive opportunity cost for holding it(with no dividend). A month ago REAL was #10 in your top 10 in response to a questioner.
In the case of GUD, it seems the reputation of JG creates the expectation of an encore performance and periodic insider buys, and micro press releases temper the stock price decline from no real news.
Are there any tangible/intangible factors that would compel someone to make a contrarion investment in REAL at this point?

Thank you

Q: 1) Since management is trying to buy the company from other shareholders, is it in their best interest to keep the share price from rising? eg. slow down new deals, slow down news flow, slow down promotion, slow down analyst meetings.... Seems like there is a huge conflict of interest at this point between management and other shareholders who want to own this company long term.

2) Their stated rationale for a buyout seems flawed. The CEO says the public markets are not rewarding them with a good valuation for which to use shares for acquisitions. But don't public companies trade higher valuations then private companies?

Thanks.
