Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

I currently own META and QCLN.
For long term hold, I'm thinking about switching these two into SMART stocks because they dropped more.

1) Do you think SMART stocks will outperform META and QCLN in the long term?
2) Do you think SMART stocks are cheap enough right now given almost 50% drops?

Thank you!

Q: I am interested in investing in the EV Charging market and am looking at EVGO, CHPT and BLNK. Could you rank these in order of potential growth and add other companies that would be of interest.

Thanks for all of your past guidance,
Denis

Q: Hi,

Between GLXY and VOYG, which company do you think has better long term potential for a small speculative play?

thank you,
Brad

Q: Hi team,

I didn't see a question on this partnership (shop and JD), but is this not a relatively significant deal in your opinion?

Q: Hi Team,

Can you please provide the current P/S for these company and which you perceive as the best value today?

Thank you

Q: Hi folks

Looking at our TFSA accounts and looking at META.

With the down turn and quality top names, would this be a good long term holding (5 years?.

Thank you for the fine work and this downturn will all be noting more than a blip. I look at at this is a boxing day sale.

Cheers

Mike

Q: Can you comment on Asml here at Jan 24 pricing from an atactiveness point of view

Q: With the Nasdaq now down more than 15%, what would be your top 5 picks in the tech sector (both Canada and US) for growth given at least a 5+ year hold period?

I'm looking for stocks with great fundamentals that have just taken an unfair beating due to sector rotation and fear selling.

Q: Hi, all

I'm down 40% on SHOP. Continue to hold? It's tough to hold when it keeps dropping day after day.

Q: Down almost 50% over 52 week high. Do you believe the upcoming quarterly numbers will support some kind of strong increase? Would you be a purchaser of this company at the current price or would you wait for a lower level and if so how low would it have to go to attract your interest?

Q: A follow-up question on Shopify. If someone has already asked, disregard.
What impact will/did the news have that the company was terminating fulfilment contracts with some providers? In your opinion, is this a positive or negative? Maybe a positive that they have found a better way to do it (themselves) or a negative that things aren't working out as planned? Should the company have anticipated the reaction to the news and had a better prepared statement to deflect some of the price reaction? Finally, do you consider this a gradual buying opportunity?

Q: When higher interest rates eventually actually happen in the US, what do you think the initial reaction will be for semiconductor stocks? Will the first reaction be a dip, or perhaps they might move higher?

Are there any other events, such as an invasion of Ukraine, that you think would significantly impact the semiconductor stocks in the short term?

Q: I would like to increase my tech holdings during this sell off and I have a long term horizon and willing to take on risk.

Can you rank the following in order of preference: Shop, NVDA, Topicus, Xebec , Unity, Lightspeed, Enthusiast Gaming.

Are there any in that list that should be sold off?

Q: What are your thoughts about these comments posted by an analyst on BNN Bloomberg yesterday? Is it a speculative buy?

"Quarterhill was formerly called Wilan and owns an IP patent licensing portfolio that continues to generate lots of cash. The company has been using this cash to acquire companies in the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) industry. For example, they recently acquired ETC, which processes 17 per cent of all electronic toll lanes in the U.S. through its cloud-based platform, and they also acquired International Road Dynamics, a world leader in weight-in-motion technology and traffic data collection.
The exciting news in December is that Quarterhill announced a strategic review to sell its IP patent portfolio and become a pure play ITS company. We believe that the IP patent portfolio alone is worth what the stock is currently trading at now, and that the ITS business is worth at least another $2.50 per share. So, the stock should be trading at around $5 versus $2.60 today. We really like the upside on this stock and the fact that there is a big catalyst coming to unlock value."

Q: In terms of recovery, would it make sense to sell light speed and buy shopify, if so, when should one do that

Q: Do you see a level where Topicus is attractive.?It’s been pounded badly

Q: What is your view on the downfall of Shopify? It's dropping way more than the market weakness. I believe the fundamentals are solid but this market and shop's performance makes one think twice. What is your take on what's happening? What support level will kick in and stop the bleeding? When does it report next and what does it need to report to be classified as good results? What do you anticipate? I have a small position that is getting smaller each day and am thinking of increasing my position.

Q: For a speculative position in a Tfsa which would you recommend and reasons for choice? Thank you.

Q: Good morning
A question was recently asked concerning your preference between msft and Nvidia. You said you preferred Microsoft. I was wondering if you could elaborate on your reasons for that decision? I ask because I hold the two of them and have been thinking of selling Microsoft in order to reduce my technology component.
Thanks

Q: Hi, There are lots of high growth companies out there with little or no free cash flow. Growth investors accept this because these companies invest aggressively in their own growth, development, market position, etc.

While it's understandable that high growth companies focus on their own growth now, presumably they will eventually need to switch to other forms of capital allocation. I am wondering if you have any insight into how much confidence we should have in which of these management teams will act in the best interest of shareholders when the time comes to maximize shareholder value via other forms of capital allocation. For example, if a company reaching maturity throws most of their resources into R&D despite diminishing returns it would not be in our best interest.

I realize the answer to this isn't completely knowable, so also interested in your general thoughts on this topic.
Thanks
