Investment Q&A

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

Q: I keep seeing CRWD come up as a good growth holding. I own the holdings mentioned earlier today in the 3 Cdn and 3 US growth recommendations, with the exception of CRWD. I'd have to sell something to buy it and own both UCTT and ICHR. I am wondering if there is some overlap between these two and whether selling one to buy CRWD is a good move - and if so, which one would be the better sell. If not, looking at CRWD peers, I also own PLTR. Would CRWD be a better growth holding than PLTR and warrant a switch?

Q: I owned Blackberry shares earlier in the year, but ended up selling in June after the stock had reached $20 per share. I had previously purchased around $10 per share earlier in the year. The share price as been in a downward fall since the meme spikes. I was considering opening another position if the stock slides below $10 again. Do you see that as a good entry point? Would you say that Blackberry still has longer term potential?

Q: My Material's weighting is a little light and I am mulling over a purchase of LGO to balance out some gold stocks. I notice LGO's stock spiked in 2019 and then collapsed. Would you advise me that the spike, collapse and now climb-out is just a typical roller coaster Material company ride - ie the ride comes with the territory? In addition I am uncertain how much faith I should put into LGO's newish battery technology. "Green Technology" also seems to be another version of a roller coaster ride. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: MAGT After reading your earlier comments on the company, I got some interest and looked at the company's Investor Presentation and News etc at its website.
In one of the Slides in the Presentation, a page relating to 'Competition' had been deleted and a reference was made to the Preliminary Prospectus in Sedar, that I could not access. I have two questions:
1. While the past performance of MAGT is impressive, one needs to look at the future prospects. In this regard, we must know about the competitive mote this company has against others, if any. Do you have any information about the competition?
2. The top 3 executives own now 80% of the stock. Is there a possibility that they will unload their stocks, if stock price shoots up substantially. Also, how much one can trust on Jim Balsillie (former RIM founder) to stick with this investment.
Appreciate your reasoned comments and reply.
Thanks and regards

Q: Can you speak to the class-action lawsuit filed against Coinbase?

What do you think of the future prospects for Coinbase? Their fees appear high relative to the competition, and the threat of commission free (or low fee) crypto exchanges looms large. Competitors, such as Kraken, are preparing to follow suit and go public. Is the Coinbase business model and continued growth rate sustainable?

Q: Hello,
I was lucky enough to invest in NVIDIA 3-4 years ago but it has grown to around 15% of my portfolio. I’m considering trimming it to 6-7%. I want to replace with other companies in the tech sector, which ones would you recommend for a 10+ year hold? My only other tech holding is Kinaxis.
Thank you for your help.

Q: During the last earnings season many stocks were surging and then retreated after good reports, including Shopify. Not a typical pattern from my understanding. Shopify is currently surging again, is the same pattern going to repeat this time? Impossible question I know, but is a similar pattern emerging currently?
Thanks Peter.
