Q: Hello,
Could you provide your thoughts on CLSK? A clean-energy / microgrid company that acquired a miner and is now mining bitcoin, presumably more energy efficiently than other miners.
Are its financials the reason why it's valued much lower than MARA/RIOT, even though it has considerable mining capacity?
It is intriguing, but seems too speculative to buy. Would love to hear your views.

Q: Recently you mentiontionned if there was a must own stock for you, it would be Nvidia. I own Qualcomm. I have been thinking about buying Nvidia for awhile, now.

thanks for the great service

Q: I have regretted trimming one third of my UPST position when it was half way up it's run., and have been planning to buy it back at some point. I have waited for a pullback but one hasn't happened . Should or anyone consider buying at the current price for a long term hold?
Q: When I try to buy Google, it gives me a option to either buy GGOG.C
or GOOG in canadian as ALPHABET INC.CDR hedged.
Which is better for a cash account.
Also, whenever I buy any US stock, as soon as it shows up in my TD Waterhouse account, it is a couple of hundred down ( even if the stock price is the same ), why is that so.

Q: I am looking for technology companies that pay a dividend for an income portfolio, Sylogist is on my list to purchase however it is fairly small. Do you view the SYZ dividend as safe and would you buy today? Can you recommend another tech that pays a reasonable dividend (smaller but growing is fine)? Thank you.
Q: I have not had funds to start a position in APPS until today after trimming some gainers that have grown too big in my portfolio (all 5i suggestions so thank you very much!). APPS has had quite the run in the past month (up 30%). Do you see this as a BUY today? Has it run too far? Do you recommend initiating a position today or would wait for a pull back (suggest a good entry point)? Do you still like this one for the long term?
Have you seen any news on the recent decline of NVEI since Friday? Its getting close to my stop and I'm on the fence as to whether to hold or sell. Thoughts?

Q: Could you comment on Lightspeed's historical earnings, growth performance vs stated forecast, etc?
In other words how reliable has their pitch been?
As I understand, they report in a few weeks and with the Sprucepoint gun to their heads, highlighting the soft spots, this may be a critical validation day.
Q: What do you think of these two stocks and of their future a few years down the road ? Would you buy on speculation ? I am a bit of a risk taker on owning small amounts. Thanks for any info.
Q: Any sense of how low they can go and does the current 30%+ decline reflect real issues with the company and their revenue reporting etc or just a lot of panic selling? It is painful to watch and wondering if they are likely to be topped out for an extended period of time.
Q: I know this is a bit out of your focus area, but I have a small position in a small UK company called Focusrite. Have you got any opinion, Buy Hold or Sell?
