Q: Water cooler talk at my son in law’s employment at one of the Mag 7 companies was strongly in favour of the notion that CSU’s price decline is largely due to a drying up of companies for them to buy. Do you attach much, if any, credibility to this thesis?
Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi. I've built positions across the digital asset and payments ecosystem that I'd appreciate your perspective on. My current holdings include: direct Bitcoin ownership (DCA monthly for store of value), FETH (smart contract infrastructure exposure), GLXY (institutional crypto services plus AI compute optionality), and PYPL (established fintech playing multiple angles; PYUSD stablecoin, BNPL, crypto trading, traditional payments, and I use PYPL quite a lot myself). I do also own JPM.
I'm considering adding CRCL but struggling with the valuation at 79x forward earnings (although it is 31x 2 years forward). My thesis is that I already capture stablecoin growth multiple ways; FETH captures a lot of stablecoin volume, GLXY services institutional stablecoin users, and PYPL's PYUSD gives me direct issuer exposure with less regulatory risk since they have diversified revenue streams.
CRCL feels like paying growth multiples for what I think might become a "utility-like" business earning regulated fees. Also, if stablecoins become critical infrastructure the regulatory hammer could fall hardest on pure-play issuers like Circle versus diversified players.
I think my current portfolio seems to cover the bases; Bitcoin for macro crypto adoption, Ethereum for DeFi/Web3 infrastructure, GLXY for the picks-and-shovels institutional play, and PYPL for the mainstream fintech integration angle (+ maybe JPM).
Am I missing something by passing on CRCL? I'm interested your thoughts on whether CRCL offers unique exposure I'm not getting elsewhere? Or if there is something I am overlooking?

Q: I’m considering selling half of my Lumine and Topicus to add to my Dollarama or WSP Global in this time of volatility. Thoughts ???
Q: I am down 40% with LMN, with the recent sell offs of both CSU and LMN, would you see this as good opportunity to 1. DCA aggressively with LMN as we're expecting a bounce back in the near future. 2. DCA LMN moderately and open a new position in CSU to then hold both CSU and LMN 3. DCA slightly with LMN and open a bigger position with CSU.
Would you see owning both CSU and LMN as a good decision? Is there one you would own over the other?
I am a long term investor and not necessarily worried about the short term downfall we've experienced.
Thanks!

Q: what are your thoughts about the earnings, is it a buy, sell or hold?
Q: Hi, thoughts on the 1/4 please. Do financials still appear on track?
I thought at one time 5i indicated that they are/were nearing profitability. 5i's Company EPS estimates page shows fy2025 and fy2026 still at a loss of .08 and .07 cents, respectively.
I do own the stock and was accumulating around the $4.50-5 but they are down a fair bit from the 52 week high now. Stay the course?
cheers,
Steve

Q: CSU and TOI are slowly starting to recover but not LMN. Also I see now that there is a constant seller fo LMN at $25.70 and they are putting blacks of 5K and 10K to sell.
Do you think this is a fund trying to get out and also do funds also sell for end of the year tax selling purposes?
thanks

Q: Why is this performing so poorly lately? I’m down 20% and am tempted to sell it because crypto and the market are ripping higher today and Galaxy is down!
Q: I've been amused by the latest Tesla news in regard to the new pay for musk. Correct me if I'm wrong but the latest earnings for Tesla is around a 100 billion dollars. If the pay for musk goes into effect that would leave Tesla in a deficit of approximately 900 billion dollars. Now I know there is more to this than meets the eye, so could you please explain how Tesla intends to square this circle.
