Q: Buy Kinaxis, Descartes or both?

Q: The reaction today the 20th is not consistent to reported results.
Any insight to make sense of the trading.

Q: Good day. Today (June 20, 2024) nvidia stock dropped about 3.5%: however, the Nvidia CDR that we acquire in Canadian dollars dropped almost double this amount. Normally the ADR stock moves pretty much in line with the US stock. Is there any reason for this difference today? I believe I saw something similar a fews days ago with some other stock (or etf?). Thanks again.

Q: Would you please provide an update on CXM (Sprinklr)? Is it time to cut my losses and move on?

Q: Hi, Celestica stock declined sharply, 5.5% in Thursday's trading. Following an afternoon reversal of many high flying semi names, the peripherals also followed suit and lost ground. Do you think, CLS's drop was also simply sector related or it had something to do with company's announcement of upsizing their Bank Credit facility to $1.5 Billion ?

Thank You

Q: AMD’s share price has been going downwards, a direction opposite to most other major semiconductor companies. AMD’s business model seems sound and its newer chips, expected later this year, are said to be slimmer, more heat-efficient and much faster. Those chips should thus be in higher demand by manufacturers of PCs, and servers. Newer AI-equipped PCs need more powerful semis, and AMD is major supplier. Although AMD’s share price was up significantly in recent years, I have a rather large holding and large loss (down 22% in months-- unusual for semi companies). I read numerous analyst reports, 10Ks , other SEC filings and miscellaneous financial reviews. AMD sounds like a great business , so I wonder what I am missing. Granted, the business’ recent financials were poor , and unexpectedly below expectations. I am undecided whether to add to my position or harvest a tax loss. I am reluctant to sell just for tax reasons. Could be hard to get back in as good , high growth companies tend to run away from you.

1. I would appreciate your insight (substance please).
2. Financial ratios I have seen vary more than usual , surprisingly so, including data in otherwise reliable sources. Please, what do you show for :
Trailing P/E,
Forward P/E,
PEG ratio
3. Are you reasonably confident in AMD’s business model, and demand for its upcoming products-- the company's prospects?
Many thanks.

Q: Can you please compare the fundamentals of AMD vs QCOM for a five year hold? Which one would you recommend to hold? Thank you.

Q: My patience with what appears to be a much loved KXS is now pretty much stretched.

I am told their business is on a solid footing and they are fundamentally doing well? So, is there a reason it has been sitting on the sidelines during this broad rally?

Q: Good morning,

I was wondering if you could look in to your crystal ball and predict where we may find KXS 5-10-15 years from now....not necessarily the price, but just in general.

To me, it seems like KXS is not widely known, but is establishing itself as a quiet market leader. I like that they don't issue shares. What could the future hold - a take-out candidate? a dividend? dual-listing? I know they make some acquisitions, but will they continue to make more? Could this be an international leader in supply-chain one day? With a market cap of aprox. $4.3 billion could it one day scale to a larger Canadian tech name (e.g. $10 billion+)? Will that PE ratio ever come down? I know there is a report on it, just more considering what the future may hold....

Q: As you are well aware, Bitcoin has been taking off all over the world. When I watch interviews of people at conventions, it appears most are investing to protect against inflation and to counter the demise of the US dollar in the future. What are you're opinions on this? I realize it has been very volatile and risky, so do have any recommendations on technology linked to Bitcoin, but so far hasn't taken off?

thanks,

Paul

Q: Thanks to your sage advice, I am up significantly (again) on NVDA. Last year, I let it run up to 10% of my holdings, sold half and purchased VRT (now up 30%). NVDA has now increased to 8% of my portfolio. I understand there are multiple drivers currently at work turbo-charging the price of this stock (earnings, stock split, upcoming DOW listing, forced acquisition by ETFs, etc.). All this prompts three questions. How large would YOU let your NVDA grow as a percentage of your portfolio before trimming? Assuming you wanted to trim, when do you think the stock price will start leveling off (assuming the absence of black swan events)? If you wanted to take some profit and invest it outside tech, what would be your three highest conviction US stocks today? AMZN, MSFT, VRT, GOOG, V, and J already held. Thank you.

Q: Would you buy this today or would you add more nvda? I also have avgo in the semi space along with smci. Maximum growth potential is my primary consideration followed close second by not wanting undue risk. Thank you.

Jaso

Q: Decent last Q,but declined again after initial rise.A relative underpreformer who did not take the opportunity to make material acquisitions in a ripe envIironment.It Txs for U usual great services & views

Q: Ross Healy on BNN reports that he has sold all his NVDA shares. Would you comment on his thesis?

Q: How much longer would you let CLS run with a 7% position now in your growth portfolio?

Thx
