Investment Q&A

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

Q: I held equal positions in Crwd Ftnt and Panw. Last week I trimmed 1/3 of my Crwd at 363 when it bounced up for a large gain. Crwd has dropped back a bit to the 320s. I am thinking of selling my Panw at a small gain and buying back my Crwd and adding to Ftnt.
What do you think of this plan? I appreciate all your good advice.
Thanks Peter

Q: Hello Peter,
I know you have answered this about Topicus special dividend. I find it odd that in the early stages of the company's existence , it is paying out a special dividend. Could this be a sign that the company sees little appetite for acquiring companies and will focus on organic growth? What is a good etf that excludes the magnificent 7 , SPY minus magnificent 7.. Appreciate it and thanks for the service.

Q: It will be added to the S&P500 Index on March 18th 2024. For funds and ETF that purchase stocks in the S&P500 do they have to wait until March 18th to buy or can they start now based on the upcoming addition? Also the daily volume for SMIC was ~11.5M on March 8th, what factors will that have when it is added will there be a need for more shares etc? Finally, the recent 5i US webinar there was mention of on-shoring of chip production into the US, will this be a tailwind for SMCI vs NVDA who does most of their manufacturing overseas?

Q: Hi, so, I know I can find out about insider trades on 5i or SEDI. But are there other resources to tell you if certain non insiders are buying big chunks of stock?
The last few days there has been quite a bit of buying on Sangoma, on very little news that I can see. It's great as the price is up quite a bit, but I'm intrigued to learn more but don't know where to look.
I suppose that may be the point though!
If nothing there, any thoughts on why sangoma is moving so much these days?

Q: Digital Currency

With the long-rumored conversion of US currency to digital format, and presumably Canadian followup, what types of companies will most profit from these changes and what specific recommendations do you have? Are there any overall structural changes to handling a portfolio that you suggest?
Thanks for your ongoing great service.

Q: Buffet likes to invest in companies with a moat and hold long term. He has a position in SNOW. Some analysts are calling into question the moat of SNOW. Do you know if SNOW has a decent moat or are they in what is essentially a commodity type business, in which case their margins will be eroded over time?

Thanks.

Q: I’ve seen some analysts on TV talk about price targets for NVDA into the thousands (one as high as $8000). Is this even remotely possible? That would make it the largest company by market cap a few times over. I know it has increased significantly in the past couple of years, but at some point it can’t keep on doubling, can it?
