Q: In a high growth portfolio I hold the following US stocks: CRWD, GOOGL, NVO, Uber and the ETF XT. I think I would like to replace the ETF XT with a single growth stock. XT has done okay for me in that it has doubled but that took nearly 10 years. Can you recommend a faster growing US stock that would be a good fit?

Thank you.
David

Q: Just out of curiosity, what do you think about Mr. Trump’s company (Truth Social) that has recently gone public? I see that it’s up 11.99% at the moment, is it the novelty effect that’s causing this? Thank you

Q: Hi, Powell Industries seems to be in the right sector of electrical infrastructure and stock has done very well. However, as noted in your recent comments, it has been quite volatile, specially after the last quarterly results released in January.

The founder CEO, Mr Thomas Powell has sold bunch of shares in late 2023, as well over 50,000 shares, over a period of several days, between Feb and March, this year, ( $154 to $187 ). In addition, as per F144 filed on March 4, he intends to sell additional 200,000 shares, of which only 4000 shares have been sold on March 4 ( $185-$189 ). So, effectively, there continues to be an overhang of an impending sale of remaining shares, in the market.

Does it explain the sharp and precipitous decline of the stock over past 3 weeks ?

Is this a red flag and limits the future upside of this stock ?

On the bright side, Mr Powell still owns over 2.2 mln shares, which is about 22% of issued and o/s common shares of Powell Industries.

In your opinion, is the price decline of $45 from its recent high is overdone and POWL is a decent buy now, based on current valuation, minimal debt and future growth potential ?

We purchased the shares recently and own with ACB of $160 ( 1.25% weight ) to complement our HPS.a 3% position. Do you recommend holding the shares and add at current level or wait for next quarter ?

Thank You

Q: I have held Magna for multiple years, and with the execption of a surge in value three years ago (which it eventually surrendered), it is at pretty much my original purchase price. I have been considering a switch to Amazon, as I cannot think of a more dominant player in the consumer cyclical space. I had also considered starting a position in Aritzia, but I am not as confident in its profile as I am with Amazon. The position of this investment is 4% of portfolio, if the exposure level has any influence at all on the analysis. One potential tailwind for Magna could be manufacture of parts for battery electric vehicles, which should increase in demand over the next five years: my understanding is that MG provides many such parts to multiple companies that make these particular automobiles.

Would a switch from MG to AMZN be prudent, or is there a stronger case to be made for staying put? As always, thanks so much for your insights, and I look forward to your response.
