Q: I'm interested in taking a position in BX. I prefer do it in my TFSA, or I could do it in my Margin if necessary - what do you suggest? Also back in Sept. you recommended it at $78-79 entry point. Would you still recommend it at that price or do you feel I should wait for a lower entry point? Do you still like this company for a long term hold? Thank you.

Q: I hold three relatively small positions in each of the above, and am wondering if you could foresee one or two of them as better outperform the market over a longterm horizon (5 plus years) and thus worth consolidating towards? Thank you

Q: On October 31 the answer to a question I read compared LNTH to LLY as LNTH was a lot cheaper and would have more upside than LLY and big named actors were using the product as opposed to plastic surgery. Then I read very recently Peter's 5 2022 best percentage gains as having Lantheus Holdings (LNTH) first as he seemed very upbeat on it and mentioned it could pause a bit after having all these gains. Here I am 3 days into owning it and it is down over 12%. I read on my online account Nov 3 earnings were reasonably good but I also read on BNN Bloomberg that their earnings were not coming out until later so am I right about the earnings coming out today and were they worse than what I interpreted? I cannot interpret these earnings reports like 5i can. After being down that much in such a short period of time, I am wondering if I should sell or hold? Thank you,

Q: Do you ever look back at some of the answers you gave to member's questions, and wonder why you were so bullish? Example: Unity Software

On March 22, 2021 when Unity was $100 you said:

"Unity gets a premium valuation as it is essentially in a global duopoly in its industry. It has more than 50% market share globally, and is in a good position to capture high growth in the market. This also gives it pricing power, and it has said it could double prices and only lose 2% of customers, but it wants to further entrench customers before it makes any price changes."

And on Dec 16, 2020 when the stock was $147 you said:

"In the gaming space, U is essentially in a global duopoly with Epic Games. Epic potentially is at a disadvantage with China trade dispute, so U's positioning in the sector is even stronger because of this. We consider it the 'Amazon' of gaming. It gets a piece of the action and makes it easier for games to launch. It is planning for the long term. Mgmt has said it could double prices and only lose 2% of customers. But it wants to firmly entrench its customers first. The stock is not cheap by any means, but revenue is expected to at least double in 18 months, and it should be profitable in 2022 or shortly thereafter."

Today the stock is $26.29. If you don't look back at your reasoning for being so bullish you won't learn. In an answer to a members question today you said Unity was a sell. What happened to your bullish view not that long ago, and holding for at least 5 years? Did you get caught up in the hype despite your decades of experience?

Q: Guidance seems to be the key factor in reporting season for tech stocks. No one cares if you beat on the current quarter, like ROKU just did. Its outlook is terrible, with higher expenses and higher losses ahead. Do you think ROKU will become a profitable business one day or will the streaming wars never end? Is the end game for ROKU a takeover by NFLX or others?

Thanks and thanks for the detailed answer on META. Time will tell if the emperor is wearing clothes.

I have held the Industrial sector stock WM for about 6 months.

What do you account this to ?
Please provide reasons and should I continue to hold?
Thanks as always.

Q: What are your thoughts on EXPI after todays earnings release? The stock has been punished this year with interest rate hikes impacting real estate markets. Does it look like a company that will do well when it comes out of this and real estate picks up or have the fundamentals and story changed here? Is this an add while its down or hold and do nothing?thx
