Q: Hi team,
I have not asked about ROKU since May. I have a sizeable position in it as I like its prospects as a major platform provider in the TV streaming space. It has done well this year and every time I am thinking about trimming back, I read another article touting its takeout potential due to its attractive position in the space. There was an article in Barron’s this week speculating that ROKU is now big enough to interest any one of the big tech/media giants. Even AMZN is viewed as a potential buyer even though it is a competitor with its Fire TV services. I know you guys don’t like picking stocks for their buyout potential, but I am wondering about your current outlook on ROKU. It never shows up on your list of favourite U.S. growth stocks and subscribers ask that question almost every week. Is it on your B list?
Thanks again,
dave

Q: With all the subsidies benefiting US car industry. Do you think it is beneficial to start a position on a company like GM?
Or, Would it be better to invest in companies which develop autonomous cars? Can you suggest any such names of software or hardware for autonomous vehicles? I already have a half position in MG.

Q: I got LEN as part of the Calatlantic takeover which I did quite well on. But these homebuilder stocks are having trouble getting a bid - even when they beat their estimates. I understand what interest rate hikes do to the affordability of their products but those hikes have been gradual and very well communicated. I know US stocks aren't your bread and butter, but am I missing something? is it more about LEN you think?

Q: I was following this company IOTS due to its positioning in the internet of things space. I was looking at the company balance sheet and it seems to have reasonable revenues yet a negative cash flow. Do you think this company is a reasonable small cap buy? Are there any other companies in this space you suggest buying instead?

Q: Thanks for the News Update. and it mentions adding Industrials. For that last few weeks, I'm pondering adding industrial positions to my balanced, diversified US portfolio. I assigned a 15% weighting to the US industrial sector. My current positions are UTX at 4.6% weighting and FDX at 2.6% These two total 7.2% and as a result, I could add 7.8%. Please provide a few US names in this sector for my consideration, including adding to bring FDX to 4%........Appreciate you insights....Tom

Q: PETS has attractive fundamentals, including for example : high ROE, strong balance sheet, a business model that appears to have much promise for the future. The market is not impressed and continues aggressively to push share price down-down-down. Please have a look at your Bloomberg and do tell: what am missing! I like the numbers, the business and am tempted to initiate a position. I am interested in buying but hesitate because the market at large is ignoring--- if not rudely shunning--- this company. What risks do I not see? The business model SEEMS good. Do you think its moat to be reasonably attractive? Does this venture have good prospects going forward?

Q: Lads the above are my US dollar income tilt portfolio holdings. My goal is to add some US cash to stable dividend payers (some of these and perhaps some others you can suggest). Two questions I have - first, could you possibly rank these 9 from most stable to least so I can consider which ones are the most stable to add to my current holding and second, can you recommend some other US equities providing a minimum 3% dividend that you view as stable holdings. Thanks as always for your guidance.
