Q: I’ve been overweight technology (as some have done really well) and looking to diversify/rebalance into some more lower risk investments. What are your thoughts of the three waste-related companies here? They have all seemed to struggle this year, with WM falling significantly recently. Is there a good buying here dor some, and if so, which do you prefer?

Q: Conspiracy Theory???
For decades I have heard and read that JPM, as a bullion bank, has an enormous inventory of silver bullion actually owned by the firm. This is in addition to the bullion they store for other parties making a nice fee. Further, it is suggested that JPM backstops other institutions that may require an infusion of bullion to meet an emergent demand. ie. The London Metal Exchange. Fortunately, this rumour was what motivated me to choose JPM as my US bank stock a 2+ decades aqo.
I have searched JPM's 2004 Annual Report (330+ pages) in vain looking for some record of massive silver holding which would show up as a major asset on the Balace Sheet. As the price of silver has appreciated I would expect that this growing value would be reflected in the financial statements.
Can you explode the myth or confirm any of the above?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Good morning;

I am doing some rebalancing of my portfolio. In light of my views on world events over the next 3-5 years I am looking for the top 3 "Consumer Defensive" stocks. I believe there to be risk in the US dollar over this period so would appreciate your recommendations on 3 Canadian and 3 American consumer defensive stocks and what makes them a consideration.

As always, thanks for your insights!

Q: Happy Halloween 5i!

I’ve had Cellebrite for over a year now and it’s been largely flat floating between 16 and 20 bucks a share.
It seems to have great growth with high gross margins and reoccurring growth from its subscriptions.
However, investors don’t seem to be excited about it, could this be because of the reliance on the public service (high bureaucracy).
Or is it that they are not hugely profitable on a net income basis?
I know you folks like this company and I do too, just can’t figure out its lack of interest and am wondering if my money may work “better” in other stocks. (Though I know the value of patience can be very rewarding in investing so I’m trying to be disciplined!) :)

Can you tell me what the street expects on earnings this coming month?

Thanks folks - I hope you enjoy some Halloween treats with your coffee today!

Q: Juste a note that Shane was asking if you would endorse a buy based on the drop. Your answer was thorough but did not state what you would advise at todays price:

Q: Hi Team,
Meta took a 15B one time non cash tax hit as a result of trumps “big beautiful bill”. What does this really mean non cash? Why aren’t other companies reporting the same type of hit? Aren’t all companies under the same tax rules? This news seems to be scewing strong operational results and causing a big share price drop. Looks like a buying opportunity to me. Do you agree?

Shane
