Investment Q&A

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

Q: How should one employ the forward price to sales multiple to determine value? What I’m trying to figure out is when to avoid a stock that has gone over its skis as they say. Take stocks from ultra to pstg to Crwd - we go from 1 x earnings to 23 x. By that gauge, one presumably buy Ultra. But when I think of value, I remember how I once bought Rim over Apple because the former looked cheaper. Can you comment on any guideline for us of this metric? Thank you,

Jason

Q: I know you guys try to answer exactly the question that was asked, which is good. However, I was surprised to see BB in a recent answer to your favourite Canadian companies that offer disruptive technology (AI, quantum, other). In the past, you were always negative on BB for its poor earnings record and shrinking revenue base, etc. Are you getting more positive on BB’s growth prospects or perhaps there are not that many Canadian companies to satisfy the question? Also, what would be your top 5 U.S. disruptive names, where the pickings are a lot thicker?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi,

The last time you were asked for your thoughts about BB was a few months ago when it was trading for a shade over $12, and you rated it as one of your least attractive.

Have your thoughts changed after it has shed further 30% of its price?

I sold a small holding at ~$27.00 in Jan21 (after getting in at ~$13 in '18) during its meme-stock craze. I think it's susceptible to another such a run-up, given its legitimately-sexy reputation/past performance.

Question: Does BB's current price justify re-initiating a I-don't-care-if-it-goes-to-zero position of 3% of my otherwise-conservative portfolio (50% defensive, 30% cash, 20% fixed income)?

Thanks, and please keep up the good work.
