Q: Hey Team,

I realize you have moved on from GUD, and I can understand, although I feel that you may have given up just before the value realization.

Am I reading their statements correctly in that they have over $5 per share on just current assets, and another $5 in long term assets?

This is on an arguably improving landscape for the company over the next 12 months?
Seems way too cheap to ignore, when fundamentals have turned positive, no?

Q: Now that Knight is no longer part of the BEPORT is 5i looking at a sector replacement and if so what is it? If not, since we are not restricted by borders, should we look to the U.S. for a sector weight?

Q: hello 5i:
We've held GUD since 2014; one of the very few losers in a mostly, 5i recommended and diverse portfolio. Its shrunk to a less than 1% holding. Would you now be fine letting this go to add to a 1.5% position in WELL, realizing there may be a valuation difference? Thanks for your good work over the years. hello 5I:
just asked this question and should have included other health care holdings so you could assess properly. MRK, ABBV and VEEV in equal amounts. WELL at a smaller position. Please include this info with my previous question when answering.
thanks

Q: Hello,
I am trying to understand "hidden? value" from your viewpoint vs out of favor with the market.
REAL.to has lost close to 60% of it's value in the past year while many other assets have been rocketing up creating a massive opportunity cost for holding it(with no dividend). A month ago REAL was #10 in your top 10 in response to a questioner.
In the case of GUD, it seems the reputation of JG creates the expectation of an encore performance and periodic insider buys, and micro press releases temper the stock price decline from no real news.
Are there any tangible/intangible factors that would compel someone to make a contrarion investment in REAL at this point?

Thank you

Q: As a follow up to my previous question regarding the number of stocks, which two stocks do you have the highest conviction in if the goal is pure growth over the next 10+ years (GUD, EGLX, APPS, NVEI, and TOI)

Q: Assuming you could keep track of N companies, would it not make sense to own as many as possible if business fundamentals are good, the price is reasonable, and you have the funds? This is compared to trying to select which specific company to add to or purchase from a basket of options. My understanding is that often a few really great companies can end up carrying your portfolio and make up for the losers (I believe this was from Peter Lynch's book). The reason I'm asking is because I look at more volatile growth stocks like APPS, AT, NVEI, EGLX, TOI and GUD , and keep asking myself that question. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Q: Endo Pharma tanked on Friday (down one-third) after announcing the hiring of a Restructuring Advisor. Do you think they will survive?
Of course, this revives the "will Knight ger Paladin" question.
I have always thought Endo would never sell to Knight because they would be embarrassed after paying so much for the company to Goodman and Co...
I guess it's now if ever...

Q: I've just started to look into GUD and I'm trying to understand why the shares have been trading down since 2017. From what I can see, earnings and revenue have been climbing, they've beaten EPS estimates the last 5 quarters, insiders are buying, the company is buying back shares, management has a good track record....what is the bull thesis or what am I missing?

Q: I would like to double my Health sector % as recommended by Portfolio Analytics. I could also increase US portion of my portfolio but either Can or US is fine.
Current holdings and percentage of total portfolio are:
GUD (.75%), WELL (2.85%), ABBV (.81%)
Could increase existing holdings but have also been looking at US stocks CI and MED.
Your thoughts on approach and recommendations, including additions/deletions/other equities I have not mentioned would be appreciated. Dividend is not essential.
As always, many thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
Can you comment on Greenlane's earnings release? Is it worth adding to it? Also, for Nuvei and Well, are both worth adding or just a hold for now? With current numbers for knight, beating on eps and revenues, do you think the company is finally showing signs of upward movement in the stock price ( it is up but are things looking good now). On my last question on Enthusiast Gaming,, is the stock a hold now and any ideas as to why it was not one of the takeover targets ( i know it is speculation but why would you think score over eglx). Much appreciated for your comments.
