Investment Q&A

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

Q: HI,
Is there a future for small EV manufacturers? Most of them are bankrupt or doing poorly (VMC, LEV, RIVN,NIO,LCID). I owned NFI in the past. Seems one of the last survivors, besides large American (TSLA, F, GM) or Chinese companies (LI, BYD). Would you invest in this sector, if somebody does not want to support chinese businesses? Which stocks would you find interesting right now, or post-Trump taking office? Could be stocks related to the sector, but less sensitive. Thanks a lot.

Q: 1. What percentage do you advise allocating to discretionary sector.
2. Included are non-US names because of pricing power/ controlled supply. If I missed any from your favs, please add to the list.
3. Recently you answered my question on industrial stocks based on
a) core [large, defensive names]
b) high growth regardless of size
c) recent strength and positive momentum.
Applying that to my list of discretionary stocks, please rank in each category (1-3, with 1 strongest)
Thanks
Sam

Q: Hi,

I have had Heico on my watchlist for quite some time but never purchased any because of the premium valuation. Everything I read about it (including the questions/answers on 5i) is positive so I'm wondering if it is one of those stocks that warrants a premium valuation, ie. will always be expensive?

I do own some Ferrari (RACE) shares which have done well for me and are also at a premium valuation, but it seems (at least so far) that it deserves the premium. Same story for my Tesla shares. So I am wondering if Heico is similar to RACE and Tesla in that way? Would you consider a purchase of Heico for a growth investor with a long time frame?

Thank you,

Q: Hi, A follow-up to your response to Valtar’s recent question about the debt vs. cash flow for Race:

In Euros, RACE has net debt of E1.3B, vs rolling 12-month cash flow to March 31 of E1.3B.

In layperson language, could you comment on these numbers? I’m not sure how to interpret them. Thanks,

Q: Could you please share your top 3 picks in the luxury goods "sector"? Please order starting with the best and a (very) brief reason for the pick (if I'm not asking too much and the time allows). Got interested because, it seems to me, that the wealthy and the luxury companies they're buying things from are doing just fine, recession or not.
Many thanks!
