Investment Q&A

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

Q: Main question: Is there a sense of roughly how long it will take 'clear' the class action suits being brought against LSPD?

Also:
- Do you have a sense of what a defense would cost? 5-10 million?
- Are these lawsuits enough of a distraction to *impact performance* or will they simply be an exercise for accounting and a few of lawyers?
- Lastly, what is the success rate of these sorts of lawsuits in extracting compensation?

Thanks!

Q: Your answer to a member's question on LSPD and NVEI being "expensive stocks" and your interpretaion they are still considered expensive ones inspite of selling at roughly 1/3 of their peak prices, is not understandable as there are many non software companies whose stocks are selling at around 15-20 times their sales. Why don't we admit that it is the short attack as the only reason for this decline instead of beating around the bush.

Q: Hi 5i,
I sometimes have trouble following your metrics. Yesterday, in an answer to Steve, you said that LSPD and NVEI were still expensive at 9x and 8x sales respectively. That makes sense and with little difference in the two. When I look at the 5i members’ database, I see LSPD at 16 x sales and NVEI at 6x sales. Here, NVEI is clearly the cheaper of the two. This makes it difficult sometimes to assess a company. Why the differences?
Thanks again.

Q: Both companies are trading at roughly a third of their 52 week highs. Being such you have answered recent questions saying they are expensive. I assumed they wouldn't be. At what price are they not expensive and what metric do you use for this. I'm trying to improve my investing skills and make some sense of this.

Thanks Steve

Q: Hi,
Currently holding around 25% tech exposure, long term growth investor. If I wanted to de-leverage my portfolio and rebalance to some other sectors, how would you rank these tech stocks?

Do you have any fundamental concerns about any of the names held or is this a good list? NVDA is on my list of names to own as well. Thank you!

Q: Strongly considering buying back the 40% I sold few months ago due to in rease in share price, used procedes to to open new didvdend position.
This would bring me back to just under 4% weighting and reduce overall cost per share about 10% on LSPD.
I beleive they will return to previous highs and go beyond, I'm okay with it's volatility, see it as another GSY growth wise and not as bumpy, can I get you comments.

Q: Since both stocks have been hit hard of late - for similar reasons. Which stock would you think has the best chance of short-term recovery and long-term success. I own some NVEI shares but was wondering if it might be good to trigger the loss and replace with LSPD shares if it had a stronger outlook. Or if going a more conservative route - what 3 or 4 stocks would you say have decent growth prospects and good valuations and could pick up a decent amount of shares if have about $5k?

Q: Its great when companies that are under short attack, such as LSPD and now also NVEI, post earnings in successive quarters to prove up their business and invalidate the short thesis. But why stop there? Why do these companies not take the opportunity to very aggressively buy back their own shares? Even if it requires adding some leverage to the balance sheet with cheap debt if needed. Reducing the float is good for earnings, good for existing shareholders and very bad for short sellers.

The passive response of Canadian companies under attack invites more attacks. Carl Ichan killed some very committed shorts in Herbalife, a truly garbage company, using more aggressive tactics.

Thanks.
