Investment Q&A

Q: I’ve been very fortunate with LSPD since I first bought it at $18 and continued to buy on the way up to $65. I’m up over 130% overall. But now to tough part...when to sell. It seems that it has a very long runway and because of that, i’m hesitant to sell a single share. I have it in multiple accounts ( about 3/4 in a tfsa, and 1/4 in a LIRA ). I’m 47 and 10 year away (I hope) from retirement but consider myself an aggressive investor and have some stomach for volatility (how can you not during these times) Given where the SP is today, where do you see the stock going in the next 2-3years? Would you sell and buy something else? Or, let it run? Looking for ideas.

Q: I have a DOY balanced portfolio (Alpha-Balanced for guidance) , with less than 10 year timeframe.
I’m underweight communication services, and energy. Not a fan at this stage of oil or precious metals. Overweight in industrials and technology.
My concern is with my overweight in technology. Reading a number of opinion articles that refer to the tech boom as another dot.com. The reply often is oh but this is different.
Here’s my two cents worth especially related to tech stocks I own. First of all investors/traders seem to be jumping in and out of technology based on the latest COVID-19 / vaccine news.
Re KXS; will still be in demand long after Covid-19. LSPD; somewhat sensitive to Covid-19 but have done a good job diversifying and adapting restaurant services etc. Will do well in recovery.
Maybe more acquisitions.
SHOP; like Amazon will carry on even though the valuation is high. Younger generation will still shop on line.
Now comes the tricky part. WELL and VEEV. I don’t quite have a handle on. Not sure if the demand for their service will still be there post COVID-19.
Your comments and/or thought would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling that many of your clients would be interested in what you have to say.
I’m an experienced investor but don’t have access to the kinds of info I once did. I depend a great deal on your unbiased expert opinion.
Merry Christmas

Q: Hi,
I am trying to look at the stocks I own , not merely as 'stocks" but rather as an investment in a good business. When I look at it that why, I am inclined not to sell indiscriminately irrespective if the stocks have gone up or not. Generally, if I do sell, I realize that I had made a terrible mistake in doing so, after the fact.
To my limited knowledge I do look to 5i for guidance.
Would you consider the stocks I have listed , to be those that represent "good businesses" and that are worth holding even 5 or 10 years out?

Thanks

Q: Finished reading the book 100 Baggers and it was a great read. Good to know lots of companies achieved these level of returns. You just have to find a few and hold on.

One of the book suggestion is to focus on smaller market cap companies which can grow over time among other metrics. Looking at some of the recent IPO that came to market with 20B+ market cap and SNOW hitting 100B makes you wonder if some of these newer IPO's can get you 100 Baggers returns.

My questions are as follows:
Do you see market cap playing less of a role going forward and investors will just pay up for growth? Maybe instead of putting 10K in the stock you may have to invest 20-30K to get that capital to compound to 1M without having a 100 bagger.

Finally, just for fun if you were to guess at a few name in the US or Canada that has 100 bagger potential what would they be? I see SHOP, TTD and WELL as having a shot.

Thanks

Q: Are these 2 companies familiar with each other. Will NVEI have any affect on LSPD. Looks like it just public on middle of september at a very high price of over $41.00 per share and it seems like it is still climbing. Would you have any thoughts on this company i know it is to new and risky, if i can just have your thoughts on it please.

Q: Good afternoon Peter & Team,

LSPD. has gone up quite a bit recently. Please provide you comments on if further gains are possible based n earnings, etc. Or do you think I should sell as it has doubled since I bought it.
Thank you as usual,

Rossana.

Q: Hi there,

Shopify has performed remarkably well since IPO and I noticed you've moved it from your growth portfolio and into the balanced equity portfolio. In terms of total stock price appreciation from here, which of the 2 do you think will outperform over the next 5 years? In your personal opinion, which would you buy today?

Thanks!

Q: I need to raise some cash. Could you recommend which 6 of the above list you would sell first. Keeping in mind that I would be rebuying some of those as cash again becomes available.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: You recently responded to a question regarding Lightspeed: "We don't typically get scared off by stock strength, and that would be the case today. We might do a partial position as it is not going to be a one way up move for this stock."

My question is: Given your theoretical perspective of NOT averaging down, what would be the point of buying an initial partial position? It seems to me that you may as well just purchase your whole position right at the start rather than holding back for a later purchase (always at a higher price, because you don't average down).

Am I missing something? Could you elaborate and clarify please.

Q: Who are lspd’s competitors? You often here the company being compared to Shopify but isn’t it more similar to Square, which has also been surging higher recently. Thank you so much for recommending Lspd and all the excellent work you do, particularly your ins
