Q: Peter;;What do you make of the voting today (Dec21) re refusal,on the 600k options plus weak votes for certain directors- will institutions sell on this ? Rod

Q: Hi 5i,
I’m in the process of rebalancing my RRSP and TFSA and looking to be greedy while others are fearful.
Specifically moving TD, FTS, T, and LNF to an RRSP so that my TFSA can be growth oriented.
My remaining TFSA positions would be as follows:
- Half Positions: NVEI, EGLX, LSPD, WELL, U, APPS, BAM.A, SIS, DND, BYD, MITK
- Full Positions: GSY, TOI, CRWD, ATZ

I am planning to deploy as follows:
- Complete existing positions: NVEI, LSPD, APPS, U
- New Partial Positions: AT, XYL
- New Full Positions: DOL, SHOP, VEEV, ANRG, ATD, TIXT
Would you swap out anything on this list that would better compliment my existing positions? I have a 10+ year horizon so I’m leaning towards aggressiveness.

Thanks!

Q: DND has a short record being public, but do you have a sense yet whether management's interests are fairly well aligned with investors, or that they will be investor friendly? It did not feel 'investor friendly' when they conducted the recent strategic review on going private. Thanks!

Q: I assume the conference call was well received, judging by the reaction of the stock price today?

Q: Can you comment on the aquisition .

Thank you

Q: Which of these two do you like better for Value, Growth and upside potential(and what ever other criteria you would apply) over the next 2-5yrs?

Q: 10:55 AM 11/15/2021
I am interested in Canadian companies that stockpile data and business information and provide this information on a one-time or subscription basis for reoccurring income. It seems they have strong moats
I really like dividends but I sense that these may all really all growth companies except for ISV
I am currently looking at DND, TRI, and ISV so far
Are there other companies with similar businesses?
Could you please compare all these companies for expected share price growth, debt, POR, dividend growth, etc., and place them in a list of desirability.
Is it better to forego a nice dividend as in ISV, and just go for growth?
If that's the case then why not just cut to the chase and buy CSU in our TFSAs and wait 10+ years?
Thank you.......... Paul W. K.

Q: Hi Peter,

What is your brief overall take should the following stocks be part of one's investment portfolio?

High risk is tolerable and time horizon is greater than 5 years.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter,

Some time back i asked a question about DND having a so called "position of power", whereby, they could raise prices as get away with it as there is not much competition. Your response was along the lines of : that they should be careful in raising prices as there are other options out there. Your words are reading like a prophecy.

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Nov. 12, edition that Dye & Durham has told about1,000 B.C. firms that it was sharply increasing the price of the software they use to handle real estate transactions. The Globe's Sean Silcoff and Jaren Kerr write that as of this Friday, they will be charged $199 per file, up from the $30 to $75 they have been paying since the last increase in 2017. The ultimate cost will be passed on to their customers, home buyers. Dye & Durham has made a string of acquisitions in the legal software space. It now faces little competition. Outraged conveyancers, notaries and lawyers inundated Dye & Durham with calls. Moderators of two Facebook groups for B.C. real estate professionals told The Globe that 50 of their members had complained to the Competition Bureau of Canada. Bureau spokesman Amy Butcher said the bureau would start "a thorough examination of the facts to determine if an investigation is warranted." Eight B.C. real estate legal professionals who spoke to The Globe said many of their colleagues shared their negative views of Dye & Durham price hikes. One conveyancer said, "Everybody is really angry, really disappointed."

Does DND have a monopoly and what are your views?

Thanks,

Q: Hello, I own equal amounts in ATD.B. DOL, WSP, TFII, ATA and NVEI. If you were to sell 2-4 and replace them with higher growth stocks like LSPD, GSY, BAM.A, or DND, without taking into account portfolio weighting, what would you do?

Thanks,

Q: I read your answer on DND this morning and you noted they missed EPS expectations.

I was trying to figure that out after the earnings were released yesterday but it seems pretty muddy to me with the shares, debentures, diluted eps/non diluted etc. The EPS expected on the TD site was 21cents and if you take shares outstanding (listed on TD at 68.1m) I get 32cents EPS on income of 22.1m.

So to break that down what did you see as the expected EPS and on what basis was it?

Also I cannot find any information on the debentures (other than the amount raised and the nominal denomination) and at what rate/level they are convertible. Do you have that information?

Q: Hi,

The quarterly results looked great to me.

Could you please share your brief overview?

Thanks,

Q: Would you start a position in Dye & Durham

Q: Hi Peter snd Staff

Building on a ranking question yesterday I own DND in my tech basket but not CTS

I’m not worried about a couple of $9.99 charges and taxes are not a consideration

Can you please expand on CTS over DND

Thanks for all you do
Dennis
