Investment Q&A

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

Q: When researching investing strategies there is a lot of talk about investment discipline. Would you mind sharing yours? Specifically on your expensive and successful pics (ex: lsp,shop,etc) And if, as a group you each have different ones, maybe you could give a couple. For instance, do you use or like the idea of trailing stops or is it simply adhering to 20 stock 5% weightings and letting some run hot occasionally before paring them back.
Thx

BY WITH DRAWING $5,000 AT A TIME SHE WILL PAY 10% OVER THE COUNTER FEES. BUT OUR BROKER TOLD US THAT HER SECOND WITHDRAW THEY WOULD TAKE 20% INSTEAD OF 10% I FIND IT LITTLE STRANGE BECAUSE IN THE PAST I WITH DREW $5,000 AT A TIME TO ONLY PAY 10%. OR HAS SOMETHING CHANGED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

Q: Your opinion please on recent IPO cell therapy company, Century Therapeutics and most especially any comments on their most interesting takeover of small private Canadian company Empirica which was purchased last June. I understand that the former Empirica (U of T & McMaster talent) takeover involved in innovative brain cell molecular identification was a big lever to go public .

Thanks for all your wisdom,

Q: May I have your latest thoughts on UFS? In 2020 you were fairly negative on their debt...is that still your position? Over the past month I have seen the stock hit new 52 week highs...do you have any idea what is driving the stock higher?

Is UFS simply a material stock which is now bouncing hard now or is there something more to it? According to my broker UFS earnings per share is negative $3.52. Are the earnings projected to go positive this year?

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: The acquisition has really depressed the stock price and it has yet to recover. What is your outlook for FVI going forward? How does its valuation compare to its peers? Should the shares also re-rate due to its increased size and growth prospects?
