Q: Lot of investors with astronomical results pick up good companies way earlier than others. I am following some people on Twitter with results of like 1000% in one year. How do you identify these companies early when they have minimal revenues but something in demand. What would be the top 5 go to stocks in this category in Canada and US which no one really knows much about and with not much analyst following?

Q: I have recently received rights issued from a common share holding in SQM. I can't locate information on the rights, e.g., right to buy at? time expiration - can you provide some insight or, alternatively, a link that provides that information. I've looked on the company website, investor news releases and looked up the rights on the TMX (ADR) but can't find anything

Q: Hi guys - you've mentioned a few times that the market has shifted from growth to value recently. Assuming we can't time the market with any consistency over the long term, how could someone who is dollar cost averaging take advantage of theses rotations in the future from an ETF perspective? Would it make sense to buy VUG (growth) and VTV (value) and actively purchase more when one fund is considered "down"? Is there a strategic way to determine which fund you would allocate more dollars to with each monthly purchase? Thanks for the guidance.

Q: My question is regarding value metrics for CPX. I compared EV/Revenue for the above utilities and CPX is lowest at 4.66, followed by FTS at 5.96. FTS has the lowest P/B at 1.49; CPX is the next best at 2.00. As an income/value investor, is CPX a value diamond in the rough? I know it keeps missing estimates, but I would get a yield of about 5.5% while waiting for financial results to improve. Your comments very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: Is $60 M for three dispensaries in the Philadelphia area a good deal? What sort of revenue could TRUL generate from these dispensaries?

My ‘back of the envelope’ calculations:
o # of dispensaries at end of 2020: 75
o 11 added in the 4th quarter, so lets say ~64 dispensaries made full contributions for 2020 (I have not checked if there were earlier dispensary additions in 2020)
o 2020 total revenue was 521,533,000
o 521,533,000 / 64 = 8,148,953 average revenue / dispensary

So to pay $60M for 3 dispensaries seems a little rich.
I have no idea of the addressable market for these new dispensaries.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,
Would you add to an existing position in any of these ? I know you generally frown upon averaging down but if you would in what order ?
Thanks again
