Q: Hi, holding these two stocks currently waiting for the deals to close with their acquisitions. Do you see any compelling names right now to buy (CAD or US) instead of waiting for these transactions to close or should I just wait? Just thinking about the opportunity cost of waiting. With the proceeds, I would be able to top up on some existing positions (DOL,NVEI,FB,AMZN,REAL) that are under 1% OR buy two new positions that you think are good entry points and compelling for long term growth. Thoughts? Thanks!

Q: I notice that although Dye and Durham is growing quickly, they seem to take on debt, unlike other acquisitive firms such as Enghouse or Constellation. It seems to me like quite a bit of debt for a company that has $20 million or so quarterly revenues. Can you comment on their level of debt as you see it and if this presents a medium-term risk to their strategy? Thanks.

Q: Do you consider Kohls worth holding? The company pays a good dividend but does it offer potential for moderate growth? I own about 1/2 as position.
This is the question I asked in Oct 2019. Litte did we know what 2020 would bring. I have held on to this stock thinking it might recover. The stock price has recovered well. It appears the company has returned to positive earnings. Not sure when the company will begin paying a dividend.
Is this stock worth holding or should I move on?
Thank you for your great service.

Q: Have followed WPRT for years and understand your feelings on it. Recently they seemed to have started a comeback, with their engine’s adaptable to hydrogen and the large truck orders with Amazon and working on research with Scania. Do you think there is hope and might it be a decent speculative buy?
Thanks again for your wisdom and help keeping me on track.

Q: I'm trying to understand the risk/reward on VXX. I know it's an ETN trying to mimic the VIX through futures. Where VXX/VIX are right now and based on history I see downside risk in 2021 of something like 20% and upside of more than 100%. The chances are good that we have a normal correction sometime in the next year. Am I missing something?

Q: Dear 5i
I`m reading that sports betting will grow at a rapid rate over the next 3-5 years or more . That being said , i`m contemplating between PENN and DKNG as two good choices . I'm seeing that Penn has a much better growth rate than DKNG so I'm leaning that way . Would you agree with this or would you recommend something else ?
Thanks

Q: I'm looking to add a new holding in the healthcare sector, and am currently looking at either WELL or PTQ, for a smaller cap stock. Currently, I only have Stryker (SYK) and Amgen (AMGN) in the healthcare sector. Which of either WELL or PTQ would you prefer for more significant growth potential over 3-5 years, with moderate risk. Please provide a rationale for your preference. Thanks!
