Investment Q&A

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

Q: Thanks to your sage advice, I am up significantly (again) on NVDA. Last year, I let it run up to 10% of my holdings, sold half and purchased VRT (now up 30%). NVDA has now increased to 8% of my portfolio. I understand there are multiple drivers currently at work turbo-charging the price of this stock (earnings, stock split, upcoming DOW listing, forced acquisition by ETFs, etc.). All this prompts three questions. How large would YOU let your NVDA grow as a percentage of your portfolio before trimming? Assuming you wanted to trim, when do you think the stock price will start leveling off (assuming the absence of black swan events)? If you wanted to take some profit and invest it outside tech, what would be your three highest conviction US stocks today? AMZN, MSFT, VRT, GOOG, V, and J already held. Thank you.

Q: Hi, All above stocks have been beaten down over past few weeks, after a strong run. They are now trading at much lower valuations compared to their larger industry peers in Canada and US. Power Infrastructure, Construction, Industrial and Banking sector have been in a steady uptrend for most of this year and growth is expected to be solid in the foreseeable future.

Just wondering, if they are simply following the trend in US markets where small caps continue to lag the market. What are your thoughts and do you see the trend reversing anytime soon ?

On a different note, ADF Group stock is now trading below $17.31 ( price at which the owners sold some shares recently } and Terravest trading below the recent secondary at $74.25. Some investors seem to be freaking out ?

Thank You

Q: Hi, Hammond Power stock is now tracing back to the levels, traded at, two quarterly earnings ago, down to $98, from a high of $160, not long ago. Apparently, the sell off was caused by some stock compensation concerns and profit taking. From business, operations and financial perspective, company seems solid and stock, now trading at a low valuation of 16/17 times forward earnings ( I believe ). With power/electricity consumption and infrastructure demand , expected to multiply exponentially ( AI/Data Centres etc ) over several years, market for company's speciality transformers should continue to be strong with a long runway of growth.

Analysts are still quite bullish on the co. with price targets ranging from $156 to $167.

So, in your opinion, what could be the basis of the continued weakness in its stock price ?

Do you believe that stock will be higher, say 50%, in 2-3 years from now and should be bought/added aggressively at these depressed levels ?

Thank You
