Investment Q&A

Q: Hello team,

From here on, which one has significantly more growth potential, NET or RPD?

How do you rank them based on their balance sheet, competitive advantage, and management?

Or do you have something better to suggest in tech, with superior balance sheet, management, and growth potential?

Thanks! :)

Q: I just read the following on CNBC news feed:

A bill that could force Chinese companies to give up their listings on American stock exchanges is now moving at “warp speed” in Congress, one analyst says.
“We believe it is only a matter of time before this bill (or something similar) is signed into law,” Raymond James analyst Ed Mills wrote.
The Senate bill would require companies to certify that “they are not owned or controlled by a foreign government” and allow the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist non-compliant firms.

They claim it is receiving bipartisan support as it would be political suicide to be seen as supporting Chinese interests and such a bill would help prevent issues such as the Luckin Coffee fraud.

I would be interested in your thoughts. I own TCEHY and wondered:
1) even though it is an ADR, I assume it would be effected by this?
2) I have to believe this negative perception of Chinese stocks will not go away anytime soon and will put downward pressure on TCHEY (or at best, mute its upside potential). Am I better to sell the stock and use the proceeds to purchase a high quality US tech company, and if so, what would you recommend - add to one of my existing positions of AAPL, GOOGL, CSU, KXS, NVDA, AYX, OTC, SHOP, SWKS,........or start a new position in one of your other favourites not listed here.

I have held TCEHY for a few years and am basically flat. It keeps teasing me with its potential but I do not want to be in a fight that is MAYBE bigger than than the stock and become emotionally attached to a position when there are so many good companies out there. Your sage adivce is most welcome

Q: Can you please comment on CIBC and its juicy dividend.

Would you be a buyer at these levels?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Retired, dividend income investor. I have (or had) a full position in TRP up until the Biden announcement. Would you consider adding now to top up the position or would you wait or would you just leave it as is? I like TRP now, but I'd really like it if it hit the $54-55 level. Asset allocation is not an issue.

A secondary question...with the current approvals in place, wouldn't there be a massive lawsuit if the rug got pulled out of the project if Biden followed through with his threat?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Curiosity leads me to use a question credit- any idea what is behind the massive SLF volume today? Only twice before, in the last twenty years, has the stock seen something like this.

Q: Do you know why the price of Fortis has dropped over the past few days? Thanks for your comments.

Q: Hi, what is the short interest in Lightspeed ? Besides good results, do you think that the sharp 38% spike in the share price Thursday, could also have been fueled by short covering ? In your view, is the worst behind the company and is it safe to add to a 2.5% position now ? Thanks

Q: Hi All:

With the negative feeling about banks for loan loss, etc. I wonder if I should let go either TD or RY or both and take the loss, then watch to buy back later. the total market value is about 3.7% of my total portfolio, and each one is almost equal in market value. The loss in TD is 19+% and RY 15+%. I also own NA with a gain and only 1.5+% in my portfolio.

Thank you.
