PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 18/19, Up 275%) He kept picking away it and still owns it. A few years ago, this stood at $80, but fell to $10 when they a great deal to buy DigitalGlobe which increased the company's value though levered the balance sheet. MAXR does satellite imaging and analytics for defence and many other industries. It has a 10x operating cash flow, so it's still not expensive. This could hit $100.

HOLD
This was $80 a few years ago, then an acquisition of Digital Globe (made a lot of sense) made investors worry about the balance sheet, but that's improving as they pay down debt. The DG deal married DG's orbital satellites with Maxar's existing software to analyze that data from outer space, which is important to military defence and urban planning. MAXR has had a huge dip this year, but he's holding on. Is trading at only 8x operating cash flow.

HOLD
He continues to hold but took a little money of the table because of a substantial move. It is space exploration plays. Their cap X spending will come down in the coming year. He thinks it is positioned right and is not extended. We need space data for so many uses. There is a growing use for it. For the longer term he thinks you should stay with it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
The space sector is promising. Still owns this and bought more with the weakness. With digital globe acquisition, they have married the space area well. Low level orbit satellite structure is promising. There are companies that need their data. Best positioned to combine data and put it in a good format. The valuation is still good. You are seeing SPACs flowing money into the area.

Advertising
(A Top Pick July 20/17, Down 25%) It is a global communications and surveillance business. He has a target of $80 and it was time to go at that point. It is now headquartered in the US. They drew the attention of short sellers: Allegations of accounting irregularities; management resigned days before an investor day. You need to make sure the short interest is gone before investing.
