TOP PICK
A specialty, alternative lender with a solid first quarter. It recently made a 40 million investment in Canada Drives which will really help their auto lending business. Also they have received a huge increase in their credit line - from 900 million to 1.5 billion. It is now fully funded trough 2025. Growing at 20% or more and is at 6X next year's earnings. Buy 8, Hold 1, Sell 1 (Analysts’ price target is $203.00)
TOP PICK
It is in the IT services industry focused on mid market customers in North America and Europe. It is growing very quickly so he is puzzled why the stock is so low.

It is small and not well known but will be more noticed over the next few quarters and years. Buy 2, Hold 1, Sell 0 (Analysts’ price target is $19.00)
