Special Edition-Hunting for the Next 200 Bagger
Can this updated tool help us find the next Constellation Software?
This is a special edition of the Hank Letter. This announcement launches the new investment tool on the Ask Hank infrastructure. A platform dedicated to investors and those who want to take control of their finances. Below is the reasoning with the specific features of AskHank.money
If you had invested $1,000 at the public offering price of Constellation Software in 2006, some 20 years later, you would have $200,000 worth of stock. Most of us struggle to wait 20 years for an investment to reach its full potential. But even just 5 years after it went public, Constellation was looking special. What if we had a tool to analyze those special traits and identify something today that resembled them?
As most of you know, one of the original Ask Hank’s features was its ability to perform financial analysis and search for real estate values. However, it is primarily used today to help hundreds of thousands of people relieve the pressure and weight of life. Some 4,000 people a day visit AskHank.ai to use it as a circuit breaker, or to know, like a fire extinguisher, that it is there if needed. It’s become a psychological containment infrastructure, with over 3 million people viewing our educational clips and 260,000 platform opens since November 20. I needed to move the money and financial analysis to a different place.
For those of us who obsess over finding great investments, be it in rental properties or publicly traded equities, it made sense to me to build a stronger, more robust tool. It is strictly focused on analyzing investments; no emotional, personal, or relationship answers are provided. If you want to take control and get serious about your investments, this is the tool for you. It is now live, so give it a spin. Your comments and thoughts are always appreciated.

Investor Tool Guide
AskHank.money is a rules-based platform designed to help investors understand what they own,
what they are paying, and how assets behave under real-world conditions.
The system avoids forecasts, targets, and recommendations. All tools are built to slow decision-making,
surface costs and structure, and reduce avoidable mistakes.
ETF & Mutual Fund Checker
This tool is designed for Canadians who already own mutual funds or ETFs and want clarity.
It shows:
• Asset class and mandate (as stated by the provider)
• Top holdings and portfolio weights
• Management Expense Ratio (MER) and estimated annual dollar cost
• 5-year and/or 10-year annualized total return (CAGR)
• Side-by-side comparison to the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return over the same period
The output is factual and standardized.
No opinions. No rankings. No buy or sell language.
Company & REIT Analysis (Full Hank Analysis)
AskHank.money does not analyze companies without audited financial statements.
Before a full analysis can begin, users must download and provide audited filings from SEDAR+ or the company’s official investor relations site. If audited documents are not provided, the system stops.
When documents are available, the analysis examines:
• Multi-year financial growth (revenue, earnings, cash flow, book value)
• Balance sheet strength and debt discipline
• Capital allocation and reinvestment behavior
• Cash-flow yield (Hank Cap Rate)
• Dividends, buybacks, and shareholder returns
The process is intentionally conservative and document-driven.
Snapshot Mode (Orientation Only)
Snapshot Mode provides a quick factual orientation without analysis.
It includes:
• Business description and operating geography
• Reported historical financial figures
• Latest share price (timestamped)
• 52-week high and low
Snapshot Mode contains no valuation, conclusions, or judgments.
If a question moves toward value or attractiveness, Snapshot ends and full analysis rules apply.
Back-Check Analysis
Back-Check asks: “What would this have looked like at the time?”
This tool analyzes a company at a specific historical date using:
• Only audited financial statements available at that time
• The actual market price from that period
• No hindsight and no future data
Back-Check is used to study decision quality and process, not outcomes.
100-Bagger Comparison — Constellation Software Framework
The 100-Bagger Comparison does not attempt to predict the next winner.
Instead, it compares a company’s structure and behavior to Constellation Software,
used as a reference framework for disciplined long-term compounding.
The comparison focuses on:
• Capital allocation discipline
• Reinvestment economics
• Cash-flow durability
• Governance and incentive alignment
• Balance-sheet behavior
• Acquisition discipline, where applicable
This is a structural comparison only.
Audited data is required. If unavailable, the process stops.
Find Me a Cash-Flow Rental
This tool evaluates rental properties strictly on cash flow and survival.
Before analysis, users must provide:
• Location
• Maximum purchase price
• Property type
• Financing assumptions
• Minimum required monthly cash flow
AskHank.money then:
• Searches real property listings
• Uses actual expenses where available or clearly labelled estimates
• Calculates conservative cash flow
• Evaluates income and survival value
• States what Hank would be willing to offer based on supported value
No appreciation forecasts.
Cash flow comes first.
Design Philosophy
AskHank.money is built on limits, not promises.
• No hype
• No targets
• No shortcuts
• No analysis without primary data
The goal is not activity.
The goal is fewer mistakes, made deliberately.
Educational use only.
Do not make portfolio or real estate decisions without speaking with your advisors.
I am not a financial advisor.
