Investment Q&A

Q: Crowdstrike is reporting 2nd qtr. results next week. Are you aware of any detrimental news that could affect their report? Would you be a buyer prior to the news or would you wait until you see their results? The stock price is down more than 10% in the last couple of weeks!

Q: Hello 5i extraordinaries!

I am down 30% on APPS and while I realize August has been hard on growth performers should I be concerned? Do you know of any material reasons why? Are you still bullish on it?

Many thanks for helping us all sleep at night!

Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment on when the takeover of score by Penn State will occur. Also as I own The Score what do you think would be the best option - Sell now or take the shares in Penn State. Also do you think there could be a competing bid?

Q: Is the growth thesis still in tact for ROKU? It has been very week of late. Would you buy at these levels?
Thank you

Q: Good day. I realize it is early days but what are your impressions of this company. Thank you.

Q: The genome space seems to have taken a hit and I'd like to add some to my portfolio. Can you give me 3 to 5 Canadian or US stocks going forward that you believe have the highest potential of gains( I realise this would also be subject to the most risk) for a 5 plus year hold.

Also 3 to 5 stocks from Canada or US that you feel should be held for long term exposure.

Thank you.

Q: When looking at growth vs value or tech vs more cyclical stocks, we have seen stocks like GH go from $181 to 99, Coupa from $377 to 208 or Acuity Ads go from $26 to $8 while the DOW hits all time highs. My question is what do you expect would happen to this type of small, growth company when a correction comes? Have they been punished enough that they are buffered or even so an inflow of capital in a rotation or would they likely be punished even more severely due to (still) high valuations? As a part 2 to this question, what would be your five favourite growth stocks that have been beaten up and would you start positions in them today or wait for further declines?
Thanks!

Q: Any thoughts on Doman's recent reported results ?

Thanks

Dave

Q: Hi 5i
I noticed BC Investment Management initiated a very small position in Tilray (I think it is about .1% of their holdings). With the stock near 52 week low and the US moving towards legalization, would you be tempted to place a small bet?
Thanks,
Greg

Q: This company just reported, seems to be a sizeable miss on revenues, how much was the miss on earnings? Their customer base continues to expand, along with their continually growing product offering. Is today's sell-off a good entry point, or should this company be considered too high risk, too volatile?
Thank you as always...

Q: Can you give me your opinion of this company? Thanks

Q: Could you provide and update please?

Q: Hi 5i, pls comment on q2 release. I know the it's relatively new, with only on release, but what are you views on the adoption of their technology going fwd.

Thx

Q: I'm confused: Your "Shares out" for Verano is stated as 122.23M and that # is the same when I check VRNO's TMX listing but MarketWatch lists the shares out at 131.08M.

VRNO started trading on the CSE on Feb 17/21 after its reverse takeover of Majesta Minerals. It also trades OTC stateside under the ticker VRNOF.

Portions of VRNO's total float are "locked up" in escrow, to be release on the 90th, 180th, 240th, 310th and 400th days following the initial offering on Feb 17/21.

According to a fellow who passes himself off as "MJ Stock Trader" on Twitter, the unlock schedule for Verano is as follows:
1. 17-Feb-21: 60M shares
2. 12-May-21: 42M shares
3. 10-Aug-21: 42M shares
4. 08-Nov-21: 42M shares
5. 06-Feb-22: 42M shares
6. 18-Mar-22: 56M shares

For a total of of 290M shares.

The questions:

(i) Do these numbers represent VRNO's CSE listing or the stateside OTC operation?

(ii) When large chunks of escrowed shares unlock, bidders can make hay of askers, which is what appears to be happening to VRNO this week; how likely is it that the tables will turn in November when another chunk of locked shares unlock and the US fed govt presumably inches closer to legalization?

Thank you!

Q: Despite having released a steady stream of NRs, the shares of BABY have essentially been treading water below the $3.00 mark. But today's announcement may have finally changed things for the better. Would appreciate your views.

ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. the plant-based baby, toddler and children nutrition company, announces that it has signed an online distribution agreement with Walmart.com and will be expanding into Walmart’s E-commerce (Walmart.com) marketplace by Q4, 2021 with its Plant-Based Complete Nutrition products for Toddlers.

According to eMarketer, Walmart’s U.S. e-commerce sales prior to the pandemic were $30 billion and are projected to hit over $64 billion by the end of 2021.

Q: Hi,

I’m looking to either add to or start a new position in my TFSA, 3-5 year timeline (or longer), with a high risk tolerance. Can you suggest a few companies (no preference Can/US). I currently already have small positions of both Topicus and Eglx inside my TFSA, so I’m also considering just adding the new funds to either of these. Thanks for the great service you provide!

Q: Hi 5i!

Many thanks for all your good work. Can you comment Trulieve earnings?

It looked like a nice beat, why do you think it droped on earnings day?

Also, how is the valuation compared to Curaleaf?

Many thanks

Q: I am looking at a TFSA in which the funds will be withdrawn in about 5 years. I want to replace RY with something with a greater return potential, and will accept some risk for that hopeful gain in total return. Staying in Canada.

I am stuck picking between TOI, GSY, WELL, LSPD, ATZ and DOO. You seem to like them all. Which one or two would you pick today? and Why?

Q: My 36 yr old daughter owns TD and WELL in her TFSA account. Would you recommend holding or selling the WELL? Also, could you please give me five CA ideas for new money in order of preference. THX.

Q: whats expected from theses 2 ? Thx
