Q: I am investigating solid state batteries as an investment theme. It sounds like the development, production and adoption of this battery technology may be explosive in the years ahead. Are there any under valued US or Cdn companies in the space that you recommend? Also, do you think that like li-ion in the past, investors will latch onto this as a sector to chase in the future?

Q: Hi 5i,

Can you please comment on these two stocks and whether you see them as good additions to a portfolio? Any details on your positive or negative thesis would be appreciated.

I wanted to also take this time to thank everyone at 5i for their fabulous work. I have been a long time member since my late 20’s and your work has really helped me strengthen my confidence in the equity markets and work towards my long-term financial goals. Keep up the amazing work that you all do.

Happy holidays to everyone on the team.

Q: Intc has been doing very badly of late, with Apple and Microsoft designing their own chip. I am thinking of selling Intc and replacing it with 2 or 3 technology companies, not necessarily in the chip sector. Intc is 2% of my portfolio. What would be your picks. Thanks

Q: I was fortunate to acquire DND at issue and have a nice profit. In reply to the recent questions about DND - specifically about 3-5 year hold for capital gains - you ranked it behind KXS, NVEI, XBC, although noting it is the largest/ safest among NVEI and XBC. My question is whether you would advise to sell all or part DND and reinvest in NVEI or XBC, which I do not presently own to maximize gains over 3-5 year time frame.

Q: This past week has a lot of concern raised over widespread security issues, not just in the US. Stocks in the sector all responded with huge upside. My question is really about FEYE and TENB which are much smaller than CRWD. Those 2 stocks traded at much higher volumes on Friday. Do they have some particular answer to this latest security breach that the larger companies may not have? Let me take this opportunity to wish everyone at 5i a merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Q: Good morning, ENGH announced a special dividend of $1.50. I believe this amounts to ~ $83 million, representing ~ 34% of their Oct/20 year-end cash balance. One might have hoped the ENGH Board foresaw 'better' ways to use this cash to advance the firm's market position. 5i has been positive on ENGH for some time. Does this large dividend change 5i's views on ENGH in any meaningful way as a solid investment going forward? Thank you. Edward

Q: Hello. I'm preparing to buy a couple of tech stocks. Unity Software (U) is one; which is a go. Also, 5i seems to like it. But my Q is about Elastic N.V. (ESTC). One Q&A in 2020 with only a few others dating from 2019 in 5i's Q&A section. It looks interesting to me, but I'm not sure. I'd appreciate your updated look at the stock and your opinion about adding it (currently trading at all-time high -- but cash flow is still negative). Thanks!
