Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Crowdstrike has fallen just over 10% in the last 10 days. Is this a prelude to their upcoming (Aug.30th) report. Are you aware of any news that would cause this drop. They have several analyst recommendations with a target slightly over $300. Do you still feel that this is an outstanding buy or is it getting too costly to recommend at this time?

Q: Please comment on the earnings report. Specifically are you concerned that revenue growth is being swamped by increasing cost and cash outflows? Are the expense increases in categories that support future growth, such as r and d, or they just drags on performance like salaries, stock compensation etc.

Q: My nephew recently built a PC and we got talking about processors. He suggested that many companies, such as NVDA, have increased sales due to their usefulness for Bitcoin mining operations which has, in turn, driven up the price of graphic cards. If one was concerned that Bitcoin is a tulip, how would you go about trying to think through the relationship between bitcoin mining and chip sales and component prices? Your ideas are most welcome, Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

SFTC has really taken off in the past week or so. I can see no news on this one which would drive the price action. Are you aware of anything there?

Today, TD rated it a buy with a $28 target. It closed Friday around $34. I know you are not fans of target prices but would it be at best a hold, based on the TD target? TD does like its overall prospects. It gets 20% of its revenue from MSFT and MSFT has done well. In addition, it views CDW as a close peer of SFTC and CDW recently reported strong numbers.

What are your current thoughts on SFTC since its IPO a few months ago?

Thanks again.

Q: I have 1.4% of my total portfolio in AMZN in a TFSA. I realize this isn't much of a commitment and am tempted to sell and invest the money instead in one of my other TFSA holdings (all of which are around 3%): LSPD, NVDA, APPS, ADBE or GOOG. Your advice, please.

Q: Hi Folks,
finally breaking even with KXS - do you think it's a sell at this price or does it have more runway left in it ? Would a switch to GOOG or FB make more sense at this time?
Thanks

Q: We have very little tech. exposure in our portfolios as a % - so minimal. Own IGM & ARKK in USD portfolio - IGM for 4 years - done very well. In TFSA, own STC, VHI, XIT ETF. All the others are on my list to purchase as not. I would buy equal positions - so, of those we do not own which three would you consider the best in the short and long term. I am mostly a dividend grower investor - companies that increase them every year; however, trying to add a bit of tech. Maybe there others not shown that meet my criteria?
