Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi there,

I previously asked about DND and what a reasonable amount would be to pay over an IPO price of $7.50 (you said 25%). It's up quite a lot today $13.50-14 and I would like to ask whether 5i would view it as a buy, sell or hold at that price point? If it were in your growth portfolio would you take profit or let it roll? My take would be that KXS, DSG, SHOP etc would have all been terrible things to sell just because of a Day 1 pop after IPO which argues in favour of holding DND as well.

Q: At one time, Absolute Software was in one of the portfolios. Now it is hitting new highs every day on higher volume. I have held this one for a long time and wonder if it is prudent to add into this strength. I am concerned that if on-line learning is not in the cards for September that the stock will retreat back to the $11-12 range. The CEO is well respected. Your opinion appreciated and would you consider this one a good candidate to put back in perhaps the growth portfolio.

Q: I hope I'm not out of line asking this. But I've noticed that, while you seem to like Square, the lack of SQ appearing in your disclosures indicate that you don't own any.

What would be your reasons for not owning SQ? I'm thinking long term and see potential with Square's Cash App replacing consumer banking. Thanks again.

Q: I sent a question on Friday about DocuSign, but maybe it didn’t go through.

With some 70% market share, I know DocuSign is the clear leader in the e-signature business. But their long term play is their Agreement Cloud platform, which seems to be tackling everything that comes before and after the signing portion of a contract as well.

What’s your opinion of DocuSign in this area of the business for long term growth? Who are their competitors here and do you know their market share on this aspect? It’s not as obvious as just the e-signature business, perhaps because it’s still a new field.

Thanks for your great service.
