Q: I just received an email from Citron talking about SDGR. They feel it is the second coming of TSLA but of course, in a different industry.
They are a brand new IPO and are up 20% today, but would this be worth purchasing in the event that it pulls back to prior to the letter and held for a period of time.
In a nutshell they recap it thusly:

"Through use of artificial intelligence and a world class scientific team that is unmatched by ANY public company, Schrodinger has created a software platform that integrates predictive physics-based methods with machine learning to become the leader in molecular simulation that 1) reduces the average time and cost required to identify a drug development candidate and 2) increases the probability of drug discovery programs entering clinical development.

With the global pharma industry spending approximately $180 billion on R&D annually, this innovative software platform is completely disrupting the drug development process."

Would you invest in this concept yourselves, once you research more about it.? I know its not a p/e , value play it may or may not be TSLA of 10 years ago.

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Do you have a view on this company. Many years ago in a previous job I dealt with them extensively but do not recall them pushing their public company status. My experince was they tended to regularly buy out rising competitors. Looking for analysis of the key metrics.

Q: Looking to increase my American technology positions. I'm interested in taking a position in Adobe. What do you think the future holds for this company, short term, (1 year) and long term (5 years). I'm trying to decide between ADBE and MSFT. Which do you think is the best investment or would you buy both? Would they complement each other? Are there other U.S. tech. companies you like as well or better?

Q: Your recent report on KXS notes that the expected F2020 revenue growth is 11.1% and a CIBC report forecasts revenue growth of 17% in F2021. Both these estimates are below the expected F2019 revenue growth of 26% and lower than the 22.4% forecasted annual growth rate (to 2022) of the SaaS application market in supply chain management. In such a competitive market, forecasts of declines in revenue growth and forecasted growth which is lower than the market’s growth are not ideal signs and something to monitor. Have you picked up any explanations for the decline in forecasted revenue growth in F2020 and the overall choppiness of revenue growth?

Q: I have been watching AYX, NVDA and ROKU for a while, but haven't bought any of them yet. If you were to buy them today, please rank 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the order that you would buy them.

According to RBC, ROKU has 118.1 M shares, and of that only 64.235 M are floating shares. The short interest is about 14% of the float. On Friday Feb 14th, the volume of shares traded was 63.1 M. That's 98.2% of the floating shares were traded. Can you help me understand what this information can tell you? On the surface every floating share was traded, but really some shares were traded multiple times throughout the day. When the volume of trading is this high compared to the float, what does this trading pattern indicate?
