Q: Hi 5i
In your opinion do you think there is a strategic nature to leaked news of a potential " acquiring " of Nuvie?

As you mentioned the stock had been falling for a week to around $29.5 canadian now up today up around 28%....
....However If this news would have leaked 2 weeks ago at sp of around $36 canadian i believe management would have a harder time convincing shareholder that a potential $30 US take over price is a great price....
Am I dreaming ? Can you provide some commentary....

Thx

Q: Hi 5i, and would welcome your review of the recent Quarterly results from SentinelOne, and whether you would consider it as a buy/ hold/ or sell. Do you see any red flags or concerns with the future business prospects or in achieving their march to eventual profitability, and the merits as a long-term hold and any competitive advantage that they may hold in the cybersecurity space. Thanks kindly.

Q: Follow up on Bitcoin as an asset.
The price to mine a bitcoin has decreased over the years from about 37,000 dollars to 17,000 dollars. The total number of bitcoins to be mined is supposed to be restricted to a finite number which may be reached this year or next year.
Still the bitcoin value reaches rather extraorbitant values despite not having any asset to back up the value. It apparently may hide a bitcoin owner unless he or she declares its ownership . The legalized ETFs may be more open as to the ownership I presume.
Do you have any comments about the above issues?
I think 50% or more people who invest in bitcoin do not have idea that is a bitcoin.

Q: Hi, Could you please share your thoughts on the recent performance of the stock. LMN stock made a high of $38, just before release of its quarter, but its price has been drifting lower since then, closing at $33 level, within a span of less than 10 days.

The results looked solid, but apparently, there seems to be some concern among investors related to an expense of $2,871 mln (FY 2023), related to the increase in fair value of the redeemable preferred/special shares and dividend payable. LMN also intends to issue new common shares on March 25, 2024 to satisfy
(1) mandatory conversion of the large block of preferred and special shares held by CSU/Others at a predetermined ratio
(2) payment of $87 mln of dividend on these shares and number of such common shares, to be based on average trading price of LMN for 60 days prior to March 25.

My understanding is that the loss related to “Increase in FMV of preferred shares” is only a “Book Loss” and will extinguish completely, with no effect on company profitability (Existing and Future) once the preferred shares are converted to LMN’s subordinate voting shares on March 25.

Thus, the only relevant factor here should be the impending issue of new common shares (How many and the final total o/s shares), which would result in increase of the share count, possibly impacting the Net Income and CFO per share and further elevating the PE ratio.

So, is the market concern justified or it’s more of a sentiment issue, which should resolve itself with more clarity over next few quarters?

Based on your assessment, do you believe that nothing has changed to its mini CSU profile? And if so, is it a good opportunity to take advantage of this uncertainty and to add LMN shares at current level ?

Thank You

Q: AMD The perpectives for this stock are sometimes contradictory. Some analysts see it as as a promising competitor of nvidia with a great future. Others on the contrary are very more sceptical...about a possible sustainable performance. What are you appreciation on a 2-3 years range? Thank you very much

Q: Hey team 5i: I’ve paid the price for hanging on to my Lightspeed LSPD shares. I bought into the company in the Spring of 2020, watched it reach its peak of $160.00 plus, per share and yes; was foolish enough to keep the shares during its massive decline, thinking the Company could fight off the Shorts, in much the same way Shopify did a couple of years prior. Anyway, I wish I could say you live and learn, but I just can’t seem to grasp that skill of when to sell! I’m encouraged with the recent change of leadership, but not all that confident that Dax Dasilva can make the changes necessary to bring the stock price back to where it once was! / I’ve been watching Vitalhub Corp (VHI) over the past # of weeks and note the positive commentary as it relates to it being a stock to watch! / Would it be a wise decision to sell my LSPD shares and buy into VHI? / Thank You in advance. I appreciate your great service. Stan.

Q: Hello, I would like your opinion on light speed.
I am presently down 70%, and wonder if it’s time
to move on and put what’s left into something that will crank up. I also want to mention I read the Q&A faithfully and have done very well, especially like AI stocks over on the US side. Thank you very much for your insights
