Investment Q&A

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

Q: Was hoping to get an update on your conviction for Equinix. The company said its backlog of cabinets sold but not yet installed, doubled in 2024 compared to the prior year. They also said roughly 87% of projects under construction have been leased or pre-leased. I see they have quite a few xScale data centers coming online this year. And the company said that cabinets billed should climb in 2025. That all sounds promising! But there is a LOT of competition out there, the big spending is impacting profitability, and I think they are still working with the SEC and DOJ to resolve the short seller allegations from last year. Would you continue to hold? Are there some better alternatives in the space? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

May I please have your comments on this company given the negative news relating to it that occurred a few months ago. Would it be a hold, buy or sell now? If it is a "sell", please recommend a company or companies to take its place.

Cheers,
H

Q: Hi - what do you make of US comments about the lack of taxes that cruise companies pay due to their ship registration? Industry stocks have reacted badly but wondering if this is an overreaction and what your prospects are for the US to actually act on this "subtle" threat? Bottom line for those who might be long the sector...sell on this news...or hold...or buy?

Q: Hello folks:

Help me to "decipher" the crazy price action of SMCI :) From 40 to 66 in 5 days! (approximate)

Is it because of

a. Short covering
b. that it is deemed safe from being delisted from Nasdaq.
c. Market loving what they see in their recent releases and TRUST the data this time around!! Borrowing a phrase from you, have all the cockroaches been squashed :)

Apparently Feb 25th is the D Day for the stock. Any predictions for post Feb 25th announcements. Will it go down? ? 47 is the support if you look at the "inverse head and shoulder neckline" or up 70+ 200 Day MA. Forgive my rudimentary Technical Analysis!

Q: Hi team,
The rumors about Intel being broken up and sold to Broadcom and TSMC (may be) seems to be on again! Will it stick this time? Internet rumors are flying high! I saw one figure of upto 47$! (Reddit) Though mostly around 30$.
Some say this is not going to fly. No foreign ownership of US chips!! Trump is the President BTW:)

If I were to write covered call, how high would you suggest that I go?

Any thoughts or opinions?
