Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i,

I sold for tax loss VZ and the 30 day period is over. Ignoring that VZ has since increased in price I am starting to change my mind about buying back. Certainly a change in sector but would ABBV be a better replacement since my health care exposure is low? If not can you let me know if VZ is worth buying back.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is what could be classified as an absurd question! Ha!Ha! However I would love to have your opinion just to satisfy my curiosity. I have a friend..."cult member" who is obsessed with Elon Musk and thinks that someday humans will relocate on Mars. He believes that TSLA someday...in 5-10 years...will go to $3000.00 per share. He believes his cars are not cars but "robots on wheels" and all that that implies...if you know what I mean. It is my understanding that companies who do reverse-splits generally do not skyrocket. In fact it may demonstrate a weakness. Personally, I think this is totally unrealistic. Just for fun what do you think TSLA chances are of hitting $3000.00. Please give me a percentage...as an old rock and roll song went "A Million To One". I promise I will just keep it to myself and not quote you! Ha!Ha! Thanks...as usual!

Q: NRIX Your comments on the prospects of this company will be appreciated.

Q: Can you please provide your outlook for Costco in light of their recent reporting. A per your portfolio tracking, it is up 48% in the last year - do you see share price continuing its impressive run? Your company reports has its P/E (at 43) at its near its peak in the last 5 years and P/B is at 12....are these concerning? Can you shed light on how its balance sheet will be situated after the special dividend? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I am considering initiating a position in one of these 2 companies; can you please provide your outlook for each and indicate which you would choose, if you were me. A couple of specific questions - I currently own CSU, is there much overlap with CTSH? Also, in an answer over a year ago you suggested the P/E for CCOI was very high, at 70, but recent company reports put it 3 to 4....can you explain what is involved with the 70 v. the 3 - 4? Also, in that answer you referred to very high debt to cash flow....is that still a concern? thanks much

Q: Hi. I have been nibbling away at both IWO and IJR and would like to bring each up to a full position (5%) in my portfolio. Given their run during the past month, do you still see them as under-valued and buyable?
