Q: Thoughts on Mastercard? I've had a "medium"-size position for several years and treated it more as a "buy-and-forget" stock. I'm thinking the recent 10% cap proposed in the US is likely just noise, but made me look at Mastercard again.

Do you think this is a good time to add to a long-term position in Mastercard or better to wait for a larger potential pullback?

Q: I wanted to get your take on RKLB. I’m currently up 95% on my position, but with the recent parabolic move, I’m starting to feel it’s taking on 'meme stock' characteristics and getting ahead of its fundamentals.

My instinct is that a hard pullback is coming soon. I’m considering closing the position now to lock in these gains and looking to re-enter after a period of consolidation. Given the upcoming Neutron flight window and the Feb 26th earnings, how would you approach 'top-slicing' here versus holding through the volatility?"

Q: hello 5i:
Years ago, we bought PANW as, back then, you considered it a "best of breed". We are not at all unhappy with results. But in continuing the "best of breed", do you see CRWD as being sufficiently "better enough" to warrant making a trade? This is not a short term hold. Can you also comment on the possibility of CRWD being acquired (doubtful that PANW) could or would be.
thanks

Q: Hi Everyone!
It seems to me that Quantum computing is of great interest , having read the following: “ …last Nov. Photonic inc, Xanadu and Nord Quantique advanced to the second stage of the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, led by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a military backed research program that aims to build a useable quantum computer by 2033.”
Are any of these companies considered investable by you or are there any others, or are things premature at the moment? It would be nice to get in early in a company with good potential.
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Hi 5i Research Team

Hope you’re having a wonderful Monday.

Quick question on Netflix (NFLX). Shares are around ~$90 and I’m debating whether it makes sense to start a position ahead of the next earnings release.

What are the key bull and bear drivers you’d be watching?

Is there anything in expectations/valuation right now that makes the risk/reward especially asymmetric one way or the other?

If you were interested, would you treat it as a starter position vs. a larger bet, and why?

Appreciate any perspective you can share.

Best,
