Investment Q&A

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I know from your answers that you like VRT. I am down by about 8%. Not too worried. Willing to hold on to this.

The question is two fold:

1. I look at Finviz screener (freebie version!) and the Debt: Equity ratio and LT Debt is high? 2.25 it says. What does it mean? Indicates risk?

2. Worth adding to VRT as it has pulled back or do you think there is more downside drift to come given the sector rotation is now firmly in place?

3. Offers a decent premium and to my earlier question sometime ago you had recommended this as a candidate for writing call options. Do you still hold that view?

Many thanks in advance.

Q: What are your top three non-tech CDR picks?

Q: What are your thoughts about American? They have made some recent changes to management and announced the will fix their distribution strategy. Do see this stock as a mid to long term buy? I do have a small position at the $10.50 mark.

Thank you

Q: Wondering if you are still positive towards this company and do you see it as a buy, sell, or hold. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Research team,

I have a brokerage account where I get Analyst Rating change Notice about the stocks I hold. One of my holding is GOOGL:Q and today there was an analyst rating change from Mizuho Securities for the current price target to US$205 from previous price target of US$295. Normally this kind of downgrading gives weakness in stock price.

My question is "do this kind of large price decrease targets are normal and do these people have inside information what normal investor have no clue"?

Your thoughts about the company will be appreciated.

Q: How do you think the mistake will change the revenue and growth of CRWD.
Thank You

Q: I'm writing to seek your expertise on the recent global IT outage caused by CrowdStrike. As the dust settles, the question on everyone's mind is whether CrowdStrike will assume financial responsibility for the damages incurred. If so, the compensation could be considerable. As an investor in AI stocks, I'm eager to know if this situation presents a strategic buying opportunity. In your opinion, how will this IT outage affect CrowdStrike's long-term prospects and stock performance? Will it have a lasting impact on their reputation and investor confidence? Thanks

Q: I understand this is a relatively new cyber security company that is performing very well
What is the stock prefix and do you recommend switching to it from Crowdstrike

Q: Hello 5i...with respect to Cdn Industrials...I am looking to consolidate 9 positions into 6 to 7 holdings...thaey are ( largest to smaillest holding ) WSP, TFII, EIF, ATS, CJT, HPS.A, TRI, TVK, DRX, I am looking for some sort of combo of stable growth ( I have good gains in WSP and TFII and will hold, but could trim ) and potential exceptional growth. Would appreciate if you could rank based on growth and how you might see a consolidation effort for these.

One option being considered is to move completely out of CJT and /or ATS to US industrials and looking at potentials FIX or TT... would like your opinion on this move and if you have preference for one or another suggested potential US industrial ( I already hold AXON )

thanks/Art

Q: Can you recommend a few US non tech stocks that you see have good upside?
Thanks

Q: 1, Would you recommend adding to CRWD today (Jul 19, 2024) or wait til the dust settles?
2, What would be a good entry price? $280 ish?
(I have held CRWD for some time and have been doing well. Have wanted to add to it for a long time but its valuation scares me.)

Q: If it was you holding CELH and being down 40% (now a 2.75% position), would you be holding or moving on? Would you even consider adding to average down?
Thanks

Q: What is your opinion of this company today?
Thanks for all you do.

Q: Hello 5i
Do you know when CELH reports next?
Thank you

Q: Hello; I would love your thoughts on Serve Robitics……thx.

Q: I'm looking for more momentum in the healthcare sector for the next 3-5 years, at least. I am a long term investor. I currently have ABBV and SYK but am thinking about moving on and buying LLY and ISRG as replacements. Are you still bullish on both LLY and ISRG, and do you think that such a switch makes sense in this market? Thank you!

Q: I have TER in my portfolio for many yrs and doing very well. I would like to take 1/2 position in an other semi. Could you comment on the four company mentioned above

Q: Regarding my question yesterday about a hedged ETF for either Nasdaq or S&P500: You suggested ZSP, but it appears to be not hedged. For a hedged suggestion would you pick XSP-T or another choice please?

Q: Hi, Can you please share your take on the CRWD security upgrade problem today that has impacted global systems. I had no idea CRWD ran so many operations for global customer. Thank you, Michael

Q: Lly has been hit hard last few days presumably as a result of news that a competitor has another weight loss drug in the works. Is the sell off over done in your view? Would you continue to hold? Thanks.
