Investment Q&A

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

Q: Please comment on the earnings report. Specifically are you concerned that revenue growth is being swamped by increasing cost and cash outflows? Are the expense increases in categories that support future growth, such as r and d, or they just drags on performance like salaries, stock compensation etc.

Q: Is this a good entry point into Airbnb? I don't know much about the company except that I've been a customer. How is it that they rent out other people's properties and still not make money? I don't get how these companies continue to operate without a profit -- can you help explain how the current valuations are justified?

Q: I currently own Fair Isaac (FICO) and it has done very well the past few years. Recently the stock has been dropping. I'm assuming it's based on the current news. Apparently the US banks are using the Fico credit score less and are starting to use their own credit score system. Also congress is proposing to create their own credit score system. All this means that there could be less business for Fico going forward. Should I hold or starting trimming my position in Fico?
Thanks

Q: I have 2 American Equity mutual funds: BTG105 and MAW108 in an RRSP. I also own the ETF VFV. Performance wise BTG105 has lagged MAW108 and VFV in the last 6 months, 1 yr, 3 yr, 5yr, and 10 yr periods, so I will sell it. But should I replace it with MAW108 or VFV?

MAW108 appears to have outperformed VFV in the last 3 yr, 5yr and 10 yr periods, while VFV outperformed MAW108 in the last 1 yr.

Can you rank these 3, best to worst?

Would you replace BTG105 and MAW108 with VFV (and consolidate all 3 into 1), or keep both MAW108 and VFV for US equity exposure?

Thanks,
Paul
