Q: Could you please comment on LNTH earnings today. The stock seems to be taking quite a hit. Thanks for the great service. Marcia

Q: On October 31 the answer to a question I read compared LNTH to LLY as LNTH was a lot cheaper and would have more upside than LLY and big named actors were using the product as opposed to plastic surgery. Then I read very recently Peter's 5 2022 best percentage gains as having Lantheus Holdings (LNTH) first as he seemed very upbeat on it and mentioned it could pause a bit after having all these gains. Here I am 3 days into owning it and it is down over 12%. I read on my online account Nov 3 earnings were reasonably good but I also read on BNN Bloomberg that their earnings were not coming out until later so am I right about the earnings coming out today and were they worse than what I interpreted? I cannot interpret these earnings reports like 5i can. After being down that much in such a short period of time, I am wondering if I should sell or hold? Thank you,

Q: Do you ever look back at some of the answers you gave to member's questions, and wonder why you were so bullish? Example: Unity Software

On March 22, 2021 when Unity was $100 you said:

"Unity gets a premium valuation as it is essentially in a global duopoly in its industry. It has more than 50% market share globally, and is in a good position to capture high growth in the market. This also gives it pricing power, and it has said it could double prices and only lose 2% of customers, but it wants to further entrench customers before it makes any price changes."

And on Dec 16, 2020 when the stock was $147 you said:

"In the gaming space, U is essentially in a global duopoly with Epic Games. Epic potentially is at a disadvantage with China trade dispute, so U's positioning in the sector is even stronger because of this. We consider it the 'Amazon' of gaming. It gets a piece of the action and makes it easier for games to launch. It is planning for the long term. Mgmt has said it could double prices and only lose 2% of customers. But it wants to firmly entrench its customers first. The stock is not cheap by any means, but revenue is expected to at least double in 18 months, and it should be profitable in 2022 or shortly thereafter."

Today the stock is $26.29. If you don't look back at your reasoning for being so bullish you won't learn. In an answer to a members question today you said Unity was a sell. What happened to your bullish view not that long ago, and holding for at least 5 years? Did you get caught up in the hype despite your decades of experience?

Q: Hello 5i
Could I have your assessment of e.l.f Beauty after their recent quarter.
Thank you
Dave

Q: Guidance seems to be the key factor in reporting season for tech stocks. No one cares if you beat on the current quarter, like ROKU just did. Its outlook is terrible, with higher expenses and higher losses ahead. Do you think ROKU will become a profitable business one day or will the streaming wars never end? Is the end game for ROKU a takeover by NFLX or others?

Thanks and thanks for the detailed answer on META. Time will tell if the emperor is wearing clothes.

Q: Dear 5i,
Could you please provide your thoughts on ADI vs TXN?
Do you like these?
If so, which one do you like better and why?
Do you think there is a better choice in the sector and why?
What do you think would be a good entry price?

thanks

Q: Your thought on buying Davita at a discount after a weak quarterly data. Is that any other reason leading to such a huge crater to share price?

Thanks!

Q: Current thoughts on BSM ? Thx

Q: I was interested in 5 U.S. stocks for a rif. Divs should be high with some risk is ok bit solid long term. Thx

Q: Hi 5i guys,
I have held the Industrial sector stock WM for about 6 months.
One would think that WM would have rebounded somewhat over
the last month but has slowly been loosing ground.
What do you account this to ?
Please provide reasons and should I continue to hold?
Thanks as always.

Q: What are your thoughts on EXPI after todays earnings release? The stock has been punished this year with interest rate hikes impacting real estate markets. Does it look like a company that will do well when it comes out of this and real estate picks up or have the fundamentals and story changed here? Is this an add while its down or hold and do nothing?thx

Q: Could I have your thoughts on this company as a mid-term (3+ yrs) hold in an aggressive TFSA.

Thank you!

Marc.

Q: Hi,
I'd be very interested in your take on the earnings for DVN. The 13% drop seems excessive to me, however I expect there was something in the earnings that I missed, but rang alarm bells for others?
Thanks for your insightful work!
Dawn

Q: Could you comment on earnings, what are the important takeaways here?

Q: Hello 5i!
At this point in the cycle can you please rate the following as buy, sell or hold. I know you sometimes say in a different kind of market high growth can do well. Can you please comment on whether one should decrease technology holdings in general or just wait for tech to shine again one day. Thank you!

Q: Hellio 5i,
ZIM has a dividend that is higher than its price. I never saw that before in a company. Should I take the huge loss and get out now or just bide my time until this whole mess is over? I can wait while collecting the dividend if this is considered no big deal, even if it does appear not quite normal.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Unity Software including its cash on hand and debt as well as other fundamentals, insider ownership and trading, ability to weather a recession, and prospects for growth. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,
Continuing on Pietro’s question posted on Oct 31, 2022, please recommend a few (3 to 6 companies) good buying opportunities in the cyclical sector.

Thanks,
Roger
