Investment Q&A

Q: Can you share any insights on FCCN - Spectral Capital Corporation? I have a high level understand of what their business is but would like your comments on the following:
1. What is the probability of them being granted a Nasdaq listing as a result of their pending application and if granted, would their be an immediate impact on share price?
2. Is there a functioning business today or is it just a Quantum hope story?
3. An overview for their potential growth if their areas of focus pan out.

I understand it's raw and speculative as well as that you likely don't cover it but the market cap isn't absurdly small and it seems to be focused in high upside areas.

Q: At today's price, for a 5 year hold, how would rate these stocks? In what order would you purchase and at what price?

Do you think that Fico price has now stabilized?

Q: In the last few months, I am up over 80% on both NBIS and RKLB. I would never have dicovered them without 5i. So this is just a big THANK YOU!

Q: Many thanks for your detailed response to my recent question on Google - "https://www.5iresearch.ca/questions/186348". Is it fair to assume that with 50+% of their revenue and possibly more of their EPS (due to higher margin within this vertical) that the stock price is fairly priced and that any future potential increases in stock prices will potentially require new product lines, ... As you stated, their vision is not clear. And until then, is it fair to assume that their stock price, from a P/E perspective, is lower than other Mag7 companies due to this caveat. Having said all of this, investors make (or lose) money when times are unclear and stock prices are deflated. What are your thoughts re the future of this company and what drives your investment thesis? Thanks.

Q: What is your rationale for picking this stock as small cap pick? The interest on the offering is high (and the eventual share dilution.) doesn’t worry you?
Is it because this actually improves cost of debt structure?

Q: What are the prospects of Coinbase? I recently listened to a podcast where they extolled its future role in speeding up money transfers and currency conversions and transactions across different countries. Sounded really convincing, but was hard to judge biases from the contributors.

Q: Hi a follow up to my previous question.
What do you believe as the best buying opportunity in the “US market” these days? 1 small cap stock 1 mid cap stock 1 large cap stock 1 ETF Thank you

Q: I’ve been watching Zoetis for a while now, but have not bought yet. It seems to me like it’s in a good business…people seem to spend plenty on their pets. It keeps going down though. Can you give me your opinion and would you buy it here?

Q: If you were setting up a diversified unregistered account for yourself from scratch using US ETFs today, for a long-term hold:

How would you approach this?
What would ETFs would you pick?
What percentage would you put in each?

Please charge multiple questions as needed. Thanks very much.

Q: Joby and Ramaco are each enjoying extreme price movements but for different reasons. Joby is partly owned by Baillie Gifford and Toyota; however, Ramaco has a fundamental history of success from its metallurgical coal operation. Which would be your choice for a speculative 5% purchase in an otherwise diversified portfolio?

Q: Hi 5i
From what I understand google has changed its AI driven search algorithm which will impact reddits traffic and revenues.
How would you evaluate the risk to RDDTs business and what action has reddit taken to fight this.
Where do you see reddit and SP going from here and would 5i start a new position at this time?
How comfortable, (1-10 rating with 1 being highest) would 5i be holding this one heading into earnings?
thx

Q: COST has fallen about 10% in the last 6 weeks or so. This seems to be more than what I would expect from volatility in the course of things. Has there been any news to lead to this? Do you think it is a tariff story? In questions over time, even recently, you have given it a favourable endorsement; do you still have that view, and if so, why? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Each of Joby, Rklb, and Metc have done well recently for various reasons. Does Metc's metallurgical coal business make it the more financially solid hence most conservative of the three? Which is best from your perspective?
Thanks!
David

Q: Good afternoon,

I’d like to commend 5i on the well thought out updates!

Looking to form a healthcare position. 3-5 positions. Long term growth in a TFSA.
These could be pharmaceutical, equipment etc etc.


Thank you very much.

Q: Is there any recent news on this company? I'm thinking of moving on from my investment.

Q: ISRG has been limping along for the past several months. I am now down 2%. I also note this stock is not owned by any 5i staff. And yet 5i consistently recommends it as one of the solid high growth stocks to invest in for the next 3-5 years. What is it going to take to get the stock moving again...and (gazing into that crystal ball on your desk) how long before momentum shifts and it starts behaving better? Running out of patience here, especially when there are so many stocks out there that are performing better. Thank you.

Q: Back in May, Craig had asked a question about BRK.B and its current valuation, and the response was:
"Historical multiples have been in the range of 17X to 33X, with an average in the low 20s. It is 25X right now so on the high side of history."

A few questions:
- was this referring to a PE ratio?
- now that it has declined a bit, what is the current valuation multiple?
- is this ratio listed in the BRK.B "profile" page on 5i?

Q: Hi Team,
If adding between these two names (GENI vs SRAD) would you add to one over the other or add to both? Should one "deserve" to be held at a higher weighting?
Thanks

Q: Looking for an additional, fresh, minor holding in Consumer sector-- Bath & Body Works.
PE 8, well covers the dividend of 0.80 on $32USD price
Analyst earning forecast positive.
Morningstar Analyst rating 5 star. FV of $61USD.
For comparison: often-covered ULTA is 2 star now.
Thoughts? (any big red flags?)
With thanks.

Q: Gordon Reid recommended Mas Tec this morning on Market Call. Can I have your opinion on the this company please?

Thanks for all your help.

Mike
