Investment Q&A

Q: Looking to buy the dip and start positions in these names.

Could you rank these and suggest a reasonable target buy-in price or advise if you feel they are buyable now?

Q: C3ai just announced a $500 million contract with the US DoD. The stock reaction has been muted. Shouldn't the stock price have reacted better with such a deal. If not why not? Thanks

Q: My portfolio analysis suggests I am underweight in Basic Materials, Consumer Cyclicals, Utilities and Healthcare. I have USD to invest as I am also underweight in the US. Could you give me your 2 best suggestions for overall return (not high-risk) in each of these sectors individually as well as a group. I would also like to know if there are Canadian companies more attractive than your US suggestions in the same sector. Thank you for your help over the years

Q: Can I get your current evaluation of AMRC? In your opinion is it becoming more established or is the risk level still high due to being in a sector that has been hot for the past couple years?

Q: Hi 5i,

I received the tender notice from my broker today:

...Appleseed Merger Sub LLC is offering to purchase any and all outstanding shares of common stock, par value USD$0.01 per share, of CoreSite Realty Corporation at a price per Share of USD$170.00 without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, net to the seller in cash.

Terms:
Option 1: Cash (USD) (See Important Notes)
To receive USD $ 170.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes per share of CoreSite Realty Corporation tendered.
Option 99: Do Nothing (Default)
Holder to retain Security.

A few question I'm hoping you can answer:
1. When is the transaction expected to close?
2. If I do nothing it says I retain the security? What does that mean?
3. I am very sad to see the stock get taken over? What would be a good replacement for it? There aren't that many names in the same space. Would the replacements have the same growth potential?

TIA!

Wayne

Q: Can you please point to your top five U.S. industrials picks, assuming mid to high risk tolerance and a 5+ year hold?

Q: This is about topping up a half position in ISRG. Yea would like to do it but the market price rose somewhat like a hockey stick. With that, I'm reluctant to buy ISRG at this point. Seems to me, the market price is way ahead of the fair value and so I'll park the desire to buy ISRG. Keen to get your take on my "viewpoint". But if you consider ISRG a buy, what would be your entry point at this time?.....Thanks....Tom

P.S. While Bombers are at the top of the CFL, me, cheering for Ti-Cats ......but not wagering, rather saving my coins for one day topping up ISRG.......hahahaha

Q: Thoughts on this stock/growth prospects and valuation? Is it a buy?

Q: How do you see the U. S. Build Back Better bill (where the gov't will have more price negotiating power with pharmas) affecting the industry. Is Horizon, with it's rare disease drugs, more vulnerable than most?

Thanks,
Have a good week!

Q: Hello - just wondering what you think about this company. Thanks! ATOS on NASD

Q: I have noticed a lot more verification when I log into online accounts of various services (bank, shopping, etc). I'm curious if there is a company that manages all these text/phone verifications for the big players, and if it's publicly traded.

I think I recently saw with my gmail that they will be double verifying early this month.

If there is a publicly traded entity that does this, what are your thoughts on them?

Q: Hello Ryan, Peter and 5i Team,

Wondering if I can get your opinion on what one might do with Docusign? Having held it through the boom and now the bust, I'm not so sure that it will generate enough investor interest to return to its former peak within a reasonable timeframe (unless there is an extended Covid Lockdown 2.0).

What likelihood exists that it may be bought out at a decent premium, perhaps by Adobe? If your team is now somewhat lukewarm on this stock, can you please suggest 2-3 replacements that currently show higher growth potential.

Thank you.

Brad

Q: To my previous question on why some analysts are showing the third quarter EPS of DOCU as (-) 0.58$/share, your reply was beacause of different ways of calculating it- adjusted or non adjusted. Is the street expectation of EPS based on adjusted or non adjusted figures? Even then, I am a sure that values of EPS arrived through different accounting standards, would not be the same numerically. Here, it is + 0.58$ as reported by DOCU( including 5i) and negative 0.58$ reported by some analysts like Scotia . Please enlighten me if I have misunderstood something. Thanks.

Q: Hello, earlier this year I bought tesla at $590. I have watched it rapidly grow to what I believe overvalued. I set a 15% stop loss and I sold at $1045 I'm quite happy with this transaction. Do you think Im I wrong for getting out? Should I get back in? If I made the right move, can you recommend 2 stocks that I should look at? (Take as many credits for this.)
