Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have depended upon NUANce's voice recognition software for twenty years. Good product & continuously improved with each iteration (now at Version 15). But as an investment it has been a dog -- bumping around the 10-20 USD range year after year. With no dividend to compensate. Until the pandemic. Since Mar 20 of this year the stock climbed from $14 and is now hitting $50, and still growing. One other point: their main software product, Dragon NaturallySpeaking (renamed Dragon Professional), was -- for nearly a decade -- priced at an MSRP of $150 USD. This month that price jumped instantly to $500 USD. Bam! My Question: Please offer your opinion about the prospects for this company as a worthy investment vehicle over the next few years. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team. I wanted to get your opinion regarding these companies. With investment in Rivian by Ford, GM's EV product and new cars, they both seem like good value opportunities with upside. Can you compare the two from a valuation perspective, and give your opinion?

Also, I read that Intel has best in class driverless car tech. Their legacy business is a drag on their PE. What are your thoughts on Intel and would you be a buyer?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

FInally bite the bullet on Sienna, looking to redeploy in the US topping up some or all of my US basket of health care. Please eliminate any of the above that you do not feel are a buy at this time and rank the rest within categories of strong buy, buy or hold.
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter,
The market did not take kindly to the revenue guidance for 2021 even if the growth rate would be 20%? Were the expectations from Europe much higher than what the company expects? What is your view? With its current valuation and projected growth, would you expect the stock price to stagnate? Unless they promise low and deliver over?
