Q: Hello 5i
On Jan. 26 question from Jean Guy you referenced research on TDY (Teledyne) yet the name and symbol above the question was Teradyne (TER).
Could you clarify which one you "quite like it today"?
Thank you
Dave

Q: In researching the recent Gamestop madness, I have read that many of the shorts will expire on Friday. Given that the shorting hedge funds have been doubling down on their positions:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/citadel-point72-to-invest-2-75-billion-into-melvin-capital-management-11611604340
is there any possibility that there is a cascading effect of hedge funds potentially getting liquidated? I know that speculating in this matter is akin to mental gymnastics, but I think that the GME holders are here to prove a point about the shady dealings on Wall Street. Is it possible that a showdown between greedy hedge funds and Robinhood/Reddit millenials leads to a wider market shock?

Q: Hi, my respected 5i team
What are your interpretations of its earing report today? What are the reasons behind the almost 7% price drop?
I think this stock will probably benefit from the global economic recovery after Covid. What are your opinions about it?
I have been watching this stock and been waiting for an entry point to buy, plan to hold it a year or two. Do you think the price here is attractive or at what price range you think is a good entry point?

Thanks in advance!

Q: Can you please compare and contrast BFT (Paysafe) and Nuvei? I have started to see a lot of buzz on BFT ahead of it's transaction and wonder if you would consider it a buy? Picking between BFT and Nuvei would you favour one or the other? The numbers seem impressive. Who are their other competitors and what is the potential total addressable market?

Thanks!

Q: With copper prices rising, I am starting to wonder about when recycling of copper will become more profitable than mining. A copper-porphyry geologist friend mentioned $4 CA being the price when it is more economical to recycle copper than mine it. Are there copper recycling companies in Canada or elsewhere that you are aware of and that you may recommend?

Thanks,
Ellen

Q: It appears that recently IPOed Whole Earth Brands shares a number of similarities with Beyond Meat in terms of it target market. I wasn't able to find a whole lot of information on the company. Would you happen to have any thoughts on it? Given its relatively low share price, I'm tempted to nibble at it before it attracts too much media attention and rockets much higher..

Q: Can you explain the lawsuit won by USAA against Wells Fargo for patent infringement on mobile remote deposit technology? How does this affect Mitek? Mitek and USAA settled a lawsuit a long time ago. The banks use the technology provided by Mitek. How can the USAA sue the banks for patent infringement? Is that not between USAA and Mitek ? Mitek reports on Thursday and the stock is on the move. What am I missing?

Q: What is the explanation for the drop, or inconsistency, of quarterly revenue from CRSP and is this a concern?

2019-09: $ 211 M
2019-12: $ 77 M
2020-03: $ 0.157 M
2020-06: $ 0.044 M
2020-09: $ 0.148 M

Their annual revenue in 2019 was $ 289.59 M and it does not look like they will come anywhere close to that number in 2021!

Thanks.

Q: How big are the short and option positions on Palantir? Considering the heavy trading volume the last few days is it possible this name could see a short squeeze stampede and slaughter such as Gamestop on Monday?

Q: Hello team, while I'm generally a buy-and-hold investor, I've actually done well in the past several months by buying Raytheon when it has a significant drop (to $50s or low $60s) and selling it after it quickly bounces up nicely into the $70s. It is again dropping towards the low $60s - and I do like the company and could be comfortable holding this longer term, for post-pandemic growth, etc.. Would you be keen on this stock for a longer term hold if one can pick it up in the low $60s? Thank you!
