Investment Q&A

Q: I am thinking of buying Intel for my grandchildren's account. Do you see any potential for growth in the near future? Please provide recommendations that you see have a good entry price at this time. As well would this be a good time to buy US funds? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5iR,
Cannabis advertising platform Weedmaps going public with $1.5 billion valuation with blank-check acquisition firm Silver Spike Acquisition Corp. I do realize that SPAC merger companies are usually future growth potential companies. What interests me here is a company that is claiming to be profitable since every year in its operation,
has grown revenue at a CAGR of 40% over the last five years and is on track to deliver $160 million in revenue and $35 million in EBITDA for 2020.

Can you give your guidance on this. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi guys, I have 80 WORK stocks and 25 CRM stocks and was wondering if I should sell my WORK stocks or keep them. With the Slack acquisition from Salesforce, I am not sure what the implications are. Can you please explain and what is beneficial in either keeping or selling my WORK shares. Thank you so much for your service. Keep up the good work! No pun intended.

Q: Can I get your opinion on this company and the pedigree of the people involved in it...additionally , when a SPAC and the acquired company merge is there just one corporate structure or is it convoluted ...please and thank you...cheers

Q: I know it’s a good problem to have but my listed tech stocks have done really well thanks in part to recommendations from 5i. So much so that I now have 41% in the tech sector. Since selling my mutual funds and establishing my own portfolio, your guidance and suggestions have been so much appreciated. It seems that other sectors may be the place to be as we come out of the pandemic. The issue is that these are for the most part proven quality stocks. I’m not keen on selling any of these. Does one bite the bullet and sell some ? If so suggestions are appreciated? Or does one just trim profit and migrate into other sectors and buy more of companies like DOO GSY and WELL? Thanks

Q: I am interested in investing in solar with the thinking it has room to grow significantly. I see from previous questions you have mentioned FSLR and TAN. I would value your opinion on preferred US solar stock(s) and which would recommend now i.e. , FSLR, Tan or other in US? Thanks so much.

Q: Hi Peter,
I asked this question several yrs ago; If you became a fund manager again starting this week, what would be the first stock you would want to buy? Your answer was CSU:ca

Now that you are becoming a fund manager again, what would be the first stock you plan to buy? That's if you can answer. Thanks

Q: Good afternoon and Happy Friday,

I would like to discus 4 stocks. Feel free to take four credits if you like. First of all I have 4 main drivers of my account now propelling it to new all time highs. They are SBUX, DIS, ABBV, and MEOH. As for AD.UN I simply am just wondering if you know when they may announce their next dividend?

Starbucks for the next 3 to 5 years out looks like an amazing investment. It represents 11.57 % of all my accounts. I am comfortable with the large weighting considering the outlook. My cost is $18.27 and I have been told to trim and sell but have never done so. What is your outlook for Starbucks and do you see a split in the near future?

As for Disney the outlook looks great as well. It is hard not to want to sell a stock that has risen so much so quickly but its only 6.75 % of my accounts. With the latest streaming developments and once the parks get back to normal I cant help but think there is a ton of more runway to go. What is your outlook on DIS and do you think they will bring back the dividend anytime soon? I bought the stock for dividends but I am very happy with the share price.

What is your opinion of ABBV for a long term hold?

I bought MEOH at $45.00 a share. Considering I watched it go all the way to approximately $9.00 and back I am tempted to sell now considering I am almost back to even. But considering methanol prices and the future of the company maybe I should hold for the long term and watch the economy recover.

Thanks
Jimmy

Q: Hi guys,
Thanks for your great service. I was wondering what you think of the ABNB pricing in the IPO and whether this is worth chasing after a first day doubling.
If you were to rate this opportunity compared to other high multiple companies such as SQ, TTD, U, SHOP, LSPD, XBC, DOCU, VEEV, AMZN, NVDA, and CRWD, where would you say that it fits in? Is it worth a swap to buy?

Q: These companies have been drifting off their highs and am wondering if there is a particular reason for this; wondering if this is a good time to buy, or hold, and which you think have the best value and potential? Thanks!

Q: What are your thoughts on NGVT?

Q: Hello and Good Morning,
In the recent months, many analysts have become bullish and more confident about the company, and have expressed confidence in the new CEO. The high debt has always been a concern for this company but it appears that the new CEO is taking prudent steps to reduce this and is his priority for the turnaround.
The share price has seen a very good appreciation in the recent weeks. What are your thoughts about this now, in the medium to long term ?
Appreciate your advice.

Q: Hi

The Globe and Mail mentioned potential Cloud investment ideas today. CLOU-Q, WCLD-Q, SKYY and a new Canadian name DATA-T. I currently own Microsoft which gives me some Cloud exposure. I am wondering what your opinion would be to invest in this space?

Q: I recently purchased Qualcomm as it seems to be a frequent recommendation of 5i's.
I'm around the break even point at this time due to its decline on Friday after news came out about Apple making its own chips, replacing those of Qualcomm.
This represents about 11% of their revenue.
Do you still recommend holding the stock or switch to something like Nvidia?
