Investment Q&A

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

Q: Please give insight on the business model that CPSI follows. It just reported reasonable results. Hares gapped up for only a day before falling back down. This could be due profit taking in this thinly traded security. What insight please on :
1. MOAT
2.PEG
3. Debt (manageable?)
4. Sufficient insider ownership ? (Considering its tiny size and negative price history)
5. Price to free cash flow;
PLEASE any information (of *substance* ) you can provide from your expert sources would be very helpful.


I don't expect you to know whether or not this is a candidate for a buy out by a larger company. Nevertheless , do you think CPSI is a better than average candidate for a consolidator in its industry?

Q: A JPM analyst made the comments below in an article I read. 5i has also noted this rotation to date. Do you agree with the below and could you list 6-8 stocks in both the US and Canada that would benefit most?
=============
The massive rotation into value stocks that rocked investors two months ago is going to extend into 2020, according to J.P. Morgan’s quant guru Marko Kolanovic.

The quant, whose reports have moved markets in the past, predicted rotation, going so far as to call it a “once in a decade” trade.

Value names staged a comeback in September after years of underperformance as investors bet on economically sensitive, cheap stocks on hopes for a U.S.-China trade deal. The strategist believes the rotation has more room to run on the back of the improving macro environment.

Q: I recently watched American democratic leadership debates and was quite surprised how anti-capitalist several of the main candidates were. Do you have any concerns of investing in companies subject to socialistic policies (I am assuming the democrats will possibly win the next election)?

Q: Hello. I'm currently sitting on a loss with ILMN and you've mentioned a few times in recent months that it will likely take some time to recover. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to move the money into some other businesses that are likely to grow faster than the rate at which ILMN recovers.

Sector differences aside, would you recommend any of the following as good candidates for this?

AMZN
FB
PYPL
None of the above (i.e. You expect ILMN to recover faster than the growth in any of the above.)

Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team,

This is a further question on healthcare and their binary outcomes on drug trials and approvals. I did buy MDT by the way based on its growth prospects and little or no dependence on drug approvals. This question is on AMRN and more generally the FDA approval process. AMRN has an upcoming date with the FDA on November 14th. From a business site, I quote “The Adcom review of the sNDA for Vascepa on its cardioprotective benefit is scheduled for November 14, 2019 with PDUFA planned for December 28, 2019”. What does that mean and how does one go about handicapping the odds of FDA approval or not? If this is largely a coin flip, then I will pass. If it is a progression towards likely approval, I may take a small position. I also understand that AMRN will be subject to a trading halt on Thursday while the review process is underway.

Thanks again for your insight into AMRN and the FDA approval process.

P.S. I notice that NXTC is down over 50% in the pre-market, a stock you mentioned in the FP for its crazy run last week. I thought tech stocks were volatile. They trade like utilities compared to drug stocks!
