Q: How do you view this company's prospects and current valuation? While analysts expectations appear to have been on the rise in recent weeks the price has been soggy for some while, and I cannot determine the basis for the share price appreciation seen beginning in early 2018 through Q3 2019. The company's prospects seem now in question despite apparent growth in the underlying demand for their services.

Q: If one were to take a position in SNOW, is this as good a place as any to jump in? ... around $230ish or should one wait for the steam to settle?

I read your other response, and have done a bit of due diligence, but quite frankly I'm "lost in the clouds" when it comes to these mega-techs. I know that they take a life all their own, valuations be damned, it seems and such stocks become runaways before the valuation catches up.

Would it be worth a full/half/quarter position in a well diversified portfolio. This is my "looking at the future" stock.

Q: It appears this is the first question on Wrap Technologies ($8.35, market cap $305 million).. Quick blurb about them:

Wrap Technologies, Inc., a security technology company, develops security products for law enforcement and security personnel. It develops BolaWrap 100, a hand-held remote restraint device that discharges an eight-foot bola style Kevlar tether to entangle a subject at a range of 10-25 feet. The company was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona.

They are starting to get orders for BolaWrap from police departments. Their website claims "Policing Just Got Safer".

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Greg

Q: Hi 5i Team - In your answer to a previous question you referred to the meteoric rise of Shopify as a pretty unique company where things came together at the right time. Do you see another company in its fairly early stages that might be in the same situation that Shopify was two or three years ago (and still is). This company does not have to be in the tech field - any category is good. If you have ideas for more than one company that fits this description that's fine too. Thanks!

Q: I have been considering investing in JNJ but am concerned about its legal issues. These are highlighted in the most recent annual financial statements but are not mentioned in the subsequent quarterly releases other than to say that the company does not give guidance because it cannot predict the outcomes of legal matters. This indicates that they believe the issues are material.
Can you provide your thoughts about the company and the risks that the legal issues present.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hello,

At what price would the warrants for PSTH need to be purchased to have them make sense vs buying common shares? I understood the warrants to be equal to 1/9 of a common share. At present time, the PSTH shares are at 21.97 and the warrants (PSTH.WS) are at 7.60. How would you compute when to buy shares vs. warrants? Part 2 of the question would be when and how does PSTH.WS become common shares?
