Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5I; Microsoft has had a very successful run; it is hard to argue with success but some commentators on BNN have suggested it has now reached a bit of a top and will not continue to rise. Other BNN commentators have pointed to CVS as being good value and past their problems. I am thinking of a switch. Can you analyze the prospects for these two and provide your thoughts on this idea. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi there,
I know this is a bit out of your wheelhouse but i will ask anyways. I currently own Duke Realty which i have done well with. However, i am thinking of switching from Duke to Digital Realty given the recent correction in Digital. I know it will take some time to absorb their recent acquisition but i like their future growth given their expertise in Digital Data centres and the trend in Cloud computing. Your thoughts on the switch. I am looking for a bit of growth along with a nice divi.
I pay no trading fees so that is not a consideration!

(Sorry if this is a duplicate question - my computer died while i was submitting so not sure it went through)

Q: Hello 5i team. Laugh if you want, but I'm very tempted to take a small position in Tesla. On the one hand, the stock is up almost 70% in the last six months, they turned a modest profit last quarter as you well know, deliveries are at a record clip, and it definitely has the cool factor. On the other hand it has bled buckets of money for years, quality issues abound, and I'm torn between thinking Elon Musk is a pothead / space cadet, or a genius. Please act as my chamber of sober second thought on this one. Thanks.

US Telecom: VZ or T (i.e.,AT&T)

US Real Estate: CCI or AMT
US Industrial: HON or UTX.
Thanks much!

Q: I took a 1/2 position in ROKU a couple of weeks ago intending to hold for the long term. I am well represented in the sector already, but it was more of a growth move with some US cash I had sitting there. I'm now down 10% and the CFO has just stepped down, so I'm wondering if I should just cut my loss and wait to see what it does in the next few months, or if you think there is still good reason to hold. Thak-you!
