Investment Q&A

Q: ELF Beauty has continued to drop. Would you average down or simply exit the position?

Q: My first question is just out of curiosity . When I do a question search on MU using the Canadian CDR and the American stock symbol I get two sets of different answers ..... { and the questions have nothing to do with hedged currencies } I found I got more company specific questions using the American symbol . Why is that ?

Up until now I have been uninterested in the MU CDR but my interest is now tweaked . So I have been a throwing a lowball price at it daily . Each day my order goes unfilled and the following day the price is below what I wanted to pay so I do the same thing. { Today's lowball bid is $16.37 } .

Now I would like to get educated on what I am attempting to buy . All I know is it is a memory chip maker .....I'd like to know ..... A current P/E ratio ? A forward P/E ratio ? A comment on future expectations both from you and the company ? Why are investors selling ? What would make it stop falling ? Do you expect it to stop falling ? In other words an overall analysis to help me decide whether to stop lowballing and just make a decision to buy or not to buy ...... Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: I remain with a small position in OBDC. Even though it is down a fair bit and has been for quite some time, There has been many comments about OWL but not OBDC. I bought it for the dividend and will be happy enough as long as it continues. Do you see the OBDC dividend as secure? Do you see any prospect that the whole enterprise might collapse? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hello team,

Is ARM a buy?

"Arm just announced a new data center CPU chip, the Arm AGI CPU, which can directly compete with its customers. Meta Platforms and OpenAI are initial customers for the Arm AGI CPU, with Meta citing significant improvements in data center performance. The new chips will compete with data center CPUs from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices." Barron's

It is up 8% after hours.

Appreciating your unbiased review and investing insight...Always! :)

Q: Your thoughts on these two. Safe haven or value trap? Thought on the dividends? Technically, they look like they might be approaching some support.

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

May I have your updated assessment of AAOI please? (Applied Optoelectronics)

It looks like it's been doing well the last 11 months alongside COHR and LITE then it doubled more dramatically in a month on its last earnings. Is this justified in their fundamentals, or is it possibly driven by profits searching for the next opportunity to make quick money?

(It also looks like AAOI's earnings haven't been as consistently good as LITE and COHR over the last while.)

Thank you,

Sandra

Q: A recent barrons article said SK Hynix is planning to raise funds in the US and this could hurt Micron::

"A U.S. listing for SK Hynix might persuade some investors to diversify their memory-chip holdings. The Korean company trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of around 4.8 times according to FactSet, compared with 5.3 times for Micron."

Do you think that SK Hynix raising funds to increase capacity, as well as seeking a US listing, would have much impact on the share price of MU???

Q: Why is CSIQ Canadian Solar Inc doing so poorly & SEDG Solaredge Technologies Inc seems to be doing better?

Q: I hold balanced positions in Google, Microsoft, META, Apple, Netflix, NVDA and Amazon. They have all pulled back.

Thanks

Q: Do you still see TDG favourably, and if so why? It has been on a noticeable slide for the last 6- 7 weeks; has there been any news or alternatively, can you see any explanation for this? I currently am down about 16%; if it were you, would you sell and move on? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: With the recent news and huge share price drop due to "indictment charging several individuals, including a Super Micro co-founder and board member, a sales manager, and a contractor, of “conspir[ing] to divert billions of dollars” of servers illegally to China in violation of export controls"

1) Is this a good buying opportunity if the investing time horizon is 3+ years?
2) does this recent news affect the future earnings potential of this company?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Any rationale for the recent sharp moves lower with CELH?
