Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is Quidel worth owning on its merits -- quite apart from the diagnostic testing that's given it an incredible pop in the last month? As a health care play, would you prefer this one over Teladoc, (TDOC) for instance. I realize they are not "exactly equivalent" in terms of their intrinsic businesses, but I am looking for solid growth story in the health field.

Q: I'm trying to understand the complicated US Health Care system! Are HUM and UNH competitors? From a stock purchase perspective, would you be buyers of either/both these companies? If not them, what are your favourite health care stocks in the US?
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team,
I follow a number of the stay-at-home stocks but question their valuations and wonder about their staying power. One that has been on my watchlist for awhile is CHGG. The stock price jumped recently after a very strong earnings report, so I may have missed the run. It is gathering analyst support for its on-line education platform for courses, tutoring and reference material for high school and college students. With a number of universities in Canada and the U.S. keeping campuses closed at least until the January semester, does CHGG have some staying power for its on-line educational services? What are your thoughts on CHGG?
Thanks again for the insight.

Q: Hi, I'm looking to add to the fintech world. I'm sure online purchases and contact-less (cash less) payments only continue to increase.

What is your favorite growth stock in this category (1) overall, and (2) one that is well positioned to succeed in both the physical space (contact less at stores) and online (web payments).

C.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Guess is a clothing company which caters to the young and trendy. It is international and has a high visibility brand name. I know retail is devastated and there will be bankruptcies large and small. However people still need cloths. On the plus side they have a strong international footprint, there online marketing is strong and there clothes are most affordable for there young clientele.So I am wondering if this company has what it takes to survive this crisis. I do own this stock and of course am underwater. So I wonder what to do...double down at such a low price, just do nothing or run from retail. Your thoughts are always of great value for retail investors as we manage our portfolios...thank you immensely.

Q: WBA: this one is driving me crazy - I have held for a long time. Last 4 Q beat except for one previous to the April report. I keep thinking I should add to my position. You would think pharmacy would be doing well during this panic crisis? I know people were worries about Amazon; but, quite frankly, it has not panned out. Any analysis you have would be appreciated. Maybe, I should sell and buy technology - already own IGM Etf - had for 3 years.

Q: Hi Team,
I like to buy stocks in tranches of 3 to give me time to further evaluate from time and new information. If a stock experiences incredible growth in between I find it hard to revalue as I generally don't expect exponential growth. How or what do you do with a stock that has run far higher than you expect before you get to your full book position? My example is DocuSign which I got my initial position at 45 and in 6 months now at 120 (which is great). I see you like Docu even at these levels, do I just buy the remainder of what would be a full position and not think about my initial price (which tends to anchor in my mind)
Thanks! My first 5i question!

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
Given the announcement this past Monday by PNC Financial Services that is exiting its investment in BlackRock Inc. and that BlackRock has agreed to buy back shares worth $1.1billion, how do you think this is going to affect BlackRock's share price going forward.
Cheers,
