Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have US cash to deploy and want to do so gradually in stages. I am already well invested in US Tech and I also have decent positions in COST and AMZN. Could you recommend some other US companies - those that have been unfairly punished by the virus that could be good long term investments. Also looking for some international exposure.
Thank you,
PD

Q: Hello,

What is your opinion on Capital One Financial? I noticed they have large insider ownership (for US financial institutions). The CEO has been there for 16 years. They were profitable during the financial crisis and apparently have strict underwriting. They have been beaten down worse than many. How do you think they will fair during this time? Would you buy here and if so, what is your target price in 12 months time?

Thank you!

Q: Wondering what you think of this company? It is a spinoff from Hewlett Packard that i had in my account. I noticed one question about in in 2018 when you mentionned it had a high debt load. I notice that it makes much larger swings than the general market on up's and down's. And i was wondering whether it might be a good candidate for swing trading, especially since i have a bit of it already.
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I am holding TWLO, and down 12% on it as of today. It has been showing some strength lately with the other tech names, but perhaps not as much as some others. What do you think of this companies growth potential? I am wondering if I should hold it, or if you would recommend switching the holding into a different US tech growth stock that you are much more convinced of (was noticing ROKU or DOCU)? I currently already hold NOW, AYX, CRM, SQ,TTD,FB. Thanks for your advice.

Shane.

Q: With oil Storage at a premium , and contango in the futures market
is relatively strong. the value of these oil tanker companies is fairly cheap and they have been able to increase their oil storage price.
This seems to me setting up for some very profitable earnings .
If you agree which companies would you prefer in this situation ?
Thanks

Q: What are some of your favorite US growth names right now? I am a younger investor with some money to deploy. I have a 20+ year time horizon. I am not too worried about sector allocation due to having a defined benefits pension when I eventually retire (20+ years).

I am also wondering what US stocks 5i staff are currently buying and why.

Thanks for all your advice. I read the questions daily. Your support through these tough times (my first as an investor) has been beyond insightful and finding I am getting my financial education through your words of wisdom and advice. I keep speaking highly of you to my friends looking to get into investing and am encouraging they subscribe to your service as it is beyond exceptional.

Thanks for all that you all do! Hope you and yours are safe and healthy during these tough times.
