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.

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!

Any views on these maritime transportation stocks ? Is any of them a good buy now or do you prefer others ? Why are they registered in Bermuda or Monaco ?

I have $500,000 in 3 diversied accounts. I am wanting to deploy $10,000 next week. Regardless of sector, which stock would you pick to provide the best gains over the next 2-3 years.
Thanks

Q: Why did SHOP rise so much ( more in percentage than other stocks ) on Friday ? Is it a good time to buy WORK now to gain in 2020 ? Is PD , ZM, CRWD , oversold now ? AYX did not move on Friday which is a good day ?
Thanks a lot for your excellent service.

Q: I think you regard the debt to cash flow ratio as an important gauge of a company's vulnerability to a downturn, so I am combing my portfolio to find the weaker candidates. But I am baffled by ADM's huge negative operating cash flow (and even huger negative free cash flow, of course) in each of its last four quarters (though not in previous years). It reported healthy gross profit and net income in each quarter, and debt has not increased substantially. What's going on?
