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: Good day,
FIT was purchased by google for $7.35 in Nov 2019, now its 5 months later and the price is inching up the last few weeks to $6.80 . Without any bad news of change of plans over 5 months is the risk to hold it now much less then a few months ago?
Thanks,
George

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 .
