Investment Q&A

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

Q: COR, the US data center REIT, is down 7% in the first 2 hours today . There was one downgrade---just one analyst (Cowen). I have searched for other news and found none. I don't have the Cowen report; perhaps you have access? Other analysts have not reported anything negative. And neither is there any other news [ yet] that I could find to justify the suden report. Granted, based on just numbers alone COR did look overvalued, and Robos did conclude that as they are based on just robotic (automated) analytics. So, what has changed? It is tempting to buy COR.(the Ex-div is a couple of days yet holders are dumping). Clearly , the market knows something that has not yet been reported. What gives, do you know/can you tell? Does Cowen have THIS much impact? I doubt that, so there must be something else surely? What is your view on today’s price on this US REIT? You have favored COR.us in the recent past.

Q: In my cash account, I am down 22% on BABA, up 52% on ALGN and up 54% on TRHC . Would you claim a loss on BABA and buy either ALGN or TRHC? Sectors are not an issue. I do like BABA, but the war between Trump and China seems not to be resolved in the near future.

Q: Hi 5i,
I know very little about the video game and e-sports industry in general so I would like to get your thoughts on it.

As a possible entry into this area Activision Blizzard has been mentioned a couple of times over the last few days on BNN. Would this be one of the better stocks to invest in in this sector?

I have also heard mention of EA and TTWO but once again I know very little about this sector and these stocks so I would like to get your opinion. Are they worth considering?

Thanks. Love your service!
Brian

Q: I made an investment in Blackstone some time ago as a source of fairly high and reasonably secure income. It also offered me diversification into private equity and additional investment in the US.
It's now had a significant move up and I'm inclined to "stay the course" for the reasons given. While I understand that you don't concentrate on US investments I would still appreciate your current opinion on this one.

Q: Recently I have sold my position in QCOM and now my equity portfolio has only about a 5% exposure to Technology. The main holding being XLK.
From your growth portfolio, I was considering a small position in PHO. The stock seems to be in decline. Is now a good entry point or should I wait for things to settle?
What Tech stocks or ETFs would you suggest?

Q: I am interested in the cyclicality of this sector, not necessarily seasonal issues, and curious as to the reasons for the pullback in these and I gather other US issues. Can you comment please and provide the names of four or five other major gaming companies. Is there an ETF which represents the sector? Thank you
