Investment Q&A

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

Q: In your answer to a question today where the member had a higher risk tolerance you suggested BOX was a good American choice. I've noted you have done this in the past. Please explain to me why you are so positive on the potential of this company and give me a bit more detail regarding exactly what services the company provides. Once again I can't thank you enough for your services.

Q: Recently I opened a Corporate Investing Account for our small business to put money not currently required vs sitting in a bank account ; investing period would be at least 5 years. Funds are in USD so the plan is to invest in US stocks and currently plan to invest $15,000 to $50,000 USD. I am considering MSFT , NVDA and V. Your comments / recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I should no better than to get 'hungry' for a stock i've been eyeballing for a while the week it announces its earnings but we probably wouldn't have a market if we ALL acted rationally.

I am tempted to buy before they announce. Your thoughts on my irrational needs ( and anything else to inform the cause).

Much thanks,
Mark

Q: Johnson and Johnson is a highly rated company. However they are facing a large number of law suits, mostly related to talcum powder. Although the scientific basis for these lawsuits is extremely weak, I am concerned about the legal system in the USA. Would you recommend I keep holding my JNJ shares or sell and invest in something else in the USA? Diversification is not an issue.

Q: Hi Ryan
I have been trying to formulate an investment thesis regarding the impending roll out of 5G and am wondering if 5i has developed any ideas as how to invest in this technology. Noticed a few commentators have indicated that the best way would not necessarily be with the telcos but rather with the "picks and shovels" providers like chip makers or contract manufacturers.

Also, read an interesting piece the other day on SA regarding CCI in the US positioning itself for 5G.

Thanks for your insight

Brad

Q: Hi team,
I follow a lot of U.S. tech. One that I actually haven’t been following closely at all is GRPN. It came to my attention this morning on a Seeking Alpha alert on GOOG. It seems that GRPN may be putting itself up for sale and several U.S. big tech names may be interested (or may not be). I was a bit surprised to see no questions on it yet on your website so time for me to use another credit.

I am never used GRPN but I believe you can sign up and get discounts off meals, travel and many other services. I think it is a highly competitive space and their stock chart looks like a disaster since its IPO a couple of years ago. I don’t like buying stocks just on takeover speculation but it is a nice kicker if there is merit in the underlying business model, which I suspect is likely not the case here.

Your thoughts?

Thanks again,
dave

Q: I just read an article about the future of Esports by B Carlson and he concludes that Esports is (will be) very big. Any ideas how to invest in this growing trend? Not sure that players bet on outcomes, so TSGI may not be relevant. Apparently Bezos owns a piece of the action, so maybe Amazon?
Thanks for helping with this rather difficult question.

Q: I recently entered into a 2% position in the recent dip when Amazon announced the PillPack acquisition. This dip was shortly after WBA's addition to the DOW. Do companies historically see short to medium term strength after being added to the DOW? The long term trend isn't great on WBA so I am trying to decide whether I should lock in profits and enjoy the successful trade or hold it longer term as an investment. My healthcare allocation is ~5% including WBA.

Q: Cintas has been very good to me but I am seeing comments recently that it is currently very much overpriced and will probably take a serious hit with the first sign of bad news. I believe it is a great company but I am thinking it may be time to move on. What is your opinion of holding on to this stock vs. putting a close stop loss on it?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Another question about this company if you please. It is about trading volumes. The other day BBOX in a filing to the SEC stated that they might run out of cash by the end of the year and have to file for bankruptcy. The stock crashed from $1.95 to $0.75 in a few hours. Then 2 days later they announce a great giant contract and the stock recovered closing at $2.03 today. The company has 15.1M shares outstanding yet the trading volume today was 61.4M...YES that is right 61.4M. That is 4X more than the entire float. So as a rookie investor I am trying to understand this incredible volume. Is this professional day traders buying and selling ...buying and selling knowing that the price has to continue to rise. Also I notice large orders going through...are these mutual funds buying and selling when they have made a 5-10% profit.
Would you rate this as a very unusual event. Your assessment please! Thank you immensely.
