Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
Any thoughts or words of wisdom on this merger (far outside your focus is understood) would be much appreciated.
Specifically, cineworld will be ramping up leverage for this deal. Would this make you nervous? I have a position in cineworld and am in the midst of a rights issue.

Thanks for any comment provided
Mike

Q: Hi 5i
Not so much a question as a request for reassurance about the volatility of the previous week. I've been picking up additional shares of cgnx (and others across both US / Canada ) and could do with hearing that I haven't missed obvious signs that the world is ending !

I've taken for granted the volatility-free markets we've had for some time but remember past panics where I watched without participating in, with hindsight, so called bargains.

Thanks
Mike

Q: I would like to get your thoughts on the latest news that Amazon is looking at the possibility of doing their own shipping and how this may affect Fedex. Should I continue to hold onto my Fedex shares (down slightly) or is this a good time to move on to something else? Maybe Amazon given that they are currently down?
Thanks!

Q: On further weakness, I will be looking to initiate a position in a solid lower BETA growth stock in US. The sort of steady Eddy for the long haul, like BCE in Canada. Would D fit that bill, or would you have any better suggestion?
Thanks

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on the potential purchase of QCOM by AVGO. Would the change in value after the Monday market drop & the possibility AAPL might switch to INTL chips infer the offer may now be revised?

As always - thanks for the insight!

Q: WOW!!
In your opinion, just bad results for big selloff?
Plus general market volatility? Or do you see something else?
Not a good sector to be in at this stage of the game?
Thanks

Q: Sorry guys, didn't see the response to Ichr before I send in my question. I suppose the real question now is it too late to get rid of as I am down quite considerable but it's only a small % of over portfolio.
Thanks again for your assistance.

Q: CBOE really dropped. Thought the company would be agnostic to market volatility, or even positive. Do they offer etf’s as part of their selection of products?Could drop in price be from massive inflows into etf’s finally hitting the wall? Would it be a good buy or how about writing a put?
