Q: How likely is Mindbody going to receive a sweetened offer from Vista Equity Partners based on your experience?

Is the deal at risk here?

The cash offer represented a 68% premium to the prior trading day’s closing price but the SP was depressed due to recent reduced guidance combined with the fall's downturn. Shares have been trading at or near the purchase price of $36.50.

Q: I've noticed that despite the tech meltdown recently, some have held up quite well such as RPD (Rapid 7). I found this a bit surprising given that the company was smaller than others such as NVDA.

Is the relative strength a positive sign? Are there other notable tech companies with positive relative strength vs peers? Thanks!

Q: I am a 75 year old RIF investor and generally invest conservatively in dividend paying companies, but I do like to allot a portion of the investment to something that might fly.

I have previously owned GC and TSGI, but sold both at a loss and bought LVS, which at least pays a dividend. It too, has been a loser, so I would like to know whether There is more chance of recovery with GC or TSGI than LVS, or whether I should just stay the course.

What are your thoughts?

Q: Do you know when is Apple next earnings call ? I would like to see some analyst challenge CEO Cook about outrageous pricing that pushes them out of the market. Did he mislead the investor on November first when he said that “business in China was very strong?” If things goes really bad is it possible that the board could remove Cook as CEO before the end of 2019 ?
