Q: Greetings 5i,

I currently hold a full position in BCE, and consider it one of my "core" holdings. Moreover, I very much like the prospects of the telecom sector as a whole, given its (at least in theory) ability to hold up well under adverse economic conditions. Thus, I have been considering adding a position in either AT&T or VZ to diversify my geographical exposure to the sector. I have a fairly long time horizon (I am 36), and am in no great rush, but would, nonetheless, greatly appreciate your insight into each as a long-term "core" addition to a generally conservative portfolio.

Thank you.

Q: Was considering a position in Equinix. I’ve read that the company lowered it’s Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO). Would you say this is reflected in the stocks chart. I understand that AFFO is typically used for Reits. Would you look at Equinix as a tech stock or a reit? Would it be a good time to buy, do you think they have a good future, do they have a good moat?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Thanks for your great calls on MU-Micron (up 6% in pre-market today) in one of your responses to members' questions & PHO-Photon.
Please let me know your opinions :
WWE recent increased 28% in three days due to new deal with FOX: buy more, sell or hold
OXY: buy to replace EQNR-Equinor ADR (New name of STATOIL) - we bought in November(up over 35%) in our US- RRSP account. Reason for switch for same growth, OXY has no dividend tax withholding and lesser currency fluctuation.
RMBS-Rambus: buy, hold or sell.
Thank you for the great work.

Q: I believe Axon sells more camera wearing devices than Tazers these days. The camera is one aspect of the sale but the ongoing revenue stream is from the servicing and maintenance of the information. I have been told that Axon has more information in the Cloud than You Tube. They have recently open up operations in Europe as well.

Q: Hi team,

I have been in SQ now for over 6 months and quite happy. Last night, PYPL bought iZettle, a Swedish payments company that is in competition with SQ. I guess good and bad about this for SQ. The bad part (for me anyway) is that PYPL did not buy SQ as that was speculated as a good possibility for some time. It also makes PYPL a stronger competitor for SQ. The good part I guess is that PYPL’s push into this segment endorses the “bricks and mortar” payments side where others are lukewarm about this segment but SQ has a strong presence. What is your view now about the competitive landscape for SQ and does this make a bid for SQ by another candidate more or less likely? I know you guys don’t like speculating on takeovers (except for SPOT, lol).

Thanks again,

dave
