Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
I’m thinking of doing some tax loss selling. Can you suggest proxies for the following companies: Roku, Trade Desk, Twilio, Unity Software and Zoom Video.

Would you also be able to suggest an ETF that would serve as a proxie for all of them? I’m thinking of a high-growth-stock ETF like the SPYG.

Thanks

Q: Thoughts on FTNT, SHOP, FB, TWLO?

Q: Your take on TWLO please. Any concerns over the very high marketing costs?

Thanks Leo

Q: What do you think of twilio's downside from here? Is it a company that that you like once the tech market's calm down. Where do you think the long term upside potential for this company is? What are the pros and cons of this stock, concerning the market they are in and where they rank in it, the financial ratios, insider buying/selling ? Would you consider it a buy, hold or sell at this time? Is this and will this be a dominant player? Thanks

Q: Both of SQ and TWLO had taken a beating recently . Do you see them as a hold and wait or do you think it's time to sell ? Thank you for your opinion .

Q: I think Twilio reports this week?? What is your view on Twilio, is this a good entry point/

Q: Hello 5I. I have a full position at about the current price. With that said I am wondering if you still consider this stock to be a very good growth stock longer term? Or if you think there are much better alternatives in the high risk segment this lives in. Thanks

Q: I am considering positions in Digital Turbines, Crowdstrike, Twilio and Nvidia as the market declines. What is your short and long term views on these companies? Is 1/3 positions a good strategy until the markets settle??

Q: Hi, There are lots of high growth companies out there with little or no free cash flow. Growth investors accept this because these companies invest aggressively in their own growth, development, market position, etc.

While it's understandable that high growth companies focus on their own growth now, presumably they will eventually need to switch to other forms of capital allocation. I am wondering if you have any insight into how much confidence we should have in which of these management teams will act in the best interest of shareholders when the time comes to maximize shareholder value via other forms of capital allocation. For example, if a company reaching maturity throws most of their resources into R&D despite diminishing returns it would not be in our best interest.

I realize the answer to this isn't completely knowable, so also interested in your general thoughts on this topic.
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I am an aggressive investor, which paid off lovely in 2020, but now am being crushed. I hold the following stocks (with weightings in brackets) in total in my brokerage accounts. Could you have a quick look and tell me how this basket looks "In general"? And if you see this basket doing well over the longer term (say 5-10yr hold), pointing out any suggested changes you would make, if any are "sells" or worth switching out. Note that if I sell any GSY it would incur tax (the weighting is large because the position has grown and have been a firm believer in the company as its valuation still looks cheap and am collecting a nice div off it as well). I am 42yrs old so retirement is a ways away and my goal is maximum returns with reasonable risk until retirement. Please deduct credits as required. Thanks

Q: Thoughts on the above stocks, buy, sell or hold?

Q: Out of the above companies (CRWD, ROKU, SNAP, PATH, DDOG, TWLO) - which do you have the most conviction for? How would you rank them? Are there any of this list that you would avoid?

Q: EFR just reported their earnings, how was it? any upside left in share price?

TWLO is keeping going down, buy more, hold or sell?

As always many thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

With the recent pull back do you consider TWLO current price ~$280 a good entry point? Do you still like the prospects (i.e.) growth, or is this a falling knife? Will Rising Interest Rates put further pressure on the valuation?

Q: What triggered the huge sell-off today?

Q: Hello Team,
Could you rank these three different securities for growth and safety. Are they all companies you would recommend?
Thank You,
Barry

Q: HI 5i team,
Which of the two cloud companies would you consider the better investment and why?
Thanks.

Ken

Q: HI, 5i team,
What are a few of your best Cloud Companies.

Ken

Q: Please comment on the earning reports. Please rank them according to potential upside . And what is a good entry price ? Thanks for your excellent service .

Q: Hello 5i, a report from RBC came out this morning with their ''need to have'' tech companies. Their Outperform ratings were on COUR, DBX, DCT, DOCU, JCOM, PEGA, TWLO and PEGA. Are you familiar with those companies and could you please mention your (2) favourites of the list and why? I own DOCU and TWLO already. If your preference is the same, it'll be a relief. If they aren't, I would open a new position since I have room for another one in terms of my allocation. Much appreciated, thank you.
