Investment Q&A

Q: who are the major competitors to FTNT?. what percent of FTNT revenue is recurring? how are FTNTs revenue divided worldwide? what is the degree of insider ownership? thanks Richard

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you suggest a few cyber security stocks, Canadian and U.S., including established companies that are profitable as well as two or three newer ones that show some promise but may or may not be profitable yet. Any market cap is fine. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I’m thinking of selling a few stocks at a loss to balance out capital gains (I trimmed NVDA since my stock position got too high). I can cover an equivalent loss by selling two (or a combination of all 3) of the following stocks: DIS, TTD and CRWD. I bought all 3 at a much higher price. CRWD and TTD have had a nice bounce and I’m thinking that the near term environment of debt ceiling and sell in May could be a good time to take losses. I’m wondering if you have other items I should consider related to selling now versus later this year? If later, what would be a good time to consider?

I have other similar tech stocks such as GOOG and ZS and I’m wondering if I should consider another proxy for any or not bother? And I’m also wondering about re-buying at a reasonable entry point after 30 days for any of the 3 or simply move on?

I’d appreciate any insights you could provide.

Thanks as always,
Lisa

Q: Is there a particular reason Zs has been falling?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have a handful of smaller position stocks that have not done well and that I believe I should high grade. Which ones you would recommend moving on from?

Thanks

Q: I've held this stock for quite some time . Paid $52.38. It went over $350.00 and is now hanging in at approx. $134.00. Been a wild ride ! I believe it is still not profitable. Take a profit or hold ? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I own the above noted stocks as a smaller portion of my portfolio of higher risk names. All of these names are down other than CTS. Do you see any of these names as ones that I should sell as part of a portfolio clean up?

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Q: Would you have a good proxy for CRWD or just wait for a rebound?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Is ZS a buy at these levels?

Q: Hello 5i!
At this point in the cycle can you please rate the following as buy, sell or hold. I know you sometimes say in a different kind of market high growth can do well. Can you please comment on whether one should decrease technology holdings in general or just wait for tech to shine again one day. Thank you!

Q: Would you have a good proxy for CAE (I own AC), CJT, MX,MPW, CRWD for a tax loss or should I just wait for the stocks to recover?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Can you provide me with an artificial intelligence ETF both canadian and US.
Also what large and small capstocks are at the forefront of this new trend.
Sort of like Microsoft, intel and Cisco in their infancy.

Q: Hi there, I'm thinking of adding the following stocks to my portfolio to make up a total of 3% to 5% of my overall holdings - so a relatively small amount overall. Can I please have your thoughts on them and if you'd rate them as buy, sell or holds? And if sell or hold, which names would you replace them with?

Thank you!

Q: Good day,

I am looking for a good (over-priced) US stock to for a Put spread - one where the premium (implied volatility) is reasonable. I had a Put spread on TSLA, but got out of it when they announced the spilt (as those options, post-split, go to the liquidity wasteland). Thanks

ps. I would prefer a US stock, but if that is not doable, then CDN will do. Thx

Q: Hello 5i,

For tax-loss selling looking for 30 day proxies for NET, SNOW and PINS.

Thanks

Q: Hello,
Would you please indicate which cybersecurity stocks you would buy at this time? Top 5 rating them in order 1 being the best to hold long term.
Thank you.

Q: Hello I’ve been watching what has been going on in our world and it is terrifying and heartbreaking
Would you have a few cyber security stocks we could add to our portfolio and stocks that you would be looking at in these times
Thank you and take care

Q: Down on CRWD and thinking of selling (early tax loss harvest). What stock and/or ETF would be a good proxy?

Q: As we move into 2022 I find myself looking for long-term trends that I can believe in and consequently feel safe to invest in. It seems to me that:
1. FINTEC
2. Cyber security
3. Payments
are three such trends. I'm curious if you agree with my three choices and if you do could you suggest a couple of companies in each trend that would be your favourites. Finally, are there other viable long term trends that you think I have missed?

Q: good evening,

I have tax losses that I can harvest on these 2 companies but, I don't want to miss the boat if the market turns. What are the best proxies you can recommend or should I hold?

Thanks!
