Q: Hello, I would like to have your opinion on XHAK. I have been looking at buying a cybersecurity stock for some time, trying to decide between Palo Alto and Crowdstrike and some others. Could this ETF be a way in the sector? Looking at the portfolio, it includes some cos that don’t seem to be directly involved in cybersecurity, though. Not sure why these are included in this ETF… Thanks

Thanks for the great service

Q: These companies are all operating a cloud platform that delivers a range of network services to business world. Are they basically similar so they are competing against one another? If I am interested in this space, should I buy them all in equal weight? or just one or two names? Your thoughts please. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I enjoyed your flash update and the reasons for stock downgrades or holding the line, even though I am largely U.S. focussed these days. AKAM has come to my attention in a couple of analyst reports as being a backbone of the stay-at-home theme in routing traffic through its servers and its traffic levels are soaring. However, I don’t fully trust the theme in medicine and video conferencing as their valuations are extreme. I also note that on bad market days the stay-at-home stocks do well and on good market days, they do poorly, as if the market seems to be skeptical of them. So, does AKAM have some staying power if the stay-at-home trade ultimately wanes?

Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: Grateful if you could update your 2016 views on this stocks. How does it compare to Alteryx (ayx) , Five9 (fivn) and other cyber security stocks. How would you rank them for a purchase now . ?
Gratefully,
Jacques

Q: Hello 5i,

Your service last addressed AKAM in 2014. Although positive in 2014, the stock really got hit at the beginning of the year 2016 and I was not sure if that was company or market related. Is AKAM considered a market leader? Would a bigger company like MSFT, or GOOGL be interested in taking it out? Does AKAM have a moat in this space?
What is the growth expected going forward (2017)? Would you add to a position (currently 2%) at today's price ($67 range).

Thanks for all your hard work. kathleen
