Investment Q&A

Q: I own small (2-3%) positions in Snowflake, MongoDB, and Datadog. Would you currently hold these stocks or sell them? If sold, what are some possible replacements in the tech sector?

If I were only to sell one, which holding would you let go of first and why?

Thanks.

Q: Hi, can I get your view on Intuit and how it might be affected by AI possibly in a bad way? I have a 35% gain in the stock with a 1% holding. Would you take that money off the table now and move it into something else or do you have a more positive outlook on it. I welcome your suggestions on stocks or sectors you might favour going forward from here. Thank you!

Q: I understand CRM, a software company, is getting into AI via software. Does 5iR know any other S&P 500 software companies doing the same thing???.....Happy New Year ......Tom

Q: What are your thoughts on VEEV recent earning? I have less than 1% in VEEV and have become frustrated with it after 3 years. Who is the leader in this sector? Who do they compete with? What kind of prospect do they have? Add, hold or sell?

Thanks

Q: PLTR or INTU at today's levels? Which would you choose?

Q: Hi,

With the stellar performance of NVDA over the last two years, what inning do you think they are in for future gains and what's the risk/reward setup? I'm up over 500% and NVDA is one of my top positions. I hear the AI revolution is just get started and its only 7pm and this party ends at 3am. As the AI revolution continues here, who are the top 4-5 companies that are next to benefit where they are trading at a fair valuation currently? Would it now be the software companies and enterprises? I can either continue to hold NVDA or thinking of occasionally trimming to buy some smaller companies that have more torque, such as PLTR (expensive) or CLS. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Currently holding SHOP, CSU, CRWD, TOI, NVDA, LMN, INTU, VRT, SMCI, CLBT in tech.

Q: Kindly comment on sprucepoint’s recent short announcement on Intuit.

It was a recommendation of your’s in the past and I am well up on it, thank you.

Q: In a recent Market Update (Aug 22) you spoke of the power of compounding and the key characteristics of a high compounding stock such as higher volatility, strong sales growth, lower dividends, premium valuations, etc. As a follow up to this topic could you please provide the 5 best US companies (or more if you wish) which you consider to fit these characteristics for long term compounding. Many thanks. Cal

Q: hi, in follow up to yesterday, what do you see as the reason for the price decline today? Powell speech? or other things in the earnings/guidance. is this a buying opportunity?

Q: Why the big drop,earnings appear good??I

Q: Good morning,

Can we please get your take on Intuit's earnings, and why the large share price drop considering their beat and raise? Is there a risk that the IRS is creating their own tax return software that will kibosh TurboTax? Still a hold, sell or a buying opportunity?

Thanks.

Q: Hello Team,
Do you like either or both of these two, which would you prefer and would you consider them comparable to Amazon for growth?
Thank You,

Q: Hi. Thoughts on recent earnings? Do you know what the free cash flow yield is, on a forward basis? Seems pricey at these levels. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

As individual DIY growth investor, what are some of the top things we can we do to maximize up-market capture vs minimizing down-market capture? I have a longer timeframe and am comfortable with volatility in the markets. With the strength in tech, the sector has run to ~26% (SHOP, KXS, CSU, NVEI, CRWD, TOI, NVDA, LMN, INTU), followed by financials 18%, cons disc 15%, industrials 12% and the others all below 6%.

Is it time to trim across the board and re-balance? How do you balance this while allowing strong compounders to continue performing over time? What are the key things to do focus on to beat the market going up while protecting those gains and minimizing downside?

Thank you!

Q: Could you please describe SPSC’s business model, competitive advantages or weaknesses? What are the key factors that would support a long term investment in SPSC? Would you be confident in their earnings forecast? Could SPSC be a takeover candidate?

Q: What would be your choice from $INTU, $NOW and $ADBE to start a new position.


Thanks, Valter

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Recently a tech expert came on BNN and mentioned that going forward, it is the SaaS companies that will benefit from AI revolution. His top pick was ORCL. But he mentioned NOW and CRM as well in passing. I looked at these companies using Finviz's screener (free version!) and I see ORCL has a lot more debt than the other two.

What would be your choice? If not these three do you have any other favourites? Many thanks.
