Investment Q&A

Q: Hi gang,
Can you suggest me ntnx or net? What would be a safer bet. ? Who are their competitors?
Thanks. Alnoor

Q: Can you recommend a few small cap. tech companies tied to AI that could have outsized gains due to their unique potential with higher but OK debt that may provide further leveraged gains with interest rate declines?

Q: Can you please provide a list of 10 USD and 10 CAD stocks that you hate? Looking for overvalued / broken story / bad balance sheet / margin compression types of names to short that should be very weak during a sell-off. Preference towards names with liquid options markets if possible.

Thanks

Q: I own the following in my TFSA - LMND, NVCR, U, FSLY, TWLO. All are down significantly and make up only a small percentage of the total TFSA. Because I can not take a tax loss, would you recommend leaving them tucked away for now? In other words, do any have good potential? Or would you recommend selling and investing elsewhere? Thanks.

Q: Hi there, your thoughts on FSLY after the earnings?

Is this catching a falling knife now, or overdone with the selling?

Any thoughts on where shares could settle?

Thanks!

Q: Up 202% on FSLY . I am trying to decide whether to trim or hold having been burned by this stock in the past. Is this now a hold and celebrate the turnaround or are their any worrying negatives you see in their recent improved performance.

Q: Hi,

I am looking for companies that have a short term potential for a pop in price.
What is your assessment of the quarterly report from Fastly? Is it buyable at this point?
Thank you for your opinion in advance.

Regards.

Q: I reserve a small portion of my portfolio for a few more speculative names and am taking a look at Fastly. It came down from very lofty levels but seems to have formed a bottom over a decent period of time and has been breaking out. Do you feel this breakout is warranted based on current fundamentals and what do you think of the company going forward? Is it worth buying at current levels?

Q: No questions on FSLY since last August. I am still holding and pleasantly surprised by recent improvement. Appreciate your views on Buy, sell or hold and why ? If sell what would you replace it with ?

Q: Fastly has a 1 year high of $58 but has been in the $110-120 range prior to then. On its way up, services like Motley Fool's "10X" suggested it could be a stock to go up in multiples (from $50+ where it was at the time) with seemingly strong conviction based on their positioning in content delivery and a belief that they would be more in demand as people consume more and more online. It has fallen off a cliff and I am wondering if their analysis was just dead wrong or if it was too early? Is Fastly's offering something we can expect to see capture more market share and create revenue growth or was it all hype? Please analyze.

Q: I am thinking of the selling the above stocks for a tax loss as I am down significantly. Could you rank these stocks as to which you would sell first to last.
Also I still have quite a bit of stock in technology and was thinking of investing the money in a general ETF mimicking the market. Which ETF would you recommend.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I currently hold FSLY in my RRSP (3%) and Non-reg (5%) accounts. My average holding cost is approx. $65. I have only been a DIY investor for approx 2yrs and I purchased this stock with the intention to hold 5-8 years.

I would appreciate your opinion on FSLY at this point in time in terms of Risk/Reward and whether my funds would be better deployed elsewhere.

I am beginning to question my original thesis on the company due to high debt ratio and the possibility of bigger market players targeting FSLY should they continue to succeed on a larger scale. The past/future volatility in the stock price does not concern me as much.

Thank you in advance.

Q: I am down on average 50% on all of the 5 above noted US stocks. I am wondering how many of these you would consider averaging down on to buy more and hold for a recovery and which you would cut your losses on and sell now ?
I am prepared to hold all of them if their prospects of returning to previous highs are reasonably good within the next 12 months or so and as always value your opinions.

John

Q: Hi 5i,
FSLY reported earnings today and stock is up....How were their earnings and forecast. What does the future look like for them today?
Currently own this stock down -35%. Would you continue to hold ORsell and move on. There are no tax loss benefits to capture.
If sell what would you suggest to replace with in similiar space?
Thx
Jim

Q: I own all 5 of these stocks and they all reported in the last 24 hours. Thoughts on the latest quarter for each ?

Q: Good Morning 5I team. thanks as always for your excellent service. I owe Fastly and am down about 50%. After yesterdays results its further down to $34.37 right now, Do you think its oversold and if one has the patience and long term outlook, its an opportunity to average down by adding some more.

Q: Is the movement down on Fastly resulting from quarterly results excessive, and now worth buying if held for 5-10 years?

Q: Sell or hold?

Q: Any reason to hold Fastly after yesterday earnings report? Thanks.

Q: Thanks, 5I Team, for all the good work. I owe GILEAD SCIENCES since 2017. It is still around the same price I am down about 1.5%. Would you recommend holding on or moving on. If moving on, what would you recommend in health care sector, I already owe Cardinal Health & ABBVIE Inc. I am looking at long term investment.
Secondly, I owe FASTLY INC and am down about 40%. I am a long-term Investor and can hold on. Would you advise to hold on or switch to Lightspeed or something else? If it really has potential, I can wait it out don’t need the cash.
This is general question not stock specific. Normally I prefer to buy US stocks in RRSP and Canadians in TFSA and non registered due to withholding Tax. I am unable to make up my mind as to where to put the riskier growth-oriented stocks. In TFSA I am unable to write off the loss if the investment goes sour, If I put in RRSP eventually, one pays tax on withdrawal in retirement, but can’t immediately write off the loss when I sale and book a loss. In a non registered account If the stock takes off I end up paying tax on half the gains. What would you normally recommend?
