Q: Hi team,
Given the tensions around Russia and Ukraine and the increased likelihood that we may see a war in Ukraine, what sectors do you think would be less likely to see a negative impact from this conflict? Are there sectors that may benefit if we do see war in Ukraine?

Appreciate your insight on this.

Q: Hi Team;
I know that you often say “no one rings a bell at the bottom” but I do seem to recall some time ago you suggested a number of indicators one could watch for? One of them might have had to do with intra-day reversals, and maybe another was volume related?
Thanks,

Q: I have very little exposure to staples and industrials in my portfolio, which is mainly composed of ETFs. What do you think of these companies, which are all rated outperform by RBC? Is KPT a good proxy for staples? If not, what would you suggest? Please rate the other three in the industrials category in order of preference. Thank you.

Q: Hi,
In recent weeks so many blue chip/ growth companies stock has fallen any where from 5% to 40%. That includes PYPL, SQ, BABA SHOP etc. These are growth names and were trading at high multiple. But there are some stocks but are not trading at that high multiple, consistently paying dividend like DHR, AMT, APD are also down. I understand it because its market. My question is how much ( say 20% or 30% price drop from its high) drop is considered a good value and a time to deploy fresh capital for a small investor. I keep my US$ portfolio of 10 to 12 stocks.
I will appreciate your views.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - According to my calculations Lightspeed has about $7 per share in cash. Could you confirm if this accurate. Since the stock is now in the mid-thirties is this a fairly high proportion of the price to have in cash. Has Lightspeed indicated how they might use their cash e.g. acquisitions, R&D, etc.

Secondly, with the restaurant business opening up again, shouldn't this be good for Lightspeed and is it being overlooked in today's share price.

Thirdly, what multiples would you use to value Lightspeed at a price in the 35 to 40 dollar range.

Thank you.
