Investment Q&A

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
GES just released 1st Quarter Report. Considering this company is restructuring how would you rate this report.
Is it an improvement. Your thoughts please.

Q: Peter and Team:

After a year or so I am sitting even on CXI. I have been pleased with the recent run, and was surprised to see it downgraded in your report. I hope this doesn't result in a significant share price drop as we have seen in the past (how does it feel to be a market mover).

Anyhow I was wondering what you would think about a move to GC. There has been a really good run as of late (I was looking @ $32) but hopefully this is just the start. Your article on CSU was great and helps put things in perspective.

Thanks for all you do

Phil

Q: Hello 5i,
May I have your take on Box earnings please?
Crystal ball aside, what are your price, earnings expectations within the next year?
Still a hold? Add more? 2% position currently.

Q: Hi 5i team,
Interested in your thoughts on BOX's Q1/2019 results and guidance. Thinking of easing into a position and would appreciate your comments. Would this be good timing? Thanks,

Q: Mr. Hodson, in light of your confidence in GUD, which is now at $8.12, would you advise
loading up on the stock if one can do so right now ? GUD issued stock at $10 in the past, so adding more at this time would seem a good deal. Makes sense, or do you have
reservations in this regard ?

Q: What are your thoughts on Roku being a takeover target

Q: Hi team,

I go to the U.S. largely for tech, as you likely know from my questions. I have a small (for me) position in ROKU. I have some profits in TTD that I am now considering using to top up ROKU. There were always a mix of opinions on ROKU but now it seems that analysts are warming up to it. ROKU is moving away from hardware sales and more into platform services or a gateway for over the top services. Some analysts are saying it is gaining a lot of traction, picking up advertising dollars and is currently undervalued.

As an aside, late last week, Citron closed its short position and went long on ROKU. I hate all these guys when they are shorting my stocks but for some reason I don’t find them so bad when they go long. Citron also says that ROKU would make a nice tidy acquisition for NFLX to get into the advertising space where it is now lacking. I have SPOT as well if NFLX goes the musical route but am wondering about your views on the prospects for ROKU from here?

Thanks again,
