Q: Hello 5i,
From time to time a well performing company misses on earnings estimates in a quarter but it does not necessarily mean that its longer term good performance and potential growth will slow.
What was the cause of the poor earnings per share result. Was the reasons for this miss merely a temporary hiccup or perhaps a longer term issue. What conclusion should one draw from this quarter's results? Are the views about this company change from your September report? Is the growth by acquisition theme and potential remain intact. What can we expect to see from the company in the next 6 and 12 months. Should I continue to hold or sell at this time.

Thanks for your excellent insights.
Joseph

Q: Hi 5i,
We (senior investors and drawing from portfolios) have $173,000 in 2 TFSA accounts. We have $32,000 cash available in these accounts. Accounts currently hold AC, KXS, NFI, PHO, SIS, SHOP, and fixed income XBB and XHY. What would you suggest I look at to add to this mix at this time for long term holds. No cash is drawn from either TFSA .
Best Regards,
Ted

Q: Under your old format I had an alert and a favourite list. How do I access them under the new format, if they are still available?
I read on November 30th on answering a question that you also provide charts. How do you access them?
I just cancelled a $650.00 newsletter a great deal of money more than yours and it was no where near as good as yours. I am happy to have you guys behind me. Thanks. Dennis

Q: Hello,
I was reviewing the data available via TD Waterhouse including Thomson Reuters reports, and compared revenue and net income growth in the past 2 years of Amazon, vs Alibaba vs JD.com (all somewhat in the same industry but latter 2 in China).
My read is Alibaba and JD.com have significantly higher growth in both metrics than Amazon.
Would appreciate your review please and thanks.

Q: Hi Team, Recently, JP Morgan listed these 5 US companies as their top AI picks. Would these be 5iR's top five US AI picks? If yes, then can you rank order the picks for me. If not, what would your picks be and/or what would you add/subtract from the above 5. How would you rank order this revised list?
Thanks Team. Chris

Q: Is HAS.us a good company to have as a dividend grower and a reliable dividend payer? Out of the 10 years past, it has grown dividends in 7 ; its ROIC is 17%. Metrics APPEAR good ( do correct me if I am wrong).
Having been horribly burned in retail and consumer discretionary, I am cautious to put hard earned cash into HAS. Do you think its business model is sound for at least 4 or 5 years? Is it not hostage to consumer whims (if you forgive the leading nature of the last question). Do you think the risk-reward ratio ratio in HAS.us is good-- and, importantly, why please? What do you think of its prospects, both WITH Mattel and without. Your rigorous reasoning is always appreciated, many thanks

Q: Thank you for the wonderful support which has been invaluable.
I recently invested in Valeura Energy which has been test drilling for natural gas and condensate in Turkey. They announced positive interim production test results from the the Yamalik-1 well ... the first of four. Can I have your assessment? Thank you

Q: A further comment on the subscription rate increase. I think the rate is still low and an exceptional value. I have only been a member for 2 months and already have received much more value than from a year's worth of various investment newsletters to which I subscribed in the past. I was only a member for about a month when I realized I better lock in the 2 year renewal rate. The Q&A feature is fabulous and unlike any other service I have seen. I doubt I will be able to use all my credits as another subscriber oftentimes beats me to the punch with a timely question on earnings or changing circumstances on an equity.
Thanks again,
dave
