Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I've owned these for quite a while (KXS 5 yrs; WELL 4 yrs; CTS 3 yrs) but they haven't performed as I'd hoped (KXS +17%; WELL +4%; CTS -1%). Note that I've added to each since the initial purchase.

I understand 'wait time' and that the market sometimes takes a while to respond to fundamentals, but I feel I've given these all a fair chance and yet I continue to believe - and to hold!

Can you offer me any assurances to either continue holding or selling any of the three stocks? Interestingly, when starting a position in KXS I made a decision to purchase that and not Descartes which 5i also supported strongly at the time. Needless to say, I've watched DSG clean up and KXS tread water.

Q: Hi 5i!

I’m a little overweight in the AI sector and want to diversify. Respecting that growth and stability are not often in tandem, would you endorse a selling VRT and buying TMDX, ASPN or CLBT?
Do you see either of these three companies as having a better growth (and some stability) outlook over the next 2-3 years than VRT?

If you could only pick one which company do you have the most conviction in today?

Thanks so much for all you do!

Q: Upstart looks to have had a good couple of weeks climbing from $25 to $40. In answers to previous questions, mention was made of a very high short interest at the time. Can I please ask for your usual insightful analysis for the recent Upstart quarterly results, and whether their recent stock price climb can be attributed to their recent performance and future prospects in a declining interest rate environment, or well speculation and short covering? Is the stock worth holding onto for a few more Quarters and see if they benefit from declining interest rates or if they catch another everything-AI wave, or take the cash and invest elsewhere? Thanks kindly.

Q: In responding to a question regarding ZSML in Nov 2021 you stated "While volume is low, it has $351M in assets, and is likely quite profitable for the bank at that level." I see that, according to TDW, it now has $166.2M in assets. At this lower level would you still see it as profitable for the bank? Are the assets lower due to investors selling units? You have indicated recently that small caps could be coming into their own, so is ZSML a good option to add to my small caps at this time? Many thanks.
