Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,
ATVI reported earnings today and shares are down over 5%....and considering initiating 2% position for 3 year hold.

How were the earnings and how do you view company going forward? What is your opinion on this company and would you be interested in starting a new position?

Why/why not and if so, what would you consider good entry price.....Suggestions for alternatives in same space?

Thx
jim

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

Q: Hello 5i,
I made a mistake of not investing in AMD with a proper weight this stock deserved (with all the new chips). So now what to do? How do you view AMD's future?
SOXX 1.75%, Q 2%, UCTT 2%, AMD 1%, ICHAR 0.5%
My end goal is to fold individual stocks into SOXX eventually but perhaps AMD deserves an increase in its weight to 3% given the momentum?

Q: Hi team. Two of my most "unsure" holdings are pltr and mgni. I was wondering how you feel about these long term. Would you continue to hold them? I was considering adding to TOI with the proceeds if I were to sell one, or both of them. What would be your suggestion for the long term here? Or is there any other of your absolute favourites at the moment that I should be buying today instead of holding pltr and mgni? Note that I already own TTD (same sector as mgni). Thanks for your input.

Q: Thoughts on YOU:US?

Q: SYZ has been quite soft the past few days. Don't see any news to explain. Do you see anything? What is your outlook and when do they next report?

Q: Hi 5i
Could you provide your latest thoughts on AYX please? I currently own and expect to hold for some time unless you think something has changed. Perhaps they should use their analytics to help improve expectations !

Thanks
Mike

Q: Hello Team,
What are the potential benefits forToi in remaining in the Venture exchange as opposed to migrating to the TSX?
Could you briefly describe their debt picture- by all means delay your answer until after the second Quarter financials.

Q: Roku buckled after reporting...is now a good time to buy and with perspective to your other favs such as nvda, lspd, ttd, veev or others?

Q: Comments please on Roku’s earnings and your opinions moving forward.
Thank you

Q: All the four companies have ad revenue and three of them showed slowdown from ad and have provided weak guidance. What differentiates Alphabet from the three?

Thanks.

Q: With recent earnings releases for the above companies completed did anything specifically surprise you or excite you about their futures more so then before? Specifically Microsoft PayPal visa and Facebook.

For Google, it’s revenue growth was massive (68%) for a company it’s size and YouTube contributing almost the same revenue this quarter as Netflix was crazy to me. With ads growth via search not going away and cloud being a big focus for them I don’t see many things stopping it…
What do you see as the biggest risk for it specifically other then the big scary Antitrust breakup?

Q: Can you please give me your opinion on PayPal. Does the recent price drop represent a buying opportunity or is this an indication of head winds ahead. What would be your top 5 Fintech stocks for a 3 to 5 year hold. Thanks for all your expertise.

Q: Hi the great 5i team, if one starts a new position of the two companies, which one will you buy and why? thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Research, You guys have been doing excellent job educating investor like me what to buy and making good decisions about investing , thank you for that.

Thanks

Q: Nuevi announced an acquisition today and dropped $2. Topicus announced an acquisition and jumped $6. Why the opposite swings?

Q: Can you comment ON's recent earning please? I noticed they have bought a big 12" fab from global foundry in 2019. Is that mean they might have better position compared to other Semiconductor companies with enough capacity for future growth? Any other thoughts on this company can you share?

Thanks very much!

Q: I have been invested in this company for many years. I'm receiving a small dividend that was cut in half several years ago. Over the years they have changed their primary operation from a patent troll to an investment corporation. They even won a court case over Apple (patent infringements) but have yet to be compensated. Are you aware of any positive corporate actions that may make Quarterhill more investable over the next few years. They are reporting next week and I am concerned that things may not have gone as well
as expected. Would you continue to hold on or would you throw in the towel.
