Investment Q&A

Q: I have read MicroStrategies is developing software to increase the utility of Bitcoin for financial transactions. Do you have any information with regard to this. Also based on Bitcoins current price and the amount Bitcoin held by MicroStrategy does the current stock price represent good value. Thanks

Q: Can you please comment on NVEI earnings.

Thank You

Q: I have sat on my hands, during the past year and stayed the course, not selling anything, waiting for the turn to see what recovers. But, after your answer to Marty today, I wonder if I should be selling Lightspeed and adding the funds to Shopify. Thoughts?

Q: what are thoughts on earnings. are you still bullish as a top pick.

Q: With Lightspeed selling off today and anything you gleamed from the earnings call would you be comfortable stepping in here with a long term horizon?

Q: What do I do with this name.I thought given it was one of two AAA rated companies around it was solid.This year has been a disaster from a share price point of view.Still up meaningfully….cause I have owned for years but been huge drawdown. Should I just sell?

Q: I hold three relatively small positions in each of the above, and am wondering if you could foresee one or two of them as better outperform the market over a longterm horizon (5 plus years) and thus worth consolidating towards? Thank you

Q: Can you please provide an assessment of Datadog's Q3 Financial results? How do Datadog's prospects look going forward?

Q: It seems like everyone is dumping technology and piling into energy. When energy was dirt cheap hardly anyone was recommending and that was the time to buy rather than high flying growth stocks or highly priced renewables. Is the same thing happening here where clearly technology is not in favour and everyone is selling to buy energy as that is the only thing working. Isn't this the wrong way to look at things as you are selling technology low and buying energy high. Your thoughts appreciated!

Q: Dear 5i,

Q: Hello 5i!
At this point in the cycle can you please rate the following as buy, sell or hold. I know you sometimes say in a different kind of market high growth can do well. Can you please comment on whether one should decrease technology holdings in general or just wait for tech to shine again one day. Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Unity Software including its cash on hand and debt as well as other fundamentals, insider ownership and trading, ability to weather a recession, and prospects for growth. Thanks.

Q: ,After the 2 divestments in a few weeks DOC have recouped 9M$. Were those divisions cash flow positive? Will this new intake of cash help them navigate through this bad period and until the stock moves up before they have to issue stock. What would be their cash burn rate after the sale of these 2 divisions? I assume those were net positives for the company.

DEEEEEP under water, I don't expect to ever get back in the money unless I keep the stock several years if they make it there. In a registered account there is no point for tax selling. Bad investment, bad timing. Do you have an answer that can make me smile again? LOL LOL
Thank you

Q: What are your thoughts on the divestment of pharmacies to Neighbourly? Do you see reasonable upside in the company with this injection of cash?

Q: Can you please comment on two items for Converge: the level of share dilution over the past couple of years, and the percentage of goodwill on the balance sheet. Are either of these concerning? Need to be watched? What about the likely future trajectory for these factors? I am considering taking a position here but these things have be reconsidering. Thanks.

Q: In an answer, you said a good entry price for META is between here and all the way down to its IPO price of $40. That would be another long way to fall. Sounds like it is very cheap and getting cheaper every day. What is your definition of a value trap and is META now a prime example?
Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
I have been wondering whether Meta is a good choice given it’s recent fall. So, i was interested in your response to a question this morning. You seemed positively disposed towards the stock. Shortly after that i read a small piece by Cathy Wood’s Arkk, which is usually seen as willing to take risks. Someone said that she makes all or nothing bets. I was surprised to see that they see Meta as doing just that. I will post a short excerp. And would be very interested to know what you think of it:

In our view, if augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) were to become the next mobile and at-home computing platforms, the return on investment could dwarf the $10-15 billion per year that Meta currently is spending to secure leadership in the space. That said, if AR and VR do not scale to the mass-market, Meta's current pace of investing could be a colossal mistake.
