Investment Q&A

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

Q: I found a couple of stocks that I would like to put on my watch list. First is Sentinel One Inc. . It had a quarterly report not to long a go. The stock seemed to have a good report and the market seem to approve the quarterly report, but then sold off and has been going downward. Can you tell me what you know about this company, and the reason it went down in value.
Second stock is Five 9, it too seemed to have a good quarterly report and now is selling off. Again if you can elaborate on this company. With both of these stocks are they a buy, sell, to hold.
The other thing I should note, I was thinking of buying them for a trade not a long term hold.

Thank You very much for you good service, I'll await your reply.
Earl

Q: Hi 5i, and would welcome your review of the recent Quarterly results from Sprout Social, and whether you would consider it as a buy/ hold/ or sell. Do you see any red flags or concerns and the merits as a long-term hold and any competitive advantage that they may hold in the space they operate in? Thanks kindly.

Q: Hello 5i,
I have just read your blog “5 Inane Things…” and saw your comments about (u.s.) real estate. I then checked the Q&A on O:US and saw that the most recent questions pre-date this madness. I need to increase my real estate by about 2.25% and can easily add to O, or diversify. I would prefer a dividend-payer yielding 4.0%+, if possible. Or, should I settle for being slightly underweight for the time being??
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks, as always!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Can you suggest any Commodity ETF's that track the S&P livestock index, or food index? Do you think that they could provide increased returns due to tariffs, or possibly other disease and weather related events that may affect global food supply?

Q: Greetings 5i, you have been rating Etsy as a HOLD for some time now, may we please have your updated analysis based on FY2024 results? Profitable, still repurchasing shares, but low growth and can't seem to get any traction, plus headwinds in the current environment. Do you agree? If this is a sell (I would be able to use the loss) would you buy it back in future? Thank you.

Q: Hi there. Can you comment what the impact of GOOG, MFST and AMZN and their creation of their own Quantum chips is on companies like RGTI and IONQ? Are RGTI and IONQ trying to do the same things as the bigger companies but from a weaker position or are they complimentary or poised to benefit from innovations of these larger companies? Obviously RGTI trying to beat GOOG at R&D if they are racing the same race seems like a long shot.

Q: I am really surprised with your answer to Steven on March 3 about Berkshire, especially "In other words, we wouldn't necessarily want to give BRK a weighting that is materially higher than the typical stock in a portfolio." Shouldn't BRK be treated similarly to an ETF with 40+ quality holding plus private equity? You recommend S&P500 ETF as an alternative... well, there are a lot of investors who want their portfolio to be properly balanced and don't want to hold 33% in technology stocks. BRK-B is much better balanced and stable than S&P500. It also delivered better returns over the past year and 5 years despite the technology boom. Some of us still remember dot com bust of 2001...
