Investment Q&A

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

Q: In my last question I did not have the correct symbol for Sentinel One. (question picked up on Sherrit, which I don't own) Please compare the three cybersecurity companies in terms of hold for recovery, sell for tax loss. I am holding all three at a loss.

Q: There has been very little press on the other ((rather large ) bank default, that of Signature Bank.
Did this bank have similar issues as SVB in terms of deposits and composition ? Wondering how many other smaller ( relatively ) banks could be in similar situations. Thanks Derek

Q: What does this statement mean and how does it affect shareholders?

"Finally, investors' fears are becoming reality because Rivian has just announced a bond issue aimed at raising $1.3 billion. The company intends to sell convertible notes, or bonds that can be paid back with cash, stock or a mix of the two, according to a press release.

Investors buying these notes will also have the option to buy additional notes worth up to $200 million, according to a statement dated March 6 2023"

Q: Hello Peter,

How would you trade the collapse of SVB? Banks and Financial companies are taking a hit. Is it time to buy? If yes, what would you prefer- BAC,MS, BX? Or none of the above.
Do you think there is a contagion risk here?
Regards.
Rajiv

Q: Hi, what do you think of these names to take advantage of the pullback in the financial sector due to the SVB bust? Or would you just stick with JPM and BAC? I realize that not all these banks are exactly comparable. Thanks,

Jason

Q: Hi there, with the failure of SVB, many regionals have also been sold off, possibly unjustifiably. Do you see any current opportunities in the space that seem like good buys? SCHW comes to mind but wondering your thoughts or if there are any others that look good here.

Q: Being a one time owner of SVB some time ago, now I read I am involved with them again as ROKU dropped from 70ish to 50ish over the last few days. I find out that is their bank. I imagine there are a few other tech stocks I have that bank with them. Are we in a lot of trouble for the next while? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: Hi, The Economist mentions in a recent article that ROKU reported that it held $487 million at SVB in a Mar 10th regulatory filing. I've sort of guessed that might be about 25% of ROKU's cash, based on number of outstanding shares and cash held per share listed on Finviz.com. Would that be a fair assumption? If so, what effect do you see this having on ROKU's share prices in the next while? I'm expecting to see them drop once the news gets out, but do not know how this might affect their overall business fundamentally or longer term. Can they withstand such a hit, if it comes down to a write off? I've listed this question as private, thinking I don't wish to add to market fears - but if you feel it would serve the 5i community best as a public question, feel free to open it up.
With continued appreciation for your sage advice, I look forward to your thoughts on this.
