Q: People who are very close to the market having connections that I don't have. Here are examples: PINS - in May it was $50 and up until recently it was up as high as $82, then it started selling off and eventually quickly plummeted below $60. AMAZON - this was not doing much most of the year by July it was at $3760, a short time latter it was $3300. PINS started selling off fairly rapidly once it hit the low $80's. I think some people knew that the writing was on the wall for this stock. In the case of Amazon, since it wasn't doing much anyway - it sold off rapidly over a short period of time down to $3300 - again I have the same feeling as I have with PINS. PAY PAL had a massive sell-off and ROKU in July at one time in July was $490 plus and now it is down over $100 and seems to continue to fall I wish I had got out when it reached the $500 value. Would you say these lucky people who got out at the high price are well sophisticated traders or have a lot of connections? Your opinion. Thank you.

Q: Crowdstrike has fallen just over 10% in the last 10 days. Is this a prelude to their upcoming (Aug.30th) report. Are you aware of any news that would cause this drop. They have several analyst recommendations with a target slightly over $300. Do you still feel that this is an outstanding buy or is it getting too costly to recommend at this time?

Q: This company seems to have reasonable ROE (just under 20) and good growth but has sold off with several large blocks transacting recently despite positive analyst coverage. It reports this week so I don't plan to jump into a position but I wanted 5i's opinion on whether mid $30's represents an attractive entry point for a company that has exposure to a variety of Pharma companies? Would it be a buy, sell or hold for you and what would it take in terms of a news event or drop in price to make it a buy? What do you like and/or dislike about the company?
Thanks!

Q: Please comment on the earnings report. Specifically are you concerned that revenue growth is being swamped by increasing cost and cash outflows? Are the expense increases in categories that support future growth, such as r and d, or they just drags on performance like salaries, stock compensation etc.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! What are your thoughts about the merger between LEGO and Algoma Steel, and would it be something you would be interested in? There is however, some sort of legal issue mentioned on Yahoo. Cheers, Tamara

Q: Is this a good entry point into Airbnb? I don't know much about the company except that I've been a customer. How is it that they rent out other people's properties and still not make money? I don't get how these companies continue to operate without a profit -- can you help explain how the current valuations are justified?
