Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,
Thank you for the service that you provide, it's been invaluable.
I currently have held JPM for the last few years and it's effectively been a net gain of zero. I think it might be time to move on for a bit and perhaps look to buy back at a later date. We already hold VEEV, AYX, TEAM, DOCU, TTD, NVDA, and QCOM, so I'm looking for a non-tech suggestion as to where to move. I'm hoping that you could provide a list of 2-3 quickly growing large(ish) US companies that ideally are near debt free and meet this criteria.
Thank you again,
Mike

Q: With the recent announcement of Sunrun Inc to buy Vivint Solar, offering a substantial financial gain, would you be inclined to sell today, and wait a month or two with thoughts of repurchasing after the dust settles.

Q: Hi 5i Team:
RE: WFH (Work From Home ETF) from Direxion.
This ETF just came out June 25th .. do not see it in your database.
What is your opinion of the theme of this ETF ?
Would be a satellite holding in my portfolio.
Seems to make a lot of sense in the current COVID-19 environment.
Or could you recommend another ETF or stock that you like the prospects of going forward in this new investing environment ?
Thanks, Steve

Q: Hi 5i,
I would like your opinion Concerning the recent IPO of DNB. Is this a company you would consider for a new investment. Why/why not?
I see most recently that DNB had been taken private last year in 2019 and now has gone public again. Is this an action that raises a warning flag of some type.
Thx

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Do you have any thoughts about Curtiss-Wright? Seem like good end markets, valuation, not too much debt, free cash flow generation, share count is steady, etc.

I appreciate that you don’t follow them but looking for an alternative to RTX and the like.
