Q: Hello 5i I have held Luminex Corporation for quite awhile and finally the stock price is at a high. I think that the company has a quality Covid test available as well as other test kits. The company will announce there Q2 earnings Aug 6/20 after the market closes. I am deciding whether to sell or wait as the numbers could be good. My question is, does this company look like a winner now that I should let run. Thanks

Q: Can you provide me with the sectors that 5i would put these stocks in. In your Growth portfolio you have SHOP in IT, but I was thinking it is more Consumer Disc, the same as AMZN.

Q: Hi,
Would it change your opinion on this company knowing they've aquired OpenNMS recently? Or does this acquisition just mire them in too much debt? I ask because I've noticed a technical improvement in their relative strength vs DJUS software index and the S&P 500. Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf!

Q: Hi 5i team,
I own MSFT and am following a potential TikTok deal. You mentioned in an answer that you think the odds of a deal are now lower, but anything is possible. That does not sound like high odds. Is that because Trump is looking for a payment to the Treasury for what he views as brokering a deal. Is this legal or does it matter with him? Or are there other reasons for lower odds. How would you place the odds at this point? It seems to have been awhile since MSFT was active in the M&A space.
Thanks again.
