Q: I am intrigued by how VEEV has succeeded over the last 5 years. In 2015, one commentator on BNN stated that salesforce (CRM) would likely crush VEEV, because all VEEV did was customize existing software (so reduced start-up costs) and sell it in the life sciences vertical, while undercutting its competitors on price. It then quickly gained market share. Why did VEEV succeed and how did it fend off CRM and others? How big is VEEV's "moat"?

Q: Contemplating selling VGT and buying ARKK. The only thing stopping me is ARKK's 10% investment in TESLA. Would you stay away from ARKK given its strong bet on this one stock with a history of volatility? Additionally, how do you see TESLA's price (and therefore ARKK's) being impacted by TESLA's addition later this month to the S&P500? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I will use XBC as an example here. It is now approaching $1B market cap. You guys always seem to reference this as a magic threshold that can bring in bigger investors that either don’t like the small cap space or are not permitted there by their mandate. I am curious if this is a key threshold for just Canadian companies or is the threshold typically higher for U.S. companies, where the cap sizes are proportionately higher.
Thanks again for the insight.

Do you think CISCO is a good fit or any other company that might be interested to buy?

Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi 5i team,
I need to increase my holdings in industrial stocks and am thinking of either TT or LMT, hoping they have a strong enough balance sheets and growth potential to come out on top after the pandemic shutdown. Which one would you buy now and why or other preference? Would you answer be different if the vaccines are not as effective and the economy lock down dragged on through 2021? Thanks.
