Q: What do you think of Micron Technology today after the results and the healthy bump in price? If you are positive on the company at current valuations would you buy in today or wait for the price to settle down? Would you prefer Micron or Nvidia at current levels on a risk/reward basis?

Q: You have mentioned ICHR a couple of times as your favorite small cap in the US. Can you give me a few reasons why you like it. Is it a good long term hold. What are some of the risks. I see the valuation to be pretty cheap but I see Micron is very cheap as well based on their earnings. What do you think?

Q: I would appreciate your opinion of the value, or lack thereof, that the shares of Atlassian Corporation (TEAM) might currently offer? I'm seeking investments that might reasonably be able to provide me with a 10% or better, total return over the next 12 months.

Regardless of your opinion of Atlassian; any suggestions you might have for other firms which one might reasonably be able to expect a 10% total return or better from, over the coming year, would also be welcome.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas! Cheers and thank you!

Q: Looking over the previous questions on UFS you note debt his a bit too high and little growth has been observed.
1) If we assume online shopping trend strengthens do you think this will increase UPS’s profitability?
2) Does UPS produce the cardboard used to make packaging?
3) Assuming UPS produces newsprint do you think any strengthening in cardboard prices will will be matched with weakness in newsprint prices leading to zero net gain (or worse)?
4) Does UPS own their electricity generation infrastructure and if so is it fully utilized or do they have surplus which could be sold?
5) How vulnerable is UPS to competition from other companies?
I note since the last question in August UPS’s share price has increased by about $8 and set a new high on December 15th on rising volume. Momentum seems to be swinging to the positive.
Thanks,
Jim
