Q: When do you think we are going to see the market sell off settle down in some of these names? Is this panic selling by retail investors or a more troubling move by smart money out of these names entirely? I'm just finding it hard to imagine that the prospects for these companies changed as dramatically as the share price in recent weeks. Take NVDA for instance. I thought it was everyone's darling a few weeks ago when I bought it over $100 higher. I'm holding but it's hard watching these things fall so dramatically each day without reprieve it seems. Thanks.

Q: Greetings 5i,
The Texan power grid fiasco will hopefully force the generation and distribution companies to 'winterise' their infrastructure.
Aside from customers, cui bono?
Thank you, your advice has helped me educate myself, analyse data and make better decisions.

Q: I am more than happy with the long term performance of this company . However the last two quarterly reports issued by the company have been somewhat pessimistic regarding growth prospects as the economy recovers from the covid pandemic . Cash flow is good , and the company will be buying back shares . I wonder if the are now an acquisition target for a larger competitor . What are your thoughts -- are they a buy , sell or hold?

Q: Good morning 5i team,
What is 5i's view of companies that spread stock option expense across P&L categories? A company might report significant R&D expense which an investor views as a positive, until one realizes that a considerable portion of the R&D expense is related to stock options? Is that generally-accepted accounting treatment? How do companies generally handle this? How does 5i view one treatment versus another? Thank you.
