Q: Fortinet dropped 25% after poor billings guidance. Based on that, and the fact that Palo Alto announced around that time that it would report on a Friday, Palo Alto stock dropped 20%. But after Palo Alto reported earnings, the stock jumped, so net Palo Alto is down around 5%. Yet Palo Alto also projected a slowdown in billings. Why did investors like Palo Alto’s earnings report and not like Fortinet’s earnings report? Thanks.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Above mentioned stocks I hold as a small percentage of my portfolio. Of course I am down now! However I have been using covered call strategy to "get paid whilst I wait"! So, I am happy to hold them for a few years.
The question I have is this. Are these good companies to hold for a few years? If not, would you suggest any alternatives? I see from your answers that you like FTNT/CRWD,PANW.

Thank you for your answer.
Mano.

Q: I always kick myself when I come to realize a missed opportunity and tell myself that next time, i'll recognize the trend and take advantage of it.

This is me asking that question now.

What 5 US and 5 CDN positions, in your opinion are very much out of favour right now but have quality fundamentals with an excellent chance for share appreciation over the next 3 years?

Q: Hello 5i,

If you had to pick ONE US stock, regardless of sector, in the current market that you believe to be undervalued and offers the greatest potential return what would it be?

I am a long term investor and have a high risk tolerance. Thank you as always.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you suggest a few cyber security stocks, Canadian and U.S., including established companies that are profitable as well as two or three newer ones that show some promise but may or may not be profitable yet. Any market cap is fine. Thanks.

Q: QCOM is not expensive and their financials look OK but it has been going sideways for some time and has not participated in the most recent rally. Would you consider letting it go and can you suggest another US company with momentum?

Thank you,

Q: Hello 5i, I know you like CRWD as a cyber security company. Over the last 3 years FTNT has increased by 190% whereas CRWD has increased by 61%. I know that past performance is not a guarantee for the future, but if you had to buy just one today which one would you buy? Would you sell CRWD and replace it by FTNT? Thank you

Q: Dear Peter et al,

May I ask you to give me 3 solid companies in Cyber security field with NO debts, Good Growth track record and Dividends. Dividends not as important as zero debt and growth potential. Lastly if they are US based and not in other countries that would be a bonus.

You can add the names of the stocks in the stem of my question.

Many thanks.
Mano.

MMM not doing much, and you mention not much growth. dividend is nice, but I don't need it. do you think trimming or selling MMM and adding to any of above (?BABA, down again). or do you have any other ideas for the USD account ( growthy, but low-low mid risk). thx, chris

Q: Hi, can you give me your thoughts on some Cyber security stocks?
Is now a good time to be edging into these stocks or should I be waiting for a pullback everyone seems to say is coming soon?
I'm thinking of starting a position in either Crowdstrike or Palo Alto. Which would you recommend or do you have others you would prefer?
Thanks
Harry
