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: 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.

Q: Hello 5i; I would appreciate your thoughts on cybersecurity stocks. I know you like CRWD but asking about CHKP and your take on the best in this space. Many thanks as always. Barbara

Q: Hi 5i,

Amongst other pricey cybersecurity companies, CHKP seems very reasonably valued. It it 'cheap for a reason', or is it a solid stock to pick up now?

Also, do you still like RPD after its recent report?

Is there anything else (besides CRWD) that you prefer in this space?

TIA!

Q: I'm down ~15-20% on these names and contemplating a tax loss swap.
For each of these, do you think there are suitable proxies or are they are hard to replace?
For FLNT in particular, I'm considering dumping it all together, so a similarly battered small-cap name you think will perform better will work as well.
Finally, when it comes to tax-loss selling, do you have a rule of thumb on the % down a name should be before it makes sense, or it's generally situation dependant?

Q: I would appreciate your outlook for CHKP. I thought that the last qtr was decent with revenue, EPS, and earnings up somewhat. Nevertheless the share price seems stagnant since July. The P/E is quite low for this industry which suggests that the market is not expecting much growth. I was expecting that the "working from home" and "virtual learning" phenomena would be tailwinds. Since the company doesn't pay a dividend, if the price isn't going to grow, I should move on.
I look forward to your thoughts.
Thanks
Ian

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

We're all aware over the past 9 months since the Pandemic became part of our every day life, on-line shopping has really taken off.

I am thinking Cyber Security is going to have to follow suit considering how much money is travelling through the internet. Do you agree this industry should see a considerable increase in opportunities & growth in the coming years? And if so, which companies would you suggest we take a look at if we want exposure to cyber security.

Thanks for all you do.
