Investment Q&A

Q: Please comment upon ZS's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Financial Results. Thanks!

Q: I was looking at a list of your past picks that haven't been mentioned for awhile but they seem to be doing quite well. In fact, they have as good a track record as some of the US stocks you mentioned recently. Mastercard which I own is under water over the past year, I am thinking of selling it and the above 2 look like good replacements. Preferably, ZS. Do you still pay attention to these 2?

Q: Hello

which one of these companies is better from a growth perspective.

Also, with ransomware and corporate hacking being the new frontier for all CIO's and IT Managers, which 2 companies, in your opinion, have the edge with their technology and I can add these to my portfolio.

Thank you,

Rajesh

Q: Do you know of a company (listed on the stock market)that is selling Cyber Security software in Canada or USA.

Q: Do any North American cybercrime-related companies interesting at this time? Thanks.

Q: I am trying to decide which one of these cybersecurity companies to buy if I have to choose one. Alternatively, is there an ETF focusing on this narrow segment of the market you would recommend?
Your insight is much appreciated, Peter

Q: What do you think of the financials of this company ? It has had a tremendous price increase in the last few years . Buy more ? Sell some ? Hold ? Thanks.

Q: Hello. I'm invested in CRWD and have been watching ZS (both on the NASDAQ). But I'm unclear whether there is overlap in their business models. ZS is doing very well, but I'm worried that I might be buying two sides of the same coin. Thanks!

Q: Good afternoon,

The technology portion of my portfolio has grown too large (about 37%) and I’m trying to figure out how to get it back to about 25%? My issue is that I’m interested in too many tech options (I.e., the ones that I own plus others I’d like to buy). I’m looking for suggestions on which I should sell, add to or replace by buying a better option. Some were initiated with half positions that went down and some full positions grew so the proportions all over the place. I have a long time horizon and many are held in a registered account (except SHOP and NVDA). I own: KXS (3.5%), CSU (3.8%), SHOP (2.7%), PHO (<1%), ZS (3.3%), TEAM (1%), NVDA (6.1%), AAPL (11%), MSFT (4.6%) and I’m interested in buying REAL, DOCU and GOOG. I’d like to own what are viewed as solid tech companies for future innovation and growth and I’m willing to add, remove or replace any of these companies.

I also need to add materials and REITs to my portfolio since I currently have no holdings in these. I’ll use my tech trimmings to add to these sectors. Suggestions of top companies for these two sectors would also be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for all the great work and suggestions you provide,
Lisa

Q: Thoughts on HQY, NVEE and ZS?

Q: Hello Team, Considering the strength and outlook, would you prefer to Add to ZS or you see better opportunities - AAPL, FB, AYX, ROKU, NOW that had dropped in price but offer better risk reward. I own all of these but wanted to add money to 1 or 2. ( without sector consideration) . Thanks

Do you have other preferences in this sub sector?
Thank you,

Q: Palo Alto has identified Zscaler as their competition and ripped the company somewhat on an earnings call. The CEO of Zscaler fired back on CNBC with comments such as the below. My question is whether this is a buy with potential based on your knowledge and comments below. It has gone from nearly $90 to $51 in a few months despite seemingly doing well.

"Zscaler, which came public in the first half of 2018, offers cloud security software for IT professionals to monitor network traffic and protect data. The company surprised analyst estimates by turning a small profit in four straight quarters.

Revenue grew by more than 53% in its July quarter and is expected to near $90 million in the current quarter, according to FactSet.

“The market is coming to us. We’re seeing a lot of growth,” Chaudhry said. “We crossed 400 off the Global 2,000 companies as our customers, so [we are] very bullish about the opportunity.”

Q: Hi
Can I get your outlook for the company

Thank you
