Investment Q&A

Q: In a 5iR response on Wednesday about CRWD, there was mention that "its (CRWD) performance seems better than many peers (not all)". And me, wondering what these "better" peers are???.....The reason for asking this is that if they are larger in market capitalization, I might be interested in investing in one....Keen to know about these peers.......Many thanks.....Tom

Q: Can you provide an updated view on Splunk post it’s recent earnings report

Q: Hi,

Can you please comment on SPLK latest earnings and provide your actual point of view on growth potential ?

Thank you

Q: Hi there,

Could you please provide 8-10 companies, preferably in the US that are in the AI and machine learning category and that you think have great technology and a large potential market? No need for in depth analysis so you can keep it brief. I'm looking for a place to start more in depth research. Much appreciated!

PS - I sent a question in awhile back that is probably still in queue as it asked for info on 6 companies that are not mainstream. No rush but please let me know if you didn't get it.

Q: I purchased SPLK back in Sept. 2020 and am down 20%. I know that there is an impending class action lawsuit against them and want to know, should I hold or move on and place the money in another similar stock that you would recommend ? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,
A number of companies show up regularly on your favourite lists, which seems to be a popular feature with your subscribers. I have held SPLK in the past. It has been well over a year since any question on it. A lot of analysts are quite positive on SPLK in the big data and cybersecurity space and it doesn’t seem crazy expensive for a tech stock. Obviously, all can’t make the top tier lists. I am curious on your view on SPLK and what keeps it from making the cut.
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: Hi 5I,
Your opinion of these 3 companies please. I believe Splunk reports later this week and I am thinking of jumping in. Your thoughts on all three, which would be your preference to buy ?
Many thanks,
Jen

Q: Hi team,

As you know from my questions, I like tech and am a growth investor. I do own some lower beta non-tech stocks as a counter-balance; I just don’t ask a lot of questions on them. The cloud is working these days, with a few normal hiccups. I follow a ton of stocks in the space, so I will ask about five (down from ten) that were bid very high going into earnings, that is, TEAM, TTD, SPLK, AYX, WDAY. Earnings and guidance, as far as I can recall were great, yet the stocks sold off. I attribute it to normal profit taking after big run-ups. I own TTD and TEAM. I owned WDAY in the past, but sold it prematurely. I am a bit shocked and impressed today how AYX shot up about 5% when the market had an awful day. I could see no news on that on the websites I check. Any reason for that? How would you rank these five for growth prospects over the next several years and are there any red flags or undue risks for any so that you would avoid that company?

Thanks again,
Dave

Q: Hello 5i,
How would you rank these "cloud kings" for growth over the next few years?
Do you have a preference of one or two over the others?
Thank you
Dave

Q: What's your view on Splunk?

Q: Dear 5i:

I purchased this some time ago and it has had a nice run up. What do you think of its prospects moving forward? Buy more, hold, or sell?

Thank you.
