Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Based on your experience and the resources you have access to, do you care to give your educated and thoughtful guess on the following: IF Apple were to proceed with building smart cars, would you agree Apple is far more likely to contract with MGA than with any legacy automakers? In this context , let us define “far more likely” as a greater than sixty percent chance. If you place the chances significantly lower than that, would you not agree that MGA is now fully valued? Come now, perhaps even modestly over valued?

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: Hi, I'm a new member and have this basic question. Analyst recommendation in a company profile shows recommendations such as Buy, Hold and a number assigned to them. For example, AAPL has 16 for Strong Buy, 3 for Moderate Buy. Is the any FAQ section in the website which can educate me on how to interpret these numbers? What it means to be 16 for strong buy? Is 16 out of 100 or something else? Can I filter stocks which have strong buy recommendation above a certain number say 10 on your website?

Q: Has Apple said they are building a car or is this only a rumour. If true would Magna not be a better partner than Kia or others ?
If this was to be true any idea if this moves the stock price of each meaningfully ?
I hear of another rumour Apple may get into crypto, if this happens both crypto and Apple stock goes much higher. If Musk was able to move the needle this week, I am guessing Apple would move it much more, please comment ?
Thanks

Q: I'm wondering if you have strong feelings about the prospects of any of these or similar mega cap tech stocks, in terms of their values against each other or others similar. I own most of these but on their own they are fairly small holdings. Could you please rank, and which would be worth trading up for the others? Also how many would you recommend holding?
