Q: Re Micron from RBC, " Though the industry is experiencing positive sales growth as a whole, MU has been unable to grow sales and is losing market share. This trend continues from the previous year when sales growth at MU and the Semiconductors industry were -20.62% and 3.53%, respectively. Also, " Joint venture partner Intel will be ending its partnership with Micron, which creates another competitor for Micron to deal with." Thoughts on the market share statement and any idea how big of an impact the ending of Intel relationship will be?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I do appreciate you going into the usa to recommend a stock. I am trying to reconcile/understand your Micron (MU) recommandation at your latest appearance on BNN (Peter on feb 20th). It seems like MU is rarely (not so often) listed in your more and more frequent lists of recommended usa stocks (am I wrong?). Are the criteria, risk profil or time horizon different for your BNN appearances then your Q&A? More specifically, would you consider MU a long term hold or more a cyclical hold (meaning sell/underweight at certain portion of the economic cycle)?
Thank you for your collaboration,
Eric

Q: Morning Peter and Team,
I found it interesting that Peter chose Micron as one of his top picks on a recent visit to a Canadian TV program. As it is a bit unusual to choose an American company I assume you are very positive about its future. Could you please give me more detail as to why you think this is an excellent American company to invest in. Thanks again for your continued appreciated guidance.

Q: Looking at Microns history it has been quite volatile. Between the end of 2014 and mid 2016 it fell over 70% which ended up being a fantastic buying opportunity. Looking at it now, it has fallen over 40% since its most recent peak. If it were to fall a similar % as 2014-2016 it could go all the way to 20 bucks.

Looking at the most recent balance sheet however, the company paid down a massive amount of debt in 2018, and generated a ton of cash. Is there any estimates of how much cash/share this company could have at the end of 2019? If 2019 is anything similar to 2018 it looks like a decent % of the market cap could be in cash, which makes me think a similar decline as 2014-2016 is unlikely . Is the risk/reward getting increasingly interesting here?

Thanks!
