Q: Is there any particular news about why the Trade Desk (TTD) continues to decline? I thought the last quarter was quite strong. I also read there are rumors that Netlfix is considering ads which I would assume TTD would benefit greatly from. Can you comment on your thoughts moving forward.

Thanks for the fantastic service!

Q: Looking to take advantage of the pullback in growth names. The names above are standing out to me as companies that have been beaten up and 'may' offer a good short term bounce as well as long term potential. Is this a buying opportunity for those listed above? Are there other names you would suggest and could you rank them please? I am a fairly aggressive long term investor with an otherwise diversified portfolio.

Q: On Wednesday this week I bought a 1/2 position in Netflix. My intention was to view it as a trade rather than a long term investment. I've done this before when the high flying techs crashed and I caught a bounce. Nortel being one example. In reality I'm mainly a value investor that's in the typical stocks that you don't even read the news releases on. Like, who cares that TD bank is handing out bags of candy to the Panda bears in China.

I have a problem now. I think my trade, in less than a day, may have gone long term due to Pershing Square having stepped in and picked up 3.1 m shares of NFLX.

My question isn't about NXLX, it's about Pershing Square. What's your read on their intentions? I'm guessing you have a pretty good handle on their Modis operandi and can give me some insite into what might happen.

I appreciate your opinion and will give it full consideration but realize the final decision and responsibility is mine.
