Q: Hi guys, I have 80 WORK stocks and 25 CRM stocks and was wondering if I should sell my WORK stocks or keep them. With the Slack acquisition from Salesforce, I am not sure what the implications are. Can you please explain and what is beneficial in either keeping or selling my WORK shares. Thank you so much for your service. Keep up the good work! No pun intended.

Q: Good morning 5i,
I am wondering if you think it is still reasonable to be selling covered calls and puts on tech stocks? Are the work from home stocks going to be declining because of the announcement of vacine? If you thing that is still a profitable avenue what stocks might you suggest these days for this strategy. Thanks for your help and all the best on your new venture.

Q: Good Morning
Where does TEAM fit in after the Salesforce buyout of Slack? Are they now competitors along with Microsoft or are their offerings different and possibly a takeover target themselves?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i team,
The market is not very impressed with either CRM’s guidance and/or purchase of WORK. This pits CRM directly against MSFT in the work collaboration space. Is this a wise move by CRM? Is this a good entry point for CRM or is MSFT the better long-term bet?
Thanks again for the insight.

Q: In your reply to Dan regarding Amazon and high valuations you mentioned being cautious on companies with “commodity like” businesses receiving high valuations.
Could you give a couple of examples with a couple of explanatory comments so members will have a guideline on these things and know what to watch for.
Thank You for your great service

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Your advice on options, specifically covered calls is very much appreciated. Some time ago you had advised on opportunities in the US market for selling covered calls. As I believe that with the US election done that there may be some return to normal, is this a good time to again consider selling calls and could you advise 3 Canadian and 3 US shares that might offer good premiums ?
Thanks so much for the ongoing advice. Peter

Q: I try to buy best in breed companies or leaders in each sector/industry with the goal of holding for the long term. With the current sell off in high growth tech stocks my buy price alerts in the above companies are starting to get triggered. During times when we get a market sell off or sector rotation, as we may be getting over the next few days or weeks, I like to only buy one or 2 positions per day in order to keep some powder dry if the sell offs continue. If I don't hold positions in any can you rank in order of what you would buy first to last and please feel free to add other companies to this list you feel are good buys. Thanks for all your help.

Q: What are your thoughts on OSTK? Would you start a position with a less than a 1 year outlook? It has had quite the year given COVID, but unsure how it would fare in a post covid world and where it ranks for crypto. Any recommendations you have as alternatives with a high short term growth potential (albeit with higher associated risk) would be welcome.
