Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi 5i,
Just wanted to get your current thoughts on AT:CA (Acuity Ads).
I see that they have come down quite a bit from recents highs.
Any reason for this?
Would it be a buying opportunity at +/-$16, or wait for it to settle down a bit?
Also, if you could provide any information in the way of a short synopsis on the company that would be wonderful!!
Thanks.

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking at VIACOM - it's down over 50% since March 22nd - can you give me your opinion as to whether it would be a buy at the current price for a long term hold. Doesn't look like anything has really changed fundamentally with the company other than the hedge funds dumping their stocks.
Thanks

Q: On Mar 29th you answered Lindsey’s question
“Why are there companies in the model portfolios that are not rated? If you are recommending them why wouldn't you rate them? “
with
"Some other companies have been added for better sector and market cap diversification within the portfolios.”

This explains why they were added but not why 5i doesn’t rate them. Assuming that you have done some due diligence in making your choice to add these companies to the portfolio why not add those companies to your list of rated stocks?

5i prides itself on unbiased research. Besides the work that is done when selecting a stock for a portfolio, what else is involved in rating a stock?

Q: Good Morning, I recently read in the FP that the new CEO of Intel Pat Gelsinger declared that "Intel is back" - Do you think that he can turn things around to participate in the huge demand for chips, and is this the time to invest?
I also know that you are not a huge fan of SPACS, however I am intrigued about investing along side in Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Tontine - thoughts?
With thanks JS

Q: I have a difficult time differentiating what each of these companies do for lawyers and lenders. How much actual overlap/competition is there?
I see there has been a fair bit of public market selling by REAL directors but then some buying late last week. How large is REAL insiders holdings commitment today compared to the last 5I report?
If there is any overlap/competition of services or perhaps synergies would it make sense for DND to acquire REAL if they could swallow it? Is DND, at 2X REAL’s market cap, large enough to acquire REAL?

Thank You
Clarence

Q: I listened recently to a discussion involving Cathy Wood and the principal of the Van Eck fund. Cathy Wood said that she thinks possibly fifty per cent of the s and p 500 could be negatively affected because they failed to invest in innovation. A bit scary when you own rsp or voo. On the same interview was van Eck, who seemed to agree with her. And partially for this reason they have developed MOAT. He seems to think that with these companies he circumvents the problem. Perhaps this is my reading into his comments. Wondering whether you might think it would be worthwhile to trade out of rsp and voo and into most
Thanks as always
