Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, Can you please share your take on the CRWD security upgrade problem today that has impacted global systems. I had no idea CRWD ran so many operations for global customer. Thank you, Michael

Q: Hi, The stock has been on a precipitous decline, almost every single day( Down over 35%, from post earnings high ) and can's seem to find a floor. The earnings were considered to be spectacular, but what spooked the market, perhaps was the owners' sale of 2.8 mln shares @ $17.31, being 8.5% below the prevailing market price, causing a surge of sellers and profit takers.

Most of the infrastructure/steel fabricators companies stocks are doing excellent, but DRX happens to be an outlier. Should this be a red flag and a concern ?

5i recently bumped the stock weight in the Growth Portfolio to 2.5%, which speaks of your conviction.

Do you see the market sentiment shifting and stock trading back to its recent high, any time soon?

Thank You

Q: Lly has been hit hard last few days presumably as a result of news that a competitor has another weight loss drug in the works. Is the sell off over done in your view? Would you continue to hold? Thanks.

Q: This questions is regarding US Russell 2000 etf called IWM. Do you think the rally in this can keep going over the next 2-3 months?

Q: Hi,

Your faith in resurgence of Small caps seem to be paying off! IWM is on a tear, eh?! However an article in Barron's seem to suggest that it is bit early to dive into Small caps!

Having said that, can you suggest some LOW COST Small cap ETFs both in the US and the rest of the world. If you want to give some for growth and some for value, it will be appreciated.

Many thanks.
