Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good Morning,

In my (hopefully) high growth basket of stocks, I would like to do some consolidation. The partnership with TikTok is supposed to be beneficial for Sprout Social, but with the security concerns about TikTok in the recent news, do you think that Sprout will be significantly impacted? If so (or if you no longer like Sprout) in what order might you consider adding to the following: LNTH, APPS, ATZ, INTU, ATD for a 3-year hold? Thanks. Brad

Q: Please comment on earnings. I’m holding at a loss and don’t know whether to sell. Looks like a miss on this Q. The question is whether to hold and hope for a recovery. Thanks.
Further to my last question, do you think the sales miss is due to the economy or do we have to worry about customers not needing the apps service? Is the lower sales due to the economy or something more fundamental to the product? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,

I have small 0.8% positions, in both PINS and APPS, in an unregistered account.

Looking for advice on possible consolidation:

1) Consolidate APPS into PINS
2) Consolidate PINS into APPS
3) Consolidate both APPS and PINS into TTD, PERI or MELI.
4) Do nothing.

5+ year time-frame with high risk tolerance.


Thanks

Q: Hi 5iresearch
I am in a loss position with the above stocks. They represent a very small size of my portfolio. Which ones would have a good chance for recovery in the next 12 months? I am trying to determine which ones I should sell to allocate to other shares with better chances. You can give %s for their recovery in the next 12 months.
Thank you

Q: I own all of the above US Tech, except ROKU. I was interested in your answer yesterday regarding potential growth for ROKU, all things going well. Amoung these companies, is there anything you would sell to move into ROKU? I don't really want to put new money into more US Tech, but would rather find the right balance in the funds I already have there. Thanks!

Q: Thanks to the 5i team for all the great work amongst a very tough 2022! I wish you and yours all the very best for the new year.

I really appreciated and learnt a lot from the various indices/metrics that you used in your market update emails, especially circling back in the most recent one to update the trends. Looking at the various indexes you explored last year, it made me wonder if there was an index or metric that tracked digital advertising to look at trends through time (e.g., have things bottomed and more are spending on digital advertising). As a holder of companies like Google, Digital Turbine, and The Trading Desk, I am interested to know if there is an index/metric out there to follow trends in digital advertising. If there is, could you use it to suggest what the general status of digital advertising is and how it might help inform adding to positions of GOOG, APPS, TTD, and others (if you have higher conviction names to suggest).

Thanks so much for all you do and wishing everyone a strong investment year in 2023.
