Investment Q&A

Q: Hello team,

I have kept MGNI for a long time and saw my profits disappear badly. Every positive momentum seems to go out of steam quickly. It has been going down with high volume in the past 3 months. Is it time to let go of MGNI? If the answer is yes, would you sell it to add to HOOD or AFRM? And why? I am open to other growth-y suggestions.

Thanks for all the good work and support you are offering 5i community.

Q: I've held TTD for many years now (since about $17 thanks to 5i) and it's starting to seem expensive at current prices (especially given the roku talk). Would it be best to diversify some towards others in the ad sector like APP or MGNI (or any other suggestions)?

You've spoken favourably of APP recently, do you like it better than TTD at current prices? My holding period is as long as possible if that helps.

Q: Hello Team,

I have been with the above stocks and seen their highs in my portfolio. The punishment for not selling however is to see them crash and burn. Some I still have some money left in and some I have lost 98% of the original investment (APPS).

So, should I just sell them all or is there an argument that one (thinking MGNI) may be worth keeping.

Thanks for all the help! :)

Q: Reading a recent Q and A on MGNI I was reminded of APPS which was once viewed positively. It seems TTD is a winner, MGNI I maybe a rebound candidate and that APPS is just dead? Do you see any potential in this as being a high upside play when rates are lower?

Q: Your comments on Magnite's latest earning release?

Q: HI folks
Sadly, I am down on all of these somewhere between 60 to 95%!!! They mostly but not all started out as somewhat small positions 2 to 4 years ago! I have time to wait longer but: 1)are there any that are absolute failures and therefore should be sold. 2) Would you please rate the selIs from 1 to 10 ..10 being the absolute SELL. 3)How many years should I give these? (tough to answer but just a guess). I will not get much at all for any of them! Please take as many credits as you see fit.
Much Thanks and happy Family weekend

Q: Hello 5i,

I'm looking to consolidate my adtech holdings. I currently own The Trade Desk, Perion and Magnite. My main goal is to maximize growth over the next couple of years and I'm concerned about Magnite's slowing/declining future revenue growth.
My possible options are:

1) Sell all MGNI, buy more TTD
2) Sell all MGNI, buy more PERI
3) Sell all MGNI, allocate 50% of proceeds to TTD and 50% to PERI
3) Sell all MGNI and PERI, buy more TTD
4) Do nothing

Which option do you suggest? My current allocation to all three is approximately equal.

Thanks!

Q: Hello,
Can you comment please in this 2 compagnies . Which one is more risky? And which one has the chance to recover faster ?Thank you !

Q: Please treat this as three separate questions for credit purposes. Thanks
I am interested in your current impressions of the above stocks. Could you compare them and their present market valuation and would you buy any of them at this time?

Q: Please comments on Mgni earnings, hold or sell?

Q: I’m invested for the long term. Do you view any of these names as no longer holding any long term potential?
Thanks

Q: Please comment on MGNI's results released this afternoon and going forward.Think it was hammered in After Hours. Add,Hold or Sell. Txs for U usual great services & views

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.

Q: Please comments on Mgni, sell or hold? Thanks

Q: Thinking of selling APPS for tax loss. Does it make sense to purchase AT (Acuityad) on US exchange as a temporary substitute.

Q: In light of the market backdrop & the poor Q on Aug 8 resulting in a 14% haircut that day along with your comments,I humbly and painfully think it will take time for PLTR to recover.Have a 50% loss. of which 66% of shares in my investment a/c & balance in Tsfa.Thinking of selling & replaced it by better stocks like Goog,Amzn,Bam.a,Atd.Please provide u opinion & rank the above stocks starting with best.Please feel free to provide 2 or 3 stocks that u prefer. Please comment on Mgni Q2 results released today.In After Hours it was at $8.61, a drop of 6.82% Again its it timely to sell at some 53% loss in investment a/c and replace with above stocks.Please comment. Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: Seeking a suggestion for a proxy for a tax loss sale on Digital Turbine.

Q: I have sold AMZN and TTD to harvest a tax loss. I will buy both after 30 days. Can you suggest proxies for either or both of these or is it best to just wait it out.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Please comment on Mgni's Q1 results released on May 4,& guidance. Apparently Rev & Eps beat estimates.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

In my basket of TECH, I have many losers that you have been high on(not your fault).

I have regretted selling "losers" that recovered sharply and sat on some that the opportunity cost turned out to high.

Are there any in the list above that the risk/reward of hanging on justifies not selling to top up positions in SHOP,TOI and/or CRWD that are also down.

Which order would you sell from the sell list and which order would you buy from the 3 buys

Thanks for all you do

Dennis
