Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I own the above noted stocks as a smaller portion of my portfolio of higher risk names. All of these names are down other than CTS. Do you see any of these names as ones that I should sell as part of a portfolio clean up?

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Q: I hold three relatively small positions in each of the above, and am wondering if you could foresee one or two of them as better outperform the market over a longterm horizon (5 plus years) and thus worth consolidating towards? Thank you

Q: I am down significantly in both Lightspeed and Upstart. I am considering replacing some or all of them with something more promising.
Perhaps you could comment on the prospects of these companies in a better market and suggest which two or 3 from this list might have better performance potential :
CRM TTD MRVL SNOW CHPT
Thank you!

Q: Hi there, I'm thinking of adding the following stocks to my portfolio to make up a total of 3% to 5% of my overall holdings - so a relatively small amount overall. Can I please have your thoughts on them and if you'd rate them as buy, sell or holds? And if sell or hold, which names would you replace them with?

Thank you!

Q: Good day,

I am looking for a good (over-priced) US stock to for a Put spread - one where the premium (implied volatility) is reasonable. I had a Put spread on TSLA, but got out of it when they announced the spilt (as those options, post-split, go to the liquidity wasteland). Thanks

ps. I would prefer a US stock, but if that is not doable, then CDN will do. Thx

Q: Hello 5i,

For tax-loss selling looking for 30 day proxies for NET, SNOW and PINS.

Thanks

Q: Hi , Peter & Team:

I'm in the process of selling some of the losers to offset the capital gain. Which of the above Co. may not rebound as well, that is the most likely to sell now, to the ones least likely to sell ( worth holding).
Take as many credit as you see fit. Thank you for all the great service and advice you have given through the year.

Q: Could you comment on SNOW's current valuation at about 14x sales? Would you consider it a more compelling add today given it has growth on its side?

Q: How does the valuation of SNOW at $200 compare to the valuation when SNOW went public?

Q: Hello 5i
A few months ago months in a reply to a member's question you suggested $200 would be a good price to purchase SNOW. I realize a lot has changed since then but the stock has dropped into the $200 range. Do you still feel it is a good entry price?
Or are there others you like more?
Thanks
Dave

Q: I would like to buy into a tech company for a long term holding. Which of the following (Bill.com, MDB, SNOW) looks to have what it takes to be the highest growth over the next 5 years. Which would be your 2nd pick. I am ok with volatility. Thank you!

Q: Could you please rank these stocks based on a 5+ year holding for a US Growth account? Thanks!

UPST, TOST, SNOW, QS, PLTR, PATH, OKTA, MQ, MELI, GLBE, DLO, ADYEY

What would be your top 3 choices right now?

Q: Hello 5i,
I'm looking to add a couple of these stocks to my growth portfolio. I realize some are very new and comparisons maybe difficult but I'd like your opinion on which would have the best growth over the next 3-5 years. Also which would you prefer?
Thank you so much!
Dave

Q: HI 5i team,
Which of the two cloud companies would you consider the better investment and why?
Thanks.

Q: I hold the above six securities in a taxable account in less than half positions. On a tax neutral basis I could sell OKTA,SNOW,GH and PLUG and split the proceeds between ROKU and CRWD to bring them to larger positions. These investments are part of a relatively agressive taxable portfolio.
Two questions - firstly, if you could rank the 6 stocks in accordance with your preference. Secondly, do you think my proposal would create a meaningful stronger position for growth.
Thanks,
Terry

Q: What do you think about selling AYX, capturing a capital loss, and using the remaining funds to purchase Snowflake for a long term position?

Thanks.

Q: Friday messy fun question, please take it lightly. I would like to start reducing the oil companies I bought in April last year. They've done incredibly well, but now I would like to increase my tech growth stocks by opening 1 or 2 new positions. I currently own GOOG, DND, U, CRWD, RDFN, ROKU, VEEV, PINS, and SQ. They have done well under your recommendations even with the recent pullbacks. As no one can time the markets, I am not willing to wait for a surprise interest hike as it is part of a locked-in RSP. It would be a 10+ hold. 1) Without considering size, could you please rank your favourite top 5 companies addressed in this question as of today in terms of strong balance sheet & steady growth potential over time (even in an interest hike environment). 2) Could you please give a brief explanation for the #1 pick only. Thank you very much as always!

Q: Hi, just wondering what your thoughts are about Snowflake now?
Thanks,
Perry

Q: Hello 5i Team
I have read the Q/A on many of these stock already , but due to the current market correction and the stock rotation .How would you rate these stocks today and would you sell any of them .Is there futher down side risk on these stocks .What would you recommend ? Please deduct credits as you feel appropriate .
Thanks for you continous service and excellent ongoing advice.

Q: Howdy,

AYX seems to be at a crossroad. It may turn things around and resume high growth by upgrading their cloud offering or perhaps be displaced due to their older server based software architecture. Should I sell AYX to initiate a position in NVDA or increase an existing CRWD position? Or just stay put with AYX to see how it turns out? Appreciate your opinion.

Thanks.
