Q: I have been a happy, satisfied member of 5i for 10 years and in all that time I have shied away from placing much importance P/E ratios, mostly because I sensed 5i finds P/E ratios can sometimes be misleading. Curiosity has gotten the better of me today. Without having done a deep dive, what should I glean from the information profile if you do or do not have a P/E ratio in the profile box? Is the lack of a P/E number a fed flag? Why does FLY have negative -12 or -16 over last 5 years?

Q: First, want to thank you for the service provided over the years. I recently reached a financial milestone (another 0 at the end of the net worth statement at age 33) and 5i played a massive part. Biggest elements were the great stock picks (obviously) which allowed me to outperform the market quite a bit, as well as the reassurance to stay long when the market has a fit.

My question is can you provide a list of top picks for long term growth that are less associated with AI. I'm heavy in AI, want to stay overweight, however would like to slowly diversify a bit over time. Open to a mix of risk levels.

Q: One of the members mentioned feeling bad that he had missed the boat on the rising tide. I am also in that boat. I had planned to buy something but kept putting it off. That being said, are there still some bargains around? I am thinking of the usually favoured stocks such as Shop, Google, CSU etc.
Thanks for the greatest service
