Q: I have held CVS for approx. 6 months and virtually it is flat. There have been many recommendations from the street however I have 22,000.00 which seems to be dead money. Should I sell and buy some tech stock like Oracle or Taiwan semiconductor. Do you have a suggestion other than these 2?
Cheers, Doug

Q: A little while back, I saw some info on CTS and thought to start a position; I purchased about 0.5% weight of my equity portfolio., and I was thinking of adding. I currently have CSU at about 3.75% weight. I have no TOI, which. has been favourably mentioned here. Some time ago I realized I was overdiversifies and had too many holdings; I have been reducing the overall number of positions held; it is no longer as big a problem but still could do with some more reduction over time. With all that in mind:
1. Do you see CSU and TOI as one position, or are they sufficiently different to count as 2?
2. If you were me, would you simply sell CTS and add to CSU?
3. Sell CTS & some CSU and add TOI?
4. Sell some CSU and add to CTS?
5. Sell a bit more CSU and add to CTS and buy some TOI?
thanks for your excellent service.

Q: At one time I owned CSU (bought at $110 and sold at $600) and regretted the decision ever since. The money was needed for a real estate purchase in Toronto. I purchased SHOP at $40 and I have not sold any shares. I was considering selling 50% of my SHOP and buying CSU for a long term hold.
Many thanks for your comments.

Q: Hi 5i,

You have mentioned that "Anything 'growthy' and on the smaller side has been unloved for the last one to two months." So the Hi Tech stock seem to be the worst sector now. Do you think the tech sector is over? How many months or years will the tech stocks come back by your experiences. I have no income, but can still survive for 2 years.

Q: Hello Folks:
It appears technology stocks are moving opposite direction to industrials such as Deere, Caterpillar, Cummins etc. which have been very quiet for a number of years.
Is this a normal situation?

Does this mean there is more confidence in this sector and less in technology; or is it because technology has been the go to in times of uncertainty; although I would think these Covid times would have produced more uncertainty with the opposite effect.

Do you feel this trend will continue empowering industrials at the expense of technology such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google etc.

My specific question is re: Veeva (on a steady downturn) and how you view it's long term prospects.

Thanks for your good work
