Q: 5i
I've held snow for a little while and was originally up about 20% but it has dropped back about 20% , so i am essentially at the point where i started . The earnings forecast for 2021 is only about 7-8% . At least from what i can find . Would you agree with this forecast ? Do you like the stock ? Would you keep it or look for something better.
Thanks for all your guidance throughout the past year .

Q: I am concerned about 30% of my holdings being in IT and would like to reduce perhaps by half and cover some other sectors for balance. (Just read your year-end article about predicting 2021 - perhaps you would not be concerned about 30% going forward)
What order might you trim / sell these to raise cash?
Much thanks for steering us through a year full of uncertainty.

Q: Hi,
I am considering selling ABST (in TFSA) and purchasing something in tech with more growth and it participates in cloud computing and cyber security. Would CRWD or MSFT be a good replacement. MSFT feels like a safer play, larger cap and with a 1% DY.

Q: Hi there,
Hi there,
I am in the process of exploring the cloud computing sector to build a position with new money starting in the new year in my tfsa.
I don't mind risk at all, but am interested in growth longer term. Appreciate your thoughts on the outlook of the sector as a whole over the next 3 to 5 years.
Thanks so much for again contributing to my stock literacy over the past year and best of the season to all of you. Stay safe!

Q: Hello team,

No need to answer this question quickly at all please!

I am surprised no one has asked, but is SolarWinds setting up for a nice trade or is this still too expensive? (And too risky based on their fundamentals?)

Given that its products is sticky and its many customers' (government) natural reluctance to use other companies, do you think it is a good bet?
If yes, at what price will you get in? Who is the competition anyway?

Hope you are all enjoying your Christmas holidays at 5i, and may peace, love, and prosperity follow you and your loved ones in 2021.

Thank you!
