Q: Hi,
I read an article called “The World Relies on One Chip Maker in Taiwan, Leaving Everyone Vulnerable” that appeared on the WSJ.

Apart from TDM, NVDA & INTEL, are there any others names in the industry that you could share or recommend?

Thanks,

Q: I have small holdings (1 1/2% to 2 1/2% of APTV (+24%)&TSLA(+12.6%) in my TFSA and DOCU(+18.6%), IDRV(+7.77%) & NVDA(+47.29%) in my cash ac over 7 month hold. Looking at adding some more USD and wondering if I should be adding to some of these or buying others. This would be a 3-5 year hold.
Take as many credits as you see fit.
PS: Thanks to you I am up 235% on shopify! Thanks for all you do.

Q: I go to 5i questions every day except for yesterday the 16th due to the recommendation not to go on the site as it was being updated. Thursday, the 17th I noticed that Trade Desk in my online account was out 90%. I searched all over my online account short of making a phone call and waiting 2 hours on hold. I then search all over my online account and there was nothing pertaining to the problem. I then went to Bloomberg Markets and there was nothing there about it. About 7:00 p.m. tonight - I checked my online account and I am out 89.9% and searched back to the last purchase on October, 2020 of 6 shares purchased at $612.50 for a total of $3,684.99. I just contacted 5i at 8:00 p.m. which I am writing now and I noticed that recently someone had asked a question about Trade Desk. It would have been helpful to find information out sooner but it seemed none of my research provided it. I guess I will phone my online account tomorrow and see what they haven't picked up on this.

Q: I'm down on both of these (which I'm fine with), but wondering if you still see potential in them as the higher risk higher reward portion of my portfolio. If not, what would you suggest as replacements for a 3-5 yr outlook?

Q: Hello 5i, a report from RBC came out this morning with their ''need to have'' tech companies. Their Outperform ratings were on COUR, DBX, DCT, DOCU, JCOM, PEGA, TWLO and PEGA. Are you familiar with those companies and could you please mention your (2) favourites of the list and why? I own DOCU and TWLO already. If your preference is the same, it'll be a relief. If they aren't, I would open a new position since I have room for another one in terms of my allocation. Much appreciated, thank you.

Q: Am considering selling my TFSA shares of DND and adding to the a small position of GSY and/or NVEI. Your thoughts on this or do you have another stock that might be added to my 2 choices.
I’m not too sure on their logic in going private, was it a way of testing the market to see if other companies were interested?
Thanks to 5i in keeping me on track and giving your great knowledgeable opinions. John
