Q: I know it’s a good problem to have but my listed tech stocks have done really well thanks in part to recommendations from 5i. So much so that I now have 41% in the tech sector. Since selling my mutual funds and establishing my own portfolio, your guidance and suggestions have been so much appreciated. It seems that other sectors may be the place to be as we come out of the pandemic. The issue is that these are for the most part proven quality stocks. I’m not keen on selling any of these. Does one bite the bullet and sell some ? If so suggestions are appreciated? Or does one just trim profit and migrate into other sectors and buy more of companies like DOO GSY and WELL? Thanks

I asked this question several yrs ago; If you became a fund manager again starting this week, what would be the first stock you would want to buy? Your answer was CSU:ca

Now that you are becoming a fund manager again, what would be the first stock you plan to buy? That's if you can answer. Thanks

Q: Hi

The Globe and Mail mentioned potential Cloud investment ideas today. CLOU-Q, WCLD-Q, SKYY and a new Canadian name DATA-T. I currently own Microsoft which gives me some Cloud exposure. I am wondering what your opinion would be to invest in this space?

Q: I recently purchased Qualcomm as it seems to be a frequent recommendation of 5i's.
I'm around the break even point at this time due to its decline on Friday after news came out about Apple making its own chips, replacing those of Qualcomm.
This represents about 11% of their revenue.
Do you still recommend holding the stock or switch to something like Nvidia?

Q: I’ve been very fortunate with LSPD since I first bought it at $18 and continued to buy on the way up to $65. I’m up over 130% overall. But now to tough part...when to sell. It seems that it has a very long runway and because of that, i’m hesitant to sell a single share. I have it in multiple accounts ( about 3/4 in a tfsa, and 1/4 in a LIRA ). I’m 47 and 10 year away (I hope) from retirement but consider myself an aggressive investor and have some stomach for volatility (how can you not during these times) Given where the SP is today, where do you see the stock going in the next 2-3years? Would you sell and buy something else? Or, let it run? Looking for ideas.

Q: I am intrigued by how VEEV has succeeded over the last 5 years. In 2015, one commentator on BNN stated that salesforce (CRM) would likely crush VEEV, because all VEEV did was customize existing software (so reduced start-up costs) and sell it in the life sciences vertical, while undercutting its competitors on price. It then quickly gained market share. Why did VEEV succeed and how did it fend off CRM and others? How big is VEEV's "moat"?

Thanks for the great service
