Q: Way back when, the NASDAQ
crashed. I believe it was called dot.com bubble. It took years to recover. The NASDAQ is picking up speed on the down side. How much longer do you think this will last? On Shopify - Dec. 4 on Market Call a technical analyst answering a question on it, said he would sell and buy back later but you wait 30 days and a lot can happen. Your opinion. Thanks Dennis

Q: Thank you for continued great support and unbiased opinions.

I plotted a few favourite 5i Technology stocks with high P/Es along with the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEARCA:VGT). Except for CSU (crazy +ve outlier),
they all cluster closely in returns over the long-term (i.e. 15+ years).
So, why bet on a few horses with such risk (P/E > 50) when one can own the track, make about the same return, with much less risk (P/E = 6.6)?

I think we all understand the advantages of ETFs in general, but considering the high P/Es specifically in the Tech sector, it really begs the question above. Thank you.

Q: Hello,
I was reviewing the data available via TD Waterhouse including Thomson Reuters reports, and compared revenue and net income growth in the past 2 years of Amazon, vs Alibaba vs JD.com (all somewhat in the same industry but latter 2 in China).
My read is Alibaba and JD.com have significantly higher growth in both metrics than Amazon.
Would appreciate your review please and thanks.
Brian

Q: Hi Team, Recently, JP Morgan listed these 5 US companies as their top AI picks. Would these be 5iR's top five US AI picks? If yes, then can you rank order the picks for me. If not, what would your picks be and/or what would you add/subtract from the above 5. How would you rank order this revised list?
Thanks Team. Chris

Q: Hi Team, can I have your take on MRVL - Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
would this company be classified in the same industries as INTC, NVDA or TXN. Does it have a good growth prospect. I realize that you do not follow US stocks, but been hearing of this company for the first time in the last weeks and last couple days keeps coming up on US sites. Thank You in advance. Sam

Q: I already own AMAT with good gains.
Would you be adding at this point perhaps MU or LRCX? Or do you think the industry had a good run and the gains are done? Is sentiment against them now or this is just a hiccup? I know only time will tell but I would value your take on it.
