Q: I am comparing FDN, IGV, VGT,and BST - all hi tech ETFs . BST has performed the best this year and pays a healthy dividend . Aside from some Apple and Google I am barely into the US Tech sector . 1. Should I just buy "something" and hope for the best ? 2. Do you have a favourite tech ETF ? 3. Am I too late for the party ?.

Q: Morning 5i,

I've been keeping my eye on GIB for a while now and, to me it's looking like its on the verge of a breakout. For the last two years the stock has been trading more or less sideways. I now little about technical analysis, but I've heard the longer the consolidation period, the bigger the breakout. At least thats the theory as I understand it.

My first question is, do you view the behavior of this stock as a possible break out opportunity?

Second, if you were to move into the name, would you buy a half position now, and then wait for positive confirmation before purchasing the second half position?

Thanks again for the great service!

Q: I picked up half a position on this stock on your suggestion. It ran up and away from me and I never got the gumption to buy the other half. It has been a nonstop mess of news/deals/upgrades right up into today. What do you think of it after today? That money I've set aside is burning a hole in my pocket!

Q: Although this UK, NASDAQ listed company is not in your usual wheelhouse, 5i (and Peter in particular) seem quite in tune with the tech area so I am hoping you can provide some information into this company.

It rose about 25% on Friday on its earnings report and has had stellar growth (I think) even without that bump. It is debt free and has money in the bank but does not yet turn a profit. I know individuals who deal with the company and they are quite impressed. Can you provide any further insight into this firm?

Appreciate all that you do.

Paul F.
