Q: I have never owned amazon, apple, google.microsoft, Facebook. I owned intel, Cisco and nvdia (sold way too soon) over the years. Could you rank which you would buy first in order of safety for five years. Thanks.

Q: Hi Folks,

I'm interested in purchasing 1 or 2 of the FAANG stocks for a long term hold. How would you rank them at this time? Do you consider all to be good buys at today's prices?

Thanks as always...

Dennis

Q: I'm hoping you might be able to help me understand why Broadcom (AVGO) seems to be so highly regarded by the investment community, as a strong buy. When I review the stock on the TMX website there is an indication that this company's shares are currently trading at a price to earnings multiple of 223.6 to 1. That seems to me to be an insanely high valuation yet the Research tab indicates that 21 analysts rate the company as a strong buy, 1 as a moderate buy and 1 as a hold.

Do you have an opinion about this company and its future prospects? Do firms in this industry typically trade on the basis of some other metric than P/E? Given that I hold nothing else in this space within my portfolio currently, would you recommend that I take a 5% position in this firm at this time?

Q: The recent issue of the ETF & Mutual Fund Update discussed two ETF’s in the U.S. Technology Sector, ZQQ and XQQ. In your opinion would BST:US be as good as or better than the above mentioned?
Thank you for considering my question.

Q: I'm guessing 5i has a substantial number of clients now and I am wondering if that is a factor in issuing a sell recommendation on a stock when a major event happens? For example, would Peter have " done nothing " as a portfolio manager when SHOP was attacked as was instructed to 5i member's? In no way is the a question on integrity or a lack of respect, I'm a 5i member for life!

Q: Seems to me management has not done a very good job in providing shareholders with any comfort during the short attack. The only mention from media I've witnessed has been a name calling tweet and "wait till later" for explanation, have I missed anything? Even with the decline I'm still a very happy shareholder, buying more on the way up, letting run to a 9% position and thankfully selling down to a less than full position. Much credit goes to 5i for teaching me these skills, thank you!
