Q: Hey 5i,
Can you provide your analysis on YFI.v after the recent news and shareprice appreciation. I own shares with some "play" money in my TFSA. After basing for a long period in the 20 cent range it has essentially doubled in price to coincide with some news that validates their technology. Understanding the risk involved, do you ride out the momentum?

Q: Intrinsyc Technologies reported yet again another stellar quarter of both revenue growth and profits. This company's stock seems really cheap compared to other small tech companies and given this stock trades in $C and and results are reported in $US. Shouldn't this stock get much more attention given the space they are in, the growth, the profits and the strong balance sheet?

Q: I notice sometimes you suggest selling after a security rises quickly and sharply, but for the most part suggest selling related to fundamental changes or portfolio weighting.

For shopify my weighting is fine, but has risen $36 to $51 quickly. With limited info that it's around 3.5% of a diversified portfolio, is this one to take a little off the table or let ride given fundamentals & weighting?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize this is not your "cup of tea". However ...please give your current assessment. The new phone, winning the law suit and more demand for security...may this create a small catalyst? I have held it for a while...The stock has moved up slightly...please give your opinion. Do these positive developments support "holding" for a while or best to sell in this little upswing?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: XT-N
iShares Exponential Technologies

I am looking for an ETF that follows emerging new technologies. One that seems to fit the bill is iShares Exponential Technologies (XT-N). What do you think of it? Is there another you would like better? Are there any traded in Canada?

Q: I had purchased both Amazon and Netflix in equal weighting for my US holdings, at 2.5% each. I rode the wave of Netflix to top $130 only to see it tumbling down right to where I started. No harm, no foul. The question is, though, is the long-term growth of Netflix intact, notwithstanding its recent slowdown? I tend to have faith in these behemoths re-inventing themselves, but it doesn't always work out. Would it make sense to move this money to Amazon, or does it make good investment sense to hang on. (The other position I was thinking of adding to instead of Amazon is NVDA, now held at 2.5%, roughly.) Thanks, as ever, for your sound advice.
