Q: Good Afternoon,
Are you guys satisfied with their results? Looks like EPS was flat but they have a good 5 year average growth rate of about 25%. Do you expect this EPS growth rate to continue? If they earn $0.08/share this year and grow earnings at 25%/year for the next 5 years they will earn say $0.25/share apply a multiple of 25-30 gets us to $6.25-$7.50. I'm just trying to quantify where your expectations are for this company over the next few years. They have a good cash position so hopefully won't have the need to issue equity over the next few years.
Thank-you

Q: Hello 5i,
Nice job on the new web site!
I began adding stocks to an otherwise sleeepy TFSA after I joined 5i. I recently used Norbert’s gambit to add us $. Also, thank you 5i, I’m close to 100k in that account. My accounts, taken together are balanced across sectors but lean toward growth. I should add to health sector but not necessarily in the TFSA- so don’t let that restrict your answer.
Of the stocks listed above, which one shows the most potential? Why? What are the growth numbers for 2018.
If not any of the above, those listed are expensive, can you offer a couple of US stock ideas?
Many thanks,

Q: I have a recollection that about a month or two ago you suggested a company engaged in artificial intelligence that would be a cheaper alternative to Nvidia. Can you remind me of the name of this company? Thanks.

Q: Hi team,
New website looks great; cleaner and simpler to use. I own two of the FAANG stocks; FB and GOOG. I am overweight FB, but I don’t always trim my winners unless I see heightened risk going forward. Anyway, all FAANG stocks that reported earnings in past week or so, plus MSFT, crushed earnings. All FAANG and MSFT got some nice price gains and held those gains. FB did not and they had a blow-out quarter. It seems every quarter Zuckerberg warns of upcoming big spending on the next big issue. One quarter it was video. This quarter it is the need for much tighter security on ads with all the fuss about fake news and the Russians trying to influence the election. FB and GOOG have been dragged before Congressional committees, although FB seems to be getting most of the heat. FB has said it will hire another 10,000 employees to vet ads and stories for authenticity.
What is your view of FB going forward from here? What is the likelihood that Congress would come down hard on FB (and GOOG) and maybe regulate parts of their businesses? Or will Zuckerberg be able to deflect all this heat with the measures he is taking and FB’s earnings will power ahead without missing a beat?
thanks again,
dave

Q: I bought QCOM a couple of months ago with the intention of holding this longterm for the dividend. In light of the potential takeover by Broadcom, what should I do now and/or if/when it gets taken over? If I have to find a replacement, which US tech-sector stock would you endorse for a generous, stable dividend (preferably >3% if possible) and modest growth, for a longterm hold?
