Investment Q&A

Q: Hello again - I have positions in the above companies. Ahead nicely in GOOG and AMZN, doing ok in SHOP and grimly hanging on to GLBE, in a position with unusable losses. I read such great things about GOOG ( Waymo and more) and AMZN ( baking AI into retail) that I'm wondering if I should sell both SHOP and GLBE and put the proceeds evenly between the other two. I know you don't cover companies like Israel's GLBE but do you think it possible that GLBE can get up off the mat and exceed the possible gains in AMZN/GOOG, over say a three year hold. How's that crystal ball of yours working? Kindest regards

Q: hello 5i:
Years ago, we bought PANW as, back then, you considered it a "best of breed". We are not at all unhappy with results. But in continuing the "best of breed", do you see CRWD as being sufficiently "better enough" to warrant making a trade? This is not a short term hold. Can you also comment on the possibility of CRWD being acquired (doubtful that PANW) could or would be.
thanks

Q: Hi Everyone!
It seems to me that Quantum computing is of great interest , having read the following: “ …last Nov. Photonic inc, Xanadu and Nord Quantique advanced to the second stage of the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, led by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a military backed research program that aims to build a useable quantum computer by 2033.”
Are any of these companies considered investable by you or are there any others, or are things premature at the moment? It would be nice to get in early in a company with good potential.
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Happy New Year! I have held ZQQ:CA for several years and am looking switch to an unhedged fund that covers the Nasdaq 100. Is this a good time to switch or given that the US dollar is under pressure right now should I wait to make this switch? Is there an ETF you would recommend in the same category?
I am also overweight in Technology and underweight in International holdings. I hold DSG which has been in decline over the past year and was considering a swap for EUAD for the next five years. Other considerations you may suggest would be appreciated.
Thoughts?
Thank you
Dan

Q: Do you consider Cien to be a buy, sell or hold for the long term?

Q: Happy New Year to 5i research communities!

Recently, the term "quantum computing" has been heard and read from all kinds of media often and people believe this theme might be a thing for 2026. How do you think of this theme? and any investable ideas you could suggest? Thanks.

Q: I’ve held The Trade Desk for a long time and it is at a very low price at the moment compared to historic prices, but it sounds like you're skeptical about its near-term growth potential. Should I look to exit? Between Crwd, ens, app, and png …which offers the highest growth ceiling for a five-year horizon? If you have another company to recommend, feel free … Thanks

Q: Constellation Software and Lumine Group were the only two companies in our Portfolio, which had a negative return during 2025, being a rare event after years of spectacular growth. Software stocks, in general, have also been weak, for past several months, due to AI related fears. Some market watchers are hopeful to see a recovery in software stocks, during 2026 and Tech-Software ETF was up in Wednesday's trading by 1.23%, against a flat tape at Nasdaq.

1. Do you believe that investors may shake off the concerns with Constellation Software group and shares could recover in 2026, from last year's steep losses ?

2. With our combined holding down to 10-12% (CSU 7%, TOI 2.5% and LMN 2.5%), due to price declines, and road to recovery at least a few quarters away ( plus a need to raise some cash), would it be wise to trim, across the board, or consolidate into one/two names and eliminate the other ?

Thank You

Q: Everyone, if you were the new CAO of CSU what would you do in the short term? Clayton

Q: I understand COHR is preparing the paperwork to sell more shares. If I understand correctly they want to raise 1.7 billion. Their current capitalization is just shy of 28 billion so I would characterize them as still a small cap. Any concerns about dilution? Would you mind explaining COHR’s relationship with Apple? I assume COHR is a supplier but of what? Any excessive dependency on a single client? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. I’m up 280% on COHR so your help is much appreciated!
Jim

Q: I currently own 500 shares of CSU and I am up 50%.

It’s recent performance has been totally under, performing the market in a significant way


What would you think of the idea of selling the CSU and buying CLS i( which I do not own currently)



In today’s answer to a question you rates CLS as second best grower over the next 3 years.

Thoughts please
Sheldon
