Q: Hi All at 5i!
I am giving my portfolio a spring cleaning. I have Arkk, Apps and Unity software, all of which are down significantly. I do not need the money and can hold these for at least 5 years. Is there hope for any of them should the market start performing better or are there inherent problems with them and should I just let them go . Your opinion is highly valued. Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

A 5i member (Rajeev) stated in a recent question that he had an overweight core ownership of Constellation Software. We agree with you about the benefits of keeping the "free" TOI and LMN shares we received from these CSU spinoffs. However, does your answer imply that since we are presently overweight in Technology (largely because of CSU) should we consider reducing exposure to CSU? This would be a very hard thing to do, so it's a dilemma, to say the least!

As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: Hello, after 2/3 weeks of trading, Lumine shares flirted with a low of $14 and now appears have bounced back above $15.50. Trading volume also appears be declining now. ( Initial few days traded a few millions shares each day ). Do you think, selling by Index funds/ETF's is almost done ? if so, would you still wait to buy/add until shares trade down to $12.50 - $13.50 level or $14 could be the near term floor ? Thank You

Q: Hi, What % of TOI and LMN common shares are owned by CSU ( including any preferred or other class to be converted to common, in future ). Also, what % of market capitalization of CSU, the two companies make up, respectively, based on current values. I guess, what we are trying to assess is that, to what extent and why it makes sense to own TOI and LMN shares, while already having an overweight core ownership of Constellation Software. Thank You

Q: hi folks:

1) what is your opinion of the long term viability of this company?

2) do you have any other companies in mind that would be competitors (direct or indirect)

3) are you familiar with other well run electrical/ component/ grid/ transmission companies that are leading in the drive towards the inevitable electrification of the world?

thanks

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking to add 3 of CSU, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL or VISA for some growth to my otherwise conservative RRSP portfolio. May I have your 3 recommendations that could add some "zip" to my RRSP account. Looking at a 10 year time frame.
Thanks,

Q: I'm looking to sell some of my Lightspeed positions and looking for an alternative in the same space.

- I have a huge loss with LSPD, and looking for best proxy to recoup some losses going forward...

- Not interested in 5+ year investment, as too much can change...

- I'm looking for a recommendation of a candidate that has great prospects 1-2 years, 3 max

- I'm open to any suggestions & ideas other than the companies I listed in my question as well

Q: Recently there has been some work done on distortions introduced by excluding stock based compensation from the financial statements. According to one London fund manager adding back $1.8 billion of compensation expenses actually places Intuit's P/E ratio at 43 rather than 28 times, which on the face of it seems worrisome. What is your take on this?

Q: For approximately 10 month of the last year (March 22 to Jan 23) AMD and NVDA stock prices acted similarly but in Feb 23 ADM stock price leveled off and then dropped while NVDA continued to climb. Was there any specific circumstance that caused this divergence? At this time what entry price for each of these stocks would you suggest. Thanks
Mike
