Q: I keep wanting to buy something in the solar space. The overall trend seems to be too strong to not do well eventually. Picking a winner however is another matter. Does CSIQ look better given the latest results and the new and substantial contract in Dubai? If not CSIQ is there anything you would recommend? Thank-you again for your insight and great service, the only great service I have ever come across for us mere retail investors.

Q: Good morning, 5i team,

I know you don't usually give advice on US stocks. I wonder if you can provide your opinion if Amazon is a buy at the current price! What do you think of the valuation n growth in the next three years? What would be the greatest risk?

Do you think it's better to buy a Healthcare stock instead? If yes, can you provide a name or two mainly for growth?

Thanks a lot! Rossana.
