Q: GIS, KHC, CAG and CPB are all near long term technical lows. I know these are not 5i type of investments. However, in looking for a reasonable value play and using Loblaw as a relative baseline of 10 (unless you have a better comparative), are you able to provide an overall approx. rating of each with dividend and balance sheet sustainability in mind? Are there any major concerns that would make you completely avoid any, or all of these?

Q: Hi Team. What are you thoughts on WD-40 Co?

Q: Could you please share your take on PANW as an early 2026 buy for growth over a long-term hold (10+ years) irrespective of sector allocation or diversification in a portfolio.

What are its core strengths (moats if any?), competitive positioning, threats, etc.?

(A response in January is fine.)

Thanks!

Q: I hold Crowdstrike (CRWD) and Palo Alto (PANW) in the cybersecurity space. PANW has done well for me but last year it struggled. I’m thinking of selling some, or all, of PANW and buying Fortinet (FTNT). Could I please get your thoughts? If you were to hold just two, or all three, could you please tell me what percentage you would allocate to each? Thank you.

Q: I remember many years ago, when I had just started looking after my own investments. I made many mistakes and even ended up with a few "smoking holes in the ground". I have now been a long term subscriber to 5i and have enjoyed much success as a result of the teams sage advice. Than you for helping me separate the Wheat from the chaff.

As a retired high school teacher I remember way back, prior to alphabet (google's) IPO, seeing their logo on every computer in the classroom when students booted them up, and thinking, " I wonder if they would ever IPO?" Well, of course they did, and upon seeing that I would need to pay a 17% premium as a retail investor (no matter how quickly you acted the morning of the IPO) I passed on the stock until years later. I am a happy shareholder currently.

My question is, are there any pre IPO companies that you are currently excited about, and if so, how can a retail investor have the best chance of getting in on an IPO other than waiting until it trades publicly? Anthropic? others?

Thank you

Q: I have a position in MSTR that is now less than 1%. My cost is $12.80. I'm wondering about averaging down to bring the position to 1-1.5%. What are your thoughts for MSTR in the coming years, and my idea to average down in this case?
