Q: Hi there, I'm thinking of adding the following stocks to my portfolio to make up a total of 3% to 5% of my overall holdings - so a relatively small amount overall. Can I please have your thoughts on them and if you'd rate them as buy, sell or holds? And if sell or hold, which names would you replace them with?

Thank you!

Q: Dear Peter et al,

Your answers seem to indicate that the bottom is near but will take sometime to get up to speed. You seem to suggest that a 3 to 5 year time horizon is a reasonable time frame to expect a recovery. (I am paraphrasing here!)

With this in mind which group of stocks would you choose. ARKK or FAANG group. I see that ARKK doesn't have the big names in FAANG except TSLA which some people don't include in FAANG!

An impressive bounce in ARKK , almost 10% makes me ask this question.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have been tracking these 2 companies for months. I had come to the conclusion that ANDE would be a more reliable investment going forward for the long term. To my surprise in the last month FDP went up 25% and ANDE has declined about the same. Please give me your thoughts on which company has a better prognosis. Thank you...your perspectives are always helpful.

Q: I am a retired investor with some room for growth in our portfolio.

I 'like' MKSI, am underwater on my investment, and recognize the challenges the chip sector has been and is facing. I would appreciate 5i's thoughts on this firm's solid long term potential for profitable growth.

What does 5i 'see' in the delay in acquiring Atotech? How important does 5i view the acquisition to MKSI's strategic position?

Given the importance of the China market, does 5i see MKSI proceeding with the acquisition without China's approval?

Would 5i recommend selling the shares for a tax loss now, with a view to buying them back in 30 days?

Thank you for your comments.

Q: If you go back in time anywhere from today to a few months, a lot of stocks have a previous low whereas with NVDA and AMD it is not the case, they continue to make lower lows for a lot longer than a few months ago. Have you got a reason why? SW has been performing very well for quite some time but I didn't buy it because 5i has not been too fond of it. Is this still the case? Thank you

Q: Good Morning. In your response to Mike this morning you stated: "NVEI is slightly cheaper than a large-cap tech name such as GOOG (one of IYW's top holdings), but NVEI has a much stronger growth profile, but at the cost of longevity uncertainty." Did you mean that NVEI has a much stronger growth profile than GOOG or IYW ?
Thank you,
Dennis

Q: Hi Peter,

Everything is down these days…..

I have a bunch of Shopify, and FB

Your thoughts on getting rid of SHOP and FB and move that money to GOOG ?

Do you think SHOP and FB will come back ?

Your suggestions on what to buy on selling SHOP and FB ? Something that is down and has more upside and better fundamentals….

Thanks

Q: Pinterest and Docusign have recently replaced CEOs suggesting a need to change strategies. They, and companies like Enghouse seems to be facing uphill battles to regain the positive outlook they had a couple of years ago.

Is it worth sticking with these companies to see if they improve, or is it wiser to take my lumps in small positions in these companies and consolidate into bigger positions in companies that offer more promise going forward like GOOG and BAM?

Q: I have an interesting question regarding value vs growth. I don't have exposure to MSFT and still feel bad for not having bought it in the 2009 crash. With a 5 year time frame please rank the above from top stock to least stock performance (prediction, prediction). If you were to sell one of the above to buy MSFT which would it be?

Thank you
