Q: Hi 5i,
Currently holder of CIEN. Since latest earnings Dec 14, stock is up around 15%, while after the last earnings in Sept share price essentially fell of a cliff...I believe because of reduced forecasts forward.
What is your current opinion on the short term and long term prospects for this stock based on latest earings? Would you continue to hold this going into the new year or would you take any profits and re-examine in 2021?
Thx
Jim

Q: I'm also looking for some exposure to Healthcare. Not many options in Canada. I use to own Medtronic, Abbott and United Health. Are those good places to start in the U.S? Can you rank them in order of preference? Any others that seem appealing? I'd like to stay away from the stocks surrounding the vaccine since they seem speculative at the moment.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Would you invest in this ETF if you wanted to participate in the EV trend? What would be a good investment for a more conservative investor who does not like to take much risk? Would you prefer a single stock instead? If so, which would you recommend? Thank you for your invaluable service.

Q: Hi everyone!

I have a 2% weighting in technology. I am deploying a lump sum from a real estate sale and so far I've deployed 35% of my total, with 1% each in Kinaxis and Lightspeed, although Lightspeed is now probably a 2% position with its advance. Looking to exchange some money to U.S. dollars and was looking at the Companies above. My target weighting for technology is 14% so I can add a few companies. Which are your favourites? Any others to add to the list?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Peter and Team:
I own 15K score Media @ 35cents. The takeover of Great Canadian looks more certain and that means very few public gaming companies to invest in, Score being one of them. Do the chances of it being licensed in most of the canadian provinces look like it will come to fruition? The USA states? The last cash raise should help the balance sheet, but for how long? Your opinion please about adding to my position forgetting about sector weights. Would you also compare it to Mitek, which you spoke favourably about on Dec 24th. Which would you go with, if either, or would you wait until the possible retraction in Jan. ( Sorry, market timing. )
Thanks,
Ben.

Q: Hi. On the above six stocks, I am down today alone (Dec 28) more than 6% on half of them and down 4% on the other half. On a day when the 3 major markets are up. The question is, is this a theme of investors thinking these are stay at home stocks with a view to normality returning and therefore more downside on these type of stocks to come as the virus wanes, or more just tech, growth, high flier stocks having their usual ebbs and flows.

Q: I was wondering if I could get an updated opinion on GAN. They sound the Shopify-equivalent of the gambling space. The CEO claims the US online gambling market to expand from 12% of the country to 75% by 2025 (over 6x increase). Thank you and happy holidays to the whole 5i team.

Q: Hello team,

Thanks to your suggestions, I am considerably up in tech. I bought lemonade awhile ago and am planning on selling tomorrow. I also own Crowdstrike and I am thinking of adding to my positions, although with the recent gains, I am thinking of maybe holding off. If you could please suggest a momentum growth stock that maybe hasn’t been getting attention lately, or if it is better to hold off till after tax selling in January. Love 5i! Thank you for service and Happy Holidays!!
