Q: hello 5i:
Took some profits at an opportune time in AVGO and PANW. I'd like to stay in the tech space with the proceeds (still have half positions in the 2 sold) and was considering some stocks you like. I left out NVDA as AVGO is in that space. Which do you like best between ADBE and QCOM, assuming they are 2 of your favourites, and why.
thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
It’s been a while since a question on VIAC. Over the past week or so, I have seen several analysts turn positive on VIAC for 2022. It is viewed as cheap on a PE and PS basis. Analysts say it has a lot of content which is really undervalued by the market and that its streaming service has good potential. It does have a lot of debt.
That’s those guys. What are your current views?

Thanks again.
Dave

Q: With the market rotation and possible interest rates impacting growth stock valuations.

Is ARKK becoming hit too hard to ignore?

What would be your top ETF plays for today and the next 2-3 years? I've been riding semi's.

This is an added boost for my portfolio which is otherwise balanced.


Thank you very much!!!

Q: Hi 5i team.
Looking for at least 3-5 year and likely longer hold on cybersecurity stocks or ETF. Would invest about 2 % of my equity funds in this.
Need high conviction for longer term capital preservation though I am quite OK with volatility. (A lot of tech stocks currently are relatively on sale.)

What would be your top 2 stocks and/or ETF recommendation? What price would you consider buying in at for your top recommendations.
Thank you so much.

Q: I have some extra USD money from a small US pension that is used for going to Florida in the winters. Since we have not gone in the last two years, I would like to put some of it in our TFSA. My questions are, if I buy say TD on the NY stock exchange would the dividend in US dollars be subject to 15% withholding tax. Could you please give me several companies I could buy into if this is true. Could you also give me several US companies or ETF's that would give me a dividend and hopefully growth for a long term hold. Thank you for all the help I get for being a member. Gary

Q: Hello Peter,

Could you please give me your opinion of the stock at current price levels? I have been holding on to it through the decline and am wondering if it should have a place in the risky portion of the portfolio? With the rotation out of growth providing opportunities at now lower valuations, where would you place OSTK in the spectrum?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Happy New Year 5i. I'm looking for an investment in the water space. Would you select an industrial like AQUA or XYL or favour the engineering side with a company like TTEK? Are there any other companies you would suggest in this space?

Q: Xylem is rated a 'sell' by Raymond James. 'Sell' ratings are not too common among analysts so I would appreciate your opinion of the company. Would you recommend an alternate water stock to replace XYL?
With appreciation,
