For a new position and a 5+ year hold do you currently prefer IWM over IWO? Or could you recommend another ETF that would be good small cap exposure. Would IWO be a bit more challenged in a higher inflation environment?

Q: Hi 5i,
I know you haven’t been big fans of WBA due to their debt load. They had a decent earnings beat today, boosted by Covid vaccinations. They took a majority interest in Village MD to open more health clinics attached to their drugstores. They are also considering exiting the sale of tobacco products.
What are your thoughts on WBA these days with this renewed health focus?
Thanks again.
Q: How much will Amazon go up on the Rivian IPO? Amazon owning around 10% of Rivian and if the IPO goes as planned than we will get an actual valuation of Amazon's ownership of these shares. My play was Amazon - not Rivian. Or is the Rivian valuation too small to move AMZN stock?
Q: What are you thoughts on the recent run by plug. I know there is some energy concerns that has investors looking a alternatives.

Q: I bought AMZN around the time that the pandemic hit in March 2020 at $2000/share and then rode it up to an all time high of $3770 in the summer of 2021. Since then the stock is down $500-$600 -- which is basically the level its been at throughout most of 2021 -- except for that "blip" in July 2021. The reason for my message is a request to convince me why I should hang on to AMZN -- when what I really want to do is sell. Thanks!
Q: With MasterCard recently announcing entry into the BNPL space, would this potentially make it a better purchase for a longterm hold than Visa, if adding only one of these companies today? Thanks for all of your advice.
