Q: I've made some money on MSFT and currently its hit a high water mark, been treading water and today has dropped a bit. What do you think about selling MSFT and using those proceeds to buy DOCU and CRWD. Obviously risk is tremendously greater with those two than MSFT, and both are still losing money but their rev. growth is big, debt is less than cash for DOCU and almost nothing for CRWD sitting on $1 bil in cash. Thinking momentum and growth continue, with price appreciation greater than MSFT, while biting my nails along the way.
Thanks.

Q: Van Eck Vectors Biotech E.T.F. BBH (Nasdaq)
1. I rarely buy ETFs. When I do, I favor ones with less than 50 holdings. I am under the impression that an ETF with a large number of holdings is so diluted that you tend not to get as much upside/downside. Is this this approach favoring higher beta better or worse than one that ignores the number of holdings?
2. BBH has a relatively concentrated portfolio of 26 biotech businesses.
3. Your insight into BBH please? Substance only please; have already reviewed material including ETF.com, ETF Channel.
4. If you think others are better , please do suggest names. I have not researched IBB or XBB.

Q: Hello 5i Team

I am reviewing global infrastructure / real asset closed end funds as a means to diversify into US/Global infrastructure companies. Two examples I could find on the Canadian Market are Brookfield Global Infrastructure Securities Income Fund (BGI.UN) and Middlefield Global Real Asset Fund (RA.UN).
Questions are:

1 - Which is the better choice BGI.UN or RA.UN?
2 - Any Canadian or US listed ETFs that I should be looking at?
3 - Any other Canadian Closed End Funds I should be looking at?
4 - Any US listed Closed End Funds I should be looking at?
5 - What is a reasonable MER for these products (BGI.UN is 1.25 % and RA.UN is 1.10 %)?
6 - What is the minimum assets under management (AUM) I should be looking at ( BGI.UN is +/- $102M and RA.UN is +/- $100M)?
7 - Any other items to review?
Thanks

Q: I bought these three stocks (CAR, LUV and ELY) for the eventual bounce, which has come far more quickly than I imagined. My plan was to set a target and then sell because I don't consider any of them to be especially good long term holds. Are any of them what you would consider to be great companies? Thank-you again for sage advice in turbulent times.

Q: HI Team, I currently hold CMG and has performed well lately, do you see much more upside/growth? Do I continue to hold, or sell . If I were to sell, between DPZ or SBUX , which has the better growth profile? I know Mr. Cramer loves DPZ but it has had a good run-up and wonder about it. I thank-you in advance! Sam
