Q: Good evening,

I am torn with Starbucks. I bought back in 2011 and enjoyed one stock split. History shows that it is a possibility that it might split again this year. My issue is that it has grown to 10.42 % of my entire investments which is getting high. I am tempted to hold on due to its very high dividend growth and maybe another split. Sooner or later though (11% or 12%) I will have to trim back. What would be a good place to put the money if and when I trim back and do you see a split this year? Below are the past splits. From what my research show they usually split around high 80's

Q: My understanding is that both GH (Guardant Health) and BYND (Beyond Meat) of these are expensive stocks priced a lofty levels. However, based on the comments I have seen, 5i seems to be positive on GH but negative on BYND. I know these are different sectors and very different companies, but don't think you that the "expensive" label would apply to both?

Q: I currently am a holder of the following three companies. I consider CSU as an A+ quality, legacy wide-moat company and an A+ capital allocater. Conversely I consider Brookfield of similar nature in reinvestment skills, but as more of a B+ ranking. I consider Broadridge as a legacy wide-moat company, but once again I would rank it as a B+ here.

My question is if you know of any other companies that have these wide legacy moats and strong reinvestment skill similar to that of CSU. Especially down in the U.S. Perhaps you could list out 4-5 possibilities?

Thanks,

Liam

Q: Hi 5i,

Can I get your thoughts on Personalis, Inc.? It has pulled back since the IPO. What do you think of the risk/reward ratio? Would it compare to Guardant?

TIA!

Q: I bought Micron awhile back after it was featured on one of your BNN appearances. Currently down an insignificant amount after the little rally in the past two weeks. My question is whether now is the time to exit or if you still see good times ahead? There seems to be plenty of opinion out there that the sector is one to avoid right now. If selling can you suggest your favourite replacement in the US tech sector with exceptional growth prospects?
