If yes, then suggest a equivalent Canadian ETF.

Q: AVL has been doing extremely well recently and I’d like to know if you think its performance is likely to continue, and what you think about it in general. As of Feb 3rd, it’s 20 cents a share. Do you see it ever getting near its 2011 peak of $9 again?

Also wondering if you could comment briefly on the outlook for CIT, a financial name in the USA. Thanks.

Q: Portfolio Analytics suggests I need to increase my U.S. holdings and communication services allocations as it current says I have no comm. services. 2 part question to help address this gap in my portfolio (feel free to take 2 credits):
1) I currently hold TTD. Do you consider TTD a communication service? Your platform labels it as technology (software) whereas BMO Investorline labels it a comm. service.
2) Can you please provide me with your favorite 3-5 U.S. names in communication services (in order) that you would start a position in today. This would be bought in either my TFSA or RRSP. I am a younger investor that has 20+ years until retirement (defined benefits pension) so would be focusing on growth. A dividend is not a requirement.

I have scanned past answers to look for names you have mentioned recently (somen noted above) but there was never a focused question on just communication services.

Thanks for the fantastic service! I cannot understate how much I have learnt since becoming a member.

Q: I'm wondering if you have strong feelings about the prospects of any of these or similar mega cap tech stocks, in terms of their values against each other or others similar. I own most of these but on their own they are fairly small holdings. Could you please rank, and which would be worth trading up for the others? Also how many would you recommend holding?

Q: I have MDT whose shares have been in a muted trading range for more than a year. Understandable reasons— e.g. postponement of elective surgeries &c.). However I then checked the 10-year performance of the medical equipment ETF , IHI.us, with that of MDT. To my surprise, MDT has not outperformed IHI in ANY part of an entire decade (I used charts at Scotia’s FlightDesk for this).

Several analyst shops seems to favor MDT, as do you. Has something changed in recent months to boost the prospects of MDT?

If this is a good time to add to one’s holding in MDT, please comment on whether the following metrics from GuruFocus are correct:
TTM P/E : 42.98 and ROE less than 7%. Further, I see y-y EBITDA Growth Rate % of [gasp] minus -30.10 and PEG of 11.45.
Can this be correct for a well-regarded company ? Kindly give your data for forward P/E , PEG , and please confirm whether cash flow from operations is adequate for operations and to meet debt obligations.

Q: Do you know of a company that is ready to roll out the 5G technology. Thanks. Ernie

Q: Good afternoon 5i Team!

I would like to get your opinion on Mitek versus Crowdstrike. If you were to purchase one of these today for a one-year hold, which would you prefer?

Thank you.

Brad
