Q: "Hello 5i team,

As we approach election season and Q4, the markets look to be taking a bit of a downturn that is reminiscent of earlier this year in Feb/Mar.

What are your thoughts on what's ahead for Q4 in terms of buying? Are there any industries and/or names that you would suggest to focus on?

Specifically, I am considering AAPL, MA, SHOP, SQ and AMZN on the current correction, given the upcoming holiday and gift buying season is likely to have a lot of ecommerce action and new apple toys, with payment processing being a natural fit.

If you could suggest your views on which industries and names have typical strength Q4 that would be appreciated.

Thanks very much! "

Q: First of all, thank you for all your great advice. It's appreciated.
I'm interested in ideas for some good stocks involved in "data protection," please. Basically cyber security I guess, but more specifically the protection of what the everyday individual does on the internet, social media, etc (ie: your personal data) from being collected and used by Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, etc, etc, etc.
If you have a differing opinion please feel free to express it, but my thought would be that what is done with our personal data and all the compounding issues that tie into this theme are a societal issue that will hopefully get a lot of attention in the coming years.. decades..
Thank you.

Q: I just retired with no pension and living off my portfolio. I’m sitting on a lot of cash right now with very little US investments. I would like to start buying slowly. What would you suggest. Preferably ETF’s listed on the TSX with the odd US stock. Thanks

Q: Thoughts on AMWL and the IPO? Did not double or run up too crazy like some of the other recent IPOs. Thinking in 3-5 years a sub $25 purchase price may look good. I like the Google backing and the optionality with what they can do together with the Google technology and Fitbit acquisition. Any interest in this company or is TDOC the go to name?

Q: I own a considerable position in this ETF for exposure to Artificial Intelligence . It has done extremely well but seems to be levelling off . Obviously at 3x index , holding it becomes a crap shoot. UBOT may be too risky . Does it make sense to stay in the sector , or what might you recommend ?
