Q: Hello Peter,
If you were starting a new account with 100k and wanted to build a somewhat balanced portfolio of 10 US equities, with a 10 year timeframe, which 10 would you currently choose, including considering current price?

Q: Hi 5i,
Macys recently announced an offering of $1.3b senior secured notes and judging from share price spike the markets seem to like something about it.
Can you tell me why this happened and if this stock is investable with potential at current price, for a 2 year time horizon. Why/why not?

Thx

Q: I have been looking for under-the-radar U.S. dividend paying companies that offer diversification. While Verizon is hardly under-the-radar, it does seem an excellent diversifier. Bottom line, how would you rate these three companies in terms of dividend paying reliability. Thanks for your excellent input!!

Q: Good morning,

Roku has dropped from approx $140 back to $106. Would you be adding to your position (If light) at current levels or are there any changes in your long term thesis?

Yesterday you mentioned XWD as a good ETF option for international exposure but stated that it had 65 percent NA. Is there a good option for international equity with a value bent without NA companies?

Thanks for being a calming voice during volatility.

Q: Although both stocks are in the financial area but certainly quite different.
Both are moving quite significantly with renewed interest in the sector. Would either one or both be suitable buys, even with their current increase?
Thank you, Team!

Q: Hello,
I wanted to get your thoughts (do you like the space) on Invitation Homes. Debt is on the higher side but it's an interesting concept that is meeting changing lifestyle demands by providing access to high-quality, updated homes with valued features such as close proximity to jobs and access to good schools.
Thank you,
Glen

Q: Hi 5i
What will Sanofi’s sale of its’ stake in Regeneron do to the price of regeneron? What is the $$ value and % of the REGN market cap? (about $12b?) Will Sanofi keep any of its regeneron interests). 5i pls look at the technicals and suggest an entry point? As the sale is to be completed by December (or the lock up) should one wait?
Many thanks,

Q: Frontline is a shadow of its former self a decade ago. It has finally shown some signs of life in the last year: shows a 34% dividend. The fact that it actually still has a dividend seems remarkable.

Is this company buyable here? Is it better managed and is that dividend likely to continue. Was the dividend cut over the last 10 year or eliminated at all during this time/

Thanks for your insights here.

Q: I purchased AMGN - 18 months ago for $243.00. Since that time, it has come up to that level a year ago and recently twice this year. I have had the stock 18 months and I am still under water. 5i likes this stock in the health field - how much longer do you think it will take before I see a profit? On another note today the 26th - the market had the biggest run in ages, but participants (mostly tech) NVDA, PYPL, SHOP, KXS along with other techs, did not participate and went the other way. Were people selling these stocks to raise money to buy the other ones that went up? I know you will have the right answer. Thanks Dennis
