Thank you,

Q: Hi Team,
I was contemplating buying either TTD, ROKU, or perhaps both. I understand both of these are a play on online advertising, which is no doubt set to be long term trend as more and more of the world gets online. Which do you prefer of these 2 names? And are they too expensive to buy at these levels? Any concerns with either of them at this point? My other part of this question will also be: I already own FB. Given that most if its revenue comes from social media advertising, and they are doing great at what they are doing, is there any reason to buy the other 2 names mentioned for exposure to the future of online advertising? Other than simply diversification? Thanks
Shane.

Q: I'm interested in researching US financial institutions for new investment ideas. Could you provide me with a shortlist of 4 to 5 US companies (e.g., chartered banks and any other financial institutions) that I might consider. Many thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Cloudera just had another earnings beat quarter. Do you think that this may be a good buying opportunity, now that the buyout of Hortonworks appears to be integrated and the chart is starting to move in the right direction? Relative to other cloud companies, doesn't it seem inexpensive?

Thanks.

Q: Further to a previous question about your suggestion for 4-5 core holdings in the U.S., I notice that you did not suggest any Healthcare stocks. Could you comment on this - do you like any? I don't see much in Canada to choose from.

Thanks so much

Q: Hello-I invested in both of the companies early this year. Williams share price has dropped and now yields an eye popping eight per cent. Is that sustainable? What are your thoughts on wmb. I am tempted to buy more. Also, Citibank gave a shout out to enbridge today and it’s current yields are also high. Your thoughts on enb please?

Q: NXPI along with KODIAK Science which is up more than 100% in the last month, what are your opinions of the two stocks?
About the PE ratio - on my Globe Invest it has for instance 98.4 TTM (I do not know what that is), is that number too high for you if you were looking to purchase a stock with that number? What would be a more comfortable number? Thanks for providing info that the average investor would not know. Dennis

Q: I recently asked you for 4-5 core picks for U.S. stocks and you kindly sent them to me that was appreciated. I am trying to keep my stocks organized by sector, which you have also helped me with and wondered what (based on your Sectors) Costco and Disney would be in?
Thank you so much

Q: Hi 5i team,

Like many here, I follow the 5G theme, but there is a proliferation of participants in many facets of the technology. I own KEYS and am happy there. About a year ago, I put INSG on my watch lists. It has been dormant since then but now seems to be breaking out. I don’t see any real catalysts as such. It missed its last earnings report, but I have read some positive reviews on its 5G prospects for hot spots and SaaS. It is a smaller name and I am unlikely to buy it but I was curious as to your thoughts on it.

Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: Hello, Air Canada has been very strong for quite some time. AC's PE now sits at around 13X wheras US carriers are sitting ~7-8X PE. With the risk of oil prices spiking likely sitting at all time lows, the previous "highly cyclical sector" knock on the airline business, seems less of a problem. What are your thoughts on taking a position in an airline at this time? If you were to take a position, which would be your preference in order - and why?
