Q: Dear 5i,
If I were interested in starting a position in Alphabet (assuming it fit with my sector allocation) would it make sense that I should go for the C class rather than the A class of shares? I would get a moderate discount and still share in the (potential) company's fortunes. The only draw back is that I would have no voting power.
Is my thinking correct? May I have your thoughts?
Thank you for your time.

Q: I invested in iRobot a few months ago at about $82 as a play in AI for my RRSP, planning on just sitting on it for years. It soon dropped into the $60's but I held on, and in the past couple of weeks it's been gaining day over day, now up over $115. Is there a valid reason for the quick rise in price? Or, should I be concerned that there is hype involved, and take some gains. You assessment please! Thanks, Kim
