Q: Hello
I hold both stocks and liked them so far. I am considering back some more stocks with both stocks currently down with this market volatility.
With the corona virus fear and probably a recession, how do you see both companies outlook based on their overall earnings and management.
Do you still consider PKI as a good growth stock?
Do you suggest waiting for more downturn before buying them ?
Thank you

Q: Could you please comment on the Q4 results reported today. The stock is down 21% from its high on Jan. 5/20 versus a 3% loss for the TSX over the same period. I know it is problematic with todays volatility and uncertainty but could you venture an opinion as to how you think this stock will do over the next 6 to 12 months versus the market in general. Thank you, Ian

Q: Hello 5i team,
I've held a good number of stocks you hold in your BE portfolio and I've managed to obtain a 14% compound annual total return in the last 11 years.
100% of my portfolio is in equities; I'll be shortly 77 years old and plan to reduce my equity exposure to 30%, with the above stocks in mind.
Your opinion is most valuable

Q: I just become member today and trying to familiarize with your contents on website.
What portfolio should I consider for TFSA and for my RRSP. I really like your BE portfolio but there are total 25 holdings. Leaving aside portfolio consideration, what would be your opinion/suggestion for me to buy in BE today for my TFSA. If you could suggest at least 7 to 10 holdings as I have all my TFSA contribution in cash (all of my 67 K so far) in Investment account.
