Q: Hi Guys,
I am trying to reduce the number of stocks inside my portfolio. Your thoughts on a full position (5%) for the above stocks for a 5 year hold, within a balance/growth portfolio? Any revisions would be appreciated.

thanks

Q: Hi 5i, I've seen a recently viral clip going around social media of a TV showing you which shoes an NBA player is wearing in real time while also giving you the option to purchase them. This seems like an incredibly powerful interface to drive consumer spending that can certainly be expanded to almost any visible entertainment platform. Is this along the same lines of Shopify? If not, I'm wondering if you know of any frontrunners in this space that would be worth taking a position.

Thanks!

Q: Good Morning,
This a two part question: I currently hold a 2% position in SHOP and I'm considering adding to SHOP or starting a new position in LSPD. Which of the two would you recommend today?
Secondly- I've noticed in some of the questions you like TT for Industrials. I need to add another Industrial name, and was curious what is is about TT that makes it stand out from other names?
Thank You

Q: Please name 5 companies in the USA and Canada that you think the market has punished unfairly in this tech sell off. Aggressive names with compelling fundamentals and huge growth opportunities would be the focus regardless of sector with a nod to companies with a 10 billion market cap or less. These would be companies in which the downside is fully priced in but nobody is giving them any credit for projected growth (and you believe that growth potential is substantial). If you could then pick your favourite from these in the US and Canada and add one sentence as to why I would be most appreciative!

Q: Hi team, I have a couple of questions.

First, looking into an unseen future, what are the odds of DOL and ECN being acquired? And which companies would be interested in acquiring them?

Second, I am looking to buy MG but I don't have any free cash available. Would need to sell one of my tech holdings.(CSU, SHOP, KXS, LSPD) My gut tells me to sell KXS.
Would like to get a second opinion.

Thank you.

Q: I'm looking to reduce the overall amount of positions. Of my tech names which would you suggest selling?

From what I can gather you prefer NVDA to AMD and would suggest one of either SHOP or LSPD. Is this accurate? Other suggestions or ideas to pair down?

Thank you very much

Q: My question is regarding Shopify being down today almost 5% with 6 days to earnings call. The following stocks are in my TFSA, and wondering if you’d consider trimming parts of this portfolio to add to SHOP in a potential great buying opportunity if it keeps dropping post earnings call?

Would you add to another “power house” like NVDA instead ?

Thanks for your insight!
