Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS

Q: You have, in the past, listed about ten companies (including CSU, X, KXS, CAE, BYD, ENB, ADW) that you felt had a unique opportunity to flourish under these special circumstances.
Asking the same question today, what would your updated list look like?

Q: As a general preamble, I notice that, given the recent dip, a surprising number of companies have stalled over a 2, 3 or 4 month periods. SHOP has done nothing since late June, AAPL since early August. Aside from gyrating do you consider this sideways movement the equivalent of a re-valuation? Would you recommend buying companies such as these, that also have good recent earnings reports and outlooks? And can you comment on these two specifically? If you can add any other names to this list I would appreciate it. Thank-you.

Q: Trying to understand the reaction to SHOP's apparently good results. Understand the overall market sentiment is weak. The range of views of analysts are all over the map. Some have buys with high target prices, some have hold with average prices and this afternoon Merrill came out with sell and a low price. Most of these analysts have rating records in the top 10% of all analysts (according to TD). Can you shed some light? How would 5I rate the stock?

Q: In the answer you gave a member today about SHOP, you say: "Growth is solid, for sure, and it has done most things right, but many investors will balk at paying 35X sales for a stock.” In the company profile of SHOP, we see a Price to Sales of 66.28 (as of today). Are you referring to the same ratio? If yes, which of 35 or 66 is the correct number? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Hi,
I hold SHOP. Recent write ups on the company reflects a very pessimistic view towards the stock based on valuation and its future growth.

I agree with the thesis that it’s worth paying more for good companies that are growing.

What is your view on SHOP as a growth stock for now and the future, 3-5 years .

Thanks,

Q: I see that ARK invest is selling some of their holdings of SE. I currently own a small portion of SE. Do you see any immediate risk? Is it still a good stock to hold today?
Also I have a little bit of SHOP. How is SE compared to SHOP? Should I keep both or get rid of one of them? or should I even sell my SE/SHOP and get AMZN? Thanks a lot

Q: Good morning 5i,
I notice that you give lists of stocks. So, I will ask a similar question but perhaps more difficult. If one were interested in building a socially responsible portfolio, I hear that 15 to 20 stocks would do, what would you choose, given the need for domestic, US and International?
thanks
