Q: Hi Team! As more more and more people are working from home, cloud based software companies, cyber security companies will benefit as I think this will become a new reality as companies realize they can save money. In Internet communication and hardware companies out there that will see an increase of their services and products are there any names you would recommend? I thank you in advance. Sam

Q: I asked you about the earnings on xlnx yesterday and I see the questions and answers today on this company.

I have a somewhat significant loss after today as I’m into it around $130 per share on 3,000 shares but fortunately I have gains in Veev and Five that outweigh the loss on xlnx. I tend to hate owing anything at a loss as I lack patience and I worry about a turning of momentum. I don’t know whether to do nothing or sell one or more of my other holdings and go home with a profit and my tail between my legs. May I please get your advice? Thanks I’m advance.

Q: Hi Peter,

I'd like your opinion of these US stocks based on the data available to you.

Could you name three other high-growth US stocks that pique your interest at current levels?

Q: Hi 5I,
I am retired and living off my RIF. With the current volatility and market downturn, I am thinking of getting more defensive. My current holdings of ZWC, VVL, VUN and VEE are each about 8% of my RIF. I am thinking of switching ZWC for ZLB, switching VVL for VVO, switching VUN for VGG and switching VEE for VXC. What do you think of this strategy? Should I hold some and do nothing? Please explain your reasoning.
Thanks for your help and have a happy holiday season.
Dick

Q: Good Morning Team,

I have a question and a suggestion:

Will you be able to tell us why VEEV with its lofty valuation continues to hit new highs almost every day? Is this in anticipation of a good result prior to the Q release? Would you be a buyer at these levels for long-term hold?

Now, I know this is a US company and here is my suggestion: Why would you not officially cover US companies and include in your response whether or not you own the company? 5i members know that you trade in the US and you do not cover US companies because you wish to remain conflict free. Well if you include this extra piece of information, then it will be up to the members to take your partial response or not. I for one would still want to ask you what you think despite your possible conflict of interest. And given the dismal situation of TSX, I am more and more trading in the US. I know that you have built enough trust among 5i members that if you take my suggestion, you will be opening the flood gates. I hope you look into this suggestion seriously, regardless.

Thank you for your consideration.
