Q: Greetings All:
The only tech name I own is MSFT, and I should have added to this sector long ago. Would you please do a comparison between apple and facebook including the following metrics: Expected growth,volatility,fundamentals including strength of the balance sheet, cash on hand. Finally, your recommendation or perhaps other more favourable companies.
Thanks,
Ben.

Q: Hi. On the above six stocks, I am down today alone (Dec 28) more than 6% on half of them and down 4% on the other half. On a day when the 3 major markets are up. The question is, is this a theme of investors thinking these are stay at home stocks with a view to normality returning and therefore more downside on these type of stocks to come as the virus wanes, or more just tech, growth, high flier stocks having their usual ebbs and flows.

Q: I like companies that are based on a subscription model. With recurring revenues and growth "banking" on acquiring new customers, it would appear to be a path towards increased profitability and less risk. Aside from the obvious candidates, Netflix, Adobe, Crowdstrike, Microsoft and even Disney, can you identify a few companies in the US and in Canada that receive their revenue largely on subscriptions, that are not mega corporations already but exhibit strong growth.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Of the stocks hitting recent 52 week highs, which 5-10 stocks do you have the most conviction in going forward?
If possible, could you list 5 Canadian and 5 American exchange stocks?
As they say, a stock that hits a 52 week high is likely to continue its ascension.

Cheers....

Q: Hello, I have been holding Intel for more than 5 years now. According to what I read in the Q&A I believe the time has come to sell it and buy something else. Would that make sense to buy Roku to replace Intel? Another option would be either NVDA or QCOM? What would you do? Thank you, Gervais

Q: I own trade desk, roku, magnite and google (thank you all for great advice) that all popped due to a strong return to advertising. This coincided with the election results and it made me wonder if some of the pop would be a result of massive ad spending from the Republicans and Democrats? If so, would the end of that $ flow affect earnings in following quarters or is it minor or non-existent in the recent advertisement boost to these companies? Thanks as always. Brian
