Q: Hi,
I'm looking for 5 or so US companies who will recover very quickly once we hit bottom. My plan is to do a little gambling and buy long term calls.
Thanks for all the help over the years.

Q: At this time, which stock would be a better investment for a 3 to 5 year hold? I understand that both will be splitting in the near future. As well, if Google is the choice, would it be Goog.us or Googl.us that should be bought? Would you buy before the split or after? Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently own the above in my TFSA and non registered accounts as part of the "tech" sector - I would like your opinion as to whether you would add to any of them OR would this be a good entry point to buy CSU for some Canadian exposure.
Thanks

Q: Hi!
My question is around what to do with high growth, unprofitable technology companies that were once huge winners. If one has a small portion allocated to these companies, does it make sense to hold and one day things could turn and these stocks can gain again. There is so much talk to switch to value/cyclical/materials and that trade can last for a very long time. My guess is you favour diversification which I have, but of course wonder if these unprofitable tech names can go down another 50 percent and will they ever recover?? Which of the high growth unprofitable tech names would you be adding to or would you only add to profitable tech like Meta, Amazon, Google, etc...
Thank you!

Q: Given the increasing implied VOL in options, what are your favourite names in CAD and USD for covered call strategies?

Looking for stocks that you already like that have reasonably liquid options (I know harder in CAD) and you think have excellent bounce back potential and wouldn't mind owning for 2-3 years. Thanks

Q: What are there pros and cons of buying CDR’s on the NEO exchange ? Is it better to buy on the US exchange and accept the initial fees to move money to a US account ?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I would like to ask about the GOOG fractional shares traded on the NEO exchange.

Do you views these shares any differently than their underlying share?

How they would be treated in light of the upcoming split of the common shares?

Are these types of fractional shares subject to withholding taxes if held inside a TFSA?

Thanks for the great service!

Colin

Q: I’m trying to understand the core business proposition of Amazon as comments on earnings were how great its last quarter was. Their online retailing is very competitive and a valuable service. But not very lucrative.
The AWS part of their business is very profitable but it would seem that it’s an oligopoly at best and subject to possible margin reduction.
Do you have any thoughts on why it’s growth and margins going forward look so attractive?

Q: Has Amazon’s online retail segment ever made a profit? Will it ever given its never-stopping investment into the future? If no prospect of profit, what’s the point of keeping on investing into the segment? Do you like its retail model - owning and selling goods? Isn’t Alibaba’s model better by only providing online retail space? Thanks. Liping

Q: Hello Peter,
Why is suncor not participating to the same degree as others in the sector with surging oil prices? Would i be better off moving to another name and if so, which is a better buy? Also, what do you think of Amazon's results? The stock has not done much if looking at one year timeframe.. Given the potential rise in rates, is it better not to take full position in Amazon? Thanks.
