Q: Hi,

I would like to trim down my tech holdings in my portfolio. How would you rank these overall in terms of long term growth considering valuation, size, risk, etc... I would like to reduce the holdings, add to TOI and balance out other sectors that are low such as energy and materials. Do you see any overlap in these holdings? Which could you see go here or consolidate? Thanks!

SHOP 5.25%, KXS 3.46%, LSPD 4.64%, CSU 3.06% , DOCU 1.01%, NVEI 0.96%, TIXT 1.17%, CRWD 1.41%, AMZN 0.76%, GOOG 1.78%, FB 0.97%

Q: Hello Folks:
No one can predict markets, however with the S&P and Dow close to records I would think upside less likely than downside.
Consequently we have sold Deere and Cat at good profit as their PE ratios make it difficult understanding where much upside can be achieved.

We have a 7% position with Amazon, In your view would you keep this position or sell one half on the basis of being able to replace at a much lower future downturn price, or would you leave it alone.

Do you feel because of these inflated PE ratios one should raise some cash for a future downturn?

I am always am aware of the old adage that one's stock portfolio is like a bar of soap; the more you rub it the smaller it gets.

Thanks again for your great service

Q: Hi, there is a lot of love for TDOC and it has grown quickly. I used to own it but sold, and am revisiting and researching the name. The main concern I have is reports that whales like Amazon and Wallmart, etc. are moving into the area of digital health. Amazon Care in particular, while currently a pilot project in Washington for Amazon employees, could expand if they see potential. Since TDOC is at a very high multiple to sales, I question the risk/reward here, can you please comment on your perspective? Would this risk also apply to WELL, which I own?

Q: Hello, Can you please list in order which one of these Titans would you recommend for a 10 year hold within a TFSA. Or, should all three be held, currently in my US TFSA I only hold COST. I have other investments like ETFs and stocks in my CDN TFSA for diversity.

Thanks,
Robbie

Q: I've got ~$20K coming into my RRSP. What 4-5 companies would 10 years from now me be really happy that current me invested in tomorrow? Not necessarily looking to find the next Shopify (although I wouldn't be upset if I did) but rather strong names that you have the most confidence in over the next 10 years.

Thanks

Q: Hi,
I own TDOC and there is much "noise" today about Amazon entering the telehealth space and its all doom and gloom for TDOC.
I thought this news was actually "old news" in the sense that we did anticipate this was going to happen.
In your opinion, does this move by Amazon fundamentally change anything for TDOC?
Thanks,

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I recently listened to "The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEO's". I quite enjoyed it. However, it was written almost 10 years ago; so I'm wondering who are the Outsiders for the next 10 years?

Thank you,
