Q: Hi 5i
Shopify share price has had quite an increase since yesterday....can you provide some insight as to what is driving this?

I get concerned with sudden increase in a shares price, if i do not understand the reason why.....

Would you continue to hold for 2yr -3 yr period ? Road bumps ahead?
Thx

Q: Do you have any concerns about the antitrust chatter and the new FTC appointment? Specifically for google Facebook Amazon and Apple. Breaking up Big Tech seems unlikely and would potentially unlock more value by selling off pieces of the companies (how much would Instagram be worth or AWS or YouTube)… but can any laws get passed that will really change the trajectory of these businesses the runway ahead of them still seems to be massive.

They all have so much cash and so much information about their customers and surely have the ability to pivot and skirt the new “rules”. I still view them as safe as any ETF out there with much better growth potential.

Q: I am planning to purchase equal amounts ($) of the above. Do you consider these companies do be reasonably safe investments over a 3-5 year period?
Would you suggest a replacement or deletion for any of these companies? I am over 80 and am hoping to have a reasonable return from this investment.
And hopefully I will still be around to spend the gains.

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!

Q: Hello, given the current US$ exchange rate and the loses still incurred on a handful of CDN stocks, I'd like to hear your thoughts on selling the decent dividend but significant double digit % loses to acquire more US$ and move it into GOOG & FB. Alternatively I have considered adding to VFV or starting a position in VGRO and leave it as CDN$. I am ~25% in USD of which I plan to use so I am not concerned with adding a few more points of USD. Thank you for your opinion.

Q: I have held CVS for approx. 6 months and virtually it is flat. There have been many recommendations from the street however I have 22,000.00 which seems to be dead money. Should I sell and buy some tech stock like Oracle or Taiwan semiconductor. Do you have a suggestion other than these 2?
Cheers, Doug

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,
Brent

Q: Hi 5i team,
My nephew turned 18 last year and has now 11K in his TFSA ready to invest.
What would be your suggestion (s). It can be a mix of CDN and USD stocks/ETFs.
Obviously, it would be several years before needing any of the money so some risk can be taken.
Thanks
