Q: I started following the 5i balanced equity portfolio in my LIRA a couple of months ago, but to change it up I am thinking about taking a 5% portfolio position in one of these companies. I have a 25-year investment time horizon for my LIRA. If I wanted to replace one of the 5i balanced equity portfolio funds with one of SHOP, APPL, TSLA, GOOG or AMZN, what would you recommend (both the one I would sell and the one to replace it with)?

Q: Happy New Year Peter and 5i team,
I was thinking of adding Google to my Canadian funds TFSA. It was a recent top pick by two well known analysts on market call. They said that the company is attractively valued, has good growth potential, and good cloud business potential with growing revenues. Do you agree?
What are the consequences of holding a US stock in a can funds TFSA? Is it better to hold in an open account?
Thank you for your opinion

Q: I've been active in DIY investing for 7 years. Have chosen only CDN listed stocks and, with 5i's help, have been reasonably satisfied with returns over that period. However, despite my stubborn resistance to the US, I cannot continue to ignore that market. So I have 5 forced-choice questions for you. I will invest in 5 of the 11 listed. I'd like your opinion about which one in each group to invest. These are LT holds (5+ years). I'm not expecting a detailed rationale, but would appreciate knowing if your preferences are strong. Or not. Thanks!

Q: Google is trading close to January 2018 levels. Amazon is above March 2018 values but not dramatically. How much better are these companies then 20 and 17 months ago respectively on key metrics?
Are they as good a bet as you are going to get to beat the S&P 500 over the next 5 to 10 years? (I know a lot can happen over that time frame, but that is the same with every company)

Q: Good morning 5i

These two stocks are over the percentage limit in my portfolio. I am thinking about lightening up on one of these. Thought I would ask for your input. I notice in the most recent comments on google you say that you see no reason to sell and that you have a very positive view of it. Broker recommendations seem to have higher expectations for google and hold recommendations for csu at the moment. I am learning towards selling csu. There are no other considerations other which might be the best to hold and the best to sell, at this moment.
Thanks as always for the great service
