Q: Hello: I sold BABA and cut TCEHY holdings in half last week in a bit of a panic and would now like to know of any US stocks you might suggest to replace these two. I already own GOOGLE.
Thanks. Lesley

Q: Hi 5i
I greatly appreciate and follow your US recommendations. My LIF has suffered serious losses and I wound like to build it back up with one of these US holdings or another you could suggest for a 2-3 year period. If all are suitable, please list in order of preference based on growth over risk.
Thanks

Q: Could I have your outlook on CGI for a 2 year timeframe please.

I was planning to sell the position in a couple of years when I am retired and in a lower tax bracket. I am now wondering if I should take the tax hit, and buy something with a dividend and more growth like MSFT.

Thanks!

Q: Prof Galloway (pivot/section4/etc) talks a lot about unregulated monopolies, are there any companies that you would recommend (outside of the traditional faang names) that might be able to grow into this category? (canada or us)

Q: In response to the question by Satish, your suggestion was to look at tech growth stocks for a faster recovery. I had been considering TTD, NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL ,AMZN, COST and UTX before the correction; waiting for pullback. While UTX and COST have held up the others have dropped by varying degrees.
Could you please suggest your order of preference to buy in this volatile period.
As always, value your opinion.
Regards

Q: Looking to increase my American technology positions. I'm interested in taking a position in Adobe. What do you think the future holds for this company, short term, (1 year) and long term (5 years). I'm trying to decide between ADBE and MSFT. Which do you think is the best investment or would you buy both? Would they complement each other? Are there other U.S. tech. companies you like as well or better?

Q: I feel I am over exposed in the Canadian Financial sector with TD and BNS making up 9% and 11% of my portfolio respectively. I also hold 20% VRGO. I wish to sell one bank and increase some of my US equity positions such as MA, V, CRM, MSFT, AMZN for more growth and capital gains. Long term outlook is 5+ years. Does this plan sound reasonable in regards to timing and outlook, and which bank would you prefer to hold?

Q: Hello 5I; Microsoft has had a very successful run; it is hard to argue with success but some commentators on BNN have suggested it has now reached a bit of a top and will not continue to rise. Other BNN commentators have pointed to CVS as being good value and past their problems. I am thinking of a switch. Can you analyze the prospects for these two and provide your thoughts on this idea. Thanks for your excellent service.
