Q: Hi 5i! I'm a middle-aged subscriber that has picked up some of the 5i researched companies - most recently Kinaxis and BNS. I'm slightly overweight Kinaxis and Shopify since I see them as potential growth engines. KXS, TOY, NVDA, SHOP, FB, and BNS are all in my non-reg account. If I need cash this year for personal projects, which companies might you recommend I start selling? Thanks!

Please deduct credit as you feel appropriate.
Thank you.

Q: I have some US funds I'd like to put to work in one or two of the mentioned names taking them from a half weight to a full 5% position. Regardless of sector weightings, which 2 do you like the most at current market valuations for capital appreciation over the next 5 to 8 years in a growth oriented portfolio? Thanks!

Q: Internal Damage?

When companies go through a major drop from their 52 week high (TSGI -60%, SIS -41%, GRUB-51%, NVDA-53%, KXS-35%) What kind of internal damage is created? I'm thinking employee moral, to stock options, to the ability to finance future growth? Other items? It's very tempting to continue to average down (although my dry powder is getting low) but when a company loses 40%-50% of it's value is it the same company anymore? Or is buying something like a Microsoft (down only 11%) a more prudent investment? (i.e. it hasn't breached a point of internal damage)

My holding period is very long, but I'm wondering if the current steep discounts currently are somewhat false illusions...

Q: I am trying to consolidate my U.S. TFSA into ETF's. On the tech side I own AMZN( nice profit) NVDA ( down 38%) and SPOT (down 4%) I am thinking of selling them and buying QQQ ETF instead.
On the financial side I own JPM (down 2.7%) V (down 1%) and SQ (down 6%) Thinking of selling these and buying DGRO ETF.
Your thoughts on this? Also if there are other ETF's that you think would be better for tech and financials, please let me know. Please deduct two credits if you deem it necessary.
Thanks for your great advice,
Jen

Q: Crypto mining has driven NVDA's stock price for some years now, but its currencies' decline will surely take a heavy toll on GPU sales into that market. Yes, AI and autonomous vehicle applications could expand, and consumers will continue to play video games, but are these enough to create actual earnings growth, or is NVDA more likely to tread water for a few years?

Q: I have a question about Nvidia. Tough to see it down on an up day (Nov 21) for the nasdaq. Not that I know much about Zacks but I see they have a "strong sell" on it today (not clear to me if their opinion is new today though). Are you still strong on Nvidia or would you suggest a U.S. replacement? Thanks.

Q: Looking at the US market for a 2-3 year horizon. Like TSG, SMSEY, XLK, NVDA and TEAM do you see any problem with taking full positions now and what 2-3 additions would you make and or remove.

Thank-you as always for your insight.

Q: I can see that I was one of many concerned about Nvidia's reporting later that day. Peter wrote in on Nov. 15 in the morning asking about analyst's expectations on Nvidia's numbers. You told him it was 1.92 EPS and 3.2B for revenue. These numbers didn't mean anything to me. I hope the next time you can elaborate such as these numbers don't look good or they do look good, etc.. Or when companies that 5i clients own and they have a possible bad number reporting, you could make note of that ahead of time. Thank you Dennis
