Q: I'm a little concerned about the trade tension, possible 2nd wave of the virus, protesting, economic risk, etc.
Do you think we need to do something in case the market crash?
Currently I hold the above 4 stocks plus 20% cash. Are they safe? Any other stocks that you recommend?
Thanks!

Q: Hello there,
I have some funds to invest in the next week or so and I'm looking at LSPD and REAL. Originally I was going to buy LSPD only, looking to hold for at least the next 5 years +.
I have been watching REAL and its growth is looking strong over the next few years as well. Would you split the money between the two or would you lean toward one more than the other? Looking for max growth and risk not really a concern.
thanks

Q: Can you give me names of 10 companies - CDN and U.S - that you feel have:
* strong balance sheets,
* a strong likelihood to survive or thrive in the current environment
* appear to be of good current value with an eye on a potentially strong rebound given a bit of time.
Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: I'm looking to convert a RESP invested in mutual fund (chorus II agressive growth) to lower fees and menage it more actively. Kids are 5 and 2 years old.

I was thinking to diversify with 3 or 4 ETF for 70% of this portfolio. What are your thoughts about a combinaison of VFV, XIC, XIT, ZQQ and DXG for long term? Do you have better suggestions?

Althought, is investing in XIT and ZQQ and DXG a good idea on short term since tech valuation is already high at this moment compared to other sectors?

For the rest of portfolio (30%), i would go with stocks. What would be your top 4 on short term (next 6-12 months) and on long term?

Q: Hey team,

I seem to recall this theme being addressed as it pertains to Shopify but after listening to the PayPal CEO on Mad Money last night I Have to wonder if LSPD would not be a nice add for Paypal? It sounds like they really want to get more directly involved with retail/restaurants and POS to expand how people use their service. Could you foresee this happening and would you consider PYPL a buy today? Their CEO came across well.

Q: Hi 5i,
I have half positions in: KXS, DSG, LSPD, DOCU and full positions in MSFT and NVDA. Do you attribute the current sell off in tech names to profit taking and sector rotation (possibly to financials)? Of my four half positions; which two names do you think would be the best to add more shortly in this selloff for a long term perspective?
Thank you!
Terry

Q: Hello Peter,
Is Well health technologies taking a hit due to the financing that was lower than the current price? If so, is it a good time to add to it.. Why are companies like fortis and other utilities and telecoms taking a hit . I thought lower rates would favour utilities and with work from home, companies like BCE would benefit as more people use the network. Lastly, do you feel it is time to add to LSPD or take a break given recent surge.. thanks very much

Q: Hello Team,

I was hoping to get your opinion and tickers on the next upcoming Canadian "darlings".

I know you are very favourable of LSPD.

Would you be able to provide few more of those companies: the ones that have huge potential despite the current risk,

Thank you very much

Q: I sold LSPD yesterday after more than doubling up and was quite pleased with the $29.50 number until I saw that it has closed at $34. I want to be a long term owner an my thinking was that it would drift down from my sale price as reality sets in over the coming months. I am well aware that this is why 5i does not advocate this sort of trading and trying to time things but my question now is whether you think it settles down a few dollars or follows Shopify to the moon? My opinion with all of the fear created by our media is that restaurant business will be slower even once they are allowed to open fully. Q: Does a guy wanting to own long term bite the bullet and get back in now or roll the dice and wait? Thoughts?
