Q: Myself and my 21 yo daughter have been building a balanced portfolio following your recommendations. Thanks to your service this has been an incredible learning experience for her and profitable to boot! Right now we are trying to decide between PINS NVDA and AMZN to add to her TFSA (We are also adding TT at this time and are balanced across market sectors). Just wonder which you would prefer at this time for potential long long term growth.

Q: Hi 5i,
In a US dollar account (non-reg) I have about 1.25% of my overall portfolio sitting in cash.
My approach with this account is to buy stocks that I don't have to sell for a long period of time and therefore have capital gains.

In my overall portfolio I already own Alphabet (4%),Apple (4%), Amazon (2.5%), Disney (2%), Facebook (1.5%), Microsoft (2.5%), Paypal (0.5%), Tesla (7% soon to be trimmed) Visa (4%).
Given what I already own (and that I would like a stock that is a long term 5-10 year hold) would you add to anything from the above list? Or would you invest in something else such as Costco or Pinterest?

A suggested order of preference would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Q: Happy New Year 5i,
A question was asked on Jan 04 which I will expand on. Can you rank the following in order to purchase for a 1-3 year hold at a minimum.
AT, XBC, U, FSLY, TTD, PINS, ABNB, CRWD, CRM, WDAY, SNOW, ZM, DOCU
Many of the stocks are in a consolidation period after a sharp rise this year. Of the list, which 5 stocks would be considered a higher risk that they have not bottomed out or a correction may yet be due?

Thank you for your great service.
Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: I am concerned about 30% of my holdings being in IT and would like to reduce perhaps by half and cover some other sectors for balance. (Just read your year-end article about predicting 2021 - perhaps you would not be concerned about 30% going forward)
What order might you trim / sell these to raise cash?
Much thanks for steering us through a year full of uncertainty.

Q: Do you subscribe to the theory that it is good to wait for lockup periods to pass before buying shares in a new public company? I’ve listed a few newer stocks - do you happen to have the lockup period dates for these? Any other notable ones?

Q: Finished reading the book 100 Baggers and it was a great read. Good to know lots of companies achieved these level of returns. You just have to find a few and hold on.

One of the book suggestion is to focus on smaller market cap companies which can grow over time among other metrics. Looking at some of the recent IPO that came to market with 20B+ market cap and SNOW hitting 100B makes you wonder if some of these newer IPO's can get you 100 Baggers returns.

My questions are as follows:
Do you see market cap playing less of a role going forward and investors will just pay up for growth? Maybe instead of putting 10K in the stock you may have to invest 20-30K to get that capital to compound to 1M without having a 100 bagger.

Finally, just for fun if you were to guess at a few name in the US or Canada that has 100 bagger potential what would they be? I see SHOP, TTD and WELL as having a shot.

Thanks
