Q: Hi,
I am interested in your thoughts on these companies. EXAS and CRSP are a part of the recently fast moving ARKG ETF but both seem to offer products that would appear to offer continued growth. Would that be correct? The other two, VEEV and SGEN have been struggling price wise lately, SGEN is starting to see improvement, do you think VEEV still has good potential into the next year or two? I've also noticed more comments on Unity Software, but do not know much about it and it isn't listed in your data base. Take as many points as you need, as I'm asking multiple questions. Thanks for all your insight and suggestions, all very much appreciated!

Q: The average P/E of my stock and ETF portfolio (63) reflects the tech/momentum binge I've been on since Spring 2020. I'm considerably overweight in tech yet I'm finding it difficult to jettison or trim any of my names in that sector. Can you please help by identifying 5 of these that you're less bullish on compared to the others? I have a reasonably long investment horizon and good risk tolerance (5 yrs until my children's post-secondary education and ~20 until retirement). Thanks again.

Q: Hello,
Regarding American companies, I am seeking recommendations for 2 long term hold positions. I have quite a high risk tolerance and prefer companies with a lot of room to grow. My current portfolio has relied heavily on FANG stocks and I am interested in consolidating those positions and redistributing to riskier but potentially more rewarding companies with good fundamentals.
Your insight is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Of the stocks hitting recent 52 week highs, which 5-10 stocks do you have the most conviction in going forward?
If possible, could you list 5 Canadian and 5 American exchange stocks?
As they say, a stock that hits a 52 week high is likely to continue its ascension.

Cheers....

Q: My online account with iTrade when I prepare to place an order their analyzing team when I checked out PLTR and U are rated by Thomson Reuter as negative by CFRA as a strong sell and R.T. Research as a sell, myself I bought both stocks because I have noticed in the past some of their sells were some of the better performers out there. Is this the case with all these online online brokerage accounts?
MOGO and MGRO are on fire but I haven't looked at iTrade's analyzing team. It is late in the day. It probably will be negative with them. So I ask the #1 analyzing team in the country 5i Research this question and opinion of the two I have not checked yet.

Q: Good afternoon, 3 questions...
Could you please give me your thoughts (after one public quarter) on Jfrog for a long term hold for growth?

There are lots of great new companies out there and only 1 public quarter for them. How would you rank the top ten “tech” stocks that had a IPO in 2020?

Your new USA fund forgive me if this is elsewhere but does this affect your answers or ability to answer any USA stock questions or does it not impact the current/past services? As I find your USA recommendations to be extremely valuable as a Canadian investor.

Thank you!

Q: Hi,
I am trying to look at the stocks I own , not merely as 'stocks" but rather as an investment in a good business. When I look at it that why, I am inclined not to sell indiscriminately irrespective if the stocks have gone up or not. Generally, if I do sell, I realize that I had made a terrible mistake in doing so, after the fact.
To my limited knowledge I do look to 5i for guidance.
Would you consider the stocks I have listed , to be those that represent "good businesses" and that are worth holding even 5 or 10 years out?

Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i,
I am wondering if you think it is still reasonable to be selling covered calls and puts on tech stocks? Are the work from home stocks going to be declining because of the announcement of vacine? If you thing that is still a profitable avenue what stocks might you suggest these days for this strategy. Thanks for your help and all the best on your new venture.

Q: I already own shares in all of these companies but I'm thinking of selling my MSFT due to a decent % held in also owned ETFs but also that I don't think it has as much growth in the next 1-2 years relative to the others. Thus I'm thinking of selling my MFST and putting the $ equally into the other three.

Am I correct in thinking there is more potential growth in U, NVDA and GOOG than in MSFT?
