Q: What do you think of twilio's downside from here? Is it a company that that you like once the tech market's calm down. Where do you think the long term upside potential for this company is? What are the pros and cons of this stock, concerning the market they are in and where they rank in it, the financial ratios, insider buying/selling ? Would you consider it a buy, hold or sell at this time? Is this and will this be a dominant player? Thanks

Q: Portfolio Analysis is suggesting I need more Tech and was going to purchase more in my RRSP. Right now I have a full position in KXS,ET and ABST. Half position in LSPD,APPS, AT, MSFT and ENGH. Quarter position in TOI and CSU. I was looking to add SYZ or any other stock you think. Maybe add to my 1/2 or 1/4 positions. Is there any overlap within this sector. Looking for some stability and some growth.

Thanks Greg

Q: Good day. A little over 1 year ago I allocated about 5% of my portfolio to the high growth/risk stocks. Needles to stay it hasn't worked out as expected. At this stage I am hoping that you can give me insight what the future holds for these companies as an investment. Which should be sold and subsequently move the funds moved into the keepers.
Deduct as many credits as you feel appropriate.
Much appreciated

Q: At almost 69, moving from High Growth/Risk to High Dividends. Would very much appreciate your comments on these 3. Is the 27.7% Yield on SBLK safe?????
Which would be better. Also, any W/H Tax implications in a Registered/Non-Reg account? Thanks so much!

Q: I’m interested in a US bond fund that pays some dividends.

Vanguard has some funds, VFIDX & VICSX that pay 2%+ and appear to suit the bill.

Have you any recommendations in this area?
Is there any reason to stay out of this sector?
What do you forecast the near future, say 3-5 years, to be in US bond funds valuations?

Q: Hello 5i,
Please include the payout ratio in the DIVIDEND section of company information. Payout ration using net income forACOX is 95%. Using operating income it is 11%. Is this correct? There seems to be quite a large discrepancy between the two.

Q: Happy Family Day to everyone at 5i! I am a firm believer that technology is our way in the future and holds great potential for growth. From all the research that you have done, which two technology stocks, either US or Canadian hold the greatest potential for future growth and why. Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide the names of some beaten down stocks that have a decent chance of recovery over the next year or two. This is a relatively short timeline but I'm looking for companies that still have a good balance sheet, are well managed, have good prospects, and yet have still been caught in the downdraft along with the negative market sentiment. Any sector and any market cap but with a focus on small to mid-cap. Thank you.

Q: Based on todays prices, which of the beaten up tech is the "best" (most likely to do well moving forward, best monopoly / moat safety, most safe earnings, best books today, best P/E) to buy for a long term hold (over ten years)?

qualifying them on the above characteristics would be appreciated or any other variable that you feel is important.

If my list missed any other tech considerations, please let me know.

thanks

Ernie
