Q: When the price of oil tanked, a few fund managers pounded the table. Now that tech is sputtering significantly, do you see multiples of today's prices in the next 18 months?
Specifically, Nvidia, Lightspeed, Topics, Shopify, Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, etc.
Is now the time or once the gut-wrenching war subsides or would you stay away?
Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,
I am a value invester with a mix of equities and ETF's. I have done well with VGT and am up $8,000. As I look for dividends I am looking to sell VGT and buy ZWT. Also exchanging XHYy for ZWH, XTR for ZWC and VE for ZWE. Some are underwater but not by much. $75,000 is involved altogether with these exchanges. Do these changes make sense or should I just leave things as they are. The difference in dividends is nice to have (an extra $300 or more a month) but not really needed.

Q: Hi Folks,
I am in the process of tweaking my portfolios in case we have a recession or we go into a bear market. I am thinking of selling CTC.A MCD and WSP and buying COST, DOL, L and adding to ATD. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Q: Hi Team

I have a question regarding 2 companies, thnk is trading at multi tear lows, it started as a qt and I am sceptic of these types, imho, insiders get a ton of cheap shares when they bring it to market. The other one is byl, they are both part of the e-commerce of things and there has been a lot of hype in these companies in the last couple of years, kinda like the latest greatest.......both have been picks on bnn a couple of times by one of their guests, every time he picks then the stocks jump on high volume and then settle down a few days latter. What do you think of these 2, worth a crap shoot.
Thanks for your research

Q: I have been following KUT for some time and am wondering if now is the time to pull the trigger and buy some for my small cap portfolio. Yesterday's results appear very good to me - EBIDTA up 55% and Revenues up 42% YOY (52% constant currency).....how do these results compare to expectations and any reason you can see for the weakness (albeit on very small volume) after the Q announcement?

Could you also comment on TCL.A's continued weakness and if it is worth holding in my income portfolio. The dividend is nice and I don't mind holding if its safe and there is a reasonable expectation that the stock will be higher in 3-5 years.

Thanks for the support and all the great insights over the years

Q: We have new money to invest and would like to use it to correct our only significant sector weighting imbalance, which is in technology. The sector is currently represented by CSU, DSG, KXS and SHOP, where all but CSU are down.

5i has often stressed the importance of both maintaining target sector weights and not leaving too much cash idle. Now we find ourselves with the technology sector struggling and would like some guidance on how to proceed.

For the existing positions, which are long term holds, would you be inclined to spread out the additional investments over the medium term, say the next 6-12 months, or would you tend to be more aggressive, investing in the shorter term?

How would you rate (1-10) CSU, DSG, KXS and SHOP for additional money today?

If we were to initiate long term positions in TOI, TIXT, NVEI and LSPD today, how would you rate them?

Once again, a big thanks to you all at 5i! We've just renewed our membership after a first year. We only wish we'd known of your service earlier!

Q: I own the above three stocks in my TFSA and I'm down considerably on all so wondering at this point if you would bring any of them back to original weighting, sell or hold with a short reason why. Medium to high risk, long term growth investor.

Thanks in advance. Please deduct credits as you see fit.

Q: Hello,

I own the whole list (weights 1% to 2%) thinking I was being diversified but maybe went too far.

1) I am on the right track to reduce to about 3 names?
2) Which names optimise income?
3) Alternative names that I might have missed?

Many thanks!
