Q: Hi, At times like these when positions at companies like Shop and Nvda are eroded..when does it make sense to add? Should one wait until the interest rate cycle is over and wait for the tides to turn? What indications should you look out for for growth stocks to rebound? Thanks. Shyam

Q: Hi 5I gang

I just want to confirm that thru this "risk on" period which will sustain for the foreseeable future, I am doing the correct thing by "holding" as opposed to "selling" these growth stocks.

Q: I have relatively small speculative positions in these three companies and I am considering adding to them to reach the 1% level each. They have appreciated in price nicely. May I have your opinion on these three stocks?
With appreciation,

Q: Could you rate these 3 companies for me best first and which would be best to add at this time. I believe they have all moved up recently and am wondering if I have missed the boat. Do you have an alternate choice? Should I add one position or 2 half positions.

Thanks again for your support and wisdom.

Q: Hello 5i Research Team,

David Berman's recent article in the Globe suggested that now may be a good time to buy beaten down stocks in the US home building industry (i.e. builders and suppliers). Would you agree? Either way, could you please rank the listed stocks for a 5-year hold for an investor with an above-average level of risk, and add any better names I've missed.

Thanks!

Q: The S&P 500 looks good in the current market and long term, with about 72% in the follow: big tech 26%, financials 14%, health care 13%, communication 10%, consumer defensive 6% and utilities 3%. 5i seems to prefer VFV, but its yield is listed at 1.12% on Yahoo and ZSP at 1.3%: is this because VFV has deducted the 15% withholding tax on US dividends? I assume the 15% would still be withheld in a registered account? Thanks!!

Q: I need to lighten up on techy/growth stocks and replace with more defensive/value names. Of this list, are there any you would sell? If not, and if I wanted to sell something anyway, in what order would you suggest selling? Thank you.

Q: For a very un-promotional Company, EcoSynthetix stock continues to climb now trading at 10-year highs with increasing daily volumes. With revenues rising, it seems the potential for their green adhesive products is real given they have commercial accounts with major companies. Your thoughts?

Q: Would like a current opinion on this mutual fund?
Is the fees worth the returns or would a global ETF perform better?
Greatly appreciate your opinion.

Q: Good morning,

Truly enjoy reading your reports and answers to queries asked by members!

In your response to Chris, on April 8th, you outline a starting strategy for a young 16 year old investor.

You state: "we might start out with a broad market ETF that pays a dividend"

Would you be comfortable listing a few broad market ETF that fit this criteria taking into account a 10 year lock up of the funds?

Perhaps suggesting a few for high, moderate and low risk tiers.

Have a great weekend!
