Funds are in USD so the plan is to invest in US stocks and currently plan to invest $15,000 to $50,000 USD. I am considering MSFT , NVDA and V. Your comments / recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi All at 5i! Hope you are enjoying the summer! I was wondering if you could recommend a book ( or other source) on investing for a total novice. A friend of my son has started on his working career and has accumulated some money. He has no knowledge of investing and would like to start learning about the topic. I recommended 5i to him, and he is considering joining after he has a rudimentary understanding of the world of investing. Hope you can help . Cheers, Tamara

Q: Could you perhaps give me any information regarding this US fund. Its a very small portion of my portfolio. It has made great returns for me since it goobled up a previous fund I was in, in 2017. The dividend is 16.81%. The stock drops of course every time it pays out. Two things I notice as potential trouble. In 2012 it did a 1/4 split? And how problematic are rising interest rate environment for this fund. Thanks......many thanks your information has made me very happy.

Q: Johnson and Johnson is a highly rated company. However they are facing a large number of law suits, mostly related to talcum powder. Although the scientific basis for these lawsuits is extremely weak, I am concerned about the legal system in the USA. Would you recommend I keep holding my JNJ shares or sell and invest in something else in the USA? Diversification is not an issue.
