Q: Hi Team,
So; another brutal day for tech. My portfolio is tech loaded with many of 5i favourites. At this point my portfolio is down 18% from October’s highs. Whats your sense on what to do going forward? Hold the line and wait for a hopeful recovery? Add to highest conviction names that are down big? Or sell off some of these holdings and attempt to diversify into metals or something that has moment? My strategy in 2022 was to add to quality such as nvda and shop which paid off well, but now I am quickly almost in the same boat again it seems as 2022 sell off being Csu family heavy , shop , Rddt, gsy , Prl , Srad, Geni , Nvda to name a few weak performing holdings as of late . And standout buys today that are sticking out to you?

Thanks for the advice ,

Shane

Q: Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I'm kind of a deer stuck in headlights right now with regards to these software names, notably CUS, LMN, TOI, and with the news impacting TRI this morning. I've largely held onto these names and I'm not sure what to do here. Seeing constant and relentless daily selling is tough to stomach and time will only tell how much AI will impact these companies fundamentals.

In the meantime, what do I do? I don't want to hold onto losers and continue to see these go down further, at the same time, I don't want to sell at these lows. I know trimming some is an option. I have positions in these other names, do you feel any of these are vulnerable to AI severely impacting them? CRWD, SHOP, SRAD, GENI, SPOT

Thanks!

Q: Patience is wearing thin on some of these names, they just continue to have negative momentum and I don't want to sell into the negativity and sell just because others are selling. What are your thoughts? Are fundamentals still strong in these quality companies? Is your updated view still a hold on these? Thanks!
