Do you consider STNE cheap at the present level ?

Thanks

Q: Hi Team;
My question is whether to keep on holding baba or not . It is held in a US cash account so selling would incure a 53% loss as of today. The reason I ask today is that there have been many quality names that have sold off a lot . Just wondering if a switch into a different , more convincing beat down name might be a good move at this point. Ideally I would like as much recovery upside as baba potentially would have in order to try to recover my losses. Which essentially would mean a double from here.
Any names you would endorse switching to that might potentially meet this criteria ? Or do I keep patience and hold. I am a long term investor typically (10yr timeframe or more before retirement ). Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,
When designing a portfolio about a year ago I made sure to have exposure in Emerging Markets as I was underweight in foreign equities. With Chinese equities under pressure does one just continue to hold these equities in order to have a diversified portfolio and ride the ups and downs if one is a long term investor? Your insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on BABA as an entry point at this time. And if not now, what price would you find attractive? Thank you.

Q: Do you have any suggestions on a good Canadian dollar ETF in Chinese internet stocks?

Q: Can you please comment on StoneCo results. Absolutely horrific stock price movement. What has me perplexed is how the big money has invested in this(ie- Berkshire etc..), are they expecting long term upside? If you owned $50 average would you cut bait and move on or ride out long term?

Q: Good morning. I have VALE in my registered account, with a much lower value than cost. It does pay a substantial dividend and I am aware that it also has cash. Is it reasonably safe to hold since materials are doing fairly well generally? Should I consider reducing my position or selling? Is it safe to hold with its high dividend at this time?

Q: I am thinking about starting a position in BYD because of its battery technology and EV focus. Which ticker to buy? You only list BYDDF which is the OTC ticker. There is also the ADR ticker BYDDY which is said to have greater liquidity. Also hat is opinion of this company?

Q: Hi 5i,
For the equity part of my portfolio I'm looking to diversify internationally. As a percentage of my total equity portfolio I'm thinking 4%VXUS 2%DLS and 2%DIM. Is 8% international stocks a reasonable number for a conservative investor and is there maybe a better way to adjust the percentages? The equity portfolio will be rebalanced yearly. The bonds and cash part of the portfolio have not been included this is strictly equity.
Thanks

Q: Your general impression of this company. With all the publicity surrounding ransomware it is a sector I wish to be exposed to. Thanks.

Q: I have a small position in a British company (Avon Protection) which supplies body armour to the US military. The shares crashed over 40% today on a profit warning. Useful to have a second opinion from some pros. Buy sell or hold?

Q: Hello Team,
Could you give me an analysis on this company and it's growth prospects going forward.
Thank You,
Barry

Q: Why does bhp have a 13.6% dividend? Does this indicate a sign of caution as the dividend may be too high and a sign of weakness? Would this be an equity that presents high risk? Would you buy?

Q: Hi,

What would be the implications of China waging a war on Taiwan on the markets..US and others may jump in too ..Chinese seem to stocking up groceries and other essentials..
Do you think slide due to Chinese real estate and the country’s policy to tech companies likely to continue and what sectors do you think will be most affected. Thanks for your insight.

Q: Save for its operating in Brasil, EBR seems, on the face of it, to have reasonably good prospects. However, what is the true status of the dividend and do you believe the debt level is reasonable? Thanks!

Q: With the recent drop in price, would you consider BHP an ideal opportunity to take advantage of tax loss selling over the next few weeks? Do you still think the dividend payout is reasonably safe? I have not seen the "each representing two" statement before... pls. explain! I am 84 and wanting to add to my income portfolio.
