Q: I m 73 years old with God willing at least another 10 years left. My Lightspeed is down 70%,$11,000. leaving me with $4,530 in my TFSA. Can you see any timeline for a turn around or should I be sucking it up and putting it in something else? Was looking at LIFE-T as a safety measure but wondering if you have some other suggestions.
Thank you for what you do for us

Q: I added Descartes Systems on a pull back a few weeks back. I am surprised, but not concerned,, that it has been so volatile. After I bought a small position it quickly went up more than 10 per cent and this week I am back in the red. Is this type of movement normal for DSG? Has somehting changed at DSG or is just getting pushed up and down because it is part of a number of ETFs? I would like to add to the position but first I would like for 5i to let us members know if something has changed with DSG.

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: Good morning,
I want to harvest the tax loss on this one but don't want to miss the upside although the market reversal seems unlikely in the short term in this market. Thinking of LSPD as a temporary replacement or should I keep LSPD?
Thanks for everything!

Q: Hi 5i,

Looking for additional exposure in the semi-conductor market. I currently already have a 3% weighting in NVDA. I am looking to potential start a position in AMD or INTC.

Your previous answers to questions suggest you favour AMD (after NVDA) given the companies recent execution.

However, INTC seems to be turning a corner with there plans to build new plants in Arizona in the next few years and change in management. Based on its current valuation (cheap compared to AMD) the current tailwinds of 'on shoring' it seems to me a compelling buy compared to AMD.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate all you do.

Q: With this announcement what would you expect in terms of stock performance going forward if approved? Would you have concerns with this if you were an investor? Long term I believe this best of breed company will be fine but if the stock price will drop a fair bit I would rather add at lower levels. I feel like this is a pretty big dilution but what is your opinion? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Would appreciate you thoughts on GOOG growth for the next 5-10yrs.

Your past answers to questions state that you view this company's valuation as 'cheap' and its cloud services and Waymo as catalysts for greater growth.

However, I can't reconcile that against a potential recession scenario in the next few years were ad revenue could decrease and potential anti trust cases being brought against it.

Thank you,

Greg
