Q: Do you expect Acuity Ad's earnings to be vulnerable to Apple's recent privacy changes? Still good to ride out the recent dip with a long term growth goal?

Q: Hello. A forced choice request. I have been tracking these 6 captionally noted US stocks for some time. At the moment I have capital to invest in three new positions. My interest is in growth, and I'm planning to hold for min 5 to max 10 years. Clearly, I'm an investor and not a trader. From this list, which 3 stocks would you anticipate might hold the best prospects for continued growth over that time span. Thanks!

Q: Good morning again, I just sent the beginning of a question and inadvertently sent it before I finished!
Here it is , hopefully in its entirety,
I am building a long term portfolio, 10 plus years, and would like to add 2 or 3 Large US Technology stocks. I am looking at AAPL , GOOG AMZN and MSFT , I already have NVDA and are not interested in FB. Any thoughts on the above, which order would you suggest buying them in, and are there any others I should consider? Also can you explain the difference between GOOG and GOOGL Thank you

Q: Which of the 5i favoured tech stocks often hi-lighted on the Q&A pages (e.g. LSPD, NVEI, AFRM, GOOG) will likely see a significant short-term hit with rising interest rates to combat inflation and any that might be immune?

Q: Hi,
So at this point do we just assume SNAP is technically 'broken' for now? Better to salvage some capital and move on to a better opportunity? My guess is this earnings miss and selling on heavy volume would indicate a long road ahead to repair the current technical damage - but I would appreciate your thoughts on whether to hold or sell SNAP.
Thanks!

Q: Good morning!

I hold a 1/2 position in Magna. I do believe in this stock longterm. With the shortages and things appearing to be priced in. Is it time to top up to a full position?

On a separate question what are your highest conviction growth pics in TECH for the 4Q.
Preferably US but can spribkle some Canadian names as well.

Thank you for the amazing input and service. It's been immeasurable.

Q: Hi 5i,
Back to PINS and PYPL again. Given SNAP’s lower earnings and Apple’s new privacy settings making it more difficult for advertisers on SNAP, would you expect PINS’ upcoming earnings to show a similar problem? If so, would PYPL have signed some form of NDA with PINS so that they would have knowledge of PINS’ upcoming earnings and any Apple privacy impacts?
Thanks again.

Q: I have had very good returns with both and would like to take some profits off both and buy either tropicus or one semi- conductor position. Which semiconductor stock would you suggest? For 3/5 years. Thank you!
Read Answer Asked by Jacques on October 22, 2021
Q: Hi 5i Team - Are there any Canadian companies in the semi-conductor space that would be of interest to you, including start-up companies, suppliers of materials, and any potential companies on the horizon. I sold my shares in Photon Control some time ago and am looking for some kind of replacement on the Canadian side. If the U.S. is the only way to go in this field could you please suggest a couple of top picks. l already have Nvidia. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5iTeam,

I realize that it was up a lot earlier this year - unfortunately I bought it after that ride was over. Do you have any thoughts as to why it hasn't been performing since June even on good days in the market? It also seems to be a low vol stock without much interest. I am waiting to see what happens on their earnings but I fear that the results may lead to a further dump. Thank you for your time and comments as always.

Q: Hi 5i,
What are your thoughts on the rumoured, from several sources, PYPL bid for PINS at around $70 a share? It seems like a lowball bid. Not much of a premium and not even close to taking out the yearly high of PINS. On what metric would you evaluate this bid and how does it compare to peer group acquisitions in the past couple of years? How do you see this playing out in the market? Other potential bidders?
Thanks again.
Dave
