Q: 1)Please rank these companies in terms of long term growth.
2)Would you have any concerns buying at current prices?

Q: I don't have any semiconductors in my portfolio which I think would be a good addition to diversify my portfolio. What would you recommend at this point in time? Thanks for your ideas.

Q: With PHO going private which technology stock would be best to replace it with? I currently own OTEX and LSPD

Thanks

Q: Does Nuvei had 2 classes of shares? The symbol for the share in my account is NUVCF:PNK rather than NVEI.UN
Also there do not same to have the same daily volume and the closing price is always different. My brokers tell me it is the same

Q: Which stock i.e MKSI, UCTT, or ICHR would be a good replacement for PHO, with the similar characteristics of growth, risk, etc. If you have other preferences, please list them also with similar growth and risk.
Thanks for your service!

Q: I have been doing some reading about a company that just had an ipo
I wonder what your think of confluent

Q: Hi,

Can you compare and contrast AT vs WISH? I realize WISH would be considered much riskier due to market cap and and even length of time being a public company.

But I am interested to know if one has a competitive advantage over the other, are expected growth rates for next several years are substantially different between the two.

Would it be too much overlap to have small positions in both companies?

thank you for all you do,
Brad

Q: MKS is buying PHO. Would it make sense to buy MKS? Would the growth/risk/balance sheet be similar? What are the differences? Would you recommend a purchase of MKS or would you choose another company? If so, which one(s)?

Thanks for your service

Q: Peter; Is there a connection between new mass ransomware attacks and CRWD’s price ? Thanks, Rod .

Q: Why such a big drop today?

Q: Thoughts on 4th Q and year end results? Does Tecsys' growth warrant the current p/sales ratio? Comparing growth rate and price to KXS what do you think?

Q: I am now break even on kwe after recently being down 35 percent. Should I cut and run, trim, or hold. What is your outlook. Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I was looking at buying some NVEI. However, I am already heavy tech in general. If I were to buy some shares I would need to sell something to do this. The stocks that I already hold that would consider trimming to buy shares in NVEI would be: LSPD, WELL, SQ, MITK. Do you consider NVEI as having more long term potential than any of the other 4 mentioned? If so, which one of the 4 would you recommend trimming to buy some NVEI? Thanks

Q: I am considering selling U (down 24% in my TFSA) and replacing it with one of the following: WELL, NVEI, DOCU, MED, or APPS. Please rank in order of preference if purchased today. Can I assume all of the above stocks would likely have higher rates of growth than U and that the sale of U would thus be justified?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i
How would you rank the listed companies?
I would like to add NVIE. ,but also need to either sell one of the listed companies or reduce all equally.
The companies are equally owned.
Your opinion is appreciated.
Thanks
Cal

Q: What are your thoughts on MU results? Buy, Hold or Sell at this point? Is there another company you would recommend as a better pick?

Thanks

Q: MKSI announced its intention to buy the German chemical company Atotech. What are your thoughts on this move? It is a large acquisition and the initial market reaction does not seem enthusiastic
Many thanks.

Q: I'm really overweight in IT. Close to 35% but I need to get down to 20% or less. IT holdings are: KXS (3.1%); SHOP (16.9%); CSU (5.2%); TOI (0.4%); DND (0.2%); LSPD (2.0%); SYZ (1.4%); PHO (1.0%); CRWD (2%); NVDA (0.7%); DOCU (1.5%).

Not sure if it makes a difference but all are in TFSA except KXS, CRWD and DOCU (cash/margin account). Due to the fact that I'm working I don't want to trigger any taxable gains if possible. Obviously I need to trim SHOP by at least 1/2.

SYZ seems to be a laggard since it has only appreciated 45% in almost 7 years so I think I should sell that. Do you agree? (assuming a balanced portfolio).

Aren't DND and PHO going to be purchased?

I'm emotionally attached to the high gains otherwise... What's your suggestion on how to bring down my IT holdings in a tax efficient way?

Q: Can I have your comments on FY results. This is a very small position - fun money.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Would you be able to provide a summary of resources/materials needed in the semi-conductor space. Out of these are there any that would stand out as being particularly important. And finally are there any companies, Canadian or American, that have a good track record of providing any of these resources/materials.
Thanks.
