Q: Hi,
Marvell announced today they will take over IPHI. As I hold IPHI, I would welcome you're thoughts on what you feel is the best course of action now. If you were holding this stock, would you continue to do so, or try to cash in on the jump that one might expect after such an announcement? Thanks for all your great advice!

Q: Can you please provide an updated view on FSLY? I have ridden the rollercoaster back to where I started and would like some insight from you in order to help me make a decision to hold or sell. I am growth-focused and therefore not overly concerned with risk, but I don't want to continue holding it without a reasonable shot at recovering the growth it has shown earlier this year. I believe that my portfolio is well diversified, including exposure to other stocks in FLSY's segment. Thanks.

Q: After scanning 5I questions for the best fit for my daughters LIRA which she will not need for 20 years and will not be contributing to it, we settled on VFV,VEE,and VUN. That leaves room for a tech ETF for the remaining. Considering:
XIT.TO but the MER is high at 0.61% vs. TEC.TO which is a TD ETF
product with an MER 0.35%. Are there any others to consider or which
would you choose and why?

Q: Hi,

I have a very small spec position in Bitfarms who secure cheap power and lease state of the art computing power to mine bitcoin. They promote their good "mining margin" and "mining profit" (non-IFRS measures) however they still show a net loss (Q2 2020). Could you give a non-accountant like me the readers digest version of where all the money vanishes between the "mining profit " and the net loss. Also, your view on future prospects for BITF would be appreciated. I am up 40% on a small investment - take the money and run or does this thing have the potential to be one of those 2 or 3x home runs? I feel compelled to add that I believe my #1 investing mistake is selling too soon. Perhaps more than 1 question so deduct as required,

Q: Hi group still agonizing over keeping or selling this stock before results for 3 rd quarter are posted next week Nov 3. Looks like lots of insider trading (can you confirm?) the stock came off significantly over the last month . Looks fishy to me that there is some information out there that we as shareholders do not have (hence the question on insider trading) - please comment. My second question is on LSPS I sold at $46.50 Cad and am waiting to get back in - do you see the stock dropping below $40 is this environment or will it hold - should I buy sooner rather than later I am a moderate risk investors . Thanks for your guidance.

Q: Hi 5i team,
This morning AMD announced its long rumoured takeover offer for XLNX. XLNX shareholders get 1.7 shares of AMD. CNBC reports it as a valuing XLNX at $143 per share, although AMD is under some pressure in the pre-market. I assume the long closing date of end 2021 is also a drag on XLNX upside. I may or may not hold onto XLNX. Is AMD a good buy here, with some pressure on it, in the fight against INTC or are there better growth candidates in the chip sector?
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: After the announced AMD takeover would you suggest selling now or hold on in a margin account? At what price point a sale would represent fair value? In general, i have not been able to figure out a selling price for any candidate that has been bought either for cash or a combination of stock and cash. How do you calculate that?
Regards

Q: I currently hold small positions, about 1%, of each of these stocks. Are they similar enough to consider consolidating into one holding? Which one would provide the better growth opportunity going forward?
