Q: I hope you are all well and adapting to our new reality. I realize this is a US Closed End Fund , my apologizes. I have held it for some time in a rrif for income as well as growth I also hold XLK and a few canadian Tech stocks in that sector. It provides an ample dividend and I gain more upside from the others. Your thoughts?

Q: The company seems to be a stay at home play now - in addition to 5G
Any comments on recent developments and something to put on the watch list?

Q: As a premier Microsoft solutions provider, QUIS has been sliding under the radar but the stock has performed extremely well since the market meltdown on 23 March. I would appreciate your analysis, however, given that their earnings are due to be released on 28 April, could you wait until then before providing an answer.

Many thanks.

Q: Has had such an amazing run, I think I should protect into earnings. Do you agree?

When is the earnings announcements date? Before or after Mkt close?

Thanks

Q: Looking to add more exposure to companies in technology that will help drive growth of the economy not only in the near term but long term. Things like Software, AI, 5G, IOT, Self Driving Cars, etc. With HXQ ETF the pick is more the Nasdaq 100 which will contain a number of these companies. With ARKW and IGV looking at some speciality to help in the overall growth of my technology allocation. What are the thoughts on the 3 selected or do you have others you would recommend. Looking at ETF to get some broad exposure and reduce risk of picking individual stocks. Thanks as always.

Q: Is Descartes debt free? And Kinaxis? How much cash do they have.

Q: Hello 5i!

Appreciate all the great work.
I am looking for a canadian as well as US listed tech ETF. And semi-conductor fund to be held in my RRSP. Diversification and of course hoping for long term growth.
Currently XIT (TFSA). Using the room in RRSP for US listed dividend stocks/ETF's. Or whichever is the most tax and growth efficient.

I'm wondering what your top picks are in that sector and why? One concern of mine is some have a much higher mer. Is that worth the performance in the long run?

Or better bang for your buck on keeping fees low as usual and the most diverse fund. Company and cap wise. Hence holding a primarily large cap and semi conductor. Or just 1 solid all around.

If I'm missing a far better pick please enlighten me.

Thank you for putting together such a great site and program. Info is fantastic.

Q: What is your current best pick (or top 5) for pure growth over 1-3 year term?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Do you know the semiconductor company name that produces the G5 RF chip for cell phones?
Thank you.

Q: Clearly high tech and e-commerce companies are doing much better than the general market. What would be your recommendation among cloud computing companies including those in the US. Thank you for your great service.

Q: Trust me I am not complaining, but what is behind KXS’s amazing run lately?

Q: I believe the supply chain area will be a strong investment theme in the future due to the rise of nationalism in the world. I know you like kxs and dsg primarily based on this assumption.

Can you give me three names in Canada (excluding the above) and three names in US that you currently favor to play this theme.

Thanks for all the great independent advice that you have provided over the years It is a no-brainer renewing for another year.
Keep up the great work!!!

Q: In February you stated that you consider KEYS:US to be a weak buy. Do you still consider it to be a weak buy? What are the company negatives? I notice the company's stock appears to have weathered the Covid crisis better than other companies even though the stock is still down from its pre-crisis high.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: I have room in my TFSA for one of DSG, ENGH, or KXS. Which would you choose and why. I'm in my late 80's so my time frame is 3 to 5 years.

Q: Which of these 3 companies have the type of business that will thrive post COVID 19 and would it be a buy recommendation?
Thank you

Q: Shop has become one of the top 3 companies in terms of market cap in Canada. Past companies such as BlackBerry, Valeant etc when they took the top stop their fall was epic. Do you think this time is different and investors are ready to have tech lead over banks? In the US we see tech as these trillion dollar companies but in Canada we still value to banks as the biggest companies. I think the tide might we changing.
