Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I currently own GIB.A. While I’ve been not unhappy with the company I’m wondering what your thoughts would be on switching to Microsoft. Would there be a similar potential for gain and a reduced risk level while owning a much larger company?
Thank you for your fantastic service.
Mike

Q: I am looking to add to my Tech Sector - I currently have AAPL, MSFT, CSCO ( in RRSP ) and OTEX - I am thinking about buying some GOOG ( in our TFSA accounts ) to complement the above - would that be something you would do OR would you add to the existing positions. Appreciate you comment.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
Do you think the pharma/biotechs sector has risen on (assuming) hopes of vaccine success only for most within the sectors to deflate again when a decisive outcome has played out (does this seem a simplistic view)?
I guess I'm trying to gauge risk factors within these sectors at this time.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Good morning, could you update your thoughts on Spotify. Is it a strong buy right now? I heard someone recently make the case for Netflix tie up again. What do you think of the Joe Rogan deal and the podcast push?

thanks, Mark

Q: Howdy - Why didn't Warren buy some Stanley instead of Bank of America? Too small? So for exposure to US financials in the form of a sorta bank isn't MS better positioned than most with no loan default concerns and great exposure to wealth management (high net worth concentration?) Decent divi too. Why no 5i love for MS - is it the symbol of the stock matching what most associate with something horrible? Bothers me. Fondly, Ken

Q: Hello 5i team,
Which one do you prefer GOOG or AMZN for a long term hold (no worries about day to day variations)? And why? Does your conviction vary based on investment horizon or the results of the November election?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Both GH and ILMN are held in diversified US Portfolio, with weightings of 2.36% and 2,22% respectively. I bought both with initial positions with the intention of adding on other positive future factors. After reading recent Q&A for these two companies, should I own both or just one and if just one, which one?.....thanks....Tom

Q: In a recent missive, David Rosenberg suggests that smallish pharma and biotech companies are the place to look for future growth. As I don't have enough cash on hand to buy a bunch of stocks, can you please suggest a fund or two that would be a good way to play the pharma/biotech sector. Though your focus is mainly Canada, I suspect that the US would be the place to play this sector. Do you agree?

Thanks in advance!
