Q: Good problem to have - I own the above ETFs. Combined, there are now about 6% of my portfolio - I also own Axon, which is another 3% of my portfolio (up 65%). Am I getting too high into defence-related positions, or does the diversification in the ETFs mean that I could consider higher positions? What would you consider the top end regarding percentage of portfolio, and would you tie the Axon into the calculation? Thanks!

Q: My NOVO holdings are down significantly and I’m considering moving on to either BKNG, RTX or EUAD. On a scale of 1- 10 (low to high) please rate all four (ie. including NOVO) for both growth and risk, for a five year hold. Thank you.

Q: Good morning 5i team!

Your thoughts on LULU, RH and CROX? I bought them recently in expectation of a China tariff deal ultimately getting done. (NKE's Q results released today probably doesn't hurt sentiment). Are there any other names you would be interested in for a significant bounce?

Thanks as always.

Q: The ETF symbol QDVO is only a few months old. It is run by the same 5-person team that manages DIVO. The team is headed by Kevin Simpson who also head-manages the ETF symbol DIVO . DIVO has done well for my portfolio (if one includes distributions) and this prompted me to look into QDVO.

DIVO leans more toward value and dividend stability, whereas QDVO brings a growth tilt to the same income-generating playbook. I was looking to blend upside potential with steady cash flow and wondered if QDVO might be a compelling enough complement to the already held DIVO. Both ETFs are for RSPs. I would welcome criticism, critical comments, thoughts, and insight. (Perhaps I am making too much of who runs ETFs?).

Q: Hi 5i Team - First a general question on the topic of AI. Is agentic AI the sequel to generative AI and from an investment point of view are companies that are developing or involved with agentic AI ones we should be looking at now. Specifically is UiPath one to invest in along this theme and do you have any suggestions for other ones that may be equal to or better than UiPath. Thanks.

Q: Can you analyze AVAV as a potential investment? Look at growth, moat, competitors and catalysts if you don't mind. The stock has had a good run but it seems to have potential with all of the new NATO spending that is projected. In addition, please suggest any other companies that you more strongly believe in as likely to benefit from military spending with an emphasis on smaller companies with higher risk, higher upside. Thanks and Happy Canada Day!

Q: For Crypto exposure, I have a 1.5% position in COIN, a 2% position in GLXY (up 25%) and a .5% position in MSTE. I want to invest another 1.5% by either bringing COIN to 3% or investing in HOOD at 1.5%. Would you add to COIN or diversify into HOOD? Would you be comfortable with 5.5% total in diversified Crypto holdings?

Q: Hello,
Over the years my portfolio has been going up well when the markets are good and they drop (sometimes significantly) during downturns. What is the best way to manage downturns? Or in other words how to lose less during downturns? Is it by taking money off the table when things are good..is there some thumb rule to manage downturns. Thanks.
