Q: Hello 5i,
I've done well with Shopify and Amazon with SHOP being up over 1000%. Lucky me!
They now collectively make up a little under 10% of my holdings. Everything I see says "better days ahead" so I don't mind holding on to them being a long term holder.
What do you think, is my exposure too concentrated?
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi, I am planning to initiate a position in AW-UN.TO, it has gone down approx. 10% in the last month. My expectation is to get an average annual return between 6-9% in the next 5 years. Do you think it is realistic ?
Do you think it's current valuation is interesting for a 5 years holding period ? Any other advice/comments on AW-UN.TO would be appreciate.

Thank you,

Q: Hi !
Being overweight in tech (holding those above roughly in equal amounts), could you indicate, in order, which one you would let go to create some cash ? I also hold the following ETFs: igv, vgt, iusg which may create some duplication.
Thanks as always,

Q: There have been a lot of questions about your thoughts on CIBC and whether now is a good time to buy. It seems like you prefer other Canadian banks for their dividends and growth potential. Can you please rank Canadian banks from what you believe is best to worst for a 5 year investment horizon?

Q: Artis Real Estate Investment Trust AX.UN
Please clarify the situation on Artis REIT. The first sentence of Marcel’s question on Sep 9 read “Artis is going thru the process of selling all its properties to wrap up its business.” Info from Artis website states “In November 2018, Artis announced its intention to sell between $800.0 million to $1.0 billion of non-core assets over the following three years.” Is Artis just selling non-core assets and continuing the business? If so, does your answer change?
Thank you.
