Q: I hold the above and they all had favorable comments from 5i on growth at one point. Is growth still intact? Do you see anything that's changed in the companies or the environment that would affect any of these? They are inside an RSP for long term growth. TIA!

Q: I am currently down 30% on Cognex. I have Facebook,Google,Netflix Grub,Nividia and Amazon. Your recent comments indicate that you do not see much of a recovery for CGNX in the short term. Can you suggest an alternative? Weighting and sector have no bearing as I'm otherwise diversified.
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
It seems that CGNX will take some time to recover (down 20%) and am wanting growth. Is it worth holding for 2 or 3 Q? Could you give me your opinion on replacing it with IQ or Box, or another suggestion. I have a small position in IQ which looks promising. Thanks for your help.

Q: Could I please have your opinion on the following stocks: American Tower Corp (AMT), Cognex Corp (CGNX), Comcast Corp (CMCSA), Corning Inc (GLW), Qualcomm (QCOM), ServiceNow (NOW), Dowdupont (DWDP)? Regarding Fairfax India Holdings (FFXDF), is this a five year hold, or is it money down the drain? Your recent answer to someone asking about Cognex (CGNX) was that it was out of favour. Can I have more details? Do you think this is the time to be buying gold due to the US's huge debt, and the increasing trade tension between the US and China? Thank you for your input.

Q: I have US $ Portfolio: FB,SHOP,CGNX,AMZN,NVDA,SQ,NFLX,MA.
Yesterday I sold all of CCGNX because of down trend and Dead cross on
EMA50 & EMA200. I have around 20 K US$ from the sell.
Please suggest some some US stocks to replace CGNX that you would buy
right now or should I wait for change of trend to up to repurchase CGNX.

Q: My average cost 62.50 and I am down quite a bit since the last quarterly report. Reading through your comments on this stock, you feel that the stock has lost its momentum. The company reports next on April 30. Do you see any reversal in the next 6 - 12, should one continue to hold or should one just sell now and replace it with a better choice. Regardless, if I should decide to sell now, could you suggest a couple of US replacements with some growth prospects that have positive momentum. (I was thinking of businesses like Visa or Mcdonalds or something you may consider more appropriate with similar moats). This security is being held in my wife's RRSP and she also holds: AT&T, MSFT, FB, MS, AMTD, JNJ & MO. I am more interested in preservation as my wife will have to begin withdrawing in a couple of years.

Thanks,
Joseph
