Q: Hello 5I. I know the year is young but I am considering selling PayPal down 20% and jumping into $meli. I do own a substantial position in some $NVEI so fintech is kinda covered. What do you think of upside and outlook as well. Thanks

Q: Hello .. I own a significant position on PayPal and am down 20%. With that said is it a good time to switch into something better? I am not really stuck in staying in fintech with this $$ but do you have a short list of great buys right now? Probably with at minimum similar growth? Do $meli or $sq fit the bill? Thanks

Q: If you had to buy one would you buy $SE, $Meli or something more traditional? Would be replacing PayPal.

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm new to the service and joined with the hope of finding an unbiased second opinion on my portfolio of stocks. I had the good fortune of purchasing in my TFSA SHOP ($1200); LSPD ($26.31); SE ($149); MELI ($769.45) and continue to hold. This year, not so good, I had purchased REAL ($18.16); ABST ($13.79); AT ($10.36) which with the exception of MX are all currently in the red.

My problem is that given my current YTD is at -13% I should probably shake up the TFSA. However, when I look at each stock individually I just can't bring myself to sell, I love the growth potential of them all.

I'm (obviously) ok with volatility in my portfolio and I do not anticipate needing the funds for 3+ years. I would appreciate your thoughts or ranking of these stocks in terms of growth potential from this point forward. Are there better stock opportunities I should consider out there for my TFSA ?

Thank you in advance.

Q: How would you rate these firms/etfs from a growth potential, financial well-being and diversification perspective. My portfolio is currently 40% MAW104 with bank, insurance, pipeline, and telecom stocks making up the remainder.

Q: MELI seems to have lost its mojo and I'm looking a stock to complement my tech strong portfolio.

Do you think finances are a good recovery play? Do you like BAC as a finance play?

What sectors companies do you like?

2020 was good to me as i was all in tech.
Time to broaden my selection.
Thanks for all your support.

Q: Currently have full positions in AMZN, SHOP and SE. What is your view of MELI? Would you advise peeling off 10-15% each to invest in MELI at todays market prices? How would you rank for growth over next 3-5 years?

Q: I'm curious what your favourite emerging market companies are right now (that can be bought on a US exchange). I currently own MELI and am looking for some other ideas in the tech space. Or can you suggest an etf?

Thanks

Q: I am having a hard time deciding which of these 3 companies to invest in. Can I please get your analysis on these companies? Would you consider any of them as a good buy, longer term. Can you rank them in terms of growth potential? Thank you

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Several websites that comment on stocks rate Mercado Libre (MELI) very highly. I know you don't follow international stocks as closely as Canadian securities, but you do have access to a Bloomberg terminal and perhaps other paying stock research sites. I'm hesitating to buy MELI because it has risen so much in the last year and the probability of a reversion to the mean or a drawdown is that much greater today. Are my concerns misplaced with this company?
