Q: Hello 5i
Can you give me some feedback on Roku's earnings?
What caused the large fall in stock price?
What is your take on ROKU? Is it worth investing in, or should it be avoided.

Thank you
Steve

Q: Hi 5i - Five years ago, you suggested that my son (now aged 31) invest his early career earnings in in NVDA, TTD, ROKU, DOCU, FLIR, TEAM, CRWD, KXS, SHOP, LSPD, GSY, DOO, BYD, REAL, DSG. He largely took your advice a few of your picks have skyrocketed. Most notably, the $2,500 USD he put into NVDA is now up almost 1,900%. At the five year mark, he is wondering if it's time to rebalance and sell some of this NVDA shares or if he should continue to hold. He worries that all good things must come to an end and would appreciate your input, since it served him so well in 2020. If you have any other suggestions of growth stocks (or particular picks from your Growth Model Portfolio) he would also be interested. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i

Back in 2019 I asked if you could provide a "growthy" USA portfolio.
The above stocks were your recommendations.
Could you provide an updated "growthy" USA portfolio for 2025?
Thank you!
Dave

Q: I've held TTD for many years now (since about $17 thanks to 5i) and it's starting to seem expensive at current prices (especially given the roku talk). Would it be best to diversify some towards others in the ad sector like APP or MGNI (or any other suggestions)?

You've spoken favourably of APP recently, do you like it better than TTD at current prices? My holding period is as long as possible if that helps.

Q: Looking at my Communication names I am wondering if it isn't time to move on from PINS and ROKU as I try to streamline my portfolio. Currently down 55% on both names after 4 years.

Allocation aside, I am thinking of selling both and simply increasing my position in GOOG. Thoughts? High risk investor with a long investing horizon.

Thank you as always!

Q: Have these stocks, which are all down, in a TFSA. Are they worth holding for the next 6-12 months or would you sell and move on?

Q: I'm reviewing my American holdings, looking for long-term (5-10 year++) hold. I like about half of what I have, but I'm looking to - possibly - replace positions in Intel (full position), Verizon (full position), IBM (full position), and Roku (half position). Is that a good idea? My only limits are that I'd like to keep things American, I already own full positions in Google, Costco, and Intuitive Surgical, and I'd like to avoid more healthcare.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have a handful of losers that I'm trying to decide what to do with. Using your crystal ball, which of these would you continue to hold and which would you dump?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm trying to clean up my US Portfolio so that I'm at 20-25 equities total. Please advise which 20-25 companies you would keep for a 5-10+ hold with balance/diversification but also some growth in mind.

Q: Roku just dropped 20% today.
. This causes me to be at a loss of 35% ($1750).

My ROLU stake in my RRSP is now 4%

Should I sell my winning stocks and buy the ROKU dip. I was thinking to invest $3100 in Roku so that average loss would go to 17.5%..

Or should just sell Roku at this point and move.on?

Q: HI folks
Sadly, I am down on all of these somewhere between 60 to 95%!!! They mostly but not all started out as somewhat small positions 2 to 4 years ago! I have time to wait longer but: 1)are there any that are absolute failures and therefore should be sold. 2) Would you please rate the selIs from 1 to 10 ..10 being the absolute SELL. 3)How many years should I give these? (tough to answer but just a guess). I will not get much at all for any of them! Please take as many credits as you see fit.
Much Thanks and happy Family weekend

Q: Can you offer your thoughts on Roku results and its future potential? Increasingly, it looks vulnerable to larger more powerful players and its competitive position and ability to price for value to customers appear to be eroding. Any comments are welcome. It is noteworthy that after an 80% drop it is up 100% this year. It is yet dramatically lower than its peak.
