Q: Hello Team,

Looking at adding some funds to CAN stocks I already own, are you able to rank these in order from 1 to 14 based on a 3-4 year hold, I'm not worried about company size or industry. Thanks!

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I noticed a question today asked by Tim concerning GSY and what a target price to enter a position would be. I added some shares today at about $179, which was above your suggested entry price of $170 but this purchase only raised my average cost / share to a little more than $160. In addition to the entry price, do you think that this is a good way to view such a purchase as well?
Thank you
SP

Q: Hi 5i
Any thoughts on Amer Sports? They own the very successful Arcteryx clothing line as well as many other sports related businesses. At about $35, was $42 not long ago. Chip Wilson recently sold $160 million but still has 18% through his holding company. He appears to be raising cash (any idea for what?). The stock has tripled since IPO about 2 years ago. Your thoughts? How would it compare to another of your great calls, Aritzia?
Thanks, Greg

Q: Can you provide thoughts on the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Value Factor ETF (EVLU) as a long term investment in the current high valuation environment?
I’m seeing a 3% 30day yield, 10.7 P/E, and 0.35 fee.
If in your response you say it’s too new (less than a year) or too small (10m AUM), please remind me why those things matter and how you’d weigh them for an investment that is otherwise attractive.
