Q: Hi, I am looking to deploy some US dollars I have in cash. My thinking is to focus on US tech - in particular the software, internet and semiconductor industries. Could you recommend names in each industry you feel would be a good choice, considering solid companies with growth prospects that could be held longer term?
Thank you for all your hard work!

Q: I am wondering what your 5-6 best TFSA contrib ideas are for where we are in this market. I am kinda a guy who favours a thematic approach to investing as opposed to buying a roll-up-er like CSU or ATD. I'm looking to buy a name today that is good & getting better and hopefully one that will bear a lot of fruit in 3-5 years. Happy New Year!

Would you make any changes today twelve months after you first recommended it?

Q: Why did SHOP rise so much ( more in percentage than other stocks ) on Friday ? Is it a good time to buy WORK now to gain in 2020 ? Is PD , ZM, CRWD , oversold now ? AYX did not move on Friday which is a good day ?
Thanks a lot for your excellent service.

Q: AYX is down. Does not seem to be recovering. I saw someone else had written in a few days ago. Me being a holder - would you classify it as a buy, sell or hold?
EIDX never seems to have a down day - up considerably this year. I usually wait for a stock to have a down day or two before purchasing - this stock doesn't seem to do that. Would you recommend it? Would you buy it now or wait for a hesitation in it? Thank you. Dennis

Q: Hello team,
A member asked the following:
BMO's Brian Belsky is predicting a bull market for the S&P500, with growth of 18.5% pa for the next 5 years!
Assuming he is right (big assumption) what are your favourite growth stocks (US or Canadian) for a 5 year hold?
You suggested a few stocks...one of them GH...is that Gamehost or Guardant Health?
Thanx!

Q: In my TFSA I have had a nice run with SQ and was thinking of selling it out and "starting over" with a couple or three of the above listed stocks that you have recently identified as having high potential ( with the same? amount of risk that came with buying SQ a couple of years back) What do you see as the pros and cons of such a move and if implemented which 2 or 3 would you chooses at this time?
Thanks,
Terry

Q: Hello 5i
I own all of the companies noted. I'm wondering if there is excessive overlap here and if I should sell one or more in an effort to reduce overall holdings?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide the names of 5 or 6 companies which you think have potential for good growth but are still in relatively early stages of development and are still pretty much unknown to the investment world. I am looking for companies with manageable levels of debt or no debt at all. Sector and market cap are not a factor. Thank you.

Q: Just wondering what the expectations are for AYX next quarter. Looking at the past few quarters, the year over year comparison is going to be tough, given that last year's revenues almost doubled; December 2018. I never did figure out how much of this is related to changes in accounting standards for recognizing revenue. Any comments appreciated.

Q: Hello Team,
I am overweight in technology growth names and have been caught in this “sector rotation” from growth to value. My question is do I now hold steady and ride out the storm, or trim back my growth holdings and switch to value? I am a buy and hold investor typically and believe the names I am invested in are best in class in what they do, and believe the way the world is going that technology will continue to advance and should be where the biggest growth is now and into the foreseeable future. So, with the names listed do I buy more , hold, or sell?Thanks for your input on the matter.
