Thank you

Q: Good afternoon, Just wondering if your conviction for Elastic N.V. is still as high as it was several weeks ago? Since the drop following the recent earnings report, ESTC hasn't really participated much in any of the tech rallies. I'm down about 11% and wondering if I should be patient, or consider selling and adding to other high conviction picks already owned, such as NXT, VRT or AXON? Thanks. Brad

Q: Hi 5i,

While looking into the stock, I found that it has very high stock based compensation. This seems quite concerning to me. I know you like the stock, so is it something that is justified because of its growth?

Q: Hello 5i,

Thank you for taking time to answer so many questions on top stocks to own or purchase. We read through questions on ranking popular stocks but we were not able to formulate a priority list of CDN and US small cap stocks, especially with so many rising quickly in the last couple of months.

Based on current valuations, risk, growth potential, and management, in what order would you purchase the stocks below for a 2-5 year hold? If there are too many stocks, can you please list your top 10 or 12 in priority from the list?

ACLS, ACMR, AXON, CELH, DOO, ESTC, GSY, HPS.A, INMD, LMN, OPRA, NXT, PATH, PLTR, SMCI, VRT

Thank you

Q: My tech stocks have had a great run and it's time to trim as they are now about 33% of my portfolio. Can you please rank the above stocks along with SMCI (watching for a pullback in that one). I also have GOOG and AMZN. Do you think they are too closely related as well?

Q: Hello. I'm preparing to buy a couple of tech stocks. Unity Software (U) is one; which is a go. Also, 5i seems to like it. But my Q is about Elastic N.V. (ESTC). One Q&A in 2020 with only a few others dating from 2019 in 5i's Q&A section. It looks interesting to me, but I'm not sure. I'd appreciate your updated look at the stock and your opinion about adding it (currently trading at all-time high -- but cash flow is still negative). Thanks!
