Q: Hi folks,
I hold BCE and Telus in my RRSP. Would like to reduce my weighing in BCE. With that money I am looking at adding to one of... GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL or VISA which would bring one of these to a 9% weighing which I'm okay with. May I have your opinion as to which one you would add to and why.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team

My understanding is the merger / share consolidation between Liberty Media and Sirius (old) in now complete.

From the September 10 news release I understand the new dividend will be approximately US$0.27 per quarter.

Questions:

1 - When will Siri report quarterly earnings?

2 - Is SIRI a reasonable investment (dividend investor seeking some growth).

3 - What are some of the relevant financial metrics to look at for this stock. I am hesitant to look at "old" metrics as there has been significant financial changes from the merger and share consolidation.

Thanks

Q: I am a long term owner of AAPL and have done well by it. I am wondering if a switch into GOOG for its projected growth is a better long term holding in your opinion. How would you compare the two? Perhaps the obvious solution is to sell half of AAPL for a GOOG purchase. My other tech names include MSFT, CSU, SHOP, LMN, NVDA and VRT with tech making up 25% of my overall portfolio. Many thanks.

Q: I’ve heard that data centre spending between now and 2030 will fall into three buckets: CPUs, Ai accelerators, and infrastructure, where CPUs are the slowest growing segment. Do you agree with that framework, and if so, could you briefly explain the difference between these three areas and recommend the best companies in each? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
After reading disturbing reports about Shopify's business practices, such as not enforcing its own acceptable use policy against its merchants selling nazi-related products, and its COO's board-level involvement with a far right wing media group, do you have any suggestions for ethical growth companies in Canada or the US to replace this name in my portfolio?
Thank you. Michael

Q: How should one employ the forward price to sales multiple to determine value? What I’m trying to figure out is when to avoid a stock that has gone over its skis as they say. Take stocks from ultra to pstg to Crwd - we go from 1 x earnings to 23 x. By that gauge, one presumably buy Ultra. But when I think of value, I remember how I once bought Rim over Apple because the former looked cheaper. Can you comment on any guideline for us of this metric? Thank you,

Jason
