PS. I understand your timelines, but if you could answer quickly because tomorrow morning will be my last buying opportunity for the next week.

Q: Good day team, I was wondering if you could provide some growth stocks either in the US and Can that have very little to no debt.

Q: Hello Peter

I am thinking of selling off and putting funds into goeasy and Upstart .What is your opinion . When people start to buy back into growth stocks which of these high tech will recover quicker .

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently own the above in my TFSA and non registered accounts as part of the "tech" sector - I would like your opinion as to whether you would add to any of them OR would this be a good entry point to buy CSU for some Canadian exposure.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
In a recent question on Apple’s new privacy policy on iOS, you said that FB will be impacted as it is an App on the iphone, but GOOG is largely unaffected as most of its ad revenue is derived from its search engine. In another question, you mentioned that GOOG is also implementing similar changes to its Android system. With the big guns tightening their privacy settings, will the smaller players, such as MGNI and AT, see a significant drag on their revenues? MGNI and AT are off big time but it may be more the market backdrop.
Thanks again.

Q: Please list in order (first to last) your top five US cyclical stocks. If APPL isn't one of them, please explain why not. Thank you.

Q: Further to my question from feb 16, 2022
Thank you for trying to help me transform from dividend investor to a bit of growth.
5I mentionned P/E, P/S, ROE ratios.
What are the present ratio values for these 3 companies right now. ( I understand this is a snapshot in time).
A. what is considered a "good" / buy cutoff for these ratios
B. how would you priorize or rank these ratios in terms of importance (from a buying perspective)
C. a rising dividend is sometimes a warning signal of a falling price (catching the knife concept) should I be wary of looking at these ratios like a % dividend; rising dividend not necessarily a good sign OR sometimes a good buy if really / fundamentally a good company (which I believe all 3 to be.)

Q: Given the recent and continued decline in Teck stocks, can you provide your top 5 Tech picks for US and Canada. Small and large cap??

Q: Happy Family Day to everyone at 5i! I am a firm believer that technology is our way in the future and holds great potential for growth. From all the research that you have done, which two technology stocks, either US or Canadian hold the greatest potential for future growth and why. Cheers, Tamara

Q: Based on todays prices, which of the beaten up tech is the "best" (most likely to do well moving forward, best monopoly / moat safety, most safe earnings, best books today, best P/E) to buy for a long term hold (over ten years)?

qualifying them on the above characteristics would be appreciated or any other variable that you feel is important.

If my list missed any other tech considerations, please let me know.

thanks

Ernie

Q: Can you explain why Apple’s privacy policy affects the ad revenue of FB but not GOOGL‘s?

Q: I am used to thinking of dividend stocks in terms of 1. yield relative to historical yield, 2. payout ratio, 3. years of consistent dividend payout without cut as the major deciding factors what would be equivalent factors be to consider in the tech sector stocks.
such as Google, apple, Microsoft, please provide an analysis in terms of what to consider that would influence buying / ranking one over the other.

thanks

Ernie
