Q: HI there: I am still in comfortable profit margin from investments in the three stocks above. I wonder what you think about taking profits (now 20 % lower for Apple) now and holding some money on the side, or is buying on this dip a good idea. Especially re Apple.

Q: Thanks to good advice from 5i, my tech stocks have done well enough to make up close to 40% of my holdings! Within the sector, these are my waitings:
CSU - 12%, KXS - 12%, SHOP - 11%, CLS - 5%, GOOGL - 9%, SQ - 11 %, AAPL - 10 %, NVDA - 9%, AMZN - 15%, and SPOT - 6%.
Some of these are broadly spaced within the sector, and I hate to let any of them go, but I’m getting a bit nervous about vulnerability to a general tech turndown. Do you have suggestions for me?

Q: I know that 5i does not cover US companies, however I read Peter's recent article in the FP on US tech companies and the need to have some tech exposure. That being said, for long term growth do you recommend buying into these companies at today's valuations or has that train left the station?

Q: I am currently overweight in tech (now pushing 23%). I have just retired (with a generous defined benefit pension) and am trying to adopt a more conservative approach to investing. Given this new focus:
a) What would you suggest would be an appropriate weighting for tech?
b) Could you list the above-noted holdings in order of least to most risk?
c) Could you offer your thoughts with respect to which stock - or stocks - on this list represents the best balance of value and growth?
Thank you.

Q: Hi guys,
I own TEAM, JPM, AMAT, GRUB, and AAPL in my RRSP. Each are 4-5% weightings with the exception of AAPL which is 10%. I've owned AAPL for years but I've acquired the other 4 companies within the past 2 months.
AAPL - up 140%, TEAM - down 10% (on yesterday's earnings miss), GRUB - down 10%, JPM - down 5%, AMAT - down 5%.
Do you see any issues with any of these companies? Would you HOLD all or recommend adding to or selling any.
I like to buy and hold long term and have no issues with patience. I just want to be sure that there are no red flags on any of these companies that I am missing...or if I should be viewing their recent drops as a buying opportunity.
thanks for the excellent service.
