Q: Hello 5i,
I need to increase my U.S. exposure in 1) healthcare 2) consumer discretionary and 3) consumer staples.
Can you please recommend 2 stocks and 1 ETF for each of these sectors for a 3-5yr hold.
Thank you.

Q: In terms of growth and quality, what is your strongest long term recommendation for each of the following investment themes:

Artificial intelligence
Cybersecurity
Cloud computing
Digital payments
Online advertising
Infrastructure rebuild
Alternative/clean energy
Asian consumer spending
Medical needs of an aging population

My preference is for single stock ideas (US, Canadian or international) rather than ETFs, if possible.

Q: hi,
thank you for, and this question is in reference to, the answer to the "baby Mag 7" question a few days ago by "JR". are you able to do a short analysis of these 7, compared to the "adult" Mag 7 in regards current and future valuation, growth, debt/equity metrics. further, do you have any guess on the timeline of googl/meta etc.'s development/utilization of their own AI chips in house?
take as many points off as needed, this question seems like a bad homework assignment to me!
thanks Chris

Q: I currently have BBU, BBUC, BN, CRWD, LSPD, MSFT and U in my TFSA account. BN, CRWD and MSFT have shown good growth but I have losses in the other stocks. I will be investing $7000 in my TFSA for 2024. Would you suggest any changes to my current stock holdings? For my 2024 TFSA investment, would you suggest adding to one on my current stock holdings or investing in another stock such as LMN, AMZN or LMN? Thank you

Q: In the midst of portfolio rebalancing for the coming year and have another question with regard to composition. I've been reading your comments around the positive prospects for tech in 2024 and want to overweight that sector. I am currently at 18% tech (NVDA, MSFT, LMN). But I also hold GOOG (technically Communications) at 5.46% and AMZN (technically Consumer Cyclical) at 7.39%. Within the context of an alpha-balanced portfolio, would you recommend increasing my tech holdings further, or do you believe I am sufficiently weighted in this sector given my additional holdings in AMZN and GOOG? Thank you.

Q: PSA


i find it funny that the media fawns over these great companies; gushing over their collective 2023 'huge gains

never mentioning that 5 of 7 haven't even made it back to their 2021 price

so those unlucky enough to have bought at the last euphoria (fall 2021) or almost breaking even

(and yes, i agree these are some fabulous businesses)

good luck
