Q: With all these lawsuits, tariffs and inquisitions going on these companies due to their overall dominance / killing competition etc..How much is it affecting their ability to conduct business.. or the costs are so small, it is just a cost of doing business for these companies? Is it really impacting their revenues, profits etc..I can see it affects their ability to buy new businesses.. Thanks. Regards, Shyam

Q: I see that ARK invest is selling some of their holdings of SE. I currently own a small portion of SE. Do you see any immediate risk? Is it still a good stock to hold today?
Also I have a little bit of SHOP. How is SE compared to SHOP? Should I keep both or get rid of one of them? or should I even sell my SE/SHOP and get AMZN? Thanks a lot

Q: Good morning 5i,
I notice that you give lists of stocks. So, I will ask a similar question but perhaps more difficult. If one were interested in building a socially responsible portfolio, I hear that 15 to 20 stocks would do, what would you choose, given the need for domestic, US and International?
thanks

Q: Good Morning Peter & team,

so... As per your comments couple of days ago referring to a positive outlook for ATZ being dependent on the Oct 14 earnings call, I am assuming??? the very positive move today (up over 8%) is a result of a good report yesterday?

If you could please provide your opinion of the recent ATZ Earnings Call and any forward looking opinions you may have.

Also, in consideration for the very negative a brick & mortar report (malls primarily) which I saw yesterday along with the very positive on-line shopping results reported, are there any other companies which are related to on-line shopping you think we should consider moving forward in 2021come as we/if we come out the other end of Covid? Also, please confirm ATZ & LSPD are considered Industrials.

ps... presently my portfolio has a 5% position ATZ & 4.8% LSPD

Thanks for all you do

Q: I am looking at investing a small amount in Amazon, just for the heck of it and because I use it regularly (I am retired and living off Canadian dividends). Despite the stock growth in 2020, is this a good time to do so? Is there a seasonality pattern I should be aware of, e.g. around Prime day, Thanksgiving, etc.? Thanks.

Q: "Hello 5i team,

As we approach election season and Q4, the markets look to be taking a bit of a downturn that is reminiscent of earlier this year in Feb/Mar.

What are your thoughts on what's ahead for Q4 in terms of buying? Are there any industries and/or names that you would suggest to focus on?

Specifically, I am considering AAPL, MA, SHOP, SQ and AMZN on the current correction, given the upcoming holiday and gift buying season is likely to have a lot of ecommerce action and new apple toys, with payment processing being a natural fit.

If you could suggest your views on which industries and names have typical strength Q4 that would be appreciated.

Thanks very much! "
