Q: In spite of Nvidia’s recent drop, I still find myself quite “tech heavy”, and I’m sure I’m not alone! Thinking of trimming, how would you rank these: NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP.

Q: Based on today’s price and multiples, how would you rank Amazon vs Google vs Nvidia. I have 6% in Google and Nvidia. I only have a 3% position in Amazon. If it were you’re account, would you trim to add to Amazon or just add to Amazon. 5 year+ timeframe

Q: Hi 5I, my question is more about portfolio construction. I have moved both AMT and CCI to the communications sector of my portfolio to raise the percentage in that sector and to decrease the financial sector or REITS. It it fair to do such things as it does feel like they belong in the communications sector.
Thanks

Q: Hello Team,

Looking at starting a new position in a few of the 12 companies tagged. Can you rank from 1 to 12 on which companies you think is the best to start a new position in. No worries on size, industry or risk, looking for capital appreciation only over the next 3 years.

Thanks again!

Q: Good morning 5i, I've held CCL.B for a few years and until the positive results in the 1st Q this year giving it a bump it has been a slow grower. I'm considering moving on to something with more momentum. Two questions: What are your thoughts on CCL.B for the next 3-5 years?, and if it were to be sold, what are your top picks in the consumer cyclical sector, Cdn or U.S. for growth and ideally a small dividend? I already have ATD and BYD.
Thank you

Q: I know this is outside 5i's wheelhouse, but I am going to cheekily ask it anyway. I am contemplating a 50% drawdown of my investments (to purchase a cottage) and want to determine the optimal way to do so. 50% of my investments are in a cash account, and roughly 50% split equally between TFSAs and RRSPs (all of which are maxed out). Almost all my high growth stocks are in my TFSA (NVDA, VRT, GOOG, MSFT, AMZN), with mostly slower growers and dividend stocks in the other accounts. Considering both tax consequences and the need to continue having a diversified portfolio, where would YOU take the money from?

Q: My portfolio is 35 per cent technology. I own 600 shares of Nvidia which comprise close to 10 per cent of my holdings. I also own Goog Amazon Microsoft and Apple but no Meta. Does it make sense to sell 200 shares of Nvidia to buy into Meta at this time or do I not interfere with the Nvidia momentum.

Q: I hold the above positions in approx equal weights in a non-registered account from which I need to raise some cash for a home project. If you were to sell entire positions, in what order would you proceed, first to be sold through to tenth (ie which positions do you see as having the most potential yet to be realized and would be later in your sell order)? Alternatively, are there some positions you would sell outright while trimming as needed from others, and if so, which ones would be sells - again in what order - and which would be trims? Many thanks.

Q: I'm considering a very small position in WBA as a "contra", turn-around pick. I recognize that this is not the type of stock 5i would consider investing in. However I value your opinion on this name despite its warts already mentioned in past Q&A:

- Do you see about a 5 P/E based on projected earnings? Other metrics also seem better than the last 10 years.....of course for a reason.

- How sustainable is the new dividend payout?

- Do they have the capability to cut costs enough to bring the debt load down to acceptable levels?

- In your opinion, how susceptible is their business model to disruption?
