Q: Good morning team. I recently exited ATVI with all the sexual harassment allegations directed at the management. Didn’t sit well with me from an ethnical point of view. I did however do well with the stock. Wondering if you could suggest a couple of comparable companies to replace it. I do like the space. Thanks. Happy long weekend.

Q: Would welcome your interpretation of the recent Quarterly Results reported from Roblox, and your opinion on the merits of holding a position in the stock as part of a technology growth-oriented portfolio, or identification of any peers that may offer a better risk/return for a 5-year hold. Thanks as always to you and your staff.

Q: Hello 5i what are your thoughts on PINS, SPOT, ATVI and RBLX recent declines, I think all are overreactions for varying reasons (ATVI/RBLX getting dragged down with China crackdown on gaming, PINS USA MAU declined but everything else looks good, SPOT ... not sure what really changed here but it took a huge dive..) I like to buy a stock I know and follow anytime there is an overreaction like this. I know ATVI has culture issues with female harrasment and that has dragged them down as well but I don't really see how any of these stocks trajectory/themes have really changed all that much. How do you view these 4 stocks?

Q: Hi. There seems to be some confusion between a “ gaming “ company and a “ gambling “ ( or betting ) company. For example, EGLX is involved in gaming while WYNN is involved in gambling. Two very different activities. Derek

Q: Hi - Need some insight. I have had SWK for awhile and it has done well, but I am not sure how much more room there is for it to grow. I am thinking of selling and using the money on ATVI. Only concern is that ATVI might be a "Covid" stock whose value will decline with a vaccine. What do you think about these moves?

Q: Hello,
For a TFSA with a long term horizon (5+ years) would you please rank these companies, keeping in mind their current valuation?
Also, are there any that you would shy away from/not consider?
Thanks for your help

Q: I currently own both these 2 stocks for a 4% weight and have done well so far. I was wondering if I should sell 1 % of each and then buy MFST for a 2% weight. What do you think the comfortable weight of these 2 stocks should be? What % would you hold in a portfolio if 5i had a US portfolio? Do you feel that there is a better US stock than MFST for purchase at this time for a retired person?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

Which would you buy for the long term or is there a better choice? I'm surprised at the low beta of both ATVI and TTWO as I don't like volatility.
Would you wait or buy now?
