Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: What are your thoughts about Facebook going forward? Worth holding or are there better growth stocks out there? If better growth stocks please name a few you would prefer. Risk level not a factor.

I would like to see dollar value change in portfolios in portfolio analytics rather then just percentage if you are considering making changes.

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I was contemplating buying either TTD, ROKU, or perhaps both. I understand both of these are a play on online advertising, which is no doubt set to be long term trend as more and more of the world gets online. Which do you prefer of these 2 names? And are they too expensive to buy at these levels? Any concerns with either of them at this point? My other part of this question will also be: I already own FB. Given that most if its revenue comes from social media advertising, and they are doing great at what they are doing, is there any reason to buy the other 2 names mentioned for exposure to the future of online advertising? Other than simply diversification? Thanks
Shane.

Q: With the world feeling a little uneasy about a pending recession, I want to keep only holdings that will weather a downturn. I'm not trying to time the market, and want to hold stocks, that while they may dip, have good balance sheets, good management, and will likely see a recovery. Others I will sell and hold the cash. Above are my current holdings. Do you see any that may be susceptible to excessive weakness in a recession and would therefore meet my sell criterion? Thanks,
Kim

Q: 5i,
Question: Which of these three companies are preferred going forward for 2019? Should we hold all?
5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
We think GOOG looks best here, though we will give credit to MSFT for adjusting well to technology changes (the cloud).
FB we think will be a longer recovery, and we don't think is a must-own. We would be fine holding the other two.
DO you still feel the same ?
Thanks

Q: Hello,

With the recent positive earnings from Facebook and ServiceNow, would you recommend buying at this point? I'm also a long time holder of Visa (stock is down based on yesterdays results), would it also be a good idea to purchase MA at this time as well?

Thanks,
Raj

Q: Hi 5i! I'm a middle-aged subscriber that has picked up some of the 5i researched companies - most recently Kinaxis and BNS. I'm slightly overweight Kinaxis and Shopify since I see them as potential growth engines. KXS, TOY, NVDA, SHOP, FB, and BNS are all in my non-reg account. If I need cash this year for personal projects, which companies might you recommend I start selling? Thanks!

Q: I'm considering tax loss for FB and returning to it in a month.

It looks like its price is stabilizing now, but I imagine my crystal ball is working as well as anyone elses.

I'm a big fan of the stock but can't see how it can overcome such steady bad press.

Your thoughts please.

Thanks for all your support.

Update; I no longer have a loss on it.

Mark

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,
Thanks for the great service Peter and Ryan. It is trying times for portfolios

We picked up AMZN (2%), KXS (1%), ZCH (2%) and GOOGL (1%) in the last few days. Also owned is BABA (3%), NVDA (2%). We have 25% in cash available. Is tech recommended to be 15% or 20% of a portfolio as of today with all the recent drops? I am going against the grain here for a bump up in 2019. Of AMZN, BABA, KXS, GOOGL, FB, MFST, BIDU, & PHO, and an outlier BYD.UN which 2-3 stocks are most appealing for a recovery?

Cheers
Jerry and Debbie
