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: Gentlemen,
On the PF Analytics, 5IR consider GOOG (6.2%) & FB (<1%)as IT but the new Sector is CS.
I adjusted sectors by end 2018, but PFA gives a 28% in IT and CS 0.5%
Are 5IR will make the change on sector changes?
Thank You
Best Regards

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
