Q: HELP, I am a confused investor trying to sort out the world of Technology stocks. What I would like is a meaningful way to categorize technology companies, particularly US tech. co's. For example:
PFPT is a security provider.
TSM and AVGO are semiconductor co's.
NVDA does graphics
IBM is an IT co.
5iR Team help.....could you breakdown internet tech into some subcategories and perhaps give me a US stock name for each that would allow me to do some research. In other words I see the forest but help me name the trees.
Thanks team. Chris

Q: Hello Peter,
Facebook announced great results;however, the stock hardly moved. Any comments? For gold, would you consider kirkland lake and detour as long term holds in that sector. Also, constellation software after the article in the globe has taken a step back. Is it good time to add more? Thanks very much

Q: Hi,

If I have a GOOGL position that has grown to 6.25% (which doesn't worry me), is adding 3.5% of FB too much of the same? My broker thinks they're both online ads.

Thanks.
