Q: any particular reason for the recent run up in Shopify?

Q: With recent gain in tech sector, are you concerned with valuations getting stretched. Is there some kind of euphoria being building which draws some parallel to 2000 tech bubble. Like 20-30% jump on META, NVDA, SMCI, ARM. Is there a suggested to mitigate risk while maintaining decent exposure. Thanks

Q: hi,
thank you for, and this question is in reference to, the answer to the "baby Mag 7" question a few days ago by "JR". are you able to do a short analysis of these 7, compared to the "adult" Mag 7 in regards current and future valuation, growth, debt/equity metrics. further, do you have any guess on the timeline of googl/meta etc.'s development/utilization of their own AI chips in house?
take as many points off as needed, this question seems like a bad homework assignment to me!
thanks Chris

Q: There is so much buzz in media about the Magnificent Seven- the latest grouping that alleges dominance from these mega cap leaders and how 2024 is likely to see them fall from grace at least in momentum rallies, or at least in contrast to others.
Don’t support this assertion, ie is there relative price and growth rate relative to others such that they are due to get leapfrogged, or worse decline? I feel like this same line has been towed for several years and look at five and ten year growth rates for any of these as examples.
If you had some chunk of change would you lean here or elsewhere, say to financials or industrials?

Q: Hi 5i Team Could you tell me what is driving Meta? I have a small position in it and was planning on trading it for MSFT but it seems to be performing better recently. Do you think the trade is a good move or should I hang on to META.
TIA

Q: Hi Peter,

From a risk-return perspective over the next five years, which is the better investment option? Purchasing an equal weighted investment in the magnificent seven, SPY, or QQQ? Please explain your rationale.

Thanks George

Q: Hi All,
I'm helping my common law wife setup a high six figure investment portfolio. She is 57 and attempting to retire as am I (64). She is hoping to be able to make an income from this portfolio and some of that monthly if possible. We will be setting her up a new Cash and TFSA account with Qtrade. Would you also set up an RRSP at this point? I'm thinking she should put some in Gics, High Interest savings ETFs (at least for now, and Dividend stocks (Banks, Pipelines, Utilities etc.) I would love all the advice you could give in this format? Possible list of some ideas as well as what accounts would work best for these holdings for tax purposes? Thank you in advance!

Q: If you did a US version of the 5i Balanced/Income/Growth portfolio setup, to which of the three portfolios would you assign the above stocks ? At approximately what weighting ? Are there any that you wouldn't consider ? Please ignore sector diversification.
Many thanks, as always.
