Q: PSA


i find it funny that the media fawns over these great companies; gushing over their collective 2023 'huge gains

never mentioning that 5 of 7 haven't even made it back to their 2021 price

so those unlucky enough to have bought at the last euphoria (fall 2021) or almost breaking even

(and yes, i agree these are some fabulous businesses)

good luck

Q: Hello 5i,
I am up 56% to 90% on the MSFT, JPM, MRK,ABBV, AND PEP amongst a few others. It has been said to take profit if a holding is up 30%. I have held these for about 20 years and do not need the funds. Should I realize the 30% profit or let these continue to rise according to your advice of "letting the winners run" before a black swan occurs.

Q: Hello 5i,

We have a full position in VGT and 1/2 position in BRK.B in an RRSP and NVDA, AMD, and Google in our TFSA's.

Do you see reduced growth in the VGT & BRK.B ETF's with AAPL downgrades and a possibility of consolidation of MSFT this year after stellar 2023 numbers?

Would you swap VGT or BRK.B to another ETF for 2024 or just let it ride?

Thank you for your advice

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: Pls give an example of the curency hedged CDRs for a rising/falling $Cdn vs $USD ? For example, if one buys the CDR for MSFT and the $USD falls by 5% vs $Cdn and MSFT stays the same value in $USD and you sell, do you get your original $Cdn funds back (less fees) ? Is it the same with a 5% drop in $Cdn vds $USD ? Thank you.
