Q: Hello 5i members,
In one of the recent questions i noticed that you had quite a positive view on Microsoft for growing , in the future. I hold some Microsoft in my TFSA and although I don't like the idea of having to pay US tax on the dividends, I have felt that because I am positive about the growth of mfst and because the dividend yield is only .95 per cent, I am better to keep it in my TFSA despite the dividend tax. I was wondering how you would see a situation like this
thanks

Q: Hello,
I read somewhere that AAPL took 42 years to reach a 1 trillion market cap and only took 2 years to reach 2 trillion! Sounds like compounding at work. How common is it for mature companies like AAPL to grow at this rate? Which of the other FAANGM companies would you expect some thing like this? Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: Hello
what is your opinion on CNC? do you think that there is room for growth US health care stocks and would you recommend any other? Also, MSFT is down today. Do you think there is more room for it to go down with the upside to value stocks or do you see this as a good time to buy?
thanks for all your help

Q: Hi 5i team,
I own MSFT and am following a potential TikTok deal. You mentioned in an answer that you think the odds of a deal are now lower, but anything is possible. That does not sound like high odds. Is that because Trump is looking for a payment to the Treasury for what he views as brokering a deal. Is this legal or does it matter with him? Or are there other reasons for lower odds. How would you place the odds at this point? It seems to have been awhile since MSFT was active in the M&A space.
Thanks again.
Dave
