Q: I am considering positions in Digital Turbines, Crowdstrike, Twilio and Nvidia as the market declines. What is your short and long term views on these companies? Is 1/3 positions a good strategy until the markets settle??

Q: I sold VET last month as a tax loss harvest and bought NNRG as a replacement. I'm thinking of now switching back to VET. It seems to have done better than NNRG over the last month. Would you endorse this switch back? This is for medium risk profile and an already existing portfolio of oil & gas stocks.

Q: Can you recommend a global ETF that trades on the Canadian exchange that includes the whole global market except for North America? I've found some that only include developed countries but would like it to include emerging markets as well.

Q: I would like your impressions on PUBM. Its valuation is quite reasonable compared to others in this space such as MGNI and TTD. It seems to me that their success depends on the being able to attract more publishers to their platform, not sure if you have any insights into their potential.

Thank you for a fabulous service.

Q: Hi 5iresearch team
At finance.yahoo.com website, I was able to download the historical data of indexes (S&P500, Dow, and Nasdaq as well as the Candian TSX or any other ticker) in an excel file format (CSV). Now, it seems I can do that with Canadian tickers only. Is there a way to download the American companies historical data from the Yahoo site? If not is there another source that provides similar format data?
Thanks

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,

With interest rates set to climb, do you believe that “residential” REITs/Real Estate stocks like CAR.UN, IIP.UN and TCN should be over-weighted in one’s portfolio? My thesis is that less people will be able to buy a house in an already overheated real estate market, forcing them to consider renting an apartment or home. (I assume that real estate is also overheated in the US when including TCN) Do you concur, and if so, can you suggest any additional names? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i - a two parter:
Firstly, are you aware of any website or other resource out there that offers easily accessible side by each display of the common evaluation metrics of companies in the same sector, subsector or industry?
(I ask because most sectors differ from other sectors in terms of what is a desirable P/E or P/CF or ROE or ROA etc. etc. so when I see what I might think are either healthy or unhealthy metrics for a particular company I don't have a readily available way to compare those metrics to companies operating in the same sphere to allow me to quickly determine if they truly are unhealthy or unhealthy, comparatively speaking.)
And secondly, is there any resource you are aware of that sets out what the average various evaluation metrics are for the different sectors / subsectors / industries or, alternatively, what could reliably be considered healthy metrics for each.
I'm not adverse to doing the work to come up with this information myself (although I expect I would have difficulty arriving at reliable information to fulfill part two of the above) but it would save me a lot of time and paper if that information had already been gathered. I suspect others might find the sort of sector specific database I'm looking for helpful too.
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Hi there,

I am seeing an increasing number of questions from people looking to exit their technology holdings and wonder (as I read your banner at the top of the page about doing nothing) if now is perhaps too late to be exiting. I understand that people may look for safer havens but I would like your opinion on whether or not people with a 5-10 year horizon and an appetite for risk should be scaling into many of the higher quality names rather than selling at what appears to be nearing a bottom. I can't help but think of so many who bailed out of oil stocks when things appeared dire and then didn't get back in for the massive rise.

Q: On 5 Jan you responded to James that you had the view that AFRM was still fundamentally strong and was setting up for a potential rebound. Do you still feel this way? I see there are some legal issues surrounding this company now as well. I have a half position in this company, am normally a long term investor, but is it time to sell this and put that money into another company which has better bounce potential? Thanks again, Dan

Q: Hi, Interested in your take on why BRP Inc trades at such a low valuation. They have great brands, seem to have the ability to innovate, and it looks like they can continue to grow (10% for the next several years seems reasonable). What am I missing? I am a long term investor (investing for 10+ years out) and I don't mind volatility so would you recommend I look for more aggressive growth?
Thanks
