Q: good afternoon - I have positions in both AMZN and GOOG, with modest gains in GOOG and good gains in AMZN. I'm looking at the respective P/E's and wondering if this is a good time to sell AMZN and increase GOOG. Taxes not an issue for two thirds of my AMZN. Do you think that GOOG will increase in value at a greater rate than AMZN in the coming years? I like both companies but this looks like an opportunity to high grade a portion of my portfolio. Thanks. Al

Many thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

We have decided to trim equity positions by 15%-20% and replace those stocks with less risky investments. This move is to retain capital investments for the near term due to leveraged market evaluations and the Narcissist who is making a serious attempt to change the US from a democracy to a Totalitarian state.

Can you please provide a list of safe havens to shelter against some of the potential risks?

Thank you
D&J

Q: Hi,
I added this one a while back in a TFSA, but find for a stock I though would be fairly consistent, it has some higher than expected drops - such as todays roughly 3% and a similar one about a week ago. Any thoughts on what might be prompting this? I also note the technical indicators of OBV and Accum/Dist continue to rise with price, leaving me think these drops aren't overly concerning, that this isn't the case with IBM since it's earnings drop. Do you think there is a 'caution' flag out on IBM? It doesn't seem to be holding up all that well post earnings, and I thought the earnings were OK. I'd welcome your thoughts on it as well. Feel free to consider this two questions - and thanks for your continued work on our behalf!
