Q: Hi team

a great pick by 5i research, thumbs up

I wonder if some of the shares are owned by the Quebec Pension board
and the CPP

It would help to see if they actually let the public knows how many shares ; especially recently added

Thanks

It would greatly increase the long term outlook for GSY if the above can be confirmed

Q: Good morning. Have similar small positions in both Apple and Veev. I like a concentrated portfolio. Should I condense to one and if so, which one? Or just leave well enough alone. Also own Kinaxis and XBC in my TFSA. Dividend stocks are in my self-directed account. I'm a 75 year old senior woman who loves managing my own portfolio, with your wonderful recommendations of course. Thanks. Lorraine

Q: I have about a 12% equity position in ZQQ. This etf has more than doubled since acquired in mid 2016 as part of portfolio realignment suggested by 5iResearch (Thanks 5i!!). With respect to sector allocation I have been assigning this etf as all technology. However, BMO breaks it down at about 50% tech with other sectors accounting for the other 50%. I understand that a great many stocks and etfs are spread over more than one sector or one geographic area. Please advise if I should continue to consider this as all tech sector for the purpose of sector allocation. Appreciate your help with this.

Q: Hi 5i,

Any reason that Bill Holland (Board of Directors) sold a total of 270,766 shares at an average price per share of approximately $31.56. Do you think it will have negative impact to the stock? In general, Investors monitor insider buying and selling since buying activity is often seen as a positive sign that executives believe the stock will rise in the future. Conversely, insider selling can be seen that executives believe the company and its stock price may underperform in the future. Do you see any possible of underperform reason, please kindly advise.

Q: Hi i5,

According to "Buffett Indicator", when it's in the 70% to 80% range, it is time to throw cash at the market. When it moves above 100%, it's time to lean toward risk-off. Now Market Cap to GDP Ration > 100% means stocks in bubble territory. Do you think Canadian stocks may also in bubble territory? If US in bear market, do you think the above Canadian stocks which I am holding can be survived? Perhaps, should we start to off load which may be in danger during the bear market into cash, or switch among balance or income portfolio. Any suggestion?
