Investment Q&A

Q: Visa fell yesterday (because of DOJ's accusation?). How significant do you think this is?

Q: Can you provide your latest thoughts on MRVL. It seems to be gathering speed. What say you?

Q: Hi,

Do you think that the Growth Portfolio is poised to outperform the balanced portfolio moving forward? You've mentioned in other threads that small caps have underperformed in the past 5 years; is that compared to large caps, or is that compared to an index?

Also, when comparing both portfolios to American ETFs such as VFV, they both seem to underperform. Which portfolio would you recommend for a long-term 40-year hold in a TFSA to maximize returns? Or would you recommend a different investment into an American fund to maximize returns over that same time horizon?

I like the strategy of investing in small-cap stocks for higher growth but also don't want to disregard the balanced portfolio if you believe that small-caps will continue to underperform moving forward.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts

Thanks

Q: How do I access the Forum section please? I've looked and my eyes must be painted on.

Thank you

Q: I am wondering how often your members look at the posts in the forums section. There are a small number of us that post there fairly regularly, and I have been hoping that regular posts there would encourage more people to join in. Hasn't happened. How difficult would it be to put in a "views" feature on posts there, so that we could see how often people were even seeing the info being posted there. There is valuable stuff there - I have made over $100,000 based on stocks mentioned by others there, and the stock picks I made at the start of the year were up about 33% on average when I did a review a few weeks ago, but if people aren't using it, maybe the few of us are just having a small private conversation.

Q: What is a good entry point for this stock?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Considering how well the techs have done in the balanced portfolio, OTEX seems to be the laggard thus far. Are you still comfortable/confident with this equity. Do you still have patience for this one?
