Q: In my US account, I hold Berkshire, Disney and MasterCard. I was thinking of selling one of these to free up some USD to purchase CRWD for more growth. Which one would you suggest selling if you were in this position?
Or, if it were possible, would you suggest converting some CAD to USD to purchase CRWD, and keep the US stocks that I have already?
Thanks
Robert

Q: I hold both these companies.
Mastercard has been pretty flat for the last 12 months. Do you see things picking up significantly for them when people start booking tickets for flights, hotels, concerts and Disney Land or will papal process more of these payments as well. PayPal has grown to a size in my portfolio that I wouldn't want to add to it. I know Mastercard isn't a "weed" but can't decide if it's a "flower" that could use some water ;)
Would you add to Mastercard (or maybe start a position in Visa) today or look for something else? (In the payments space I also have a full position in SQ)
....PayPal passed Mastercard in market cap today. (mind blown emoji)
Cheers

Q: Could you please rank these financial stocks? Is there another one you would throw in there that may be better? Thanks
Q: I had recently saw a comment on Seeking Alpha that Visa was a good holding during a period of runaway inflation. Regardless of whether or not you see inflation reaching that level., would you agree that V as a good holding in that environment? Would you include any others (Canadian or US) ?
Q: Hi,

CNR vs CP, which one is a better ?

Q: I have difficulty determining certain financial metrics* for FISV. This is perhaps due to the closing by FISV of its acquisition of First Data in 2019 and the consolidation of statements . (FISV’s acquisition in December of ONDOT would not be a factor).
Data I have access to show a very low ROE, and a sky-high PEG.
1.*Would you have something more current on your systems for forward P/E , PEG, and projected ROE?
2. I had assumed FISV’s management was generally fine, but I see now that other FinTech and payment processor companies have done much better over the preceding ten years. Do you think FISV may have swallowed more than it can digest in terms of both debt, and in its ability to effectively merge operations?
3. If you had small positions in MA and FISV, to which one, if any, would you add? (perhaps not comparable) .
( Trading on Thursday 14Jan: MA dropped 5.6%, Visa -3.6%v, PYPL -1.11% , FISV -2% but SQ up 0.8%, and DFS up 1.5%. Struck me as puzzling or is this normal? )

Q: "Hello 5i team,
As we approach election season and Q4, the markets look to be taking a bit of a downturn that is reminiscent of earlier this year in Feb/Mar.
What are your thoughts on what's ahead for Q4 in terms of buying? Are there any industries and/or names that you would suggest to focus on?
Specifically, I am considering AAPL, MA, SHOP, SQ and AMZN on the current correction, given the upcoming holiday and gift buying season is likely to have a lot of ecommerce action and new apple toys, with payment processing being a natural fit.
If you could suggest your views on which industries and names have typical strength Q4 that would be appreciated.
Thanks very much! "

Q: Could I get your opinion on Mastercard please. Also would you own either it or Visa.
Unless the trend to less cash reverses these companies should have some strong tailwinds but are never inexpensive from a valuation standpoint. Thoughts pls.
