Q: In response to a recent question, you had suggested an appropriate portfolio weighting for the tech sector would be 20-30%. Strictly speaking, I hold about 19% tech ( LMN 4.5%, MSFT 5.55%, NVDA 6.5% and UBER 2%). That said, I also hold an additional 17.6% of what I would consider 'tech-like' stocks: GOOG 5%, AMZN 6.75%, and VRT 5.85%. Would you suggest I am overweight, underweight or nicely balanced in terms of my tech holdings? By way of context, I would describe my investment style as risk-managed growth. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

I am looking for growth. If I can only have one which do you believe has the most potential? NVO for its incredible weight loss drugs or Uber now that it has dominated the car-hailing business.

Thanks
David

5i Research Answer:
Here are some of the high-quality US names with moderate risks and reasonable valuations that we think investors could do well by owning a basket of these names over the long term. Although these may not the the best winners, we think these could be considered as compounders such as BKNG, ULTA, AXON, ABNB, UBER, ADBE, FI, ODFL, HEI, AZO, ORLY, ARES.

Would your answer be the same today. If not, what would be your list today? Thanks

Q: I have held EA for almost five years, and it has only gone up 8% in all that time. My son is a gamer and said that other than F1, all the games he plays are made by other video game makers. So, I am thinking of selling and either adding to my IRJ (small caps) position or starting a new position in IJH (mid caps). Do you see much potential in EA? Am I too late to buy IJH? My other thought was maybe Uber? Everyone seems to use Uber these days. Thank you.

Q: What do you think of airbnb and uber? i use both companies a lot and like them.

Can you give me your thoughts on each in terms of: valuation, growth prospects, how they stack up to peers, and how good the ROE is?

Would you say one is better than the other? I assume they are both pretty GDP sensitive w/how much travel and leisure spending impacts them
