Q: Hi,
I’ve held V shares since the IPO and have done really well. With all the talk about the shift to digital currencies/payments becoming a more dominant place in the global financial system, do you think also diversifying into BABA (stake in Ant Group) and PYPL (creating a larger transactional payment landscape for the future through bitcoin) would be a good move? Do you see further secular growth in this area? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Seems that Square is recently facing much more competition. Just in the last two days, JP Morgan has launched "Quick Accept", Visa has announced "Tap to Phone" and Paypal is opening up their network to cryptocurrencies. Is the big run over for Square, and would you recommend possibly switching to Paypal within the payments space, given these announcements? Thanks. Brad

Q: Hi,
To enhance growth potential in the low-interest and slow-growth environment, I am thinking of selling JPM to buy either V, MA or PYPL. Any suggestion and comment? I already own half position of V in my other account.
Thanks,
Martin

Q: Over the years I have built up our position in V, to the point that today I have 4X more invested with V than PYPL, all within an overall appropriate allocation. Would you advise to rebalance between the two, with a view to long term growth - more like 50-50, or what would you advise?

Q: We have sold out of USA Tech and have several full positions of USA $ in registered accounts. I no longer wish to devote as much attention to investments.
We know that USA is not your forte but could you recommend a couple of dividend paying "layups". Buy it and forget it ? We acknowledge that nothing is a sure thing.
Thanks for Your help

Q: I have these three in my TFSA. I just read that holding QCOM in it is a potential problem due to the withholding tax. Is that also the case for MSFT and V. Can you explain the problem further and if it is an issue should I be transferring these stocks out of the TFSA and into a registered or open account? Thnks.

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.

Q: These are the US holdings in my RSP. All have done well except for SYK down about 8% with a limited outlook for the rest of 2020 based on the Covid pandemic. Regardless of sector weighting, what are your favorite 2 or 3 US equities for growth over the next 5 years? I'm okay with a moderate risk.
Thanks in advance,
Greg.
