Q: Looking to establish a portfolio of higher yield equities. What are your thoughts on the above ETFs as part of the portfolio and which would be a preference if choosing only one? Have just started building recently with 1/2 positions in each of POW, PPL and BCE so far. Expect to hold 7-10 positions in total.
Thanks

Q: I have nearly 200% gains in PANW, with losses to offset, so no tax issues. Wanted to know what you thought of selling PANW and buying CRWD with a 3-5 year time horizon and growth as the objective. Brief reasoning would be appreciated. Thx, John

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

Well continues to drift lower daily. Today it actually ended even (maybe due to the Scotia interview). I see their business mix as both benefiting from the secular tech tailwind and cyclical reopening tailwind.

Today the stock dipped below $7. This is almost 29% lower than the upsized equity offering. Couple questions:

1). How does this effect those large investors that are “holding the bag”? Could the upsizing be at risk?

2) How low can this company continue to drift? At what point if any are you saying this is insane and buy more?

Thank you.

Q: I'm having trouble locating your last Report on Telus. Would you direct me please.
And would you comment on the present price of Telus being an opportune point of acquisition vis a vis Rogers and Shaw's current dance.

Q: Hi 5i,

You have mentioned that "Anything 'growthy' and on the smaller side has been unloved for the last one to two months." So the Hi Tech stock seem to be the worst sector now. Do you think the tech sector is over? How many months or years will the tech stocks come back by your experiences. I have no income, but can still survive for 2 years.

Q: Hello Folks:
It appears technology stocks are moving opposite direction to industrials such as Deere, Caterpillar, Cummins etc. which have been very quiet for a number of years.
Is this a normal situation?

Does this mean there is more confidence in this sector and less in technology; or is it because technology has been the go to in times of uncertainty; although I would think these Covid times would have produced more uncertainty with the opposite effect.

Do you feel this trend will continue empowering industrials at the expense of technology such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google etc.

My specific question is re: Veeva (on a steady downturn) and how you view it's long term prospects.

Thanks for your good work
