Q: Hi 5i:

Having sold my US tech before the pandemic (???) and Canadian tech 2 months ago (???) I am considering jumping into the Canadian tech space again. Would please advise me on your 3 favourites and rational for each. Potential growth and "safety" long term are key considerations. Thank you for always great direction.

Q: Looking for guidance on 2022 TFSA contribution. Currently have partial positions in these Tech companies of roughly equal amounts. Could you rank in order of best investment opportunity from current levels?
Do any of these companies overlap in their target market and if so which one should I focus on for better opportunity.

Q: Season's Greetings 5i team,
We will be making a 6k contribution to each of our TFSAs in the New Year. The two accounts hold the following securities:

TFSA1: ATA, DSG, WELL and TOI
TFSA2: ATZ, BAM.A, DOO, NVEI and TOI

In what order might you invest the $ in the securities in each of the two accounts? (Given the relative size of this investment, overall diversification (across all accounts), size of holdings and industry allocation will not be affected).

Thank you for your dedication and all of the great work you do for us DIY investors. Merry Christmas and HNY!
Steve

Q: I'm in the process of rebuilding my portfolio for 2022. It would be helpful if you could share with me a list of both Canadian and American companies that meet the following criteria:
1. They are some of your favourite companies from a fundamental perspective
2. They are currently buying back their own shares.
3. They offer a decent dividend.
4. They run businesses that offer good growth prospects for next year.
5. They currently offer good value.
6. These companies are so solid they would classify as 'core ' holdings.
At least six companies in each list would be appreciated.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude for the support and ideas you have shared this past year. Definitely one of the best advisory services available to Canadians,

Q: 2 of u favourities,DSG & KXS have a terrific run,with each hitting recent new highs. Is it time to take some profit. Q4 is said to be usually good for tech,but this time around there is a threat of a potential rate hike.While Powell re nomination is largely welcomed by the markets he is perceived to be more hawkish than Brainard,the other candidate,. As a result the tech sector in US & canada were hit hard today including DSG & KXSW.As well DJ only
gained 17 points after earlier gains of some 300 points..U valued opinion is appreciated.Txs for u usual great services & views.
