Q: Hi 5i Team,

I would like to ask about the GOOG fractional shares traded on the NEO exchange.

Do you views these shares any differently than their underlying share?

How they would be treated in light of the upcoming split of the common shares?

Are these types of fractional shares subject to withholding taxes if held inside a TFSA?

Thanks for the great service!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I know you like GOOG, and am wondering if the following story is further reason to buy some/more, and perhaps a reason to lighten up on MSFT?

Q: With the recent down turn in Google I would like to buy now and hopefully benefit from a price increase when the stocks splits 20 for 1 in July. I have 3,000 US, so I can buy one Google share OR 120 Google CDRs. What would i5R recommend, buy 1 US share OR 120 Google CDRs with CDN funds. Thanks … Cal

Q: Hi,

Have some cash to put to work. What would be in your top 5-10 CDN and US stocks that fit the descriptions below. Can be value or growth. Long term investor. Thanks!

“stocks with fair valuations that are at great price points and have taken a hit during this market volatility”

“high-quality stocks with sustainable growth, solid valuation frameworks, robust profits, positive earnings revisions, and strong momentum compared to peers.”

“wonderful company at a fair price”

“Bargains are the holy grail of the true stock picker. We see the latest correction not as a disaster, but as an opportunity to acquire more shares at low prices. This is how great fortunes are made over time,”

Q: Hi,
Given the recent great earnings report from Alphabet and their announcement of a 20:1 stock split, do you think it is a good time to start a position in GOOG? Or would you wait it out for a while, as there is likely more downside for growth stocks? Fundamentally it would seem to be an easy choice for a buy and hold long term, but from a more technical perspective, I am wondering if this is a buying opportunity, or more of a wait and see?
Thanks for all your valuable insight!

Q: Two quick questions. GOOG currently make up 6.4% of my total portfolio. Given recent developments, I'm inclined to let it run. At one point would you start to rebalance?

I also hold HD in a registered account and am up >95%. In a recent response to a question, you expressed a strong preference for RH over HD. I note that HD has a beta just over 1, while RH is 2.37. RH's significantly higher beta gives me pause. Given that I am a medium risk-taker, would you suggest I swap HD for RH? Thank you.
