Q: I’m a little confused by GSY’s recent stock performance. It has been correcting for a while, but that seemed to have accelerated with the tech sell off this month and I don’t see the link. GSY trades at a reasonable multiple and has earnings and earnings growth, but it seems to be down big when the nasdaq is down big and up big when the nasdaq is up. What am I missing? Similar to Costco’s behaviour where the business isn’t technology but because it is included in the Nasdaq it seems to track it. Is that due to selling pressure from ETFs?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I'm thinking about taking a position in Roku, my thinking is their nice cash balance should limit the downside risk.
However I pause when I see it's trading around 10x P/S from the data you provide.
You had mentioned earlier that 10x P/S is at the high end of the range for high growth tech.
Thanks Gord

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.

Q: hi. do you have any information on the hiring of "big" mike McCormack as "head of risk management" at ECN capital. has anybody at 5i phoned the CEO at ECN, perhaps he is at big mike's "waterfront home in FLA". apparently over 5 million dollars in stock/stock options accrued he hath, shortly after his retirement from the Toronto police force? I'm just getting this info from Kevin Donovan's article in the Toronto star march 8, 2021. maybe it's just me, but this sounds a bit odd to me?

Q: Hello 5I,
I have one spot open in my portfolio for a high growth stock. I bought a bunch in the pullback but have $$$ to add ideally a long term core holding. The question is do I jump in now after so much has ran so much so quick? Or wait for volatility to create more opportunities. I am looking for a screaming buy in order to spend this money if that gives you any context.
Thanks
