Q: Everyone, my neighbour just bought a ‘Back to the Future’ car with spoilers and all - yes he really did - and last night, without his knowledge I used it to go back to 1981. Then I used my life savings of $10000 to buy 125,000 shares of Apple stock. After the market closed that day in 1981 I flew back home to today. Now, I want to buy a stock from the next big growth industry AI. If I could buy just one stock, what stock would I buy? Clayton

Q: Hi Team,
I am sitting on a small position of roblox in a US cash account with a 56% loss. Would you recommend holding this name with expectation of an eventual comeback ? Or is it time to cash out and accept the capital loss? If so what name would be your favourite to buy today with the funds either US or Cnd regardless of sector for a 10yr hold?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Hello 5i,

We have been monitoring the economic cycle relative to stock market performance. Commodities are hot and there is a trend towards Bonds. Typically, this would indicate a stock market decline leading into a recession (mild or or medium decline).

But, our world has been turned upside down since covid. Is the S&P model of economic cycle and stock market performance model valid at this time?

Q: Quite some time ago I asked 5i for a comparison of JD and AMZN . JD was the clear winner on valuation but 5i favored AMZN. I bought JD anyway and took a bath on it . But according to your disclaimer so did you. { Either that or you've held a short position for a world record time } ..... I liked the company when it was $83 and I still like the company now though it has slipped to a 1% position in my portfolio .... Just saw their earnings report which was a beat and it looks like they are doing some interesting expansions. Could 5i offer an opinion on the expansions ? And which would you give the edge to, JD or PDD and why ? ..... And do you see the " China Factor " as continuing to plague these companies ? With the U.S. talking trade war I am a bit leery in spite of these extremely attractive valuations ......
