Q: Hello 5i,

I am looking to start a small position in one of the above. Please rank them from your most to least favorite with a brief explanation.

Thanks

Q: CLS or SHOP for growth in Canada? Is there another you prefer? Sector irrelevant.

Q: hi folks, thoughts on Q results for Versabank, Vbnk/t & q....stock took big hit on last Q results but recent news/developments seem encouraging??....Chris mentioned stock/liked previously in a podcast....have held for awhile....things look better going forward, or time to cut loose & move on....thx as always, jb

Q: Hi
The world seems to be so focused on stocks like GOOGL, APPL, NVDA, TSLA whereas I don’t see a lot of hype around SHOP.

In your mind does SHOP have the inherent appeal to grow at the same rate as the above stocks?
Would you please rank SHOP compared to the rest i.e 1-5,

Thanks

Q: I have a position in ENGH. With the recent quarters revealing slightly negative growth and no catalyst in sight, would you recommend moving on from this name? Hence, sell or hold?

Q: Hi 5i
Today the "Company announced it has partnered with Superstate to allow stockholders to tokenize and hold GLXY shares onchain....This milestone marks the first time a public company has tokenized its SEC-registered equity directly on a major blockchain. "

What does that mean and how do you view this transaction going forward ? Is it big positive or not and potential positive catalyst?

thx

Q: Good morning- I notice that in recent questions about gold companies, EQX is not amongst your favourites. I hold EQX and AEM. Would I be better off selling EQX and either adding to AEM or a different company? If so, which do you suggest? Many thanks

Q: Could you comment on the Q2 results. Would you move to a full position based on results?

Q: Descartes just reported Q2 earnings. They have made 85 cents (US) for the 1st half of the year. Given that earnings are creeping up, maybe they make $1.75 or $1.80 this year. That would be about $2.40, $2.45 Cdn, something like that. The stock price is about 55 times that, giving it a very high p/e. I know it has always had a very high p/e. Earnings growth for the 1st half is only about 6%. I know DSG is a highly regarded business, they are pretty consistent, etc. but I am finding it hard to see the value of holding this stock with such sluggish growth compared to the very high p/e ratio. Seems it would be tough to see much price appreciation when the p/e is already so high and the growth is minimal. Is there reason to think the growth might be high enough in the next 2 -3 years to justify not only the current stock price, but a significantly higher price? I'm finding it difficult to justify continuing to hold a stock with a PEG ratio of about 9.

Q: Hi 5i
Current thoughts on PRL? Your report was done March 2024 and it has almost doubled. Update soon?

Q: Just a follow-up to Les’ question about finding total returns for a company. Doesn’t the 5i interactive graph just show the percentage increase in share price, not total returns including dividends?

Q: Good Day 5i team... thank you for your very valuable time, answers to questions and guidance. My question is, can you list out your top 10 ETF and or Equities you see as insulation/defensible should the over bought North American equity markets begin to slide. Thank you

Q: Given recent weakness, what entry price would you recommend to initiate a position?

Thank you.

Q: What would your top ~5 recommendations be to build an RESP with an 10-15 year horizon.
Had to sell all positions to live the account and have a good pile of free cash currently to redeploy. Not dissatisfied with prior holdings but creates a moment to consider best options currently

Q: For a 5-10 year hold within a TFSA could you please provide your top 10 Canadian stocks or CDR’s ranked by total return/compounding potential? For a non-registered account with a 3-5 year timeframe could you also do a top 10 list including both Canadian or US equities (no CDR’s), again ranked by total return/compounding potential? Thanks.

Q: Everyone, I understand that you do not invest in Canadian stocks, but if could give one Canadian stock to your grandchild what would it be? Clayton

Q: hi 5i
Current holder of goose and see this morning it is up on rumours it may be taken private...any validity to these rumours as far as you know....and in your opinion what would you expect a take out price to be?
thx

Q: Which might you recommend of these 2 for a 2 to 3 year hold and an entry price? Thanx.

Q: Would you recommend averaging into more CSU as it’s come way off its peak stock price set not long ago or do you think there’s more downside to come?
