Investment Q&A

Q: Happy New Year to the 5i team.

I was hoping to get some feedback about how about to allocate about 11% of my total portfolio that is otherwise well-balanced and is made up of a mixture of Canadian dividend and large-cap stocks, and US and international ETF's.

These purchases will be in my TFSA and I am seeking greatest total return for the next 5-10 years. I am not afraid of risk but am also looking at sound investments rather than speculative purchases or quick trades.

I currently own GH, ISRG, LSPD and XBC and would like to add 4-5 more names. On my short list are the following: CRWD, MITK, ROKU, TTD, TT, U, VEEV and XYL.
Are there any from that list that you think match up well with my existing stocks? Alternatively, if you think there are better names that I haven't mentioned please advise.

Thanks in advance for all the great work you do,
Rory

Q: What are your top us and canadian stock picks for growth that you would buy today.

Q: Hi, Nuvei took a hit Wednesday morning, I understand, in line with downward pressure on Big Tech, with Democrats win in Georgia senate. This company appears to be a favorite with 5i, based on your recent comments as well as the payment space, it operates. I think, it was also mentioned in one of the answers that Nuvei has a niche in sports and gaming payment settlements space. I noticed some news this morning which helped sports betting stocks like Draftking etc, jump 3-5%. Will this be beneficial to Nuvei ? I bought a small 0.5% position, today and still considering to bring it up to 1-1.5%. Thank You

Q: Which clothing company do you prefer between lulu, goos and atz short term and long term?

Is QS attractive back in the $60 range, or what price should you find it attractive if any at this point?

Thanks very much
Brian

Q: I am an older, 'dividend' investor, financially secure, with about a 5 year window to take advantage of a small growth portfolio. The purpose is to provide interest and education during this pandemic period, and subsequently to pass any profits on to the young adult cohort in our family. I have recently taken small positions in WELL, KXS, XBC, CTS, BB & GRN and am considering LSPD(too expensive?) and DCBO(slow growth?). Any comments re buy or sell would be appreciated.
BTW, since taking a membership in 5i I have already had an excellent education! Thank you.

Q: Hi everyone!

Just a quick question on Amazon purchasing 11 jets from Westjet and Delta. I know online purchases have been accelerated because of the pandemic. Do you see Amazon's purchase of jets and their existing fleet as a medium term threat to companies like Cargojet?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

Happy New Year greetings.

FTS and WPK have provided me excellent returns in the past 5 years but recently have been rather stagnant. Can you give a list of 3-4 suggestions to replace them with ( it does not have to be in the same sectors) inside a TFSA?

Thanks.

Q: Happy New year 🥳.
Could you name 3 to 5 Canadian and US high growth momentum stocks that you feel would likely do well in 2021 irrespective of size, industry etc. Also, could you include in that list one of your favourite high growth silver producer?
Thank you

Q: A Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year to 5i team!

As you folks are good in identifying the trends with momentum, what are the 2 sectors that you feel have the best momentum now , going into 2021. For the next 6 months to a year?
Your selections for these sectors?
US;Canada;and the Rest of the world.
Thank you!

Q: I am 60 years old, and I don't need the upcoming major problems that the world central banks are creating lead to the destruction of my retirement. So I am diversifying.

I currently hold the traditional Canadian dividend paying stocks, growing exposure to Emerging market ETF's, Gold bullion / ETF, commodity stocks, Infrastructure / Renewable Energy via the Brookfields, a few big name US stocks, and now entering the crypto world.

Here is my question: I read a recent article on Cathie Wood - CEO of Ark Invest. She claims:

"Seeded during the tech and telecom bubble more than 20 years ago, the five main platforms of innovation that we think will transform the global economy are: DNA sequencing, robotics, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. These involve 14 technologies including gene therapies, 3D printing, cloud computing, big data analytics, and cryptocurrencies."

I already have a pension from a Robotics-related company, and I am investing in crypto. Do you have any recommendations for anything else from what she mentioned, in which you would share her outlook? I have both CAD and USD accounts. Could be company or ETF - big or small.

Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon, I am wondering if you could provide 4 or 5 top Canadian or American non-tech suggestions for our 2021 TFSA purchases. I noticed Xebec in one answer but would this be considered "tech"? I also have a second question. I sold half my shopify some time ago and of course, it has continued to run up. Would you trim again or would you just enjoy the ride at this point?
Thanks, Rod

Q: can I get your top 3-5 growth picks excluding the tech sector at this time?

Q: What would be your top 3 non-tech US growth stocks? Thanks

Q: Bought BABA a month ago and now down 15%. Would you suggest holding the course...or eating the loss (in a TFSA) and buying XBC? Thank you.

Q: Thinking of doing something new - Add US stocks to TFSA.
As of now, this account has a balance/growth Cdn stock tilt, like the ones in the 5iR portfolios. Read on 5iR, best to include no dividend or low dividend US stocks. Question - is there a rule of thumb or range for holding US stocks in TFSA or is it all just personal? 
Another question - for longer term holds in TFSA, what US stocks would you consider?
High 5 for the guidance!!!....Tom

Q: Thoughts on Lulu Lemon? How "expensive" are they relative to peers on a forward basis?

I think their international expansion could be really successful.

Q: Thoughts on this newly public company? Who are it’s competitors in the space? Does management have a good track record? Insider ownership?

Q: Happy New Year 5i,
A question was asked on Jan 04 which I will expand on. Can you rank the following in order to purchase for a 1-3 year hold at a minimum.
AT, XBC, U, FSLY, TTD, PINS, ABNB, CRWD, CRM, WDAY, SNOW, ZM, DOCU
Many of the stocks are in a consolidation period after a sharp rise this year. Of the list, which 5 stocks would be considered a higher risk that they have not bottomed out or a correction may yet be due?

Thank you for your great service.
Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: I purchased GOOS at about these levels but it seems, lately, to be heading steadily in the wrong direction. I bought it believing the china market could provide some strength as it appeared to be returning from COVID earlier than other countries. I realilize that there have been some negativre comments regarding the stock which may have lead to some of the decline. Is GOOS still worth holding or is there a better name out there to switch to?

Thanks for the great advice as always

Dave

Q: Is CELH in any way comparable to Monster Beverage Corp which has amazing stock price performance ? Is it a good time to add ZM ? Would SHOP, JD , KXS enjoy a significant benefit from the RCEP , China & EU market opening investment pact ? What are those companies ( if any ) would benefit ? Thanks a million ? Happy New Year.
