Q: Hello 5i,
If one wants a high concentration of very strong growth stocks and understands the risks involved with applying this type of investing strategy, can you please name 10 stocks that 5i would be very comfortable in owning for this purpose (a mix of USD and CAD)?

Q: Granted that these companies differ in dividend (only with AD), size (DOO largest, AD smallest) and type of business (sports equipment, fashion products, and equity financing to private companies), how would you rank these four stocks for future growth runway today (highest to lowest) if sector was not a consideration? Thanks for your valued input!

Q: Hello Peter,
Here is my list of stox that I chose from 5i Model portfolios and purchased back on March 6 & 9, 2020, with the exception of HMMJ that did not cut the mustard for you to put it in a portfolio. FYI, I was not stoned at the time I placed the order!
These stox are 25% of my portfolio in my TFSA account. Currently, I have another 25% sitting in cash in my wife's TFSA account. The other 50% is in ETF's with CIBC. My goal is to proceed with caution and get all the investments into Questrade.
A little background info for you. I am a retired, cranky, 66 year olde white hair. No debt, live within our means and 3 grandsons that come to our home to visit. We prefer the way that 5i and Keystone go about their business with your buy and hold quality philosophy. Your results over time have been stellar. My question is about tweaking the holdings I have. What are keepers? Which ones can be sold to improve the portfolio? I would like to have this done in September? Sell in May/June and go away?
Thank you for what you do.

Q: Good Morning...I just checked our numbers and we are higher than we were on December 31, 2019 so thank you. We have a small NVTA position (0.6% overall weighting) bought less than 30 days ago but already up 13%. We are long time holders of CSU and our current weighting is 9.3% which is getting close to (or maybe already inside) the red zone. I am thinking about selling some CSU to reduce it's weighting to 8% and using the proceeds to buy NVTA. Would you call this move "risk neutral" or "risk increase"? CSU is a top tier company so it I call it "risk low" and NVTA a lesser tier company so it is "risk high". But does the weighting change balance out the risk increase? I would consider NVTA to be Healthcare so that would help a little to decrease overall IT weighting and increase Healthcare. We own your IT recommendations (CSU, NVDA, ENGH, VEEV are the biggest positions) and Healthcare (ISRG and PFE). It seems both ISRG and PFE are low growth so maybe adding a potentially high growth company might be useful. There are no tax implications. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
