Investment Q&A

Q: What are you suggestions for the best 5 Canadian and American growth dividend stocks

Q: Good morning... Your comments on DUOL's quarter and whether you're still bullish on the company? Buy, sell or hold?

thanks, Mark

Q: Can you confirm when SHOP next reports. I think it's later this week. What is expected and what specifically does 5i expect? It seems to have fallen from your favourites list. Why? What's changed?

Q: Thank you for your calming market update!!

I do have cash to deploy, given the volatility in the market and the significant pullback, what would be your top 5 Picks in Canada and the US with growth potential during the next 2 to 3 years?

Thanks
Tim

Q: If I had a little cash today to buy in my RRSP, which has a ten year horizon and generally follows your balanced portfolio, what would you think would be a good name to purchase based on todays activity?

Q: Good afternoon 5i
A number of people have asked about the best small cap etf. You have sometimes mentioned ijt as a good one. But, lately you have been recommending ijr. In the answers 5i always mentions whether or not someone on staff holds the given stock or etf. I was curious as to wht you would say that ijr is your preferred but not own it and own ijt, though
Thanks

Q: Read the Q&As almost daily for several years now.
Senior, retired and living on government pensions.
My question is about a growth-oriented TFSA cash allocation of about 10k or less than .75% of total equity portfolio. Will not need the funds for another 34 months.
Understand you cannot indicate position size or provide personal advice.
Current TFSA holdings in order of largest %age gain to biggest losers in TFSA is: TFII, TRI, DIR.un, DSG, KXS, LMN, TOI, TVK, EQB, DOL, DOO, PMZ.un, TIXT, REAL, S, HOT.un, EGLX. Top 10 are in excess of 1.50% of position size. Bottom six are headed for exit ramp in due course.
Across entire non-reg and TFSA portfolio am underweight Cons Cycl, COMMS, Industrials, Healthcare and international multi-sector.
Pondering adding to existing or a new TFSA position to add to the 40-plus I already have. So how would YOU allocate this 10K today?

Q: Please comment on results- does this company have the potential to recover and what would be a good entry point?

Q: I have recently become aware of the potentially valuable AI aspect of the otherwise uninteresting (to me) bitcoin mining business. Which firms are best situated to profit from AI?

Q: What 5 Canadian and 5 US stocks are currently the best to buy and hold?
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Under current market conditions, could I have your top 3 sectors to invest in today along with 4 (2 cnd and 2 US) of your favorite names from each sector.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi group what's you top pick in the top 6 sectors.( In order of preference with some dialog on each pick). Is it time to go all in verses averaging down. Days like yesterday should shake loose so supers buys?

Also can you comment on risk (i am 74 yrs old) along with a few stocks or elf suggestions in Bitcoin / digital in general

Q: Could you please comment on the results and status of SBC. Thank You

Q: I wonder if HPS' compensation policy includes SBC annually. If that's the case and we look at the stock's performance over the past 3 years, the stock was $12. in 2022. If the options are vested after 3 years as is often the case or worse if vested 5 years is'nt there a danger of putting a lid on the stock price until the options are totally vested and cashed? I'm worried that the money invested in the past year will be dead money no matter what PE shows. Right or wrong?

Q: I see CI MSCI Canada Quality Index Class ETF (FQC.TO) is no longer available. This was an ETF that seemed to following 5i's investments strategy. It's replacement CI Canada Quality Dividend Growth Index ETF (DGRC.TO) is very different, with a much different sector allocation.

Is there another Canadian ETF that you would recommend as a replacement for FQC, that is similar to the 5i strategy?

Thank you,
CR

Q: What is you opinion on STC update release today? It implies revenue growth is returning for fiscal 2025 (as of July 1) and very low debt leverage less than 1.5 X EBITDA by yearend. Currently trading less than 1x revenues with big free cash flow, it seems like a good buy as new Management continues to execute its turnaround.

Q: In spite of Nvidia’s recent drop, I still find myself quite “tech heavy”, and I’m sure I’m not alone! Thinking of trimming, how would you rank these: NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP.

Q: Hi Group i am light on small caps what is the best way to play it or would you just wait?. If you like a better way than Russell growth/value please advise.

Also light on healthcare /financials/ industrials could you give me you top 2 picks (stock or ETF) in each of these sectors c/w short note on why you like them

Thanks for your help

Q: Hello; Could you please provide some insight on ECN, I own the
stock, is it a buy, sell or old.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Hi Team,
After the sell off of the last couple days now what are 3 of your favourite Canadian stocks you would be keen on buying today for a long term hold, regardless of sector ranked best to least. Also if there are any US names available as cdrs that are good buys today after some extreme selling I would be interested in those to.

Thanks ,
Shane
