Investment Q&A

Q: Are there 2 or 3 Canadian & 2 or 3 US stocks you would be interested in buying in the current downturn?

Would you buy now or wait until???

Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,

What are the chances of these companies going bankrupt from 1 (highly unlikely) to 10 (highly likely).

Are either likely going to need to issue shares for funding?

Thanks

Q: These are companies that I’ve held small positions in, based on future potential as I could see their businesses being very relevant in the future. Would you consider them worth adding to, with the goal of long term (albeit higher risk) growth prospects?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm down considerably in these US stocks in a taxable account: APPS, DIS, DXCM, EXPI, FB, NET, NFLX, U, and UPST.

I would like to crystallize some losses.

Could you please suggest:

1. The stocks I should sell outright (and suggest a replacement);

2. The stocks I should sell and then re-buy in 30 days (and suggest a proxy); and

3. The stocks I should continue to hold.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as required.

Thank you for your valuable advice!

Q: Do you perceive that Generac is fully priced given, for instance, California’s drought and concomitant energy supply issues?

Q: I have been considering an investment in SYZ to replace my MAL shares .... After reading your report and previous answers it looks to me like I would be getting a company with revenue growth in 2022 of 43% and for 2023 of 80% while collecting a juicy close to 7% dividend .... But a couple of things give me pause .... First Simply Wall Street { link included at the end of the question } claims earnings will decrease by 32.4% per year for the next three years . I am having a hard time reconciling how how revenue will have those lofty growth numbers while simutaneously earnings will decline rather nastily ..... Could you explain please ? And comment on the other risk factors Simply Wall Street cites ? .... Also in another recent question 5I commented that SYZ was susceptible to both inflation and recession more than a list of other companies the member asked about ..... Could you elaborate on that thesis ? .....Thanks for your great service ......

Q: Good morning. What would you recommend for an investment Canadian and US data analytics company or space? Thanks again.

Q: Hi Peter and team.
Significant losses in all of these over last 3-6 months. Would you bail out on any of them and what could I reinvest in 3 CDN and 3 US that have been similarly beaten down but have a better growth outlook ?
Personal account with a fair balance of 40% US securities currently.
Thanks for all the advice
Peter

Q: It looks to me that some good stocks are being thrownout because of fear if you agree which stocks are good buys,not only technologies but others too.

Q: Can you list some CAD companies that are down big right now and would be good long term positions?

Q: I'm down >50% on LMND in my TFSA account, and while the loss itself doesn't alarm me, I'm doubting the future potential of their business model - especially with rising rates. I'm considering selling this position and re-investing into another company that I'm also down significantly on (RDFN) but that I have higher conviction in. Would love to hear your thoughts? Thank you.

Q: Which 5 stocks from your growth portfolio and/or balanced portfolio would you start buying today for a TFSA for a five year hold (for an investor currently not owing any). Thanks.

Q: Whats you thoughts on Drone Delivery today?
Is Walmart making Drone Delivery wake up?

Q: On a question regarding WELL you indicated, the appetite for growth stocks driven by acquisition, with sub $700 million cap have just about 0% appetite right now. If you ture that around, what is there an appetite for now and please give me 5 examples of Canadian companies and American companies that meet those requirements. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i
Aside from a better market backdrop, what will it take for SHOP to regain investor confidence? Is it similar to AMZN a few years ago, where AMZN ploughed all its cash flow into expanding its business, but at some point paused somewhat and showed some big profits?
Thanks

Q: I am currently down significantly on this company. I have a long term investment profile, and don't need the money anytime soon. However, I have noticed in your recent responses on this question you no longer add your disclaimer that 5i staff has a financial interest in it. Have you given up on this company? Is it time to put the remaining capital to work elsewhere, if so what are your current top recommendations as oversold. Thanks
