Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, BKNG looks like a company that continues to outperform with low capex spending and high cash flows. What would be a good entry point ?

Q: Interested in Aritzia, can you provide a good thesis as to why this investment is worthy of a buy or hold? Capital IQ estimates revenue growth for 2024 to be only 4.6%, how come this is so low? Is the increase SG&A expenses a result of the recent inventory surplus and do you think it will resolve itself within the next couple of months? Lastly, how many shares were issued after initial IPO offering compared to now and with low ownership from management, why do you like the company?

-Thanks

Q: I have recently received $100,000 and as I have maxed out my TFSA, RRSP and RESP contributions for 2024 I will be depositing this into my cash/taxable account. I am looking for tax-efficient growth stocks. As capital gains are taxed lower I am looking for growth with no or low dividend.

Can you suggest 5 - 6 companies?

Thanks for your help,

Mike

Q: I currently hold all these stocks, with the exception of elf. I came up with the thanks in large part to 5i as these are names that have come up in various Q&As. If you had to pick only 10 to hold long term (which for me is 1 year), what would be your ten? The 10 should be those that are the best expected performs regardless of diversification or risk. Just the top 10. Alternately., would you suggest holding them all but with different weightings and if so please comment on a suggested weighting.

My plan was to hold 10 with 10% in each but I’m not married to that idea.

Thank you kindly.

Q: Have the following in a basket. Closely weighted. Looking to add a new similar weighting equity, want to buy and leave for 10 years. Can you provide top 3 suggestions please. As always, thank you.

Q: Would you kindly pick 4 stocks (at least 1 of which is a Canadian stock) that you believe could increase in value by 1000% over the next 10 years. Each must have a current market cap of at least $750M. Please provide a short reason for selecting each stock. Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
Since it's been a little while since LMN announced it's acquisition of some Nokia assets, has there been any more information found on perhaps more of the financial details of this acquisition? I was thinking that somebody must know some details? Perhaps analysts that had been familiar with Nokia might know the revenue estimates of the assets that were sold to LMN? The stock moved up dramatically since the acquisition; almost like someone was in the "know" . Just curious here. Also...at what point would you consider LMN a "buy" again (I had thought it was previously mentioned that the shares might pullback some after the quick run up). The shares have pulled back some in the new year...should I be patient before adding or just buy now? I was debating on either buying either LMN or BN for a long term tfsa contribution and cannot decide which one,

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: PINS was included in a question asked on Jan 1 but could you give an updated answer on PINS specifically? Thanks so much!

Q: Hello,

Looking for advice to invest our RESP contribution this year for my daughter. Time horizon is 17 years. Do you prefer any of these for good growth, or are their any others you would prefer (companies traded in Canada would be ideal)?

Thank you, and Happy New Year.

Q: Looking to add 2-3 names of the above small caps to my TFSA this month.With the exception, of LMN and GLXY all are down substantially. Question. Which have the biggest up side in 2024, for a long term hold. Please rate them 1-8 with short comments for growth and safety,

Q: Been rather quiet on the Cannibas front. How do you like these names once the sector heats up? What time is "possible" for positive federal news in the U.S.?

Q: Happy New Year and thank you for the valuable service you have provided over the last 10 years.
I am considering doing a transfer in kind from my RRIF to my TFSA of both TOU-T and WELL-T. Both are showing a loss in my RRIF (poor timing on my part), but I think a recovery is likely and that they are good long term holds. May I have your comments on whether to do the transfer, continue to hold them in my RRIF, or sell them outright and then transfer cash and add to NVEI-T which is currently showing a loss in my TFSA?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Q: I’d like to know your opinion on Wayfair (W) please.

Q: Hi 5i,
With the recent jump up in stock price for Lumine, would you expect some price consolidation for a while due to the size of the recent acquisition? Or, after this large purchase, are they still able to carry on with business as usual?

Q: Can you compare Crowdstrike’s valuation to Topicus for me? I know they are in different sectors but I am thinking about deploying long term money into one or the other.

Q: Hello Peter,
I recently asked about Topicus and whether i should sell and move onto Lumine Group. You had indicated, given Topicus's valuation, there is no need to sell and move onto Lumine group as the valuation seems to be inline .. I do not want to take a loss but it seems that Lumine group is getting alot of attention. What do you feel is a good entry point for Lumine group as it looks like Topicus maybe just a slow steady stock.. Much appreciated.

Q: I am currently in the negative on T, AMZN, TTD, TCN, NVEI, CPRX, ATZ, ENGH, LSPD, ABNB, WELL, BEP.UN, ROKU, ILMN, SE, PINS, and ZM. I have a 10+ year outlook, however would like to know based on the company and growth potential, what would you Sell or Hold? And if a Hold, please advise your perspective. Thanks!!

Q: Trying to decide which of the two would have better long term upside. If one could only chose one of these for a 10 year hold, what would it be and why?

Q: Can you provide an updated outlook for this name.Also do you know the percentage os shares held by insiders.What do you think of its current valuation?

Q: Hello 5i
If one wanted to jump on the bitcoin bandwagon and go for a ride, would you pick COIN or GLXY? A brief explanation as to why would he appreciated.
Thank you
Dave
