Q: Good morning 5i
I am well diversified in my portfolio and so i am looking to buy opportunistically into this dip. So sectors don’t matter. What do you see as the best opportunity currently? Also, your analysis tells me that i need more weight outside of Canada and the US. With this turmoil would Europe be a good choice. If so, what etf would you use?
Thanks

Q: I have 20K in my TFSA that needs to be invested. Looking for growth stocks which should be at a bargain these days. Which would be your 5 top Canadian stocks at the moment. I do realize that this is a repetitive question so one more time for old times sake.
Many thanks for your guidance over the years.
Regards

Q: Given the recent and continued decline in Teck stocks, can you provide your top 5 Tech picks for US and Canada. Small and large cap??

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Given the recent pull back in the markets, would you please recommend 3 or 4 US stocks with most upside in each of these sectors:

1) tech sector (excluding FAANG stocks)

2) all sectors other than tech

Cheers,
H

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide two or three top picks in each of the following sectors: Real Estate, Consumer Staples, Financial, Industrial. Any market cap is fine but with a focus on mid cap. Also with a focus on Canadian Equities.
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide the names of some beaten down stocks that have a decent chance of recovery over the next year or two. This is a relatively short timeline but I'm looking for companies that still have a good balance sheet, are well managed, have good prospects, and yet have still been caught in the downdraft along with the negative market sentiment. Any sector and any market cap but with a focus on small to mid-cap. Thank you.

Q: I see the US infrastructure plan includes $8 billion to establish hydrogen hubs and enhance hydrogen manufacturing. Since I sold XBC, I have no foothold in the hydrogen space. Is this a good time to invest in hydrogen and can you suggest any possible investments in Canada or elsewhere? Thanks for your guidance.

Q: I have very little exposure to staples and industrials in my portfolio, which is mainly composed of ETFs. What do you think of these companies, which are all rated outperform by RBC? Is KPT a good proxy for staples? If not, what would you suggest? Please rate the other three in the industrials category in order of preference. Thank you.

Q: May I please get your thoughts on the recent results. Outlook seems positive. Thanks.

Q: What would be your current top 5 buys in the US and Canada? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,
In the past month alone NFI has received contracts for almost 600 buses (hybrid/electric) according to the headlines on seeking alpha. Do these contracts actually translate into bus sales?

What is keeping this company down over years? Is it that the dept is to high for the market or that the acquisitions simply have not panned out?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hello 5i, so much doom and gloom and grumpy people, I get it haha but be mad at yourselves not 5i!!

I could have sold Roku Shop and LSPD at all time highs but I also owned them before COVID and topped up near covid lows so not selling on the way up to all time highs in 2021 worked quite well but being greedy and anchored to certain prices did not end well :)

Thanks for all your wisdom over the years I sure wish I listened the many times you stressed keeping weightings at a reasonable level as much as you like a stock I shall try to heed that more often.

Let’s look at this positively if anyone has 5 plus years or more investing how can you not be excited to pick some possibly massive winners for the future. It’s like March 2020 opportunities but some look better and could be even more exciting when things settle down long term.

If you had to pick 5 growth stocks that you could own for the next 5 years the goal of course is capital appreciation and I’m not asking you to pick and purchase the stock today but if you had to pick the stocks today but had the next 12 months to purchase at any pace you want what 5 stocks would choose? Canadian or American sector doesn’t matter nor does risk.

Q: hello 5i:
We're looking for a decent income stock and are considering EIF. We already own about a 1.5% position in AC. Are the companies businesses too similar in that they are both tied to the airline business or is there sufficient difference to own both? And what are your thoughts on the present valuation of EIF?
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

With interest rates going up next month would like to know your thoughts on the short term effect this will have on the above tech companies, will there be a discount after the rates rise.

As always
Thank you
Anthony
