Investment Q&A

Q: Your parents give you $100k CAD and $100k USD to invest on behalf of your family for the next 5 years. They instruct you to invest $20k in five Cdn stocks and $20k in five U.S. stocks to hold over the duration. Considering current valuations, the fact this is your family's money, and the objective of maximizing total return over the period, what are your 10 picks?

Q: You guys at 5 i used to be high on a buy for Celsius Holdings. It bounces up and down 2 to 3 per cent almost daily but the overall trend as been lower highs and lower lows. I don't want to liquidate my position because of the international growth opportunities for Celsius and the possible normalization of inventory levels of their "healthy" energy drinks with their distributor who is Pepsi. But the trend is not my friend for celsius. I have traded it a couple of times to bring down my acb but even that is making me nervous. I don't have much exposure to consumer staple nor consumer discretionary (I assume Celsius is considered to be discretionary?) so if I cut losses with celsius, what should I consider as a replacement?

Q: HIVE SHARE PRICE NOW IS $4.42 AS OPPOSED TO $7.12 IN NOV. 2024. ITS SHARE PRICE LOST ABOUT 40% DESPITE BIT COIN GAINING APPROX 10 %. SINCE. REALLY I CAN'T FIGURE WHATS GOING ON. COULD U GIVE ME YOUR OPINION THANKS

Q: I asked this question a while ago, but of course with a question like this, timing is everything..... So again...what are your best ideas for recent, and for no reason, significant dips on stock prices for great companies? (US or CAN). Thanks again for considering.

Q: 5i,

My Taxable Account is CAN only 3 months old. I'm lucky enough to restructure my entire portfolio these past few months for some optimization.

The goal outperformance of XIC. Large and midcap growth primarily. Core moat players as well. I'm shifting back to a more concentrated stock portfolio.

I add underperformers and cyclicals for boosts outside of my core. ie: NTR, TD, LUG
thus far this year.
Core by weight;
CSU, TFII
DOL, DSG, SHOP, WSP
BN, CNQ, STN, CLS, TRI
TVK.

Outside of materials, gold; no retail; no reits. If this was you. Do you add a company that doesn't meet your growth expectation/debt/cash flow etc for balance ie ENB.
Or add to your current.

Looking for your sage advice as well as 2 potential core additions or adds and 2 other high conviction torque. No parameters.

Thank you!

Q: My partner is opening a new TFSA account. What 5 stocks would you recommend for a 10+ year investment today, emphasis on growth?

Q: The 5i team review GLXY in July 2024 with what I understand to be a moderate upside potential with some risk. The stock has gone form $18 to $34. I believe that you still like the stock but maybe for different reasons. Could I have your current thoughts please?

Q: My current portfolio is heavily oriented towards growth and is very high risk. Over the next few to several months I plan on repositioning towards a more balanced approach. I will be looking to add some growing but steady large caps. Toward that end I have the following short list: TR, BN, GOOG, Canadian Banks, SLF, MSFT, NVDA, BEPC. Is there anything in that list that you would not see fitting into that category? Can you please add a half dozen or so of your preferred other names that fit with this idea. Please exclude defense contractors, the Oil and Gas sector and usurious money lenders.
Thank-you.

Q: Dear 5i
Do you prefer PWR or POWL and why ?
Also VHI seems to be one of your top picks for small cap growth stocks but the valuation ie P/E seems quite high . Does its growth rate justify the valuation ?
Thanks

Q: Would you consider Revenue Growth the leading indicator of a companies liklihood to succeed and grow its share price provided properly managed?

Seems todays most successful stock market darlings have all had tremendous revenue growth albeit not necessarily Profitable during their early days of rapid Revenue growth.

If I were to look for 2 or 3 US and Canadian Mid Cap companies most likely to lead the rest of the market with staggering Revenue growth over the next 2-5 years which do you think these might likely be?

Q: I have held HPS.A for a while and likely was late to the party. The recent recovery has helped and wondering if it's time to make the switch to TRI? Your recent responses seem to be very positive on TRI.

Thanks

Q: I am down on these 3 stocks in my RRSP. Do you see future upside, or should I let them go?

Q: The listed companies have used their tech to expand beyond their original business channels to a point that they are woven into the fabric of society. At some point early on they were good businesses with high potential that have risen to levels I could not have contemplated. Looking beyond AI, can you think of three companies out there in any sector that are working on things that have the potential to become central to our way of life in the way that these giants have? These can be well known companies that you think are on the cusp of big things or smaller companies with ideas that are a long shot.

Thanks
