Q: Hi 5i
Lidr (AEye) is not in your data base. They just announced the companys flagship lidar system has been integrated into Nvidia's self-driving vehicle-technology platform.
Stock has made a big jump on this news ....
Looking for opinion on this one. Would it hold any interest to 5i going forward.

thx

Q: " I am increasingly interested in shifting from US to Canadian growth stocks and have been looking a little closer at the 5i growth portfolio as a result. I recently acquired a position in PNG.V and am actively looking for another great Canadian growth story. Could you comment on the company (or companies) you would recommend from your growth portfolio that would be the best bets to put new money to work in the current environment?"

Q: Hi 5i, this stock always trades the same, slow escalator up, earning release: "Net earnings of $13.4 million in the quarter, significantly impacted by share-based compensation.", and then it takes the elevator down.

Please provide review of results and whether it is still holdable or are there better options.

Thx

Q: If you had no money in crypto, what are 6 stocks in Canada and US you would consider for strong growth.

Q: Hi!

I asked the following question about US and Canada names in two separate questions earlier this week, but the Canada one never got answered.

"Could you please share your top 10 Canada names for long-term total return (10+ year horizon)? Can be a mix of dividend yield and capital appreciation, but I'm indifferent as to whether the company has a dividend or not. Also, no need to hit all sectors. Much appreciated!"

Thanks in-advance!

Q: Can I ask you to comment on these three favourites with your best guess on the potential impact of AI on their future growth and earnings? I'm guessing based on previous comments that if ZDC is already using AI it will probably be net positive. For PNG possibly the same? But in the recent 5i report on KSI one of the potential risks listed was if a major customer developed their own in-house solutions….one could see how AI might facilitate that and end up being a net negative for KSI? Just curious if you have any thoughts or have picked up anything from any public comments from any of these companies? Thank you.

Q: Joby and Ramaco are each enjoying extreme price movements but for different reasons. Joby is partly owned by Baillie Gifford and Toyota; however, Ramaco has a fundamental history of success from its metallurgical coal operation. Which would be your choice for a speculative 5% purchase in an otherwise diversified portfolio?

Q: Hi 5i
From what I understand google has changed its AI driven search algorithm which will impact reddits traffic and revenues.
How would you evaluate the risk to RDDTs business and what action has reddit taken to fight this.
Where do you see reddit and SP going from here and would 5i start a new position at this time?
How comfortable, (1-10 rating with 1 being highest) would 5i be holding this one heading into earnings?
thx

Q: Good afternoon,

I’d like to commend 5i on the well thought out updates!

Looking to form a healthcare position. 3-5 positions. Long term growth in a TFSA.
These could be pharmaceutical, equipment etc etc.


Thank you very much.

Q: ISRG has been limping along for the past several months. I am now down 2%. I also note this stock is not owned by any 5i staff. And yet 5i consistently recommends it as one of the solid high growth stocks to invest in for the next 3-5 years. What is it going to take to get the stock moving again...and (gazing into that crystal ball on your desk) how long before momentum shifts and it starts behaving better? Running out of patience here, especially when there are so many stocks out there that are performing better. Thank you.

Q: Crypto. As a retiree, I have stayed away from the whole bitcoin field, and from afar, have watched my nephews exulting in their current success. Even at my age, I am not immune to FOMO. I am not fearful of risk but have stuck to areas that have some form of business that I can wrap my mind around. Like NBIS, and Kraken, thank you very much. If I was to stick my toe in the crypto area, what approach would you suggest? I'm guessing an ETF but which one? Thanks for your ongoing advice, to me and to all your other subscribers. Using 5i guidance over the years, I have a decently performing, balanced portfolio, weighted with RBC, SLF, ENB, the Brookfield gang and the like. A dash of crypto? all the best

Q: Good Morning,

Yesterday you responded to Mark on SBET. This stock has been nothing short or a rocket ship.

It is up 70% in the past week, 120% in the past month and 950% in the past 3 months.

I'm not quite sure how to ask the question, but how/when/why/ would you buy given the very recent performance mentioned above?
