Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
I have been currently holding these for awhile and have done well on them, other than maybe WELL, which has been lagging a bit lately. Here are my allocations: WELL (1.7%), SLF (2%), GSY (3.5%) and NVDA (3.8%).

Recently in the last few months, I trimmed some NVDA and bought some VRT (1%) and SMCI (1%). For a growth investor, how would you rank these 3 stocks going forward? Would you continue to trim and buy these smaller cap higher growth names. With the run that they've had, I've been a little more cautious of a slowdown.

Also with these other names I'm holding, I'm contemplating trimming or completely switching to higher growth and better quality names with better runway for growth. What are your thoughts? Trim, add or switch? For example, does it make sense to trim a 3.0% position into two names that are only 1.5%? I'm against diworsification. Thank you!

1. WELL to VHI
2. SLF to IFC
3. GSY to PRL

Q: I have a 5% interest rate on my bank account right now and because of this I'm way more cash heavy than usual. Does it make sense to hold a larger portion of cash when interest rates are so high?

Q: Please rank in terms of growth and risk over the next 1-3 years

Q: Hello,

I'm investing some savings of my mother she doesn't need before many years but we avoid higher risk stocks, she is 75 years.

Actually, she owns BN, GSY, TFII.

Looking to add 1 or 2 stocks to this list. I have been looking to your porfolios and considering ATD, PBH, DOL, PBH, SHOP. CDR could be a nice opportunity with VISA for exemple.

How would you rank them for potential return on 3 to 5 years? Do you see better opportunities?

Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter, It will be nice to get your detail opinion on today upcoming budget from investors point of view via a blog. Just a suggestion.

Q: On Dec 12 '23 you printed a list of 10 potentially improving stocks. With good luck I pulled CCL out of the list and it has done well. Which of that list do you still see as having good potential ?? Thanks Jim

Q: I need to raise some cash. Can you rank these investments from your favorite to least favorite currently please and thanks

Q: Hello
I m wondering if your team has thought about a AI filtering / Help options for your Questions tab ? IMO I m noticing near 50% of the asked questions have been previously answered MANY TIMES OVER. This would allow other 5i members to save times not having to read the mulit requests on the same information.

This feature would most importantly allow the 5i moderator to focus on other NEW Questions, strategize on more / improved technical features (PA) for the platform or infact start to create member reports for the USA positions the moderators in fact hold and endorse.
This issue has really bothered me that many CDN TSX microcap positions have reports and endorsements (even on the 5i X acct) to buy while the 5iii moderatior doesnt in fact own them IE no skin in the game. FWIW many have very poor returns or get dropped from your T.A radar !

Just my thoughts as longtime PA Member

Q: I would like to hear your thoughts on bitcoin miners as we approach the next halving date.

Q: Hello friends,

Still not sure how to handle NBLY's CVRs. Since they landed in my RRSP account, my broker gave me two options: to sell the security or to transfer it out.

My question though is, if I transfer them out, do I still need to sell them explicitly sometime in 2026 or they will transform (hopefully) into $0.61 per share automatically?

Many thanks!

Q: will you buy both or one only and which one?

Q: Hi,
Our NBLY pharmacy shares were bought out and cash received. In our TFSA we now have shares of Neighbourly Pharmacy Inc temp with a purchase price of 24 cents per share with a total value of $168. I got a letter from itrade indicating these shares cannot be in a registered account subject to 50% penalty. Can you please help me understand what these new shares are?
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: Have some cash available to add to one or 2 of the following: CLS, DOL, DOO, GIB.A, IFC, QSR, STN, TIH. For a purchase at the current price, please rank from 1 through 8, for total return over the next 3 - 5 years. I believe you are pretty positive about each of these companies. No concerns about sector allocation.

Q: Good morning,

For a moderately aggressive investor with a two-year time horizon, how might you rank the listed stocks in terms of a new purchase today?

Thanks,

Brad

Q: Hi all...any idea where things stand with the class action against maxar?

Q: Why is the Asset Class of Boralex classified as Energy and Fortis is classified as Utilities. Why the difference? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i. I'm looking add a new growth position in a registered account, 3-5 year horizon, sector not a factor. PRL appeals for its momentum and valuation, GIB.A for its valuation and it sector, for which it seems very undervalued. They are apples and orages but which would you go with today, for growth? Thanks.

Q: Morning 5i,
You may have recently fielded similar general questioning and if so I apologize for the repetition, but here goes. Almost exactly two years ago the market was at a high very similar to its current level and I was feeling very good about my holdings, but things turned south pretty quickly - especially in tech but in other sectors as well - and it's taken me much of the two years since to recover. Granted, at that time I was holding tech names like LSPD, ILLM, EGLX, XEBEC, DOC and WELL which have now been replaced by LMN, CTS, HTA, TXF, TXF.B and I have shored up the non tech end of things with names like BNS, CM, GSY, PRL, EQB, CNQ, TOU, SU, KEY, ENB, EIF, SIS, DHT.UN and MDA but I can't help but wonder - are we approaching that precipice again and if not, why not?
Is the market fundamentally stronger now, and more resilient, than it was when everything looked oh so rosy two years ago? Presently things seem to me almost too good to be true, and I think when that's the case they often are and I would sure appreciate your perspective on the year ahead. (Right now I feel like I should all and go to cash ...).
Thanks, and please deduct as you think appropriate.
Peter

Q: What would be ideal entry points for these two stocks?

Thanks, as always.
