Q: Peter - happy new year to you and the 5i team! Thanks for your great service.

I have been interested in this stock for some time but have held off purchasing shares simply because it seems to be very thinly traded. Today, for example, even with National Bank raising its target to $45.50 per share, there is a bit of a bump in volume but still a $1 spread between bid and ask.

What's up with this stock and how should one purchase shares given its weird trading patterns? I usually use limit orders but a bit hard to find a suitable buy price with this one.

Q: Hi Team,
I am looking for some of your best ideas for a 2021 tfsa addition, US and/or cnd in any sector. I am looking for something with multi-bagger potential long term, that is "expected" to be strong into the new year. So far my tfsa is weighted almost entirely tech, which I am ok with with the focus of growth. I was thinking about XBC, but am not committed to that choice. Thank you for your great service!
Shane.

Q: I purchased GOOS at about these levels but it seems, lately, to be heading steadily in the wrong direction. I bought it believing the china market could provide some strength as it appeared to be returning from COVID earlier than other countries. I realilize that there have been some negativre comments regarding the stock which may have lead to some of the decline. Is GOOS still worth holding or is there a better name out there to switch to?

Thanks for the great advice as always

Dave

Q: Hey, Happy New Year! Long time member since 2013. Looks like we got by another crisis with the lessons learned from you. EIF and FSZ have not recovered yet. Both down about 15%. Your thoughts please going forward. Both in a registered account.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I recently purchased AC, which is in the balanced portfolio, and it has been going down in the past short while. I've a loss of about 20%. I'm thinking of selling it before year end for capital loss though I do not have capital gain this year to offset the loss. I intend to repurchase it after 30 days but wonder if its momentum will switch and moving higher in price in 30 days. Your opinion please. Thanks and a very merry Xmas to the entire team at 5i.

Q: I am light on Industrials and heavy on Tech. Looking to the Balanced Equity P/F for inspiration I see a 29% weight (about my weight in Tech) with 9 names included, twice the recommended weighting. I know AC was recently added but are there one or two names you especially favour, and one that may be on the way out or due for reduction?

On a separate tangent, is there a reason this P/F has no representation in Communications Services or Real Estate?
