Investment Q&A

Q: I have owned this for a few years now. I had to be patient but you seemed to hold it in favour throughout.

I thought my patience was rewarded with good growth in 2025, but over the past few months, it has lost all that growth.

Can you explain what has been going on?

I'm also low in healthcare in my portfolio. This seems like a good time to redress that. What would be your top three buys for a long term holding? Do you generally prefer companies or ETFs for this sector?

Thanks for all the great work you provide. I was happy to renew recently.

Q: Do you know of any reason why Karman is down over 15% today (Wednesday)? I don't see any news. Is it just volatility? Thanks.

Thanks

Q: Would you consider this ETF as a best in class for an investor seeking income? Are there others you would prefer and why?

Q: Hello, can you comment on their latest earnings? Thanks

Q: Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I'm kind of a deer stuck in headlights right now with regards to these software names, notably CUS, LMN, TOI, and with the news impacting TRI this morning. I've largely held onto these names and I'm not sure what to do here. Seeing constant and relentless daily selling is tough to stomach and time will only tell how much AI will impact these companies fundamentals.

In the meantime, what do I do? I don't want to hold onto losers and continue to see these go down further, at the same time, I don't want to sell at these lows. I know trimming some is an option. I have positions in these other names, do you feel any of these are vulnerable to AI severely impacting them? CRWD, SHOP, SRAD, GENI, SPOT

Thanks!

Q: Hello,
Why PYPL has dropped so much ? I'm facing a large loss and i can't declare a tax loss. Do you advise buying more to reduce my average cost ,or should i rather sell even if i can't declare my loss?

Q: Hi 5i, I have a family member who has retired and is interested in buying a growth portfolio of ETFs that is US currency based. They have bought an annuity that will support their lifestyle for 10yrs. If you were building this portfolio what ETFs would you chose and what percentages would you allocate to them?

Q: "Trade Rationale - We continue to like KXS over a long-term holding, but amid the sell-off in software names, KXS has been hit, and while we think it can eventually recover, it may take some time. At this time, we are looking to reduce the size of the position in favour of adding to other names which we think have better secular tailwinds. "

is what 5i said in your recent market rundown piece. Just wondering what stocks or sectors you would be thinking of in particular, US and Canadian?

thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i,

In the event of a sharp pullback in the markets, what would be your top 5 stocks that would be on your radar to purchase?

Putting aside sector/industry/US or CAD markets and with the mindset of a 5+ year hold.

Thank you,

Greg C.

Q: For growth which do you prefer ? VGT seems to have more stocks in small, mid and large cap space but QQQ large cap.

Q: I bought this because I know 5I likes it. Analysts seem to like it too. Do you think this is a good time to add more or perhaps wait? Of course, hard to say where markets are headed!
