Q: Greetings 5i Team,

Wondering if I can get your current opinion on Nextracker? Seems I may have had some unfortunate timing with my recent purchase of this company, as it's now down 26%. Is this some short-term manipulation and shorting by large hedge funds? My understanding is that it has realized big SP pops after the last few earnings releases. In anticipation of a repeat performance in the upcoming May release, might it be a good time to do some buying (ignoring the usual advice that you're not big fans of averaging down)? Thanks. Brad

Q: With US GDP down and inflation creeping up, what is the FED to do now? Cut rates and inflation will increase. Increase rates and economy could crash. Are we headed for stagflation? In these times, how should investors proceed and which sectors do well and don't do well. For a long term investor like myself, how should we position? Thoughts? I'm high on Technology, Financials, Consumer cyclical, and Industrials. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
After earnings release today (APR 25) SP price dropped 12% .....how do you view their outlook for recovery.... is this an opportunity or is risk not worth the reward.... As usual is the current dividend safe and sustainable or is this another potential issue the company must address.

Current shareholder, but time frame is only about 2 years....trying to make decision take loss or hold... Dividend of course is important...

thx

Q: Hi team,

About 6 month ago, you provided a list of 10 stocks you considered "high conviction" buys. Thus, I bought VRT, HPD.A, LLMN. I have no regrets so far....for good reasons.
Grateful if you would provide your actual high conviction list, both in Canadian and U.S. stocks, indicating your order of strongest conviction.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: In your answer to Judith today, you identified four outstanding Canadian stocks that may develop, over time, to be as good as LMN. Could you identify 4-5 US stocks that have similar characteristics?

Q: In any otherwise well diversified RIF portfolio I am considering exiting T and BEP.

I am looking to replace them with a couple of holdings that you feel have far greater upside in the next 3-5 years (realizing that the volatility may increase to some extent but in line with the potential for greater returns).

I have referred to several of your current favourites (which we do not currently hold) as potentials and am open to other suggestions you might have along the same lines.

If you could comment on the elimination of T and BEP and also if you believe any of the listed ones (or others ) would provide a substantially better risk/rewad profile over the next 3-5 years it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Terry

Q: Hello,
Thank you for all your great information.
I am heavily weighted, between LIRA, CASH, TFSA in some of the magnificent 7.
NVDA - 10.6%, MSFT 8.73%, APPL 7.59%, GOOG 7.44, AMZN 4.15%
ETF's - VFV 4.97%, XLK 4.94, ZQQ 3.84
the remaining of my portfolio is split between banks, Brookfield co's and smaller growth stock.
My horizon is decent - and, as you can see, I consider myself an aggressive investor.
My question - I wonder if I should sell and move and if yes, where to move to? Some thoughts.
Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it.
