Investment Q&A

Q: I also like LULU for the longer term growth potential and the fact they seem to executing well on their plan to get to $12B in revenue by 2026. I'm optimistic about the Chinese growth opportunity, but I did see an interesting WSJ video this week in which they reported that young Chinese have less reverence for Western brands than previous generations. Sharing a bear case perspective for others to consider in their analysis: https://youtu.be/hHOSEFRtaNc?si=biHglaJfBs0yuJ_c

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on EPAM earnings. Thank you

Q: I have some cash to deploy. Do you think yesterday's shift into 'other' stocks is a meaningful moment? I am not looking to sell any of the big US firms (GOOG, NVDA, etc.,) that I hold but wonder if it is an opportune time to put some of this money elsewhere. I am specifically looking at the US market and the move yesterday into RH and the like. Any sectors or specific stock suggestion that might fit this theme would be appreciated. I am thinking of US mostly, but not exclusively. Thank-you.

Q: Hello Team,

Looking at starting a new position in a few of the 12 companies tagged. Can you rank from 1 to 12 on which companies you think is the best to start a new position in. No worries on size, industry or risk, looking for capital appreciation only over the next 3 years.

Thanks again!

Q: Good morning 5i, I've held CCL.B for a few years and until the positive results in the 1st Q this year giving it a bump it has been a slow grower. I'm considering moving on to something with more momentum. Two questions: What are your thoughts on CCL.B for the next 3-5 years?, and if it were to be sold, what are your top picks in the consumer cyclical sector, Cdn or U.S. for growth and ideally a small dividend? I already have ATD and BYD.
Thank you

Q: Hello Team,

I was wondering if you could rank the attached 12 companies from 1 - 12. I have some money to deploy in my cash account and already own all 12 in my TFSA/RRSP. Will be a 3 year hold.

No worries on size, risk or industry, looking for best returns only.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

Interested on which you think will perform better in a crypto bull market? An ETF like IBIT or something like COIN? Also, the fact that I've warmed up to crypto should be a warning to everyone that it's going to fall. :)

TIA!

Q: Hi Peter…I bought some QS early in the year. As of Monday I was down 25%, c’est la vie! Today the stock is up 30%. Apparently Barron’s has a positive report on the company “the’re making progress”. What’s 5i’s take on the company?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Which of ODFL or TFII would you invest in today for long-term hold?

Q: I came across these comments in the Globe & Mail:

“We believe the names enabling more efficient interconnect in segments such as module OEMs, analog and DSP [digital service providers] will drive the second wave of AI investments and are still under-priced for the opportunity set (especially given the run-up in power utilities).”

What companies come to mind that fit this description, and how would you rank them (starting with the best ones first)?

Q: We have held BCE for many years in a RRIF account, generally for income (position size about 2%). Yes the dividend is great and likely to continue, but our position is now showing an unrealized loss close to 25%. I am thinking of selling and moving on to another opportunity that will provide better growth and returns. Comments please. Maybe the money is better placed in GOOGL, also in the communications sector? Or possibly into another USA dividend position? In our two RRIF's we hold ABBV, MSFT, PAGP, BTI. Rio Tinto, along with Canadian companies: MFC, WCP, BNS, TD, LIF, BIP.UN, AD.UN and USCL (for income). Growth may be a higher priority than income. Overall portfolio weightings for all six accounts combined is approximately 50% Canadian and 50% USA plus International. RRIF accounts are relatively small in value compared with non registered accounts

Q: Hi, i have a question relating to increase energy demand from Ai.
Most Belief is that with the increase use of Ai there will be significant demand of energy. But at the rate of our technological advance and improvement of efficiency would it not reduce the energy needed for ever newer chips develop in the future. Therefore it would not have a significant impact on utilities and Renewable companies in the longer term. Can i have your opinion on this? Thank You

Q: I own BITB, ETHE and BITC. I would like to buy Solana. What is the best way to do so without buying the actual currency?
