Investment Q&A

Q: I am a 49 year old Canadian with $50,000 Cdn in TFSA and $25,000 in RRSP. I would like some names to build a portfolio. High growth. Risk tolerance high. How much cash should I hold for dip buying. Right now I am overweight TSLA. It seems to me MSFT is a very good stock and I like its outlook and steady growth. A trusted friend recommends TSLA. Please suggest other names including ETFs. Could you rank the names with percentage allotments? 15 year outlook.

Q: Both Zoom and Docusign stocks sold off after earnings were announced. I'm looking for a list of a half dozen stocks that shined during the panemic and the date that they will next report earnings.

Q: Hello 5i,

Could you please list your top 10 stocks (rank in order 1st to 10th) in Canada and the US to purchase now for a 3-5 year hold when considering current and future values?

Thank you
Cheers,

Q: With the 30 year US bond flirting with 1.7% I am wondering what 5i's take is relative to the current discussion about inflation and the taper. Conventional wisdom would suggest selling bonds should tend to move rates up as would expectations of higher inflation.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Q: Thank you for your comments on the earnings report earlier today. I am wondering what your thoughts were of the earnings call yesterday? Was there anything worth noting either positive or negative in their comments? It seemed like the de-acceleration really caught management off guard. It also appears that they may be increasing their investments in sales to get back to what got them there? If so, how would this impact their next quarterly results. Is there still room for good growth through new verticals and geography? Lastly, how close is DOCU from being profitable? Would that help shift stock sentiment despite potential slowing growth?

Thanks for always for your input especially on this type of big swing stock days.

Q: Hi, My respected 5i team
Could you please recommend 5 solid names to buy in Canadian and US markets respectively when there is a market correction? Do you think it is a good time to buy them now during the current market drawdown?
Pls list the names in the order from your most favorite to the least. Thanks in advance!

Q: I am debating which one of these to purchase, both are growing fast, neither are profitable. I am looking for a 5 year + investment. How would you compare these, what merits stand out for you?

Q: Morning,
What are your top 3 choices (Canadian and U.S.A.) small cap value stocks today for a 5 year hold. Thanks.

Q: I have historically held my investments in mutual funds through a financial advisor. I subscribed to 5i Research approximately 3 years ago and made my first investments in equities and an ETF based primarily upon information obtained from 5i Research. The returns on VGRO ETF and my equities have been 2 to 4 times the gain for my mutual funds. I recently upgraded my subscription to include Portfolio Analytics. Based upon portfolio analytics, my current portfolio is reasonably well balanced with recommendations to add healthcare and industrials as well as some international exposure. I have cash on hand that I want to invest. I will hold my investments for the next 5 to 10 years. I am looking at purchasing some additional equities and an ETF with good growth potential at moderate risk. Please provide top 10 recommendations with rankings for stocks that I should consider adding to my portfolio. Please provide recommendations for top 5 ETFs with rankings that I should consider adding to my portfolio. What is your current view on VGRO? Would you suggest topping up my investment in VGRO?

Q: Can you suggest companies right now to pick away at ,or would you wait a bit longer till tax loss season is over.
please 5 in the US and 5 in Canada.
If dividend is important which 3 stocks would you pick away at right now?

Q: Your thoughts on RUMBLE SPAC. Thanks

Q: Canadian Depository receipts - NEO
I have read the article in the Globe & Mail regarding Canadians ability to purchase factional shares of major us companies, similar to US adr's.

Question: If I purchase 200 shares of PFE what exactly do I get? and do I also participate in any dividends.

Are these a viable investment option

Can I have your opinion on CDR's

Q: Are there any reasonable tax loss proxies for these names?

Thanks!

Q: Do you think that Nasdaq stocks are now more attractive as a result of the steep drop in U.S bond yields.

Q: I have been watching KraneShares Global Carbon ETF for a while now as an interesting investment with no correlation to the general market. It seems to do nothing but go up regardless of markets. I have been waiting for even a slight pullback that never seems to materialize and if I buy in at this point I feel like I would simply be chasing the hot money. Do you view this ETF appropriate for a long term hold or is it more for trading? How closely does it track the actual cost of carbon credits and does this correlation decay over time? Can it trade at a large premium or discount to the underlying moves in the cost of credits? I would really like a better understanding of this fund. Your thought and advice. Thanks.

Q: Square is dropping fast, is there a major reason?

Q: Hi Team,
Docusign is dropping like a lead balloon after hours on earnings. Please comment on earnings and the outlook for the company going forward, and should a guy sell tomorrow? Or buy into the weakness? Or just hold? Thanks
Shane.

Q: I guess that a company’s name becoming a verb just isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. I’m really kicking my wounds on this one.
