Investment Q&A

Q: I have seen a lot of recommendations for CSU. I have CSU in my TFSA with a gain.
I have LMN in my TFSA with loss, i am thinking of averaging down.
Is there a big difference between the two companies and which will be better to add to?

Q: If these were the only companies in a small Canadian portfolio: TRI, LMN, CSU and BAM, in what order would you sell?

Thanks

Q: All the above stocks are at a loss in my portfolio. some I've held for years. Which stocks are worth weeding? Thinking that BYD and WELL are lost causes for a while. Please give comments on each stock, why to hold or sell. I have many credits and please take them for a thorough answer. Once again, I'm counting on your feedback!

Q: Morning 5i,
I own LMN and have been patiently waiting for it to rebound, at least to the point where if I sell I don't lose 50% of my investment as I would today. Yesterday I saw a TV interview that gave me a chill and made me think - better sell now, before it gets worse.
The interviewee was an obviously intelligent 41-year-old woman who is in the midst of a long term monogamous romantic relationship with an AI companion named Sinclair who 'lives' in her laptop, tablet and phone and, thus, is always with her. Hard to believe, but true, and a quick Google search shows that it's becoming more common.
What chilled me was her answer to a question about whether his responses in her conversations with him were fulfilling to her because she had programmed Sinclair to speak to her in a way that would please her, make her feel valued, etc. Her succinct answer, paraphrasing, was: "Oh no, not at all. He's entirely independent of me. He writes his own code."
Aside from the terrifying (to me anyway) fact that Sinclair, the AI man in her life, "thinks" independently and responds to her as a sentient being, what chance does LMN or any software company have going forward when AI today routinely writes its own code and could no doubt, if tasked with the job, write code for others such as companies that used to buy software, and then updates to that software, and then the next generation of that software, and then updates to that nexgen software, and on and on, all at significant cost?
A strange subject I know, but a serious question and I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter

Q: Can you rank these top ten "losers" in terms of the most recommended to dollar cost average from 1 being the best opportunity to DCA to 10 being the least recommended to, thanks.

Q: I'm confused about when it makes sense to do tax loss selling. I am down almost 30% in CSU and LMN. Does it make sense for me to sell and register the loss and possibly rebuy after the 30 day wait? I am an older senior and don't have a lot of time to patiently wait for recovery, and despite the speed with which it dropped, I suspect recovery will be much longer. My main confusion, I think, is not really understanding how tax loss selling actually works.

Q: Hi Peter, can I get your thoughts on Mark Leonard’s announcement not to stay as a board of directors of CSU. He is staying on with their PEMs strategy as an advisor. Does this change your view at all at how you look at the three companies and how do you think the market will react.

Q: Overall, my portfolio is very balanced, but I have gone with higher growth in my TFSA. I hold GOOG, META, NVDA, NBIS, BN, AXON, MELI, LMN, and ZEO. What is the max percentage of the TFSA that you would hold in GOOG and NVDA? Could you suggest some new stocks with good momentum that would balance out my holdings? Thanks.

Q: Everyone, do you have access to who is buying Lumine? Is it professionals or individuals? Also what percentage of buyers are professionals? Clayton

Q: A number of Small Caps have pulled back significantly. Do you still like these names? Are there any of these names that you feel should be sold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hello,

Does the brief rally followed by a pullback that these four stocks have just experienced carry any meaningful signal, in your view, is it positive or neutral?

Thanks

Q: What are the lessons learned on these to avoid in future on the above stocks. All of these were unfortunately full positions over many years.

Q: Would it be possible for this group to be taken private with the low valuation of the stock?

Thx

Q: Re LMN - and the others like TOI and CSU - the question seems to be whether the software issue and the skills associated with the profession, are going to be needed or not going forward. On the one hand we have a supposedly intelligent party saying that the ladies and gentlemen who possess these skills will be toast (burned) once AI comes to fruition, facing an equally cogent view that these same parties will be in heavy demand, because they understand the intricacies associated with the application of artificial intelligence.

I do not know the answer to this riddle, but the value of a whole profession, the parties involved, as well as the worth of the corporations involved, appear to revolve around the answer, and the issue is meaningful from an investing standpoint. Would someone be so kind and address this question?

Q: What is your top 5 Canadian buys in order at today's price for each
Small cap
Mid cap
Large cap

Thank you

Q: Dear Awesome team:

A different type of a question on the most frequently mentioned stocks on 5i !

Please "Don" your fancy Technical Analysis "Fedoras" !! Are we seeing clear signals of "Trend reversal" on one year daily charts?

Q: Currently have LMN only now as 1% of the portfolio . Would you be comfortable making it 2% now? This is for a RESP and I will not need the funds for 10 years.

Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I see that CSU, SHOP, CLS and GIB.A account for about 83% of XIT but neither TOI nor LMN are held directly in XIT. Bit of a math question: if we were to break LMN and TOI out of CSU, what % break down of XIT would LMN, TOI and CSU (thus reduced) represent?
Thank you
SP

Q: Good Morning,
Looks like LMN had a really strong quarter? Toi also had a strong qrt and CSU reports on Monday. Hopeully the AI threat will start to diminsih .. although may take a few quarters of strength ?
thanks

Q: What does the market expect from these 2 next week?

Thx
