Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,
My TFSA contains the aforementioned stocks in roughly even percentages except for nominal investments in Park Lawn and DRX. I would like to make my annual contribution to one or some of these companies and would like to know what your order of preference would be for buys/adds at this time. Please also include Celestica in your considerations.
Also, are there any companies in this list that you would consider undervalued at this time?
Thank you.

Q: My only 2 TFSA holdings, held in equal amounts are WELL ( down) and EIF ( up ). I like EIF and hold it in greater amounts in my non registered account where I intend to keep it but expect it will be dead money for at least 6 months while Northern Mat recovers.
Am looking at selling EIF and along with my $7,000 contribution buying CALF , GLXY, and LMN in equal amounts, leaving WELL the largest holding at approximately 40% weighting ; the others at 20 % each. My TFSA is approximately 4 % of my total non registered and RRIF accounts and is not considered material so I wish to rebalance it towards stocks with more growth ( and risk ) potential.

I tend to go crazy with market timing : any advice on how to proceed on the sale and purchase of these? Any potential “ flashing red lights “ with this move ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Please send 3 stock picks for TFSA

Q: I have very small positions in both of these stocks. I am wondering about consolidating them into just one. In your opinion, which would be the best one to hold over the next three years?

Q: Hi I have my RRSP distributed at around 8% or 12% on these stocks, would you change anything , I'm heading to retirement in 7 months from now and like to know if you would recommend any modification. I can sustain drops of 10% , which I handle by doing nothing.
Thank you 5i, you have been good to me!!!

Q: I currently have BBU, BBUC, BN, CRWD, LSPD, MSFT and U in my TFSA account. BN, CRWD and MSFT have shown good growth but I have losses in the other stocks. I will be investing $7000 in my TFSA for 2024. Would you suggest any changes to my current stock holdings? For my 2024 TFSA investment, would you suggest adding to one on my current stock holdings or investing in another stock such as LMN, AMZN or LMN? Thank you

Q: Good day guys ,

thx
Mark

Q: Dear 5i,
I own CSU (10%), LMN (2.5%) and SHOP (4%) in my TFSA.Is it a good idea for me to increase LMN to 5% and SHOP to 6% to increase weight in the technical sector? Is it better to start a new position(s) such as KXS, DSG, or TOI? This is a small diversified TFSA, and protecting the portfolio with some growth is the main goal.
Thank you.

Q: The following is from a recent article in the G&M:

"Investors typically regard a cheap stock as one with a PEG ratio around 1. By that standard, many of the Magnificent Seven look to be reasonably priced.

Amazon (a PEG of 1.3), Alphabet (1.3), Meta (1.2) are on the borderline of cheap, while Nvidia (0.7) looks to be a downright bargain, according to calculations this week by Robert Armstrong of the Financial Times.

Microsoft (2.6) and Tesla (2.1) are somewhat pricey by PEG’s reckoning but not outrageous. Only Apple (4.6) looks like a true luxury item, perhaps because it’s perceived as a superbly managed, ultrasafe defensive stock."

What are the PEG ratios of SHOP, CSU, LMN, and TOI?

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: Good Day,
You have identified the above stocks as all having high growth prospects. Can you please rank them in the order of what you would purchase first today, and risk level associated with each one.
Thank you,

Q: Many years ago I heard Peter say on BNN that one of the best indicators that a stock will outperform the index is when a company initiates a dividend for the first time. Are there any good quality Canadian growth companies that currently do not pay a dividend that you feel are reasonable candidates to start paying a dividend in the next 12 - 18 months?

On the same topic, generally speaking, what would be some of your favourite small to mid cap Canadian growth stocks that do not pay a dividend? Say under a $10B market cap.

Q: In the midst of portfolio rebalancing for the coming year and have another question with regard to composition. I've been reading your comments around the positive prospects for tech in 2024 and want to overweight that sector. I am currently at 18% tech (NVDA, MSFT, LMN). But I also hold GOOG (technically Communications) at 5.46% and AMZN (technically Consumer Cyclical) at 7.39%. Within the context of an alpha-balanced portfolio, would you recommend increasing my tech holdings further, or do you believe I am sufficiently weighted in this sector given my additional holdings in AMZN and GOOG? Thank you.

Q: HI 5I, I like to reduce my tech stocks, I like to keep 5 of them (the ones with more stability) , the rest will sell to buy BN & COST (or any other suggestion) , I hate to let go some of them since they have provided me good gains , but I need peace of mind, and balance, I hate to be in your shoes with this question, please advice, thanks

Q: Everyone, I have held CSU since $110, bought LMN in September of 2023 and do not own any TOI (yet). Specifically, discussing the three names only in my overall group of stocks, my plan is to own 50% in CSU and 25% of each LMN and TOI. Any comments on the strategy. Clayton

Q: This is a question regarding portfolio composition, which I would describe as alpha-balanced. I have chosen not to invest in real estate (as I own a home) or materials (too volatile). I am overweight in Tech (17.5%), Industrials (19.25%) and Finance (22.3%). The other sectors are all at appropriate weights. I am somewhat concerned about having too much allocated to financials and seeking advice. The stocks I hold in relatively equal amounts are: BAM, BN, X, V and HMAX. (I hold HMAX strictly for the out-sized dividend with the expectation of little growth; with a solid dividend here, it frees up other funds to invest in more aggressive companies that don't pay dividends such as HPS.A and LMN.). Long story short: do I have too many eggs in one basket, or do my financials have sufficiently different drivers that you would be comfortable with this imbalance? Any other comments with regard to the strategy behind my chosen portfolio composition would be most welcome. Many thanks.
