Q: Hi 5i,

I have a question about currency as it relates to investments made to the TSX or US stock exchanges.

I am embarrassed to ask given this was likely a rookie move; posting publicly in case it helps others.

I have made investments via my TFSA, LIRA, RRSP and self directed investment account in some US equities (above).

What I perceive now to be a "problem" is that all purchases of US stocks (including those with dividends) were made out of my CA account of said RRSP, TFSA, LIRA etc. given I did not hold any USD$ in my investment accounts.

Yesterday there were a few questions around Norbert’s Gambit approach (which I am not familiar with) and I have since realized the error of my ways. Here are my questions - knowing you cannot personalize responses - but if it were YOU :

- 1) As a Canadian, should the purchase of any US equity always be purchased using US funds in said investment account? OR when available - should you purchase on the CA stock exchange?

- 2) What is the best way to transfer CAD from said investment account into the US corresponding account if one wants to be mindful of fees, exchange rates etc. (is that Norbert's approach?)

-3) What would you suggest I do for the US equities I currently own in CA accounts? Is there anything to do?

Please use any credits you see fit.
Thanks a Million.

Q: I'm confused by your earlier response to Maureen's question today on the risk reward for some companies. I expected NXT and CELH to receive high risk rankings but I did not expect them to receive such low grades for reward. In fact t, a couple of questions later you singled these two companies out as top growth candidates in a 3-5 year period. Did I misinterpret your answer?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Like every investor, I'm trying to maximize growth while minimizing risk.

Q: Do you thing Small/Mid cap companies will do well in next 2 to 3 years?

Q: Hello.

Would you please provide your top 10 investments for TFSA Accounts with a brief explanation - 5 Canadian and 5 USA without concern about diversity.
This is for a long term hold.

Q: Can you share your thoughts on Nextracker Inc? How do you perceive it's current valuation?

Q: Hi 5i

What would be your top 5 undervalued US growth stocks with good fundamentals that you would buy for a 5 year hold?
No specific sector required.

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Would you please please order the tech stocks in order of preference for long term hold with a brief explanation of each.
Would you consider CEG comparable to NEE?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I will be adding to one or more to small existing positions in either VRT, CELH, AMZN, BKNG, and or NXT. Could you please list in order of preference for addition at this time and considering a decent time frame and high risk tolerance. A short comment on the pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Battery storage for renewable energy production in the US is expected to double over the next year. Can I get your opinion on the above stocks as well as any others that may benefit from this?
Thank you

Q: A couple of unrelated laggards...

Is ESTC a show me stock or would you be comfortable with a starter position as of today?

I own NXT but looking to add another position. Do you like SHLS? It is cheap if this solar move has legs. FSLR has moved far and fast. Would you buy into this or pick an alternative at this point?

thx, Mark

Q: Me thinks that spaceship that fearless leader Blaarg is piloting is actually an elaborate can of worms. In 10 years time, according to some environmentalists, we earthlings may be drowning in our own carbon-laced pollution, unless a better solution to or energy needs can be met. As a pessimistic Albertan, I suspect most of us will still be driving evil combustion engines in 2034; however, I am hopeful that there are some game changers in the energy horizon - maybe not Canadian - that may save the planet. Do you have any suggestions we can put on our watchlist? I'm waiting for 5i to beam me up !

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and the Fab 5i Team:

If investing $5K USD today for a three year hold in a TFSA, in which order might you add to these holdings:

ESTC, VRT, NXT, BKNG, TMDX, ASPN.

Thanks very much for your excellent service!

Brad

Q: I purchased these two based on your recommendations. NXT slightly off but it is early days. NXT up 50%. Thank you your guidance. My question is about the volatility of these two stocks. They will trade +/- 5% in a day quite often. Does this kind of movement concern you or does it represent the kind of investor involved in these stocks?

Q: Hi team,

Very much appreciated your solid reply to Brant this morning. I am sure most members are happy the way you run your site.

Grateful if you could provide, in order, your favorite U.S smaller caps for strong growth, indicating the level of risk of each in your view.

Take credits as you see fit.

Thanks again for the outstanding work,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hi Team,
I am sitting on a small position of roblox in a US cash account with a 56% loss. Would you recommend holding this name with expectation of an eventual comeback ? Or is it time to cash out and accept the capital loss? If so what name would be your favourite to buy today with the funds either US or Cnd regardless of sector for a 10yr hold?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Hi, What are your thoughts on Nextracker earnings and outlook ? CC is scheduled for 5 PM. We took a starter 1% position, last week, after reviewing several favorable comments from 5i team. What would you recommend going forward - Add to the position gradually, starting, Tomorrow Or, wait for stock to settle Or, wait for another quarter ? Also, would appreciate decent price levels to accumulate.

Thank You

Q: With most companies having reported earnings, which would be your top 5 with respect to ‘best earnings’? Thank you
