Q: 2 of u favourities,DSG & KXS have a terrific run,with each hitting recent new highs. Is it time to take some profit. Q4 is said to be usually good for tech,but this time around there is a threat of a potential rate hike.While Powell re nomination is largely welcomed by the markets he is perceived to be more hawkish than Brainard,the other candidate,. As a result the tech sector in US & canada were hit hard today including DSG & KXSW.As well DJ only
gained 17 points after earlier gains of some 300 points..U valued opinion is appreciated.Txs for u usual great services & views.

Q: Thanks for your insights in structuring the TFSA for 2022 and going forward, dated October 26, 2022. To transition to the new "alignment", I will need to transfer a number of Technology stock positions, see above, to a trading account, or sell....and I would like your take on this matter as the intention is to transition is DSG and NVDA.
The present TFSA is tilted, well more than that, like 45% + to tech positions, including VEEV. As the TFSA is tilted to growth-eee positions which ones would be better now held in a trading account, aka lower growth going forward....or if there are any that are no longer high conviction, please let me know....Thanks for all the sound/solid insights......Tom

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Quite a positive 5i report on TCS. Would you be OK with either a full switch or a partial switch from KXS (which has seemed to have 'stalled' somewhat) to TCS, which has a better one-year chart? I realize that KXS is a much larger company. I do like the fact that TCS pays a dividend (albeit a small one). What would you aim for as a good entry price for TCS, or would you just enter a market order? Thanks in advance for your continued help and advice.

Q: Your report on TCS states that KXS and DSG are close competitors. I hold both of the latter would buying TCS make sense. How do you see the growth of each in the next few years?
Thank You
Peter

Q: Hi Peter and staff,
Thanks for the great information that you guys provide.
These are the holdings in my wife's TFSA account. I have owned CNR since March of 2020 and have done quite well but I'm wondering if this stock has reached the top of the price range and it's time to move on. The average Price Target is $165. Do you think that CNR still has upside or can you name two stocks to replace it.

Thanks and have a great day
Joe

Q: Hi 5i Team - Are there any Canadian companies in the semi-conductor space that would be of interest to you, including start-up companies, suppliers of materials, and any potential companies on the horizon. I sold my shares in Photon Control some time ago and am looking for some kind of replacement on the Canadian side. If the U.S. is the only way to go in this field could you please suggest a couple of top picks. l already have Nvidia. Thanks.

Q: Earlier this year we created an equal weighted 'balanced' portfolio of 30 Canadian companies in a non-registered account. Most were chosen from companies either covered by a 5i research report or included in a 5i model portfolio. The remainder were chosen, based on the 5i Q&A section, from what appear to be 5i sector favourites. All purchases in the portfolio are made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

As per an earlier question we posed, we then increased our positions in 12 of the 30 companies. At this time we would like to increase our investments in 6 of the remaining 18 companies. The intent is to increase the other 12 in approximately 4 months. Which 6 would you add to today? Please rank them, include a small blurb explaining each choice and suggest an entry point. Thanks!
