Investment Q&A

Q: Hello
Could you please rank your top 10 companies from the list above. Ones that you would be happy to own at a full position. Thank you!

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: All of the above are existing positions in my TFSA. Which three would you suggest adding to today?
Thanks

Q: I need to reduce my technology holdings to balance to the Portfolio Analytics suggested weights. In tech I am biased towards growth and strong fundamentals. Which of the above listed would you sell (if any). Are there any companies in technology that you would consider "must own" names in such a portfolio?
Deduct as many points a you wish.
Many Thanks for you help

Q: Can you please rank these companies in terms of your preference, with a growth perspective in mind, starting from most preferred first?

Q: Kxs has a great run from some $132 in early June to $205 in 8/31,then dropped to current $182.54. My p/p was $174.41 prior to Jun.Thinking of taking profit in light of voliatility,sharp drop in markets in Sep & the negative impact of China's actions & Evergrande.,though Tech is usually good in Q4. Your view please.Thanks for u usual great services & views

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!

Q: Which company, DSG or KXS, would have the best long term ability to help businesses sort out the current supply chain issues. I own both but would like to add to one. From reading all the answers to questions I suspect you like both but consider DSG larger and maybe cheaper. But I don't get a sense of how each one might increase business due to current supply chain issues going forward. Perhaps they are pretty close to being equal, but could you split hairs and indicate which one you think might be more worthy of topping up now?

Q: My hold the following Canadian tech stocks: CSU, KXS, LSPD, ENGH, SHOP, and TOI. Based on your continued support of NVEI and DSG, I would like to add them as well. However, I would like to ensure diversification and so wish to avoid companies that are similar to those which I already own. So my question is, would owning these 8 companies provide me with a diverse mix of Canadian tech stocks?

Q: Balanced Equity Portfolio (Cdn & US Stocks): If 5i were just starting business today what 20 stocks would make up the portfolio?

Q: Hi Folks,
In my non-registered account I hold: ATZ,NVDA,LSPD,TOI,KXS for growth and some blue chippers as well - I would like to add NVEI and possibly sell KXS or would you suggest I just add NVEI - is there more room for NVEI to grow in price
Thanks
