Investment Q&A

Q: What are your favourite 3-4 high growth companies right now?

Q: Can you please provide 3 companies in both the Canadian and US Market whose valuation and "bounce back" opportunity look compelling to you right now.
Thank you

Q: I would like to buy one of the above companies. DSG's share price is expected to go up nicely in the next year, but it does not appear to have the push the other two have. What would you recommend?

Q: Uber-guru Warren Buffett once said something along the lines of "Better to buy a great company at a fair price than to buy an average company at a great price". After the market pull-back of the last few days, there may be some great companies available at fair or even better prices. Can you name a few?

Q: Hi 5i: I'm still on my quest to reduce the number of stocks in my RIF in the most defensive way possible. In my IT sector I hold:
AIF (or is that in Real Estate?); GIB.A; KXS;
FB; GOOG; RYT (ETF).
Could you suggest the best way to reduce this to 3, say? Any suggestions on how to proceed given the current sell-off? Thanks Roland

Q: Good morning Team 5i,
It looks like a good market correction this week.
What would be your top 5 picks be ( for a 1 to 2 year hold ) over the next few days ?

Thanks
Paul

Q: I have a reasonable balance of these stocks in my TFSA. With the pullback, should I add to a laggard or introduce a new one? Open to ETF as well. Long term.
Have great weekend.
Paul

Q: If I was going to put new money in this sector, which would you recommend
one, both or none? Thanks. Fooklin

Q: I have a small position in otex and I am considering selling for a position in kxs. What is your outlook for each of these stocks for 3 to 5 years? What might be specific risks for each of these companies? What is their financial health and insider ownership? Thanx.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Please provide your stock recommendations (growth companies) for an investor who is interested in making regular fixed lump sum contributions to the same entities month after month . Time horizon for contributing to the holdings is 2-3 years.
Thanks for your great work!

Q: Hi, wondering what you would suggest as best buys this week for short term gains given the decline in many sectors or stocks showing new momentum trends? And any long term holds being offered at a good discount to pick up? Thanks for all your good advice!

Q: Can you give me the actual share count of short interest in Kinaxis? For both the US and Cdn exchanges.

David

Q: Hello team,
Would you have the Jan 15th short interest share count in the US and Canada for Kinaxis?

David

Q: Thanks for the quick answer, further, then to trimming. If you suggest a 20% total in the sector, would you suggest 5% in each holding, or some 6 and some 3? Thanks for the detail!

Q: Am I correct in being a bit nervous about the tech sector getting ahead of itself? I own the above stocks in tech. I have trimmed SHOP from about 12% down to 7%, and I own about 6% in the others, (all with good gains). So - still about 25% tech. I've thought of selling all tech and sitting on the sidelines for a few months, or, just making a trim to reflect a balance. How would you suggest I proceed to further? Thanks, as always.

Q: Hello, I have some dry-powder to put into the market

Was wondering what your current favorites are based on momentum? Are there any that are breaking out?

Thanks for the great service and insight!!

Kuldar

Q: Hello 5i,

I have a unique and complex situation as I worked in the US for half my career and have investment portfolios in both countries with tax deferred, taxable cash and growth free accounts. In addition I carry some significant capital losses. I am 2 to 3 years away from retirement and although I should not be exploiting growth, the lure of using the capital losses is very compelling. I hold SHOP at a full position, KNX & DOL at half a position each, and GUD at a 1/4. My health care sector is also low.

I have a full position to buy with - GUD appears to be the only under performing choice at this time.

What else would you recommend I look at beyond the 4 candidates I have in my current scope.

Thank you

Steve

Q: How big was is this story for KXS with the Toyota contract?

Thanks

HS

Q: I am seriously considering adding 5000 NLN and 4000 PHO to my TFSA for growth opportunity over the next 1 to 2 years. Are the fundamentals sound for both these 2 companies and would you generally be OK with this choice. Do you have any better ideas of how to invest $10,000 in my TFSA with growth being my main objective???

Q: Can I get your present view on this company? Any suggestions for a replacement that might have better growth prospects? Thanks.
