Investment Q&A

Q: A question for Peter. NVDA, AXON and ISRG are examples of great companies, that you have followed and recommended for years. Which 2 or 3 companies do you have your eyes on, that may become the next group of great companies in the next 10-15 years. A brief explanation of why each of these companies may become great, would be appreciated. Thanks for this excellent service!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I was reading one of your recent responses where the idea came up that small caps are “long overdue” for a run. I’ve been hearing the same sentiment on CNBC and from other market commentators, so it got me thinking.

I’m not fully convinced that something is necessarily due to outperform just because it hasn’t gone up in a long time. I’m not sure how much of this is genuine opportunity versus a narrative around sector rotation. Large caps have treated me fairly well since I started investing, whereas my early experience with small-cap mining stocks was, frankly, a disaster.

That said, markets often move on sentiment and momentum as much as fundamentals. If enough people believe small caps are about to run, they often do — regardless of whether they’re truly “overdue.”

With that in mind, I’m curious:
If you had to narrow it down to five small-cap names to choose from for a potential small-cap run, which ones would you consider most attractive right now — either due to fundamentals, positioning, or momentum?

I realize Nike isn’t a small cap, but if I can’t get comfortable with a small-cap thesis, I’d likely just default to something like that. I’ve also wondered whether a beaten-down name like Krispy Kreme would qualify as a small-cap candidate with rebound potential.

In short, I’m looking for a short list of small caps that could realistically double or triple if the “small caps are going to run” narrative plays out.

Thanks, and I appreciate your insight.

Best regards,

Q: I liked this question from Todd in November:
"I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?"

Can you change "Canadian" to "American" and answer the same way for small/mid cap American companies?

Q: This has come up in questions and answers as a growth stock pick with recovery potential. Can you please briefly comment on valuation and on the investment thesis? Thanks.

Q: My goal is to have $1,000,000 TFSA, currently at $320,000 (CAD) but have $40,000 USD cash in there from trims to CRWD (ty from 2018 <3) and PLTR. For US stocks I own SOFI, CELH, AMD, GOOG, META, AMZN. My plan for my TFSA is put new contributions in CAD and put in your CAD recommendations. But for the USD I have, can you recommend some US stocks WITH buy prices (willing to wait for drops to pick up stocks at a lower price)
