Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, I am looking to build a diversified portfolio across various sectors and am considering adding these for consumer/healthcare/technology. Are these good picks, or would you advise against any of them, and in which order would you purchase? Thanks!

Q: Hi, will soon be making two additions to my TFSA. For long term growth, which of these would you choose, and at what buy price? Thanks for your excellent service!

Q: For a 5-10 year hold within a TFSA could you please provide your top 10 Canadian stocks or CDR’s ranked by total return/compounding potential? For a non-registered account with a 3-5 year timeframe could you also do a top 10 list including both Canadian or US equities (no CDR’s), again ranked by total return/compounding potential? Thanks.

Q: Hi, after holding CVE for awhile and being under water, I'm finally nearly breaking even. After the new MEG deal, I wonder what people might think about selling it to get into other 'growthier' stocks long-term (like SHOP, LMN, PRL, for example, but open to other ideas as well).
Thank you!

Q: My tech component of my portfolio is 43% and want to rebalance my portfolio so tech is about 33%. In tech CSU is 33% NVDA 20% Shop 15% Rest are about 6% to 8%. Is there 1 or 2 I should sell due to overlap? What should I do?
Also is there an argument that shopify fits into the consumer discretionary space?
Also am I missing a tech name?
Thanks take more credits if needed

Q: The dynamic of how business operates in the US has continued to change and there are now new creative
few structures being charged for international
business, most notably this week to American chip manufacturers for exporting to China. To what degree do you see potential for Canadian companies to be hamstrung for US operations in new creative ‘pay-to-play’ ways? It seems increasingly possible that anything is possible, especially where it doesn’t directly impact the US voter base.

Q: Looking to add to a diversified portfolio. What would you pick from this list for 10year hold. Looking for best possible return potential. Is there another to consider that’s not part of this list?

Q: What would be a good entry point for SHOP?

Many thanks as always for your great service.
Joanne

Q: I’m looking at adding a position in one of the above.
Your opinion on the best growth for the next 5 - 10 years.
Thank you for your valuable service.

Q: I'm going through some portfolio trimming. If restricted to 10 growth stocks today, what would be your choices?

Q: My tech holdings have once again climbed to a big part of my portfolio (37%). So it is time to trim/sell some holdings. Can you please rank the above holdings, favorite to least favorite right now. Portfolio allocation recommends 16 %, but i will probably aim for 25-30%. Does that sound reasonable? Tech companies seem to be the ones that are growing the fastest.

Q: Looking at these Canadian tech heavyweights, could you rank what you would buy today for long term hold and why?

Q: What is your highest conviction growth stock for 1) Canada & 2) US. Also, what is your highest conviction ETF? Thank you!!

Q: Hi, all of these stocks look quite over-valued. Please rank them in order of which ones you might start nibbling on, along with general entry prices. I know you don't like to time the market, but there may very well be dips coming up! Thank you.

Q: good morning 5i,
I know that your usual response to selling when capital gains tax is involved is to sell down until you can sleep at night. Well, when I pay taxes I cannot sleep at night? What is the solution? Currently, with Shopify, Nividia, Meta etc, I have very high capital gains. Some are up to 10 or 12 percent of my portfolio. Should I just bite the bullet and sell down to a reasonable holding? or, just sell up through the end of my next tax bracket? I know these are impossible questions to answer. I had a worker going up on my roof the other day and I was surprised to see him having a very lively conversation with himself about how he should or shouldn't place the ladder. At first I thought this odd. But realising the danger of going straight up 30 feet in the air on a bouncy ladder, I thought it maybe not too stupid. Sometimes I feel that these are not the right questions to be asking you, as they are practically impossible to answer. But, maybe we are talking to ourselves like the ladder guy. You always end up having something useful to say, though, none the less.
thanks

Q: So, with the blockbuster results and a strong guidance this morning, SHOP stock is flirting with the $222 high recorded on Nov 19, 2021, during the day's trading.
Amazing !!!

What would you do with the stock, if you own a decent position ( 6-7% : similar to 5i portfolios, after today's 20% jump) from a Technical, Fundamental and Portfolio management perspective ?

Thank You

Q: Earnings look very good. Can you comment after the call with emphasis on what the key strengths are and what potential dangers might be going forward. It seems they are the complete masters in their field and aren't resting on past performances.

Q: I know the conference call has not occurred yet, but can I please get initial comments on earnings.

Q: Hi 5i team,

How significant is WooCommerce’s strong global market share and zero-fee open-source business model as a long-term competitive threat to Shopify’s growth and valuation?

Best,
Matt

Q: Hi there, if you had to buy 3 Canadian and 3 US stocks today that you feel have multibagger potential, looking out 5 to 10 years, which stocks would they be? Not looking for names that high a decent chance to go to 0 either however!
