Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team, what is the difference between buying before or after a split and which is better before or after. Thanks Nick

Q: Hi Team,
Today seen some big % moves by many growth/ tech names; which seemed to come out of no where. Overall, what is your sense on where we are in this pullback? Is it time to start buying some beat down tech names? This being said, if you feel a person should be doing some buying at this time; what are your most convincing buys from todays levels? Some of the stocks I was looking at are SHOP (currently not owned), or add to either of this list which I currently own all: ATZ, TOI, U, RBLX, SQ. Currently I feel like we are watching a major buying opportunity unfold before our eyes...similar to oil stocks a couple years ago and feel I might regret not adding some new funds at this point to some high quality tech names that have been sold off some 50-75% in many names. Also, generally speaking; if a person is looking at holdings that are down say 60% (which I am with RBLX,U, APPS)...should we be doubling down? It seems if not it's almost hopeless to break even from these excessively sold off levels. Deduct as many credits as necessary. Thanks
Shane.

Q: I own SHOPIFY in both my TFSA and in a taxable account at much higher prices. I also have cash in my TFSA with which I would like to buy more SHOP at todays price. I would like to then sell the shares in my taxable account immediately to lock in the tax loss after purchasing extra shares in my TFSA. Is this allowed or does the 30 day rule still apply ?
Thanks for your professional guidance.

John

Q: Thinking of locking in losses for tax purposes on these two. What would be a good proxy or proxies for the 30 day period?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,

From today forward which company do you think could bring the biggest gains?

Thanks

Q: I have a bit of cash to invest in my RRSP which (of course) has taken a beating but I am not losing sleep. I was going to add to BAM.A but then see that I am down 70% on SHOP. In my view SHOP has more upside but is there anything smelly there? If not should there be some insider buying at SHOP? Is there? What would you do?

Q: Which stocks -Canada or US -would you recommend for a 5% portfolio weight, with suggested entry price and rationale.

Q: I hold the following and each one is down to a point where each one represents approximately 1% of my portfolio.

LSPD, SHOP, EGLX, PLTR, PINS, U

1- Should I let any of them go to deploy in the others?
2- Can you please rate them in order of best growth over the next 4-5 years.
3- Can you please rate them in order of lowest risk over the next 4-5 years.

Thanks for all you do!

Q: I'm thinking of selling everything I have and starting over. The only stock I would like to keep is Suncor. Looking for 5-10 companies that will be good solid investments. 3-5 year time frame. Please include at what price you would buy. Take as many credits as needed. Thanks

Q: Taking into account their current valuations, and their individual company risk, could you please rank these stocks in terms of overall risk from high to low for a 2 year time frame:
LSPD SHOP NBLY TOI NVEI WSP CAE TIXT GSY

Thanks for all your work!

Mike

Q: Do you think SHOP or TOI have the most potential over the next 30 - 60 days?

Q: I have sold AMZN and TTD to harvest a tax loss. I will buy both after 30 days. Can you suggest proxies for either or both of these or is it best to just wait it out.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: hi 5i. I usually like to sell in times like these, to lock in the capital loss. I pair trade immediately after the sell, to stay invested, usually. the list is of my losers right now. are there any on the list you would not sell now and pair trade? and, can you provide a recommendation for each for another stock to pair trade with ( I am thinking hut8 for hive, perhaps nuvei for something? dsg for something? or maybe one name can replace 1 or more of the names. I would then most likely buy back the stocks I sold after the month of waiting is over, to lock in the losses. your thoughts/expertise is always appreciated. cheers, chris

Q: Further to Neil's question on May 9, can you list some tech/growth stocks that are looking good at current prices? I would like to start nibbling away with the understanding prices could go lower but with the 30% decline in Nasdaq from high, we must be getting close to the bottom here. Thanks

Q: Good day team,

I know that you always suggest trading/buying into positive momentum but if you were to choose some stocks (regardless of sectors), on both the CDN and US sides, what would they be? As we are all aware, there is a lot of red out there in certain sectors.

Q: Hi, Within less than 9 months these stocks have lost between 55 % to 90% of their value. LSPD took the hardest hit, with TOI, the least in this group. All these companies have been market darlings since their IPO's and still continue to be 5i favourites. We own all these names across all family accounts. Based on your recent comments, these stocks also have very high potential of a strong bounce back, once market sentiment towards Technology sector improves. Question: If these companies continue to execute against their respective business models, and Tech/Growth stocks slowly regain favour with investors - Based on some multiple expansion, what would be a reasonable price range expectation over 3-5 years time frame for each stock and how would you rate them, in order, as best placed or likelihood of accomplishing this. Thank You

Q: Of the 5 stocks listed in this question, do you see today as being a good time to purchase/ add to any of these names? And what order would you rank them, if buying today. Or, are there better ideas out there today that you would prefer? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Hello 5I,
I am down 50% on the above stocks. They are in taxable accounts but it’s not completely necessary for me to take losses necessary. I want to stay invested but am I just better to stay in these names or switch to something else? Basically are these good names to just stay in when things turn positive or do you highly recommend other names?
Thanks

Q: Given the current market sell-off, could you please give me three growth stocks and three value stocks that you believe are seriously oversold and "on sale" at current levels. Would appreciate a line or two on why you are choosing these stocks.
Thanks!

Q: Good morning, Today, what stocks are catching your interest given their current prices? for both higher and lower risk investors. Does DND make that list?
Thanks for your services?
