Investment Q&A

Q: Some stocks you recomend from recent tax sale.(OVER BITTEN)

Q: I'm in the process of rebuilding my portfolio for 2022. It would be helpful if you could share with me a list of both Canadian and American companies that meet the following criteria:
1. They are some of your favourite companies from a fundamental perspective
2. They are currently buying back their own shares.
3. They offer a decent dividend.
4. They run businesses that offer good growth prospects for next year.
5. They currently offer good value.
6. These companies are so solid they would classify as 'core ' holdings.
At least six companies in each list would be appreciated.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude for the support and ideas you have shared this past year. Definitely one of the best advisory services available to Canadians,

Q: Hi,
Currently holding around 25% tech exposure, long term growth investor. If I wanted to de-leverage my portfolio and rebalance to some other sectors, how would you rank these tech stocks?

Do you have any fundamental concerns about any of the names held or is this a good list? NVDA is on my list of names to own as well. Thank you!

Q: Of these 2 stocks, which would you recommend for a 3-5 year hold. Also, feel free to suggest a more preferred pick if you have one. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Research Team -
I've done very well on SHOP & TSLA. Mr. Buffett said buy low and sell high. Would you recommend that as well and transfer those savings to ETF's to protect investments against a possible melt down? If so could you please recommend some ETF's or other transfers.
Thankyou!!! Frank

Q: In view of recent correction I wish to add funds to my existing positions after tax loss selling is over.
Please rank in oder of preference

Q: Hi 5i team,

I recently opened an RESP DI account with Questrade for my 1 year old son. Could you please give me couple suggestion to invest on at current level? I am okay with either EFT or single stock and I have long term time horizon 10+ years.

Thanks,
Irene

Q: Can you comment on why SHOP seems so weak when the markets go up. Today (Monday) is an example. Is there anything going on to account for this? Are you still bullish on it?

Q: Shop is being sued by publishers accusing them of textbook piracy. How much is this weighing on the stock price now and should it be much of a concern? It is troubling that this puts a bad light on SHOP since it is reported that this concern was brought up to SHOP several times in the past with SHOP basically ignoring it.
Would like to thank 5i for having guided us through these past troubled years (and all the years outside Covid as well). Gerry

Q: Hello 5i,

Could you please list your top 10 stocks (rank in order 1st to 10th) in Canada and the US to purchase now for a 3-5 year hold when considering current and future values?

Thank you
Cheers,

Q: Hi, My respected 5i team
Could you please recommend 5 solid names to buy in Canadian and US markets respectively when there is a market correction? Do you think it is a good time to buy them now during the current market drawdown?
Pls list the names in the order from your most favorite to the least. Thanks in advance!

Q: Good Day 5I Team,
LSPD is sold, by which 2 or 3 stocks US or Can same sector can be different industry to replace it ?
Thanks
Best Regards

Q: Can I get your quick thoughts on CRWD and VEEV earnings? Do you still like both for long term growth?

Also thoughts on the VIX cracking above 30? With rates expected to rise in the near future, do you see a shift from more growth to value and more headwind for high growth stocks? I’m holding some high growth names such as SHOP, NVEI, LSPD, U, CRWD, APPS, WELL, VEEV and am a long term investor. Do you still have high confidence in all these names? Have done well but the recent pullback is tough to see. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm new to the service and joined with the hope of finding an unbiased second opinion on my portfolio of stocks. I had the good fortune of purchasing in my TFSA SHOP ($1200); LSPD ($26.31); SE ($149); MELI ($769.45) and continue to hold. This year, not so good, I had purchased REAL ($18.16); ABST ($13.79); AT ($10.36) which with the exception of MX are all currently in the red.

My problem is that given my current YTD is at -13% I should probably shake up the TFSA. However, when I look at each stock individually I just can't bring myself to sell, I love the growth potential of them all.

I'm (obviously) ok with volatility in my portfolio and I do not anticipate needing the funds for 3+ years. I would appreciate your thoughts or ranking of these stocks in terms of growth potential from this point forward. Are there better stock opportunities I should consider out there for my TFSA ?

Thank you in advance.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Lately, I went through comparing my portfolio to 5i Balance portfolio I found that I have to add the following stocks BDGI,PKI and SHOP and I am under weight on AEM,ATD,ATZ,BAM.A,CCL, ENB,TFII. Can you please advise in order which stock consider a good buy at this time.
Also, Can you please advise good buying stocks from the Growth Portfolio.
Thanks,

Q: Today, stocks are on sale. Can you opine on which large and midcap CDN and US caps look like they are being hit for no fundamental reason? Thanks.

Q: Reported today that SHOP's Black Friday sales increased by 21%. Is this good, bad or indifferent? What was expected? As of 9:40am Monday market is up but SHOP is down. Thoughts?

Q: Would you take some profit from shop and sell 1/2 your shares? Is LSPD going to bounce back or is it time to sell? Cheers Brian

Q: Hello Peter,
I know both companies operate in difference space, one ecommerce, other more in payment space. However, can you compare the valuations of both as i am having hard time understanding how shopify continues to defy odds where as Nvei just dips daily even though it produced great numbers. Is it being dragged down by PayPal being in same space. I have a 5 percent position in Nvei. Do you think that is too much for this type of company. I am mostly thinking of a 3 to 5 year hold. Thanks very much

Q: I am not sure how much growth SHOP has in its future. If it can grow to $3000 a share and there are not many companies that have a share price that high then it would equate to a 50% share price growth.
If one was to sell SHOP are there other companies that have a higher growth percentage potential. Appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
