Q: I realize it's not a very long time horizon but of these three stocks, how would you rank them for Capital appreciation over a one year period, thanks?

Q: I hold the 3 following positions : SHOP (3%), LSPD (1.5%) with a 30%loss and NVEI (1%) with a 65% loss.
I want to clean a bit my portfolio, and clear at least one of NVEI or LSPD.
In which one would you prefer to consolidate? Would you even consider consolidate all in Shop or there’s a good case for keeping NVEI or LSPD?

Thank you!

Q: Peter & Team; what are good aggressive picks now for 21 yr old's new FHSA with a home purchase timeline in 5-6 years ? LMN ? NXE ? A combo ? Any other aggressive picks you like given the timeline ? What would be a 1 stock more conservative pick for the same account ? Thank you.

Q: I'm hoping to take profit from ATD and maybe CSU. My weight in CSU is out of hand but I find it hard to sell that juggernaut. I also have TOI and LMN. I'm happy with my weighting of TOI and i plan to add a small weighting in LMN. I'm underweight in the following: SIS, PBH, SHOP, TD, BEP.UN, ENB, T, SLF, AW.UN. How would you rank these names going forward? Would you recommend swapping any of these for better opportunities that 5i covers or are in the balanced portfolio?

Q: As a follow-up to Blake's question a couple of days ago, I see there was a negative report from Piper Sandler to underweight due to recent runup, valuations and reference to elements in 2024, Am now underweight SHOP and wondering whether I should keep accumulating or wait for a pullback. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your great service!

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please suggest 20 Canadian and/or U.S. stocks for a "buy and hold" portfolio in an RRSP with average-to-above-average risk and a 5+ year timeframe.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: With the recent report showing that retail sales seem to be slowing, how vulnerable do you feel these companies will be to downward share price pressure - and your best guesstimate as to what degree and for how long?
Many thanks.

Q: I know you like all of the above for a TFSA - so do I - but need to raise some cash and am struggling with what to sell - is there one you would sell first? or maybe trim 2?
Thanks,
Terry

Q: If you have a crystal ball and the economy starts to shrink, layoffs increase, spending slows and of course, inflation cools while rates come down faster than expected, what would be your top investment ideas over the next 9 - 12 months?

Q: Dear 5i
Could you rate in order of preference the listed stocks for inclusion into a TFSA account . Are there any other stocks you might include on this list that are good at this time for a TFSA account ?
Thanks

Q: Hi Everyone!!

I have made some profit with Shop and was thinking of skimming a little off and buying some Galaxy. I know...we are comparing apples to oranges. Do you think that Galaxy has some good growth potential ahead of it to make this move worthwhile?

Cheers and Thanks,

Tamara

Q: Except for CTS, ATZ, SHOP and LAC all of these, once darlings, are below where they were 5 years ago and all of them are down sharply from their all-time highs. Can you provide your thoughts on which, if any, of these stocks will be able to get back to their old highs and a guess on when. Also, please identify your top picks (ones that you are sure will survive and thrive in the next 2 to 3 years) and your bottom picks (ones that are destined to struggle for years). They don’t all need to go into those two groups, as the future of some of them may be fuzzy. A sentence or two on why you placed these stocks in these groups would be appreciated. Thanks
