Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning 5i,
I notice that you give lists of stocks. So, I will ask a similar question but perhaps more difficult. If one were interested in building a socially responsible portfolio, I hear that 15 to 20 stocks would do, what would you choose, given the need for domestic, US and International?
thanks

Q: I hold the above companies in my tech sector. Just bought Apple last week. I would like to buy 2 more us stocks for 3+ years . What would you suggest in terms of leaders in their business that combines future growth and some good momentum. Thank you for the great service.

Q: Several analysts have recently issued hold ratings with target prices around 1350. In light of this, 5i still feels bullish about SHOP. Can you explain why and at what price would you increase a position?

Q: Could you please provide your take on pending antitrust legislation in the US against big tech, especially Amazon. I own both SHOP and LSPD and am wondering about adding. My dilemma is I’m unsure if the legislation would be negative as all tech gets sideswiped or positive as it would impair Amazon’s competitive advantage, thus opening the door for improved growth for smaller tech companies. Your guidance is greatly appreciated.

Q: What are your best HIGH Growth ideas in Canadian and US stocks.
I'm willing to accept high volatility and RISK.

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i, thanks for all your wisdom!

Many thanks

Q: is LSPD a shopify in the making

Q: Interesting question/answer on Oct 1 "I would like to have a little fun with this question. Imagine a boxing match between Canadian companies and American companies". Can you please answer the winners among Netflix/Disney; Amazon/Shopify; Union Pacific/CP; AirCanada/delta. Thanks

Q: Hello Folks:
I have 200,000 cash in my account and wondering where best to invest.
I currently own amazon and apple in my tech. sector and considering adding shopify or tesla. Do you have an opinion as to the potential of each of these, or do you have other suggestions? I prefer larger cap companies.
Thanks for everything

Q: I’m considering adding to my SHOP and KXS positions and initiating LSPD and CJT positions. I’m in no hurry and would like to purchase shares that have gone on sale(lol). I’d appreciate your commentary on the likelihood of the impact of two events in our immediate future and their impact on prices. My concerns involve: (1) the coming of winter and the impact on LSPD as restaurants shutter, potentially for good and (2) the impact of the US election if the result is dragged out for weeks in an ugly transition of power. I have no problem buying today, and I know you don’t recommend timing the market as there is always something to worry about, but it seems foolhardy to not consider the impact of events staring us in the face. Thanks for the guidance.

Q: In the technology sector with the increase in prices of each holding I have gone overweight. I have previously reduced weighting. Have taken profits in each of the above. Could you suggest from first to last which you would be more app to sell either all , some or none
DSG up 25%, KXS up 16%, LSPB up 38%,REAL up 15% , SHOP up 7 %
I’ve been rebalancing my portfolio as per tracking and analysis. Last piece of the puzzle.
Thanks again for your excellent service. For DIY it’s excellent esp. q&a

Q: What do you make of the management change? Interested in your take on impact going forward. Net positive, negative or neutral?

Q: Hi crew, what are 5-10 stocks that would be considered disrupters?

Thank you,

Q: Hi,
I'd like to know how you would view debentures on SHOP, how the balance sheet is holding up and where the estimates for revenues going forward are. I am concerned about today's drop and whether or not it is worth holding, or ditching prior to the announcement regarding price for the secondary issue and debentures. Is there anything about SHOP I am missing here? I'm kind of curious as to why it has experienced a 22% decline in the last 3 to 4 weeks, when the tech sector in Canada is down just over 11% in comparison - does this indicate SHOP is falling out of favour compared to its peers? I noticed that in the US, ETSY has had a similar drop, but AMZN, EBAY are less. I had been under the impression that with SHOP's recent work with WMT and many small businesses moving online recently any pullbacks would be less, but maybe SHOP is just that volatile? As always I appreciate any thoughts or comments you have.

Q: Hi, Any insight into pricing of 1.1 miliion shares secondary of common shares and $800mln convertible notes offering by Shopify ? Thanks

Q: I am negative on subject three U.S. companies (FSLY, TWLO, ISRG) While these companies may be good growth companies if held long enough, I would appreciate your suggestions of several U.S. and Canadian companies that are likely to have more near term growth, any market segment and I have much risk tolerance. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - According to my information Shopify has about 120 million shares outstanding. Do you think it is possible or probable that they may do a stock split in order to bring the share price down to a range that might attract new retail investors. Also What is the latest insider holdings information including recent buying and selling activity. Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Much like all tech stocks, shopify has also come under selling pressure recently. Is it still a buy at the current level?

Thanks

Q: Can you suggest me 10 Growth stocks in Canada/US. Time horizon is 10-15 years. Investment style is BUY AND FORGET.
