Investment Q&A

Q: Hello,

The family RESP is composed of 15% VGG and 15% XQQ with the balance spread roughly evenly over the remaining stocks listed above. I would appreciate your suggestion for an additional position. The oldest child is 8 years away from post secondary.

Thank-you.

Q: are these companies in the same space; how do they vary and which do you feel has a better runway?

Q: i often see you use the following phrase :
“it is not a must own in our view”
so in your view give me 7-10 stocks for growth that are a must own in your view,i am assuming the above 5 make the list. dave

Q: Do you know if there is short attack out on Shopify? I sold mine when it was over $500.00 and would like to get back in sometime.. just wondering when would be a good time
Thanks for your opinion.

Q: Hi there,

Between these 2 names, which do you prefer overall?

Thanks!

Q: Would you really buy shop now at this price. Some indicators have it going down to dollars.

Q: I owned Paladin and was very happy with the sale to ENDP, but I, regrettably, held my shares of ENDO until I lost most if not all of my Paladin windfall. You endorsed ENDO and saw future growth there. Now that TSGI has been sold, I am wondering what to do. I realize there is some deal risk and regulatory risk, and I am not fond of the inconvenience of the London Exchange. I am thinking I might sell my TSGI shares and put the proceeds split into LSPD and/or SHOP. I know you see growth in all three, but you have perhaps been endorsing LSPD and SHOP for longer, now. And you took TSGI out of the portfolio (before the sale, I realize). To focus my question, let me ask: How do the two Canadian stocks compare to TSGI in terms of risks/rewards going forward. The 2 for 1 would at least add a bit of diversification.

Q: What is going on with LSPD. It seems to be dropping and CFRA has a Strong Sell on it. Also what do you think about SQ and SHOP for an investment in a TFSA?

Q: Cons Disc [CD] portfolio target is 9%; current holdings 1.5% ea AMZN, SHOP [technically IT, but now more similar to AMZN? if not, then only 3% allocated], and CMCSA. 5+ yrs growth goal. To add and/ or new buys?
1. e-commerce: AMZN, SHOP, others?
2. retail watch list [WList]: advise re LULU, NKE, SBUX, others?
3. TV/ connected WList: DIS, ROKU & TLRA [both IT, but ultimately tied to Consumer spending]
4. Or, XLY and/ or TDB 424 Fund [Entertainment & Communication holds some Cons Disc, but not 100%] or other.
This is a mix but would appreciate your advice with sector allocation.
Thx

Q: Lspd,kxs,gsy all long time holdings
Gsy hit a 52 week high last week and finally seems to be getting the recognition it deserves
Kxs keeps winning new contracts
Lspd keeps getting hammered
My question is what is going on with lspd, i get it is expensive but so is kinaxis and shop
With 190 million in cash, over 50,000 customers where do you feel support is on lspd, and shop down from 545 to 405 in 5 weeks, i want to step in on both but need some guidance. Dave

Q: Hi 5i team, lately there is a rotation from growth to value stocks. Can you name 5 to 10 names of both groups that you prefer. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team, just read a news article on CNN. Which one has the most growth in the future?

Q: At what point do you sell the stock or double up on your share count. The ‘fundamentals haven’t changed’,only peoples perception on its stock price has changed and I have a 5 year hold. I have contemplated waiting for another sharp drop and buy additional shares - like double my present position. OR I thought that if the stock hit the 200 day moving average I would sell. FYI - I bought the stock at $40 ish and sold at $80 ish. Bought again at $100 ish and sold at $150 ish. Finally I bought it again at $180 ish and still own the stock. Like all of us I have owned stocks that went up and down dramatically only to hold on to long, ie Valient.

Q: When is Shopify's next earnings report?
Thank you.

Q: Hi,

Down, down, down. I realize this was (is) overvalued and a growth play and there is sector rotation out of growth stocks. Where might you expect this to bottom out at?

Q: Hi Gang, thanks to 5i I have a nice problem as I got into the above at 60$ CDN (200 shares) but are now very overweight in my portfolio and was thinking of selling 50 shares but have no clue what’s the real valuation of the company is and where it’s going from here, do you have any insight to what the next earnings will bring us in October. Thanks Anthony

Q: Hello,
What is the reason for recent negative momentum on SHOP? anything to be concerned about or is just year end profit taking? Thanks.

Regards,

Q: Trump is threatening to pull out of an international postal treaty.
Apparently, many US shippers use Shopify, and an increase in fees could be damaging. Not sure if this is Trump flag-waving again. What are your thoughts?

Q: Hi there,

Which of these stocks would you be adding to or starting a position in and why? All have pulled back to some extent so my question is which have the most upside assuming I can handle volatility? I am okay with a response suggesting to buy all 5 if you can please explain why each has come down too much and has room to go up. Deduct as you see fit and thanks!

Q: I have a question about Shopify US. Due to price drop in Shopify shares, I sold off 100 shares yesterday morning to maintain profits. I am still holding 50 Shares that I purchased the end of August for 394.00. With yesterday's offering which looks like it will reduce price further, would you advise to sell and buy back at what would hopefully be lesser price or just ride it out.? Thank you.
