Investment Q&A

Q: Could you please rank these five financials for growth for a relatively short time frame of say 2 years?

Q: I need to add a company to my long term (>5 years) growth portfolio. I am tolerant of volatility and risk in this portfolio because I am young and I don’t need the money. Would you go with Goeasy or Shopify here?

Q: At 21.55%, I'm overweight financials. My problem is that I like all my stocks in this sector: BAM (2.9%), BN (4.9%), GSY (4.4%), X (5.2%), V (4.2%). In addition, all save V are in a non-registered account and would incur capital gains when sold.

In my view, all will do well when the market turns. Is there enough difference in terms of their drivers than I can continue to hold all 5? And if you would suggest I (reluctantly) trim, which stock(s) would you reduce? Thank you.

Q: My son has a small portfolio consisting of two ETF’s and seven stocks (CN, AAXN, NVDA, CRWD, DDOG, DIS, TTWO). We have picked stocks that have good potential, but that are also fun for him to follow. He is using the ETF’s to give his portfolio some diversification with 20% in ZSP and 15% in XIT. He is investing for the long term. He now has some extra cash to buy another stock or two. Would you have some suggestions? We are also thinking of selling XIT and splitting the proceeds between CSU and maybe one other stock. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I own the above Canadian Stocks.

Please rate each of the above as a BUY, HOLD or SELL and the reasons for your rating. Thank You.

Q: I am thinking of topping up GSY, PBH, and TOU. Do you see any issues? If I was only going to top up 2 which would you recommend? Thanks. Dan

Q: Growth investor, high risk tolerance, who enjoys dividends as well. Im currently sitting close to 21% in Financial Services, a combination of long held holdings with big gains; GSY, SLF, newer purchases down slightly; ZEB, HCAl, and the newest and worst performer ECN. Stock positions are close to 5% each, I add or trim accordingly, ETF's are smaller. I wrestle with knowing holding good companies long term is the way to outperform, against opportunity costs of holding underperformers and or overweighting the wrong sectors for the year. If you managed your own $, what % would you hold here, if trimming, what order ? Emotionally it's much easier to trim GSY with big gains than ECN at a loss, but then there is the trimming the winner and holding the looser thing?

Q: What are your top 5 Canadian growth small cap picks for a TFSA? and why (what makes each of them worthy)?

Q: Would you recommend using investment money to help pay off a line of credit? That money would be coming from a tfsa. If so, from the list provided, please list the top 5 stocks in order that you would sell?

APPLE and MSFT would be sold at a loss.

Thanks for everything

Q: Q1: What 3 to 5 stocks if added would work well with the existing 17 stocks below?

Q2: Are there any already in this list that you would say (like Jack Armstrong) "Get that garbage out of here" or are they all okay?

AAPL, ABCL, AMD, APPS, ATZ, COST, CRWD, DDOG, DOO, ECN, GOOG, GSY, NVDA, SHOP, TD, TOI, WELL

Q: Can you analyze the level of debt of Goeasy and also the cashflows? Please let me know how much debt there is, the free cashflow, and how you feel about this level of debt to cashflow - low, fair, or high? Thanks.

Q: These stocks make up the Financial portion of my portfolio. I would like to concentrate my holdings (just because you have suggested it in the past). V and FSZ are each approximately 1.5% of my portfolio and the others are each around 2.5%.

I am considering selling FSZ and V in order to buy more of the remaining stocks. Would you endorse this move or given the different types of companies represented should I just stay the course? Capital gains would be owing on V and I tend to hold for the long term.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi Peter.
Can you suggest a few stocks/ETF's with good long term potential ?

Q: I would like to add to my existing positions. Is it too early for KXS and GSY? Is it too late for the TRI (just reached a new high today).
What is your opinion.
Thank you for your help
Regards
Albert

Q: Top growth suggestions for early January TFSA?

Q: How much runway does Goeasy have? Has it much business internationally? Will it need to expand internationally to keep up the high growth rates?

Q: Hi Team,
Since it's near year end, I was wondering if you could list me some of your TOP PICK ideas for a 2023 TFSA contribution. I am looking for long term hold ideas. Thanks

Shane.

Q: I would like to purchase one of these for an aggressive growth account for the next 5+ years. How would you order them best to worst? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
I wonder if you could give us some guidance. My wife holds the above in her RSP, with all being more or less a full position except for ENB at 2X, BCE, CM, and SU at 1.5X each and CHR and DXT at .5X each.
She has until the end of 2024 to convert to a RRIF and currently has $40K to contribute to her RSP and has the room for that contribution.
She would like to invest in some different names, or divest/reinvest in those she has, with an eye to maximizing value before the conversion to a RRIF and to continue thereafter. She's not asking for much - just safety, capital appreciation and income ...!
Based on this info, can you offer any thoughts on new names to add or which of the existing to either pull back on, or dump entirely if that extreme measure seems warranted?
Thank you 5i, and we wish you all an excellent holiday season.
Peter

Q: Witch company would you prefer buying between EQB and GSY as a longterm investment?
