Investment Q&A

Q: I am looking at acquiring 5 stocks based on potential long term return (5 year minimum). From your growth portfolio looking at AT, DOL, DOO, ECN, GDI, MRS and OTEX. Three others I am looking at are EQB, SDE and VMD. In what order would you purchase them and would you purchase them now?

Q: I bought opening positions in these three names a few months ago. I am down on all three and they now each represent less than 1%. I'd like to consolidate by eliminating one. Which one would you sell? Which one of the two remaining ones would you boost with the proceeds today?

Q: Acuityads is down for the last 9 days (it seems the highest number of down days). Any news that will justify the relentless sale?

Q: when can we expect to receive the cash after the sale of Photon, and what do you suggest to replace it. thanks, Jean

Q: I sold all the PHO stock in my TFSA account (5000 shares). I would like to replace it with a high growth stock. What is your suggestions?
Thanks

Q: How would you characterize and rank the respective valuations and growth potentials for these 4 companies? Other suggestions for growth and diversification in an otherwise pipeline, bank, insurance company and telecomm-heavy retirement portfolio?

Q: Hi,

Can you compare and contrast AT vs WISH? I realize WISH would be considered much riskier due to market cap and and even length of time being a public company.

But I am interested to know if one has a competitive advantage over the other, are expected growth rates for next several years are substantially different between the two.

Would it be too much overlap to have small positions in both companies?

thank you for all you do,
Brad

Q: What is the prognosis on this company? And is this a good time to buy in and if so, how large a position? Thanks

Q: Hi,

If you could own only one today, which one would you choose?

Risk and sector allocation are not a concern.

Thanks,

Q: What would the main Pros and Cons of buying AT.TO over TTD today, thinking about a long term hold where growth is the main objective? Also, there were a lot of AT.TO insider sales at the end of last year...is that a concern or have reasons for that been addressed?
Thanks for the great service
Marc

Q: Hello Peter,
I have GDI in my TFSA account and have done well so far.
Thank you.
However, I feel there is not much growth in the future and am considering replacing it with either EGLX or AT. The hesitancy stems due to the old adage - don't fix if it ain't broken. From a reward perspective, is the increase in risk justified ? I would appreciate your selection amongst the three for the TFSA. Subsequently , a preference amongst the remaining two for a margin account.
Do you consider GDI a growthy stock with a dividend yield?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hi 5i Team - In checking Ink Insider reports I've noticed that there's been a lot of selling by officers and directors in the past few months. Do you have any concerns about this and what percentage of shares are held by Insiders today. Also are there are any other fundamentals that you think are particularly important. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,

I didn't see any news to account for these moves today? Is there anything you know of?


Thanks

Q: I am looking to add 1/4 positions in my growth portfolio with AT and NVEI. Or I could add to my half positions in U, CRWD or NVDA. I would like your thoughts on which is better at this time for long term growth. I am underweighted in US stocks. Thanks

Q: Hi Awesome 5i team, I have some cash to invest, in Canada, I am thinking of "AT", "GSY" &"CTS", some of these names are at all time high, could you please rank them from risk/growth perspective. Given recent volatility of the market, could you please provide a good entry point if you will.

For US, please also provide three names that are growth oriented, and three reflationary driven. All are for long term investment.

Thanks,

Q: Hi,
Currently both small weightings now in my portfolio because of the decline in stock price. Which do you think has higher growth potential long term? 3-5+ yrs. Looking to reduce XBC and pick up more AT. Or would you hold both equally between a 1-2% weight? I see you just added AT so I'm assuming you have more confidence in this name?

Thanks!

Q: Could you please rank in order for long term growth potential? I already hold positions in MGNI & TTD and wondering if it’s worth dropping one in favour of AT.
Thanks

Q: Hi,

These stocks listed make up the core position of my Canadian and US holdings.

Would you consider this list to be a good one for a 3-5 year plus time horizon? I am able to tolerate high risk .

Thanks

Q: I am looking at what to do with cash in my TFSA once cash from PHO is available. (nice gain -thank you !)
Shown below are existing positions in my TFSA that are in negative or small positive territory. My portfolio has a good weighting in tech, so staying in that sector not necessary. Would appreciate your thoughts on which of these (if any) you would choose to add to and in what priority. As always, thank you .
QST ( -24%, currently 0.8 % of total portfolio)
XBC ( -32%, currently 2 % of total portfolio)
AT (0%, currently 1.25% of total portfolio)
EGLX (+4%, currently 1.45 % of total portfolio)
MRS (+4%, currently 0.3 % of total portfolio)
U (-25%, currently 1.4% of total portfolio)

Q: Could you please compare these companies, both in the same business, current valuation and future growth. Which would you buy, would you buy either?
