Q: I currently own some ARKG and CRSP. If you were to buy a few more individual stocks in this space and had a long term time frame and high risk tolerance what would you buy?

Q: I believe MITK earnings are coming out later this week and I’m wondering what your opinion is on picking up a small position before earnings and possibly adding to it after earnings. Do you feel earnings could be better than estimates and maybe it makes more sense to buy a larger position before they come out or just wait and buy after we see the results of their earnings.
Thanks John

Q: I’m thinking of buying a position in TRP, for my TFSA. Now that the dust has settled on Keystone I am thinking it seems like a good buy, with a good dividend and the likelihood of an upward movement.

What are your thoughts about this purchase or do you have another company that might fit better into the same scenario for my TFSA.

Thanks John

Q: First of all, thanks for the service you provide. I have found it extremely useful since becoming a member. Second, I apologize for the number of stocks covered in the question. If it is too many, please do not respond / post.
Within the last 12 months, I have purchased the above stocks strictly for growth or as momentum plays.
I would like to know which ones you would sell, either because their momentum has likely peaked, or because their share price growth prospects are poor. Please deduct as many credits as required. Thanks

Q: First of all, thank you for your amazing work. Cannot express how helpful my 5i subscription has been. Life-changing in all honesty.

My positions in LSPD (17.3%) and GSY (12.7%) have gotten a little out of hand. I was fortunate to pick them up near their lows in April. I've already trimmed both a couple of times, but I am really struggling to sell more given the positive outlook 5i has of both for the future. I've seen similar questions asked about trimming and selling positions with phenomenal growth and seen your responses suggesting to trim positions to reasonable weightings. I thought I might have an easier time doing so if you suggested some positions to add to or some new ones viewed as favourably as LSPD and GSY.

I have the following companies in a TFSA and have included the weightings only of positions I think might warrant a second look. While I anticipate a comment about weightings needing to be personal what would YOU suggest as the highest weighting for LSPD and GSY? And, again, please suggest some positions to add to or new ones.

Feel free to take question credits as you see fit.

DOO (2.1%), ATZ (2%), AW.UN, BYD
ATD.B
BMO, BRK-B:US, GSY (12.7%)
WELL (4%), VEEV:US (1.3%)
CAE, DAL:US, AC (1%), XBC (3%)
LSPD (17.3%), KXS (7.6%), DSG (3%), CSU, PHO (1.1%), AMD:US, CRWD:US (2.4%), U:US (2.1%), NVDA:US (0.83%), TTD:US(1.2%)
ROKU:US (1.9%), TTWO:US (1.2%), PINS:US (1.5%)

Thank you again

Q: I am looking for a Canadian emerging market ETF that does not include China (or has only a small proportion) and considers ESG factors. My thinking is that China has already had a pretty good run but other emerging markets have more room for growth. So far I have found EMXC, XSOE, SUES and SUJS which might be suitable. Can you recommend an ETF? and Can you tell me if my thinking makes sense?
as usual, thanks for your help
(sorry if I posted this twice. my computer shut down as i was sending)

Q: I know that you are not a fan of this company. Have you looked at it after there last quarter. To me it just looks like where we will do things in the future and how. Seems to do more than a Uber and a DoorDash. Could it be something in the future like when Amazon and Tesla and everybody told us not to touch them in there early days? Too much debt, no earnings, over valued, to much risk. What do you think?
Thanks Again

Q: Hi 5i team,
I follow a number of communications and 5G stocks. CLFD rose 13% yesterday but I see no news on it. As I understand it, CLFD is more or less a picks and shovels player for fibre networks, providing the glass enclosure. So, I do not know if it has any competitive advantages or not. I just thought I would get your opinion on it. I do not see it in your database.
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: Greetings,

In the SPAC realm this Canadian etf popped up on my radar. What are your thoughts and what is meant by the “arbitrage” that it’s name suggests? Is this specialty etf active or passive? Do you know the managers, if so are they reputable and experienced? Is this more gimmick than opportunity?

Cheers!

Q: In general, concerning Canadian Cies doing business in the USA: how to explain why some Cies allow the dividend tax credit for Canadian stockowners (ex EMA), and why other Cies (ex: WIR.UN) do not offer this advantage?
