Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I need to consolidate some of the riskier stocks in my portfolio. Of the following on my chopping block, could you rate which would be keepers for the long term (with a hands-on approach) - best to worst - KSI, GLXY, AVGO, AXON, IESC, ROAD, COIN, APP, CRWD? Also, I hold both GSY and PRL. Is it reasonable to let one go in a consolidation? If so, which one - thanks!

Q: Good info from 5i on recent lackluster BEP.UN stock performance.

I've noticed that historic trends for this company's Revenues and Operating Cash Flow seem to be fairly positive / consistent. However, Operating Margin took a hit last year, and Free Cash Flow has been negative the last three years. Is this a concern to you? Is the projected annual 5%-ish dividend increase in jeopardy (next increase is coming up shortly ! ).

Acknowledging the negatives you mentioned in your recent Q&A responses, would the current yield not soon theoretically help stabilize the stock price - especially considering this is a Brookfield....despite as "complicated" as the company is?

Q: As irrational as it seems,Trump may impose tariffs soon after his inauguration just to appease his voting base.A likely “knee jerk “reaction would send these stocks lower.Do you think this would create a buying opportunity?Are there others in your portfolios that could be affected? Some of this uncertainty must be already be priced in,but CLS seems immune to this.

Q: I have read the question history on Quantum related companies and have noted that these 4 seem to be most well known.

Are there any publicly traded, earlier stage (not yet pumped) companies that are worth monitoring for future potential? Not companies you buy today but companies with interesting concepts/potential in this field that could be "next".

Q: Happy New Year 5i team,

I have been holding this name TEAM for several years. It has been underwater for a long period of time until 3 months ago (November of 2024). What is your outlook for this name? If replace it with a better Growth one, what would be your recommendation? Thanks.

Q: Hi there,
Thanks for your past assistance.
I've done well with PRL and I'm wondering if Upstart has the same kind of trajectory.
Do you like this stock short and long term?
If not, can you please recommend an alternative?
Thanks!

Q: I would like your thoughts on NTG Clarity Networks (NCI), a small company that has been profitable for a few years now, and is showing triple digit growth in revenue, EBITDA and profit for 2024, yet trading under 10 times earnings. Today they put out an interesting wrap up of their activity in 2024. Is their concentration in Saudi Arabia a big risk?

Q: I have been hearing a lot of people on BNN and other sites saying that the market is overpriced and due for a decline. I have looked at a few "investor sentiment" surveys online where the bearish sentiment is above average and increasing. How accurate are these indicators as contrarian indicators, i.e. that when bearish numbers are above average the markets are more likely to actually increase, and when bullish numbers are above average, the markets are more likely to decline?
