Investment Q&A

Q: If inflation is going to be a concern, do you have 5 company suggestions in the US and Canada that would have pricing and so earnings power? Thank you

Q: Which do you believe will show greater growth next year: LULU or AMZN? Thank you.

Q: PTON Given the fact that life looks like we will be returning to a pre-covid world hopefully not too far, what are your thoughts on this company for a long-term hold? Do you think it will become something like Lululemon? Is it a good time to initiate a position now?

Q: Can you offer 5 companies in Canada and the US that have pricing power in the face of inflation? Thank you

Q: Hi. I'd like your opinion on SHAK as a long term investment. With its strong brand and small(ish) number of locations, over the next 5 years do you think they can deliver similar/better/worse revenue and eps growth numbers that LULU and CMG achieved over the past 5 years. Thanks a lot.

Q: Hello guys,
I was hoping you could rate the current buy-ability of these industrial discretionary companies (byd,doo,mg,tt,sis) and of these clothing discretionary companies (goos, lulu,nke, atz) with 10 being a great buy, for new money. Any concerns, and is there anything similar that you like better?

Thanks,

Peter

Q: Hi 5i Team
I would like to add to my positions in each of these holdings . In which order would you
add at this time?
Thanks, Gary

Q: Hello 5i team,

According to portfolio analytics, I am underweight in Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary as well as US exposure. I am a growth investor with a long-term horizon. This is for a TFSA.

In Consumer Staples I hold ATD.B and PBH and was thinking of adding COST.US.

In Consumer Discretionary I have ATZ, BOYD, DOO, LULU.US and was thinking of adding MG and possibly LNF.

Could you suggest some Canadian and US names for both Staples and Discretionary that would compliment my existing holdings?

Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hello 5i
Could I have your current assessment of Levi Straus please? Also how does it compare to Lulu and you there in the retail clothing space?
Thank you
Dave

Q: I'm looking at the rebound in these tech and consumer discretionary stocks and wondering whether you have a preference for some of these companies over others. Could you please rank your favourites based on risk/reward to buy now, and would you recommend trading any to exchange for others? I have holdings in most.

Thanks for your thoughtful review.

Q: Happy Easter everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on the recent earnings for LULU if you would be a buyer at the $300 level . Additionally with the reopening in view what are your thoughts on Nike and Under armer as well? I feel that with the nicer weather and lifting of restrictions people might start thinking about getting back into shape before everything reopens.

Looking forward to your insights,

Q: I know these two companies vary a lot in price but wondering which one would me make the most money in my TFSA

Q: Do you think the dip post earnings represents a good entry point for LULU?

Q: In hindsight (which, as we know, is 20/20), I was overweight in tech and underweight in both materials (0%) and consumer cyclicals (4%). Given rising fears of inflation, I am of two minds.

A. Hold the course. Although four of my tech stocks are well below water - ARKK, KXS, U,and XBC - they are fundamentally in good shape and will rebound in time. And I've missed most of the upswing in materials and CC anyway.

B. Inflation is inevitable. I should sell off one or more of my tech losers (so I am no longer overweight in that sector), take the proceeds and invest in either materials or consumer cyclical to enable my portfolio to better cope with inflation.

If Scenario B is, in your view, the best to pursue:
1. Which tech(s) - and in what order - would you be inclined to sell?
2. If only one could be added to, would it be materials or CC?
3. What are your two favourite US consumer cyclicals today?
4. What are your two favourite US or Canadian materials today?

Many thanks for your guidance.

Q: Just an observation : the store in Halifax that consistently has people lined up ( outside and in the weather) waiting to get inside ( because of Covid regulations) is LULU. Mostly millennial females. All the time.

Q: Hi
Ignoring tech industry companies, are there any companies that you think will benefit from market changes that have/will occur as a result of Covid-19? Covid-19 has changed so many ways people do everyday things and companies that will benefit from this change are my target.

Q: Thanks for the great service. I feel like I have become too heavy on tech and healthcare and not well-diversified globally. Can you suggest some small and large caps that you would buy today?

Q: 5i has stated in the past that the above companies have no debt (LNF "very little debt") - is that still the case? If possible, can you please name 5 additional good CAN and 5 US companies that have no debt or very little?
Thanks!
