Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

These are my energy holdings with TOU 2.7%, TVE 0.61% and WCP 0.48%. They've pretty much been flat for the last three years. Other than the dividends and special div's that TOU pay, what is the thesis for holding or adding to energy currently? I know valuations are low, but what will be the catalyst to get them moving again other than higher energy prices? I have TVK as well at a 3.9% holding and have included that in my energy allocation as well and its been a big winner. Looking at opportunity costs here from holding these energy names vs other names.

Thanks!

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
I hold these securities in a TFSA and am looking to add a new position. At the same time, I will be trimming some of these as they have done very well.
Could you make a few suggestions for a new addition? Growth is the objective and diversification need not be overly considered (I am well diversified within other accounts).
Thank you for providing this great service.

Q: Which stock: HPS.A, PRL, TVK or VHI would have the most growth going forward? I take after today, it's best to wait a few days?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Hi, with shares skyrocketing so quickly, would you take a breather or wait for the correction, or would you still buy at today's prices, in your opinion? Thank you.

Q: I have two entirely different endpoints for my TFSA and my RRSP. TFSA is shorter-term funds to pay down my mortgage, and RRSP - its intended purpose, longer-term funding for my retirement. In this case, would you consider the percentage of each account separately when weighting, or use the combined value? Currently I am separating, but because I own a couple of doubles (NVDA and TVK for example), the position sizes are higher than I would normally hold. If considered together, my positions do not exceed my maximum weighting. Thanks!

Q: Good day,

I've picked up the above on 5i recommendations, and they started as small positions, but have done very well TVK+150%, VRT+200%, POWL +120%, and 3 months on CLBT+45%. I had a bit of usd in my TFSA and put it in CLS last week, already +20%. I assume much of that due to Trumps 'promises'.

Now that these small positions have become as much as say, my initial purchase amount on BAM, is this a thing that one adds to, since my initial buy was lower? Or now that it's a larger position you just let it ride? With 5is help and my own dd, I've been doing very on my winners:losers ratio, but have a hard time determining what is a good point to add in. Are these names worth adding to before they report next? Please rank in order with which you would add to.

Cheers,

James

Q: Hi, for smaller cap companies, what would be your max position sizing for someone that is a medium/high growth oriented investor. What are some criteria's you look at when sizing a position depending on if it is small, mid, or large cap? Beta/volatility, cyclicality? I'm guiding towards 5-8% for larger cap names such as CSU, BN, BKNG, GOOG, etc... and 2-3% for smaller names such as LMN, TVK, PRL, WELL, VHI, ATZ, etc.. I know for more volatile names, a smaller position can have just as large an impact in a portfolio. Thanks!

Q: I own both TVK and HPS.A and have done well with both. Position sizings are approximately the same.
If you are going to add to just 1 position today, which one would you add to?
TVK - todays price is $130 ish
HPS.A - today’s price is $120 ish

Q: Hello 5i
Please tell me the expected 2025 growth rates for the above stocks.
Which order would you buy if different than highest to lowest growth?
Thank you

Q: Looking to invest new funds in SMID CAD. Do not need income - lean to Growth. On a risk/reward ranking, from this list or any others you prefer, please advise where you would focus investments for 3-5 years hold.
Thanks

Q: i've done well in 2024 with a number of 5i canadian small and mid cap picks such as CLS, PRL,TVK, WELL, HPS, etc.
I did similarly well with a number of picks in 2021 only to watch those gains evaporate in 2022.
I know 5i prefer not trying to time the market but i'm watching my 2024 winners trend down, some more than others.
I still believe in the fundamentals of my 2024 winners but if the market is trending down is there not some point one should step aside, take the profit and wait for a new or renewed uptrend?

Q: Happy New Year !
What are a handful of top picks please for this year's TFSA and RRSP contributions? Max long term growth is the goal here.
Thanks very much.

Q: I have too many stocks and am doing a downsizing exercise to reduce the count. Using only growth prospects as a criteria, how would you rank these holdings. I need to consolidate these 4 into 2.

Q: I am only interested in holding Canadian Long Term Compounders. I am looking for companies with decent ROIC, ROE and good balance sheets and preferably owner/operators with skin in the game. In the Canadian space of my portfolio I hold CSU, ATD and TFII. My question is could you provide to me 10 small and mid cap Canadian names that you would feel would make the best long term compounders to hold for at least 5-10 years.

Q: I currently hold the following securities in my TFSA:
AMD - 8.89 %
BAM - 7.76 %
BN - 12.99 %
CROX - 12.59 %
GSY - 16.11 %
IFC - 9.07 %
LMN - 12.16 %
TFII - 9.78 %
TOI - 8.86 %

In 2024 I added IFC and TFII to the portfolio. Thank you.
AMD is the only holding in the red. What is your opinion on AMD's future prospects?
Looking for ideas on where to invest the 2025 contributions. Add to an existing position or take on a new holding?
Thank you for the great service (just renewed my membership)
Happy New Year.

Q: A number of these Small/Mid Cap companies have pulled back recently (other than CLS). Do you consider these companies all buys at current prices? What would be your top 5 picks from this list?

Thank you and deduct appropriately.

Q: With the CAD losing ground to the USD, is it still worth converting Canadian dollars to buy US stocks? If yes, what would be your 5 top growth stocks for 2025?
Thanks

Q: Could you share 2-3 ideas that have the potential to replicate the historical performance of CSU and why you believe in them, CDN or US, or both. Thanks
