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: I have held HPS.A for a while and likely was late to the party. The recent recovery has helped and wondering if it's time to make the switch to TRI? Your recent responses seem to be very positive on TRI.

Thanks

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 am still buying and looking around for the best possibilities. Today the motley fool listed the three Canadian stocks they would buy, if they could only buy three. I notice that you seem quite strong on cls these days. And perhaps I see you putting the breaks on for hps. I may be wrong on this perception regarding hps. But, I think you are getting stronger on cls. What would be your 3 stocks Canadian? I am particularly interested in your main reason for liking cls.? It has not corrected. I know you like moment, though. I wonder whether I would’ve put shop in it’s place with the recent drop?

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: You have remained quite positive on Hammond.
Can you advise where their products are produced (I suspect most products for NA are produced in Mexico, therefore subject to any Trump tarries on Mexico, but I may be wrong).
Also do they have the capability of doing some manufacturing in the US

Q: Hi Team,
I hold the following stocks in my TFSA with the indicating weightings within the TFSA. BN (17.5%), HPS.A (6.4%), LMN (18.6%), META (26.3%), SHOP (13.9%), TTD (16.9%). I am looking for advice for what stock I should add for my 2025 contribution. Could I please have your 3 "best" ideas to add to my TFSA ranked in order. I am looking for something solid with high potential (multi bagger potential) with solid management. Another NVDA would be nice (not asking to much here..lol). Time frame would be 10yrs plus ( I am 45 aiming for the dream of freedom 55).

Thanks,
Shane.

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.
