Q: Hi,

I have a position in Lulu (slightly underwater) and ATZ (slight gain), but wondering if - all else equal - I should sell some Lulu and make ATZ a bigger allocation.

Can you compare them in terms of valuation, growth prospects, and any other general comments?

Also, how do you think the sector and Lulu/ATZ will do in a period of economic weakness and high inflation? My thoughts are that it is discretionary spending so that's not ideal, but also they should be able to pass on some inflation to the end user.

Some anecdotal thoughts - my good friend is a model and just started working for ATZ's new men's line. I asked him what he thought of the men's clothing he said it was really good, stylish, and thinks it will sell well. Take that with a grain of salt, but he's extremely fashionable and if he likes it that's definitely a good sign.

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter & team:

Could you name the order of preference for stocks to be put in TFSA- from most prefer to least prefer. Thank you

Q: Hi 5i; Thanks for your wonderful advice. You have helped my portfolio to grow for many, many years.

What would be your top picks at this time, in each of the following sectors: consumer discretionary, real estate and industrials. I am underweight in these and am looking for growth.

Thanks, your fan
Cathy

Q: YOU ARE smart and patient investors give me 5 five ones you like that have a double in them if market turns

Q: Looking to reposition out of Oil&Gas. The noted companies have been beaten down. How would you rank for a 3 year horizon. Highest to lowest. Any other names you would add to this list?

Q: Not a question but just a comment that companies like Aritzia First Service and Go Easy would never have been on my radar without 5i. I’ve held all three for a number of years in my portfolio and they’ve done well. It’s also heartening and reinforcing to hear the “experts” on BNN Market Call selecting these names as Top Picks or strong recommendations. I appreciate your sound advice and recommendations. No doubt I can also mention losers that I’ve followed from 5i but my take is that it’s up to us to decide when to sell and what to buy based on your data and your informed advice. Thanks

Q: Hi there,

I'd like to start a concentrated version of your balanced equity portfolio that is focused on growth. What are your top 6 ideas from the portfolio are you most bullish on, sector agnostic? The purpose would be concentrated growth.

Thanks!

Q: I have some money to invest and looking for growth over the next 5 to 7 years. Between the 3, which one would you side with at the moment. If you have a better suggestion, feel free to give your insight. Thanks !

Q: Comments on results. Would you add to existing position?

Q: Could you comment on ATZ earnings and future prospects. Thank you.

Q: Just a note of interest about ATZ. I visited one of the mega malls 2 days ago and it was fairly quiet except for Aritzia. It seems to me that people still want their products especially young women. With this in mind is it not possible it could hold up through a minor short recession which is being touted? I would like to add today before it reports.
Much thanks

Q: Hi Gang

Q: Hi group would you add to ATZ (or hold/sell) before results are posted on July 7th what are you expecting on bottom line ?

How do you rate the Fang stocks if you were going to buy only one who would that be? -

what would be a good entry point for Tesla and why

Q: A question on ATZ from the 5i Balanced Portfolio. Winnipeg-based portfolio manager Jamie Murray had an interview published in the GAM on June 25 and he said ATZ has no debt and is buying back stock. Can you please comment on ATZ's debt and are they actively buying back stock?
Thanks!

Q: If you were planning to deploy some new money into a few growth-oriented names today, which names would end up on your shortlist? (CAN or US)

Q: What Canadian stocks would you be picking up today in this selloff?

Q: Hi 5i extremely informative staff! I have been holding these four stocks in my cash portfolio with long term intentions(5 years) for diversification contrary to my desire to have 4plus dividend % performers
They are also down substantially in the last 6 months

Can you please comment or recommend holding for long term or replacing them with suitable high dividend replacements in the same sector if possible
Please deduct the credits that you deem appropriate
Thank you
