Q: Hello 5i,

Following my SEPT 30th question and joining portfolio analytics I’ve embarked on my retooling. Following some of the great suggestions, still entering haha.

Long, Eq Wt; JPM, BN, NVDA, GOOG, META, NBIS, HOOD, COIN, GLXY, ORCL, AXON.

Starters; KRMN, CLS, SHOP, URI, WMT, CSU.

If this is YOUR U.S. portfolio what are the
next 3 full positions? And 2 starters to build out?

Yours truly, acutely aware of the risk etc etc.

Q: The above stocks make up 80.4% of my holdings. Goog and BN @7% each. The next 5 @ 4% each and the rest at or close to 3% each. For a 10 year horizon, with risk/reward in mind, where would you invest if you had 10% of the portfolio in dry powder- new cash. Any you would sell? Note, I have been trimming CLS, VRT and NBIS to control AI exposure.

Thanks again for all the insights - love the service you provide.

Q: Buying opportunities?

Please give us your best buying CA & US stocks that have been unduly beaten up by this mini correction and hints on your reasonning.

Thanks to you for your great expertise

Q: What are your favourite US and Canadian non-tech stocks at this moment. Thank you.

Q: Firstly, thank you for your services.
Please list “in order” your top 10 US and top 10 CND growth focussed stocks, long term hold.

Entry prices for the top in each.

Thank you

Q: I am debating between adding ENS and HPS.A to my TFSA. They both seem to occupy a different niche in the same industry. Which do you think has a better risk/reward profile?

Q: Could list your top 5 small cap stock picks trading in North America. I do have interest in stocks members of 5i own.

Q: Could you please describe what ENS does and what its future growth looks like? Could you also summarize what in the ENS fundamentals contribute to it being a strong small cap investment?

Q: Looking at the market draw down on Friday, please suggest your 3 current highest conviction US listed and Canadian opportunities for a total of 6. Please state if you would be each one where they closed or suggest a price target if you would wait. Growth focus not safety or income.

Q: What are your top three small cap stocks regardless of sector or country?

Q: Simple question. What are the 5 best Canadian stocks to hold for 10 years that have no or minimal dividends and are not small caps. What are the 5 best US stocks that are found on the list of CDR’s for a 10 year hold.

Q: Oracle's outlook seems to have reverberated through adjacent companies with VRT, MOD, etc., etc., all popping. Ellison has made some pretty remarkable statements about expected growth over the next 4 years, and he does not appear, to me anyway, to be overselling.

My question is about three areas to look at:
1) Other cloud service providers.
2) The nuts and bolts builders of the data centers.
3) Companies in the electrical storage areas that might service the above.

However I have one main caveat, I am only interested in companies that have not had a 1,000% gain in the last 5 years. I know that might seem like a ridiculous criterion, but I keep imagining MOD or STRL investors running for the hills on a serious market pullback.

Thank-you again.

Q: Terravest, Celestica, Lumine, Vitalhub, Hammond power solutions and several other stocks have already been discovered by the market, with their share prices reflecting that momentum over time. In your opinion, could you name 2-3 stocks US and CAN that are still under the radar and have strong potential to surge once they're discovered by the broader market? Thank you for your excellent service and insightful guidance.

Q: With so much attention on EV’s, questions
related to charging stations - and battery suppliers are becoming more important.

I am looking for a basket of companies in which to invest that 5i believes can benefit from these developments.

As part of this theme I am wondering:
1. Where will people recharge their vehicles?
Will traditional gas stations - including companies like ATD.B and PKI - retrofit some of their gas pumps to charging stations?

2. Who will supply the volume of batteries that are expected to be required? As someone said the other day “ right now Tesla owns the “bakery” ....which gives it a huge competitive advantage over the other potential competitors.

Thanks for your help here.
