Q: I have held the following companies for many years, but they've fallen to below 1% of my portfolio. Any names you would sell if looking to consolidate? Any you would add to today?

Thank you!

Q: With all of the fear around software being made obsolete due to AI, are there any particular businesses that you might see as being inappropriately oversold in this mass sell-off? I’m specifically wondering about TOST, as it seems that because it is so integrated into restaurant ecosystems, this would be hard to replace with AI… any thoughts on this? Many thanks.

Q: I have owned this for a few years now. I had to be patient but you seemed to hold it in favour throughout.

I thought my patience was rewarded with good growth in 2025, but over the past few months, it has lost all that growth.

Can you explain what has been going on?

I'm also low in healthcare in my portfolio. This seems like a good time to redress that. What would be your top three buys for a long term holding? Do you generally prefer companies or ETFs for this sector?

Thanks for all the great work you provide. I was happy to renew recently.

Q: What are your thoughts on VEEV recent earning? I have less than 1% in VEEV and have become frustrated with it after 3 years. Who is the leader in this sector? Who do they compete with? What kind of prospect do they have? Add, hold or sell?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i

I have less than 1% in VEEV and have become frustrated with it after 3 years. I noticed that in an answer in June, someone at 5i held it, but an answer in August did not include the disclosure. So either it was sold or it was an oversight. Can you say which?
With the pullback in NVDA ($102) I'm getting very tempted to punt VEEV (S214) and use the proceeds and some of my cash pile to pick up NVDA. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Time's up!
I've had enough of both Veeva Systems and Well Health. Down about 50% in both. Planning to cut my losses in TFSA account (grow for next 5 years) and move to LLY (full position), ISRG (half position).
This will also increase US holdings percentage in this account.

This is a follow up to the TFSA competition with my wife question from last month. :) I'd prefer not be trading too much, but just can't see these 2 companies recovering too soon, and I cannot get the long term price graph of LLY out of my mind....


Comments before I pull the trigger?



Thanks,


Jim

Q: Could you please comment on VEEV earnings? Is it still a buy? If I wanted to replace it with another stock, any suggestions? Thanks.

Q: Help me!
My wife and I have a competition running in our TFSA accounts, which we started a few years back with the same cash balance. She is using the classic passive ETF strategy, except we got pissed off with bonds and moved that portion into QQQ/ICLN (TDB900, 902, 911 & QQQ, ICLN)
I am actively (quite low turnover) trading CDN and US stocks and ETF's
She is handing me my ass!

My current holdings in the CDN account are ATS, BAM, BN, GSY, KXS, XIT, PBH, WELL, WSP and US account AAPL, TFII, VEEV

Ignoring sector allocations (which i still need to look into), please advise any Buy, Hold or Sell recommendations for my current holdings with a 5 year horizon

Q: Some maintenance of my portfolio is long-overdue. I have been sitting on PBH, VEEV, and VZ which are all down about 30%. WELL is down about 50%, MG about 40%. Should I keep holding, or take the loss and pivot to something else? These are the worst performers, overall the entire portfolio is up 20% this year. Many thanks for your assistance.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I'm trying to clean up my US Portfolio so that I'm at 20-25 equities total. Please advise which 20-25 companies you would keep for a 5-10+ hold with balance/diversification but also some growth in mind.
