Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
I'm now down 25% on Unity. Is it time to run to something else?
If so, what 5 names would you recommend?
Thanks

Q: Portfolio Analytics suggests I need to increase my U.S. holdings and communication services allocations as it current says I have no comm. services. 2 part question to help address this gap in my portfolio (feel free to take 2 credits):
1) I currently hold TTD. Do you consider TTD a communication service? Your platform labels it as technology (software) whereas BMO Investorline labels it a comm. service.
2) Can you please provide me with your favorite 3-5 U.S. names in communication services (in order) that you would start a position in today. This would be bought in either my TFSA or RRSP. I am a younger investor that has 20+ years until retirement (defined benefits pension) so would be focusing on growth. A dividend is not a requirement.

I have scanned past answers to look for names you have mentioned recently (somen noted above) but there was never a focused question on just communication services.

Thanks for the fantastic service! I cannot understate how much I have learnt since becoming a member.

Q: Following the recent pullback in a few of these stocks, for a 3+ year time horizon, which order would you purchase at current levels in a TFSA account? Thanks

Q: Please update your "favs" long-term 10 year HOLDS or "keepers", CAD and USD - up to 20 names . Looking for high conviction ideas. I am retired and have no need for income. I would like to check my portfolio against this list and make adjustments as necessary. Could you provide (a) rationale for each, and (b) percentage you would allocate to each.
Thank you

Q: Can you think of any companies that would be potential buyers of Sprout?

Q: Hello 5i,
The above stocks have all pulled back between 13-22% recently.
What order, if at all, would you be adding to the positions?
Thank you
Dave

Q: First of all, thank you for your amazing work. Cannot express how helpful my 5i subscription has been. Life-changing in all honesty.

My positions in LSPD (17.3%) and GSY (12.7%) have gotten a little out of hand. I was fortunate to pick them up near their lows in April. I've already trimmed both a couple of times, but I am really struggling to sell more given the positive outlook 5i has of both for the future. I've seen similar questions asked about trimming and selling positions with phenomenal growth and seen your responses suggesting to trim positions to reasonable weightings. I thought I might have an easier time doing so if you suggested some positions to add to or some new ones viewed as favourably as LSPD and GSY.

I have the following companies in a TFSA and have included the weightings only of positions I think might warrant a second look. While I anticipate a comment about weightings needing to be personal what would YOU suggest as the highest weighting for LSPD and GSY? And, again, please suggest some positions to add to or new ones.

Feel free to take question credits as you see fit.

DOO (2.1%), ATZ (2%), AW.UN, BYD

Thank you again

Q: In terms of largest growth potential for 2021, what u.s. stocks would you recommend as a buy today?

Q: I am a fairly new investor and was wondering your thoughts on when to begin diversifying? I own approximately 15 companies, mostly being TECH and Financial. Recently bought NVDA shares and am looking at U, CRWD and LSPD but not too sure when I should approach other sectors and look at companies like COST or TT for example. I would be targeting my RSP in this approach. (Not sure if that matters)

Also, your must own top 3 US/CND stocks for the next 25+ years for a TFSA?

Thanks for all that you do
Nick

Q: Any specific reason that some growth stocks are falling more than others? U and TTD seem to be really struggling, but CRWD seems to be recovering better.
Would you prefer CRWD because of momentum if you had to choose from the 3?

Q: I want to purchase one of the above stocks for this years TFSA. Could you rank based on upside out a couple years.
thanks Dave

Q: Please give me your opinion on these three company's management team, growth prospects, debt levels, and current valuation. I am looking for a home run over the next two years for my more speculative part of the portfolio. Any other names you would prefer? Regards greg

Q: Happy New Year to the 5i team.

I was hoping to get some feedback about how about to allocate about 11% of my total portfolio that is otherwise well-balanced and is made up of a mixture of Canadian dividend and large-cap stocks, and US and international ETF's.

These purchases will be in my TFSA and I am seeking greatest total return for the next 5-10 years. I am not afraid of risk but am also looking at sound investments rather than speculative purchases or quick trades.

I currently own GH, ISRG, LSPD and XBC and would like to add 4-5 more names. On my short list are the following: CRWD, MITK, ROKU, TTD, TT, U, VEEV and XYL.
Are there any from that list that you think match up well with my existing stocks? Alternatively, if you think there are better names that I haven't mentioned please advise.

Thanks in advance for all the great work you do,
Rory

Q: Happy New Year 5i,
A question was asked on Jan 04 which I will expand on. Can you rank the following in order to purchase for a 1-3 year hold at a minimum.
AT, XBC, U, FSLY, TTD, PINS, ABNB, CRWD, CRM, WDAY, SNOW, ZM, DOCU
Many of the stocks are in a consolidation period after a sharp rise this year. Of the list, which 5 stocks would be considered a higher risk that they have not bottomed out or a correction may yet be due?

Thank you for your great service.
Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: I own these stocks in my RRSP and would like to sell two,using the proceeds to buy them back in a US$ TFSA.Which two would you advise to make this switch? I could utilize DLR.U and DLR to do this and pay the required tax using cash in my C$ TFSA .Can this switch be done directly with the tax being paid separately?

Q: Of these somewhat beat up stocks, do you feel all are buys at current levels and could you rank them in order of preference.
Thank You,
Barry

Q: hi guys : what is happening this morning with this co. huge drop !

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Thank you for your valuable advise on this platform.
Could you please give top five each growth picks in both Canada and US for 2021? (no sector preference). considering best would be first.
Thank you
Merry christmas and Happy new year

Q: This is more of an observation than a question. I am disappointed that you are now recommending "nosebleed" momentum stocks like CRWD and TTD quite often, and went so far to to include some of these momentum stocks in your answer to a question about which US stocks you would add today. In my humble opinion, buying stocks with astronomical valuations that are already up 10-fold or more from their 52 week lows is not normally a good recipe for investment success. It would be especially imprudent to buy such momentum stocks that are not even profitable and trade on the basis of Price to Sales. On the other hand, it is good that you are disclosing your personal ownership of many of these nosebleed stocks: I hope that you will also let your readers know when you sell...

Q: MGNI Wondering what's behind the large jump? Thanks.
