Question 1: When do you plan to add the new positions in the growth portfolio? If you can't share that information, would you be able to share the short list of what you are considering?

Thanks again for your wonderful service and happy holidays.

Q: What are 5 US stocks you expect to perform the best in 2021? Happy holidays and thank you for the great service!

Q: What is your opinion on this company for the next 6 months at least. I bought into this company 3 weeks ago and as we see it has gone up 150% since then and i sold half my stocks on friday. And if you believe it is holding on more or just buying more. thank you

Q: Thanks to your excellent recommendations 2020 has been a record year for my family’s portfolio. Thank-You.
However, I feel like I need to consolidate some of the tech companies I own so when their prices rise I will have more torque. Which of the above companies would you suggest I merge, drop, or even add? Growth is my only objective.
Enjoy the holidays.

Q: Good morning. I bought a significant amount of AT 3 months ago, and am up 750%. This is my biggest winner ever, and it terrifies me! LOL Should I hang on for a 10 bagger, or start trimming? What does your short, medium, and long term crystal ball say about AT? Thanks.

Q: Please rank them based on their moat, starting with the widest moat. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Thank you and happy holidays to all and the very best for 2021.

Q: Hello,

What happened to Acuity ADs this year? Is it market exuberance or have they actually grown 7x? I wish I had stuck with it.. cleaned it out of my portfolio due to too small a position..Can you think of some other small caps with such prospects? Thank you.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: The average P/E of my stock and ETF portfolio (63) reflects the tech/momentum binge I've been on since Spring 2020. I'm considerably overweight in tech yet I'm finding it difficult to jettison or trim any of my names in that sector. Can you please help by identifying 5 of these that you're less bullish on compared to the others? I have a reasonably long investment horizon and good risk tolerance (5 yrs until my children's post-secondary education and ~20 until retirement). Thanks again.

Q: Two weeks ago I asked the following question below.

Can you please confirm that you meant Trane Technologies and not The Trade Desk. I know that the Trade Desk seems to be one of your favourites. Thank you.

Question:
We are looking to adds some US positions to our TFSA. We currently have AMD, DAL, DOCU, BRK-B, and ROKU. Could you suggest 5 growth names for long term holds that you would feel comfortable entering new positions in today? And would you add to ROKU at present? Thanks in-advance.

Answer:
We still like ROKU and thing it can move more. But we would keep weighting/risk in mind. It is the type of stock that moves quickly (both ways). We would suggest: CRWD, NVDA, VEEV, U, TT

Q: AcuityAds is up 35% today. The only news I can find is that it is named to AdExchanger Programmatic Power Players List. I find it hard to believe that this alone accounts for the increase (plus high volume today). Would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks John

Q: Hi
On November 5, 2020 I asked what was the Canadian stock that was like TTD on the US exchange.

Thank you for mentioning AT. It is up 66%.

Sincerely

Mike

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Of the stocks hitting recent 52 week highs, which 5-10 stocks do you have the most conviction in going forward?
If possible, could you list 5 Canadian and 5 American exchange stocks?
As they say, a stock that hits a 52 week high is likely to continue its ascension.

Cheers....

Q: Could you please recommend 10 US and 10 Canadian stocks which have a good upside potential of approximately 50% increase in stock value during next 6 months

Q: The TTD special meeting of stockholders has been adjourned to Dec 22, to allow the company additional time to solicit votes. Can you please provide context/advice as to how I should vote.

Q: Finished reading the book 100 Baggers and it was a great read. Good to know lots of companies achieved these level of returns. You just have to find a few and hold on.

One of the book suggestion is to focus on smaller market cap companies which can grow over time among other metrics. Looking at some of the recent IPO that came to market with 20B+ market cap and SNOW hitting 100B makes you wonder if some of these newer IPO's can get you 100 Baggers returns.

My questions are as follows:
Do you see market cap playing less of a role going forward and investors will just pay up for growth? Maybe instead of putting 10K in the stock you may have to invest 20-30K to get that capital to compound to 1M without having a 100 bagger.

Finally, just for fun if you were to guess at a few name in the US or Canada that has 100 bagger potential what would they be? I see SHOP, TTD and WELL as having a shot.

Thanks

Q: If you could only buy 1 position, would it be TTD or U?
Alternatively, would your preference be to exit a position in Facebook and buy both of these as TTD and Facebook are both driven by online advertising?

Q: I have 2-3% position in DSG, VEEV, WELL, NVDA and BYD and would like to add few more names in RRSP. Please suggest your 5 favorites growth names for Canada and US for long term hold (10 years or more) irrespective of sector that you would feel comfortable buying today in RRSP.

Q: Please list and rank up to 10 US stocks which you see as having the best potential for capital returns over the next 3-5 years. Also, please provide a risk rating for each, using a scale of 1-10 with 1 being low risk.
Thank you for your highly valued opinion which has proven to be excellent for my investment over the past several years.

Q: If you had $75k US to deploy in a TFSA, what 5 US stocks would you consider given today's market & recent run up? Investor profile is Growth with a 5 year time horizon.
Thank you!
