Investment Q&A

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

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!

Q: Overall happy with my portfolio, shifted some riskier holdings to more largecap/div arristocrat ETFs to ride out the fun so far this year. Wondering if we are getting to good timing for shifting some assets to more aggresive/targeted holdings. I would like to sell some VIG and replace it with something else. Say 2X 2% positions. What 2 holdings would you buy right now in a registered account to replace VIG, or would you justt continue to hold VIG at this time. Only restriction is to not be canadian but could be CAD$ fund or ETF. Some options I am considering are rbf1067 or XEF for 1 position and the other a US or global/china play stock like baba. Looking for momentum upside as compared to VIG.

Q: Room in my TFSA for only one of the above-noted stocks. Please rank in order of preference and offer a brief explanation as to the ranking. Thank you.

Q: 23 year-old slowly building out his TFSA. GSY (23%), KXS (19%) and LSPD (29%) now dominate weightings with PHO, PBH, REAL, BAM.A and CNR being between 5%-7% each. Going to trim GSY/KXS/LSPD back to 10% each and use the funds to purchase four new positions. Given this is a long-term hold could you suggest your favourite 5 or 6 (Canadian or US) growth stocks or those with potential to be the next SHOP in order of preference and why? Many thanks for your always astute insights.

Q: Hi Peter,
could you pleas give four Growth stocks( no sector preference) each in Canada and US for long term hold like 5-10 yrs.
Thanks,
KT

Q: Hi there,
From my understanding these two companies are similar. Of course MGNI is smaller, soaring and according to MS is at fair value. While TTD is double MS fair value.

It was mentioned that TTD would have been Peter's Top Pick #4 on the last BNN visit.
So given all this... would you suggest MGNI (I have a 1/3 position already) or TTD? Many thanks.

Q: I have owned AYX for a year - its been an exciting ride with the stock peaking 66% higher than its current price (I did not sell) I find myself back to where I started. In your view, how much of this volatility is due to management erring on the side of conservative guidance and thus tempering market enthusiasm and how much is a reevaluation by the street that perhaps there are better growth opportunities out there. Since it is part of my US High Growth portfolio, I am perfectly fine with the volatility if it is still on track. My question is, if this were in your US High Growth portfolio would you be keeping it or replacing it with a higher conviction name. If your answer is to replace it, what would be your top 2 names.

Many Thanks
Scott

Q: You were recently on BNN, what was your fourth choice?

Q: Hi. My daughter is looking to add a US tech stock to a portfolio that follows your balanced portfolio with some added US stocks and International ETFs. She currently owns 4 tech stocks; CSU, LSPD, KXS and NVDA. She is 21 yo and looking for long term growth. We are wondering if U is a better addition than TEAM (I am already following TEAM as I own it, but would consider selling it for a better company as I like to limit myself to following about 35 stocks). Any better suggestions? TTD? We both already own VEEV (under healthcare).

Q: What would be your top 5 US & top 5 Canadian companies that could be considered disrupters? Thanks

Q: If you just received $200K extra cash and would like to invest it in CND and US stocks in a non-registered account for maximum returns in 3-5 years, which CND and US stocks would you choose? For this, higher risk would be acceptable. Please prioritize 4-5 of each of the CDN and US stocks.

Would there be any changes, if it was going into a couple's TFSA's with sufficient contribution room?

Thanks, and please deduct as many credits as appropriate.
