Q: Since starting to do more and more of my own investing I have found your advice incredibly profitable! Thank you. I follow the Canadian balanced portfolio and try to add in some US growth names. I am also diversified into ETFs. Right now I have cash for 2 new US positions. I want to add growth positions and have a long long time frame. Currently considering GH, RTN and RUBI. Do you still like all three at current prices? And which would you choose? Any other suggestions?

Q: I've been active in DIY investing for 7 years. Have chosen only CDN listed stocks and, with 5i's help, have been reasonably satisfied with returns over that period. However, despite my stubborn resistance to the US, I cannot continue to ignore that market. So I have 5 forced-choice questions for you. I will invest in 5 of the 11 listed. I'd like your opinion about which one in each group to invest. These are LT holds (5+ years). I'm not expecting a detailed rationale, but would appreciate knowing if your preferences are strong. Or not. Thanks!

Q: Could you please comment briefly on earnings from the above three stocks. TTD seems to be getting hit, is it because YoY revenue growth is slowing slightly?

Q: Good morning team 5i
All of these stocks are down. Setting aside sector weights and realizing I am asking for a "crystal ball" answer, which of the above do you think has the quickest (6 months to a year) upside? I have a bit of cash for this specific exercise. Much thanks as usual for all you do!

Q: Hi !
Being overweight in tech (holding those above roughly in equal amounts), could you indicate, in order, which one you would let go to create some cash ? I also hold the following ETFs: igv, vgt, iusg which may create some duplication.
Thanks as always,
Jacques, Île-des-Soeurs

It's clear that software stocks are taking a heavy beating right now. Are there any concerns for recovery and continued growth at the companies above? What sort of expectations might you have for the above stocks down the road at the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year marks?

Q: I have a small US account and am looking to add a couple of companies to it. I realize that you do not provide extensive coverage of US stocks but would it be possible to recommend a few small to mid cap growth companies with a one to three year time horizon. Sector and volatility are not factors. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
Lately I contributed some cash into my RRSP. I owns many Canadian companies as you have in your demo portfolios. I also have US shares of QCOM, Google, Twitter, AYX, SQ. I am thinking of adding 2-3 of US stocks in my list above. What will you recommend? Or do you have other stocks that have good growth potentials in the long term?
Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: Hi,

Would you consider doing a report on AT-Acuity Ads? Your analysis on this stock is much appreciated. How is their balance sheet, cash flow, debt level, management and their product. Peter's article in the Financial Post got me interested in AT because I sold TTD rather prematurely (and I am kicking myself) ..Would you recommend one to buy the same stock (TTD) at a higher price or consider its little brother?

Q: Hi,
I'm thinking of buying these three companies, is now a good time to buy? They've seem to really run up. In what order would you buy? Also, is there any overlap between these and my current holdings? If I wanted to swap one or two of my current holdings to buy these new stocks, which would you let go? I currently hold CGI, SHOP, CSU, KXS, LSPD, FB and GOOG in the tech space. I'm a long term growth investor, time frame >10yrs. Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter and Company:
I am a growth investor, presently down on above 4 Canadian and 5 US companies.
Should I keep, sell, add or replace e.g. GC with TSGI.
Since US market usually outperforms CAN market I am fine buying all best US growth
companies that you will recommend...…..or mixture of US and CAN companies. Long term hold fine but not required. I will trade as required, i.e. when becoming aware of it. E.g. missed selling MX, where I had an nice gain but no alert to sell and now a significant loss.
Thanks for your advice
