Q: I hold all of these stocks and want to add to one. Could you rank in order which ones you would be adding to today. TEAM, TTD, U and PLTR

Q: Hi team. Two of my most "unsure" holdings are pltr and mgni. I was wondering how you feel about these long term. Would you continue to hold them? I was considering adding to TOI with the proceeds if I were to sell one, or both of them. What would be your suggestion for the long term here? Or is there any other of your absolute favourites at the moment that I should be buying today instead of holding pltr and mgni? Note that I already own TTD (same sector as mgni). Thanks for your input.

Q: Roku buckled after reporting...is now a good time to buy and with perspective to your other favs such as nvda, lspd, ttd, veev or others?

Q: I bought TTD @ $200 (pre-10:1 split) and rode it upward to a peak of $970 during the pandemic. Since December 2020 it has settled back and been as low as $48 in 2021. My question is whether the good times are over and it's time to take my profit from this stock and move on. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Three part question. Firstly, I know as professionals you do not recommend “winners” climbing to over a certain % of ones Portfolio. However, if early investors in Apple or shopify for example would of bailed ; some would not be millionaires now. Or in some cases , billionaires where the CEO’s are holding most their wealth in their company stock. How can one hope to land that “life changing trade”(1000% or more) if one keeps trimming eternal winners ? Does it not make sense if a person finds that “winning company” to keep holding of goals are set high?

Secondly..is GSY one of those stocks, if you were to choose the likelihood of a solid company with good prospects, to choose to be overweight in and aim for that life changing 1000% move over a 10 yr or so period? I ask this company specifically because I am overweight this company and this is my goal. (Up over 200% so far and metrics still make this stock look cheap to me)

Thirdly… if you were to speculate a few different companies, either US or Cnd as your “best guess’s” so to speak of having the likelihood of producing 1000% gains over the next 10yrs or so; what would they be? Thanks for your input and deduct credits as you see fit. Thanks

Q: What would the main Pros and Cons of buying AT.TO over TTD today, thinking about a long term hold where growth is the main objective? Also, there were a lot of AT.TO insider sales at the end of last year...is that a concern or have reasons for that been addressed?
Thanks for the great service

Q: Hello 5i,
I don't want to put you on the spot but after reading your reply to RAK re: Top 5 Cdn & US picks I have a question.
In my cash account (high growth/high risk) I own SHOP SQ KXS GSY PENN WELL & TTD. I have done very well over the last 5 years. I'm wondering how you would rank these against your current top picks, perhaps I have become complacent.
Thank you so much
Dave

Q: I go to 5i questions every day except for yesterday the 16th due to the recommendation not to go on the site as it was being updated. Thursday, the 17th I noticed that Trade Desk in my online account was out 90%. I searched all over my online account short of making a phone call and waiting 2 hours on hold. I then search all over my online account and there was nothing pertaining to the problem. I then went to Bloomberg Markets and there was nothing there about it. About 7:00 p.m. tonight - I checked my online account and I am out 89.9% and searched back to the last purchase on October, 2020 of 6 shares purchased at $612.50 for a total of $3,684.99. I just contacted 5i at 8:00 p.m. which I am writing now and I noticed that recently someone had asked a question about Trade Desk. It would have been helpful to find information out sooner but it seemed none of my research provided it. I guess I will phone my online account tomorrow and see what they haven't picked up on this.

Q: I know you typically don't like averaging down. I'm underwater on the following names. Would you be comfortable adding to them and if so which order would you prioritize new money be allocated. 10+ year timeframe.

BEP.UN (down 22%)
KXS (down 21%)
TTD (down 36%)
U (down 41%)
XBC (down 54)

I assume you would advise a few more quarters with XBC before adding?

Thank you,

Stefan

Q: I have more tech equities than I want going forward. Please help me strike one or two off my list by ranking these in order of potential growth over the long term /min 5 years. For fun (since it probably won't affect my decision), please also rank from least volatility to most volatility. Thank you very much!

Q: Hi !

I am looking to invest in perhaps just one of the above companies.
I learned the hard way about prioritizing the preservation of capital.
Would you tell me which of the above companies is best in terms of highest chance of capital being preserved?

While I am here, would be able to suggest three other companies that are both poised for greatness and offer an excellent capital preservation profile?

Thank you!
