Investment Q&A

Q: Going forward past the covid and the US elections, what sectors would you prioritise and what would be your picks in those sectors
Thanks for the great help

Q: "Hello 5i team,

As we approach election season and Q4, the markets look to be taking a bit of a downturn that is reminiscent of earlier this year in Feb/Mar.

What are your thoughts on what's ahead for Q4 in terms of buying? Are there any industries and/or names that you would suggest to focus on?

Specifically, I am considering AAPL, MA, SHOP, SQ and AMZN on the current correction, given the upcoming holiday and gift buying season is likely to have a lot of ecommerce action and new apple toys, with payment processing being a natural fit.

If you could suggest your views on which industries and names have typical strength Q4 that would be appreciated.

Thanks very much! "

Q: For a 5 yr hold, what are your 3 favourite companies in this ETF ? I'd appreciate your thoughts about these 3 companies. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - In your answer to a previous question you referred to the meteoric rise of Shopify as a pretty unique company where things came together at the right time. Do you see another company in its fairly early stages that might be in the same situation that Shopify was two or three years ago (and still is). This company does not have to be in the tech field - any category is good. If you have ideas for more than one company that fits this description that's fine too. Thanks!

Q: I am negative on subject three U.S. companies (FSLY, TWLO, ISRG) While these companies may be good growth companies if held long enough, I would appreciate your suggestions of several U.S. and Canadian companies that are likely to have more near term growth, any market segment and I have much risk tolerance. Thanks.
Klaus

Q: Given the recent corrections, what are some names (Canada and US) you would add? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i team,
Let’s say the S&P500 decreases by -15% from its high earlier this week over the next few days or weeks for no specific reason other than stretch valuations, COVID, elections and fiscale stimulus uncertainties. By how much would you expect each of the following stocks (DND, DCBO, LSPD, REAL, DSG, WELL, XBC, VEEV, BYD) to go down (a guesstimate for each)? Among other of your favorites, what other stocks could see an even worst correction?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Hi guys, what a day for Roku. Thanks for recommending that one. I currently hold roku, square, nvda, and docu. I was contemplating taking profits on a few of those winners and moving into other USA growth stocks. Can you give me your top pics at this time? I have a long term timeframe in mind. Thanks as always for your valuable advice.

Q: Back on June 3, this question was asked. Would you make any changes now?
"If you were starting a new account with 100k with a portfolio of 10 US equities, with a 10 year time frame, which 10 would you currently choose?"
5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
TEAM, DOCU, ROKU, AMZN, GOOG, APPL, CRWD, QCOM, GH, FLIR

Q: DOCU has performed well for me this year, thank you for the pick. A fairly stiff sell-off today after reaching a new high this week. Is there any reason to prefer another of your top growth picks at this point? I also hold KXS currently.

Q: Your comments and opinion on ROKU’s latest quarter please.
Thank you

Q: What is your top choice for playing the gold sector? This will be my only exposure to precious metals.

What are your top 10 growth names (Canada or US) for a new investment with a minimum 5 year hold? I'm not concerned about sector diversity or weighting because we're well diversified in other, larger parts of our portfolio.

Thanks.

Q: So if one agrees that a significant US tech exposure in a portfolio seems correct but the Big 5 US mega-techs and their valuations seem scary at the moment, given the recent correction of a stock like Intel, would you recommend that this investor with a 2 to 3 year horizon buy Intel at this level, watch it for a while and see how it settles in, start a partial position, consider other tech companies (such as what?) or continue to build positioning in the Big 5 and not focus on their valuations??? And perhaps a comment from you regarding what you would advise this concerned investor from a safety perspective regarding some of your favourite tech growers that have even higher valuations (Docusign, TTD, Team, etc.) - what is your recomendation and opinion in the context of this question comparing adding to those growthy tech names versus an Intel or a Cisco type tech purchase. I guess in essence I want to know whether you think the extra risk at this time is warranted over that term. Thank you for your anticipated helpful response - Ken
