Q: Hello 5i,
You have just stated that QSR is not your favourite stock but "ok" for income and some growth. So far I am up $5000 since you included it in your Income Portfolio (not including dividends) and happy for it! So if it is not your favourite, why isn't it excluded from the the IP and a "favourite" included instead? What mght that "favourite" income stock be?

Also, in response to today’s question from John asking you to rate TFSA stocks for a 5 year hold your answer didn’t include KXS as he requested. Could you revisit this response please.

Q: Good morning 5i team!

I am considerably underweight in healthcare stocks. I do own Well, and I have considered Doc. I was wondering your thoughts on Personalis as I do not see any questions relating to this company. Thank you for your great service.

Q: I'd like your opinion about DOCU. The stock peaked SEP 1, 2020 and since then the past 4 months+ have been lower -- repeatedly dipping below $200 USD in this volatile market. The previous four months (before SEP 1) resulted in a gain of 154% in stock price. My question: I'm up 63% on this stock. Should I sell and move on? Thing is, I like the product as a consumer, and have already been e-mailed several docs to sign using that app. Works great. Yet I wonder if it's going to become a pandemic orphan -- and might suffer the same fate that could beset ZOOM when this pandemic ends.

Q: I am looking to "trim the fat" from my TFSA, which currently holds 20 stocks: ATD, BCE, BMO, BNS, CCO, CM, ENB, FFH, PDYPF, INO.UN, LAS, NXE, NWC, NA, NTR, PEY, PZA, MJJ, TRP, WELL. Are there any positions that raise red flags with you? In addition, could you suggest 3 or 4 value picks suitable for a long-term hold (20 years plus)?
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i team,
For my RRSP, I would like to invest in a developed Europe ETF. In your opinion, giving the fallout of the pandemic, would it better to invest in a broad index ETF like VE or a concentrated blue chips index like HXX? Which is your favorite developed Europe ETF for C$ RRSP? Which is your favorite Asia ETF (excluding Japan)? Thanks.

Q: Why do some stocks not have an options market? Are they not missing out on the benefits of those that do?

Q: Hello 5i team. LSPD is trading at a high TTM revenue multiple in the 60s whereas SQ is trading closer to 13x revenue. Can you please compare the two and talk through pros and cons for both. Why would you favour one over another if you do.

Q: Hi 5i,

I own Lightspeed and I am very happy with it, but I struggle to understand the valuation. Closing in on $100 a share which is an $11B market cap. Is the stock getting ahead of itself. Its tough not to take a double in a stock price in 2 months when there's a huge disconnect in valuation. They've made a couple of acquisitions and launched this new supply chain system, but they went from a $4B market cap to $11B in short order and are up 547% since the March lows. I'm itching to sell!! :)

Q: Hi there, Happy New Year to the 5i gang.

I noticed a fair amount of insider buying on SPB , almost all of which being bought by Marquard and Bahls AG, do you know (or think) this company is merely making a large investment here or are they possibly making a creeping takeover of SPB, similar to what Brookfield does in some cases? It seems their buying is what is mostly triggering recent price gains recently.
thanks and cheers Tom
