Q: If you held a Canadian small cap portfolio that included the following - BDT, BRM, DRX, E, HPS.A, LNF, MCB, TGH, TVE, TVK, WELL, and you wanted to upgrade the overall quality of this small cap portfolio by selling some of those and adding from the following list - ARIS, GRGD, GRID, KSI, MDA, RAY.A, VNP, ZDC, which ones would you sell from the 1st group, and which ones would you add from the 2nd group.

Q: I have a total of 27% in technology and wonder if best to decrease this as I do not have consumer staples or consumer cyclical stocks. I am thinking of selling of GIB.A and CLBT. Would you sell these 2 stocks to bring the weight down or best to just trim some off the stocks listed. This is for a RRSP and I am more growth oriented.

Q: Your thoughts on KSI please,it has been on a downward trend recently.Buy/hold/sell?

Thank you

Q: Some of my favourite smaller cap stocks. Would appreciate a ranking on 2 fronts. First, please rank from 1 to 12 for the upside potential for the stock price over the next 5 years. Second, please rank from 1 to 12 the downside risk for the stock price over the same time frame. Understood that all are higher than average risk. ATZ, BRM, CPH, GRID, HPS.A, KSI, MDA, PNG, PRL, TGH, VHI, ZDC

Q: In the past few weeks you have answered questions and reviewed results on a number of stocks that generate a considerable amount of attention and endorsement by 5i
such as - HOOD,VRT,COIN,PLTR,KSI,APP,IONQ,PRL,GSY,KTOS,SOUN,RKLB,VHI,NBIS and CLS - having digested those recent results and conference calls are there any that have impressed beyond your expectations or, conversely, raised any red flag?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: Please comment on earning. Thanks for your excellent service .

Q: I have held WELL ( at $5.00 ) for years in my growth oriented TFSA and am starting to look around for replacements. The next set of earnings will be important. Am looking at KSI and have read your report and questions asked. Several questions : will the general negatively towards healthcare be a drag on these two , should I sell partial WELL , do you have other ( CDN ) small cap recommendations ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Can I ask you to comment on these three favourites with your best guess on the potential impact of AI on their future growth and earnings? I'm guessing based on previous comments that if ZDC is already using AI it will probably be net positive. For PNG possibly the same? But in the recent 5i report on KSI one of the potential risks listed was if a major customer developed their own in-house solutions….one could see how AI might facilitate that and end up being a net negative for KSI? Just curious if you have any thoughts or have picked up anything from any public comments from any of these companies? Thank you.

Q: Hi can you please give me your updated views on Kneat and Descartes. Both are out of favor right now but interested if growth rate is still intact?

Q: Any news to explain the big price decline since mid June ? Thanks a lot.

Q: CSU has grown too large a position in my portfolio, and I am very reluctantly (sadly even) forcing myself to sell a portion.

Along with some additional free capital, I am considering adding four new positions.

I am indifferent to industry, size or region. This is all about growth.

I am willing to hold for many years, but I want companies that are proven winners and very well-positioned to grow aggressively in the long term. Ideally, companies that are standouts in their industry.

How would you rank the above positions in terms of risk (1-10), short-term growth (1-10) and long-term growth (1-10)?

If you have additional suggestions not on my list that may be more suitable, please include them in your analysis.

Thanks for your outstanding service. I owe the bulk of my financial success to you and your team.

Subtract as many credits as needed.

Q: Of these three small caps would you own all three at 3 percent? In what order would you start buying? Do you see potential multi baggers?

Q: Good morning ... I have some cash in my TFSA account that I'd like to get working for me.
Between Kneat, Vitalhub and Zedcor which do you see as the best investment for a minimum 5 year hold in terms of providing a combination of capital safety and upside potential.
Thanks, Rick

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles

Q: April 28th you answered Kevin ranking these stocks in this order, there has been news on some, any changes you'd make to your guess?

Q: Which will likely return better long-term growth?

Q: Dear 5i
Which one of the above five stocks would be your preference for in a TFSA account ?
What would be your overall order of preference ?

Thanks
Bill C

Q: Great report on KSI,

I’ve been patiently waiting to build enough cash to add a position.

Despite the negative trend in the last 30 would you be buyers today? Or wait for it to finally settle out?

Are there any new developments regarding this company? Thank you for the amazing job you all do!
