Q: Good morning guys,
Are u folk in agreement here with mr zinberg in regards to his comments with this name .. this guy worked with donville so he’s certainly well respected as a stock picker so as a owner of this name should we be concerned here .. already down significantly .. hold , add , or sell please..

Q: Hi,

With stock prices much depressed I have concerns that some unprofitable growth companies will have a hard time raising sufficient cash to fund operations; at least without massive dilution.

My question is two part:
1. What is (are?) the best metrics to assess profitability of a company (net margins, cash flow, etc)?
2. From your Canadian list of companies which do you see as the most needy to raise cash within the next 6-12 months in order to continue to fund operations.

Thanks,

Cam

Q: Would you add TOI or WELL today? If so, why? thx

Q: acuity ads ,well health,enthusiastic gaming apps... pinterest....upst... nvda... please rate with the thoughts of long term potential

Q: Hi Peter and team, I don't hold any of the above stocks and they have done very well the last 2 years. I do own some of your favorites like BAM, TOI, CUS, SHOP and LSPD etc. How would you rank the above stocks and would they be good buy when the dust finally settles.

Regards
Anthony

Q: Hi 5i Team, Have held WELL long enough to be down over 30% in a TFSA account. and am considering swapping it out for TOI on the recent pullback. I know you like both, so could I have your opinion on this move for a long term hold ?
Thanks, Gary

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

With interest rates going up next month would like to know your thoughts on the short term effect this will have on the above tech companies, will there be a discount after the rates rise.

As always
Thank you
Anthony

Q: Can you provide a list of 10 US and 10 Canadian stocks that you think have the highest conviction/potential to double from current prices over next 12 months or so. Market cap or risk is not a factor. Thanks

Q: WELL or VEEV, which stock has the most upside potential? High risk tolerance.

Thanks for your service!

Q: Greetings 5i team,
I hold WELL and DSG in my TFSA to the tune of about 1.5% each of my overall portfolio. I am considering selling one or both and concentrating on one of three companies: WELL, DSG or GSY. If we were to ignore company size, sector, diversification and strictly look at 5 yr growth potential, would you 1. Hold one or two of these names and 2. In which order do you think has / have the most potential?
I am not averse to holdings of < 3% if I might add to them in the future.
Thank you as always.

Q: Please list companies in your balanced equity and growrth model portfolios that are now in bear market territories and of those what would be your top 5 listed in preference to add to for a long term hold.

Q: I have 6K in my TFSA that I’d like to deploy. Presently the TFSA contains the following names and the weight for each one of my TOTAL portfolio (Margin+TFSA+RRSP).

EGLX 0.87%
GSY 3.75%
LSPD 1.62%
MG 5.41%
NTR 6.26%
SHOP 2.05%
WELL 1.94%
NVDA 3.42%
PLTR 1.33%
PINS 0.53%
TFII 5.74%
U 2.29%

Should I sell EGLX and PINS since they have dropped below 1% of the portfolio?
Should I add to one, two or three of these names? If so in what order of preference?
Or should I go with another suggestion? If you can list 5 in order of preference.
Any sector CDN or USA.
I will not need the cash for another 8-10 years minimum.
Thanks for all you do.

Q: This is a difficult question to answer but was wondering if there is a stock or two in your coverage universe that you think has been unfairly beaten down over past year or so...and perhaps may have turned the corner and is soon (or already is) seeing a change in direction that you think might be sustainable.

Q: Thank you for helping us navigate through the volatility with a cool head. I have 2 questions.

In a long term horizon 3 years and more for the above list could you separate them into 3 buckets and identify 1 group for which you would add funds, 1 group to keep and 1 group to sell? All stocks mentioned are now reduced to 1% or less in a non-taxable portfolio.
XBC -20%
AT -15%
CARE -50%
LSPD -45%
DOC -60%
WELL -30%
EGLX -30%
ENGH -30%

My 2nd question:

For the following securities in a corporate account with a 2-year horizon. Do the same exercise and separate into 3 buckets which ones you would add funds to, which ones are keepers and which ones you sell.
AT -50%
LSPD -45%
DOC -60%
WELL -30%
EGLX -30%
ENGH -30%

Thanks again

Q: Do you still prefer WElL .ca to QUIPT for an investment today?

Q: Please rank these telemedicine stocks as likely (1) survivor and consolidator, (2) acquiree, (3) flash in the pan and eventually bankrupt. Please include any other Canadian telemedicine stocks that I missed in this list.

Q: Hi, Iam trying to decide on a three to five year investment between these two stocks. Without factoring anything else in which would you choose, thanks?

Q: Hi 5i
For a TFSA which of these 3 would you choose at this time for growth .
I know you like all 3 but how would you rank for buying today? Thanks

Q: What are your favorite Canadian healthcare companies. And why? Thanks very much

Q: Hi, There are lots of high growth companies out there with little or no free cash flow. Growth investors accept this because these companies invest aggressively in their own growth, development, market position, etc.

While it's understandable that high growth companies focus on their own growth now, presumably they will eventually need to switch to other forms of capital allocation. I am wondering if you have any insight into how much confidence we should have in which of these management teams will act in the best interest of shareholders when the time comes to maximize shareholder value via other forms of capital allocation. For example, if a company reaching maturity throws most of their resources into R&D despite diminishing returns it would not be in our best interest.

I realize the answer to this isn't completely knowable, so also interested in your general thoughts on this topic.
Thanks
