Investment Q&A

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

Q: Morning team,

I've recently taken some profits and have some cash to deploy for long term holds. And I would be interested to know what your top investment "themes" would be for the next 5+ years are? For instance, ideas that come to mind for me are Cloud computing, "green" investment, and cyber security. Are there others that you find more intriguing? And which companies/ETFs would you recommend as investments?

Thank you again for you insights!

Q: For the above technology companies there has been a huge pullback even though some have beaten nicely on earnings. Is this a buying opportunity for them or wait and see where the NASDAQ settles out before putting new money in. What is the reason for the pullback. Typical profit taking before Labour Day? Of the above Can you rank which you would put new money into first?

Q: My 27 yo son has just had $36k CAD deposited into his LIRA. His portfolio is reasonably balanced, so don't let sector influence your response. I intend to convert some or all of it into USD using Norberts. I would like to invest in 3 or 4 stocks that in 30 - 35 years will be like investing in Apple 30 years ago. Plse give me some names to consider.

Q: Peter, Ryan and gang: a couple of weeks ago AYX took a dive and currently is trying slowly to regain its former price levels. What are your thoughts, hang in there or move on?
If your advice is move on, could you suggest two or three US stocks, maybe “cloud “ or “i t “ . I have a good risk tolerance and await your reply

Q: Do these two companies have similar growth projections over the next 5-10 years? Do you have a strong conviction of one over the other?
Thanks

Q: Hello,
For a TFSA with a long term horizon (5+ years) would you please rank these companies, keeping in mind their current valuation?
Also, are there any that you would shy away from/not consider?
Thanks for your help

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Your advice is usually to sell a particular stock when its value exceeds a set percentage of your portfolio or when there is a material change. Would you consider the downgraded earnings forecast by AYX management as a material change? Thanks.

Q: Market does not like the quarter at all. Would you buy here?

Thanks,

Q: Hi there,

Can I please have your opinion on the results of these 3 companies? I know you are a big fan of them - particularly AYX and TTD.

Thanks

Q: I am surprised at the big drop after hour after earning release . Please comment.
Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hello 5i,
What did AYX report that was so bad? Is a 20% price adjustment, in after hour session, in the normal range for a $11 b market cap? Should folks adjust growth expectations on this one? And finally, would you still see it as a hold for a growth pick in a tfsa after this report?
Many thanks,

Q: Hello 5i,
In a recent answer you rated VEEV higher than AYX. I have a half position in VEEV and a full position in AYX. Based on your rating should I trim AYX and add to VEEV or is there not enough difference between their respective performances to warrant such a move?
Thank you so much for all you do!!
Dave

Q: Hello, with $75000 to invest could you please give me a list of 10 stocks us or cdn for a tfsa.

Thanks, Mike

Q: Whenever there are these swings in the market from growth/tech to value/consumer it makes me think about diversification. I have also noticed that companies that bring tech to another field are thriving. Examples being SHOP bringing technology to consumers, REAL bringing it to consumers and real estate, VEEV bringing it to health care, etc.... Also the US markets just recategorized to decrease the amount of technology companies. I am presently 27% technology but only if I place REAL and AMZN in consumer, GOOG in communications , etc.

I own all the above listed companies except ROP. I am currently considering selling LSPD (technology or should just categorize it as consumer) to buy ROP (industrial or is it technology). This would bring technology to under 25% and increase Industrials and US exposure which I am underweight in. The problem is that I can’t help but think that I am making a trade just to make the diversification boxes all line up. One could easily consider ROP as technology.

In the medical profession we have a term for this. “Euboxic”. Which means making all the lab values line up to hope for the best but often with no real value added.

Q: How do valuations of AVLR look like in comparison to your other high-growth favorites (e.g., VEEV, DOCU, AYX, TEAM, CRWD, FSLY, TTD)? It is clear that AVLR is expensive, but I wanted to get a feel of where it stands w.r.t to peers. Would you a start a position for a minimum 5-year hold at current prices? Is there a much better company to invest in from the group I mentioned?

Q: are they or any two inan etf? if not which would you recommend first

Q: I have these 7 stocks, they comprise about 30% of the equities I own, in part because the their stellar performance in recent months. Two parts to my question: first, though they are all categorized as "tech" ( well, maybe not Goog), I am trying to get a sense of how different they might be from each other so that 30% is better diversified than the label they fall under might suggest? Can you briefly describe the underlying businesses of the 3 Cdn ones and indicate if you see all 7 as diversified. Second, if the stock market should hit another significant pull back (like March or otherwise), would these 7 be resilient enough to avoid major losses, and are some better than others in this regard? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Would it be benefiitial to replace MU for VEEV in a RIF account witch contain GOOGL, ,AYX, DOCU, TEAM, NVDA, ROKU AND IGM as ETF.
Thank you for your exceptional services.
