Investment Q&A

Q: Hi there,

Can you please provide your top 12 US growth stocks, assuming that sector diversification is not a concern?

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
If one wants a high concentration of very strong growth stocks and understands the risks involved with applying this type of investing strategy, can you please name 10 stocks that 5i would be very comfortable in owning for this purpose (a mix of USD and CAD)?

Q: What would be your top 10 growth picks over the next 5-10 years in Health Care and Tech? Canada or US and any size is fine....

Q: As a result of comments from 5i and other factors I initiated partial positions in the above 5 companies (so thanks!). All have done well.
At this point I am looking to add to my positions and wondered if you saw any red flags in any of the 5 companies and also in which order you would rank for adding funds.

Thanks,

Terry

Q: Hello Peter and team.
I do re-balance the portfolio every 6 months, (June/Dec), These are the 10 names in my bag and they treat me well:
ZNQ 55%,
TSLA 9%;
FB 6%
MSFT 6%
SOXX 5%;
GOOG 5%;
AMZN 4%
AAPL 3% ;
CSU.TO 4%
Cash 3%
1. Would you suggest to trim ZNQ to the level, say to 50% ? to free up the cash then add any other names, or top up some of those existing individual names? or vice versa? stick with current no change need to be made for now?
2. in a long run, what might be the biggest risk in my bag could lose the alpha (Index)
Thanks for everything !

Q: Would you know a particular ETF that might contain many of the above tech companies?
Thanks, Murray

Q: I know this is tough to answer but are there any companies out there you see today that could potentially duplicate the great returns of the SHOP,CSU,NFLX, LULU etc.. either in US or Canada? thank you

Q: I would appreciate 10 US and/or Canadian small cap growth stocks to invest in for the next two to five years.
Clayton

Q: Good Morning
Do you see an apparent rotation away from tech stocks as a concern? There has been current weakness in some of your favourites such DOCU, VEEV, TEAM and AYX despite recently posting good numbers. Would you lighten up on any particular names or do you see the basic growth thesis intact.
Thank you

Q: Morning 5i,
I'm looking to get my US allocation in my portfolio up to ~40% in the Healthcare, Industrials, and Tech sectors. I have a VERY long time frame, but I'm interested in businesses that have aggressive/high growth in the IMMEDIATE to 2 year timeframe.

Could you please rank the names below in terms of highest short-term growth potential coming out of a COVID world (reopening, new normal).

And if possible, are there any US names that trump these selections instead? Please take as many question credits as required:

Healthcare: VEEV, AMGN, REGN
Tech: TEAM, TWLO, MSFT, NVDA, AYX, AMZN, GOOG, QCOM, PYPL
Industrials: ROP, RTX

Q: I am young investor building my first portfolio during these tough times. Having not been through a financial crisis before I am struggling to know how to proceed. Are you still in the camp that the markets are overvalued right now and need to chill? I keep waiting for pull backs but things keep going up (S&P approaching 3000). Do you think a pull back will come?

Related to the above, in your May 5th update you said "in our view, slow buying at good prices continues to be a solid strategy and we think 2020 prices will look attractive in two to three years from now". Looking at some of your favorite US names in recent Q&A (AYX, TEAM, DOCU, etc) they are at highs. How does one determine "good prices" in these situations (e.g., one day pull backs? overall % reduction? buy into momentum and remain optimistic?)?

Thanks for the fantastic service and for educating young investors like myself.

Q: Greetings 5iR Team,
Looking to spice up my portfolio with some tech titles, 1 in CA account and/or 1 in US account.
I currently owned :
CA:GIB.A
CA:KXS
US:GOOG
US:MSFT

Looking for well managed company with good growth potential within the next few years, what do you think might add value to the above list and worth looking at these days ?

Thank you,

Q: If a new investor had a $100, 000 to invest in Canadian & US Equities what would be the TOP 10 Stocks to invest today for the next 3 to 5 years.

Thanks Valter

Q: Which 3-5 growth stocks on the Canadian or American exchange are you most bullish on their long term potential?
Thanks

Q: I currently hold GUARDANT, ALTERYX and ROKU in one account. As a basket they collectively just can’t seem to stay above water. Are you still optimistic on these names or has your opinion changed? Should I remain patient or would you swap any for VEEV?

Q: Hi Guys,
The after market doesn't like the 1Q numbers for AYX. What are your thoughts? I have a full position. Would you recommend hold or sell some or all?
Thanks,
Dennis

Q: I have these companies in my high revenue portfolio. It has been performing well. In these changing times, I find myself switching to companies that have high revenue growth and will not be affected by closure. Any expert thoughts or input would be appreciated.

FRPT - Freshpet is not in your database.

Q: Unfortunately I bought shares in AYX in February, near its all time high and have experienced a significant loss. It is off its deepest low since March but even with a 5% increase today it is presently still below its best recovery since then. What is your view on its prospects for when the economy solidifies to a recovery - is theirs the sort of product line that will attract good business? Is there reasonable prospect for upside? I see an answer to a question today referred to it having high risk; is there more down side than upside? If you were me, would you move on? And if so, what would be something with more potential and less risk (I know, those sometimes are seen to be mutually exclusive, but perhaps there is something)? Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: From a risk profile point of view, please classify each of the above companies as:
Low risk, average risk, high risk or speculative. Charge as many questions as you feel appropriate.
Thanks. RAM

Q: Good morning everyone. Would you beable to give me a few ideas of value stocks and also growth stocks that will be moving in this market. If you have time possibly in both Canadian and US mkarkets. Enjoy reading all your articles. Thank you for all your insight.
