Q: Good morning 5i
I am looking for a tax loss selling candidate. Each of the three mentioned above, I would like to buy back after thirty days. Which one do you think is the least likely to run away on me?
Thanks for the great service and I put an upvote for the question regarding how the young man might be able to buy a Harley Davidson, mostly to emphasis that the first and best thing to to would be to get a membership in 5i

Q: Hi 5i

Q: My total allocation in my portfolio is currently at 16%. However, it is inverse what the asset allocator recommend with nearly 4% in Cyclical and over 12% in Defensive. Would you recommend shifting some within Consumer? Do what extent does this matter since the boundary between both seems somewhat artificial? FYI - I own ABEV, BKGN, DOL, FDP, SAP all in my RRSP. If you recommend that I shift into Cons Cyclical, what would recommend as of today for my RRSP (US and CAN)?

Q: First I second JB Piedmont’s comments about Peter and the team he has built over almost 2 decades (?).

Must almost be time for a special celebration.

So with that degree of faith in the team and recognizing no hits a home run everytime that I continue to hang on to CROX instead of dumping it and putting the money into gold or AI or MAG 7.

The basics look good including low PE but it just seems to be limping along. Part of the my underwater situation has been my buying at the wrong time. So Sell, Hold or Buy more. And at the end of the day I acknowledge that it is my call. But a more informed opinion would be appreciated .

Q: These are my current holdings. Can you suggest 2 usa names to add to this list which might be complementary? I was thinking about NXT but it's jumped today. I would like to add two names that are not at 52 week highs but yet, are also "growthy." Maybe something that has pulled back irrationally like a NXT or UNH (prior to the big gains today). Thank you,

Jason

It seems like they are leaning their development to Europe and China. I may be wrong on this. But, it looks that way to me. if it is Is that going to work out?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Small-cap stocks are trading at a double-digit discount to their fair value, which seems like a great opportunity, agree?. I would appreciate your expert insights on the following six Russell 2000 companies:
OneMain Holdings (OMF), Crocs (CROX), Texas Roadhouse (TXRH), Chart Industries (GTLS), Dave Inc. (DAVE), and Inspire Medical Systems (INSP)

I am particularly interested in your views on their fundamental, growth potential, the durability of their competitive advantages (moat), and any concerns that may be worth noting.

Thank you!

Q: Good morning 5i team!

Your thoughts on LULU, RH and CROX? I bought them recently in expectation of a China tariff deal ultimately getting done. (NKE's Q results released today probably doesn't hurt sentiment). Are there any other names you would be interested in for a significant bounce?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: Good morning,

I'm short on discretionary stocks. Looking at above 2 companies although Decker's is plunging this morning they have strong brands, they beat expectations but would not provide guidance. Buying opportunity?

Any other you like better even if not in this sub industry. Loaded with US cash

Appreciative of your services tried Jim Cramer for 4 months on a Christmas deal, Don't know how people can work with him quite the character and he makes my head spin. Loll

Have a nice day
