Q: Over the past two years with the downturn of the market, I am down significantly with majority of these holdings in various accounts. I have a long-term 10+ year outlook, so looking to see if you feel any of these can be sold off given the outlook, management of the company? If so, what are your recommendations for a growth investor in either CAD/US stock options?

Thanks!!

Q: In a recent answer you concluded with: “At some point, all the 'worry' will be priced in, and contrarian, more bullish investors may do very well, if they are positioned BEFORE the market pivots.”

I agree that ‘before’ is key. Would good stocks for this strategy be Shop and Goeasy? What others do you suggest for contrarian bullish investors?

Q: Can I please get your opinion on the consumer cyclical company Traeger Inc. (COOK). Since its IPO in 2021 it has declined close to 90%. Normally this trend would not appeal to me but I do find it interesting the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan is the largest shareholder. What do you think of this company after a year of being public and do you think it has any prospects? If you are not in favor of this company, can you suggest some other consumer cyclical names in the US that would think highly of? Portfolio analytics suggests I should increase my consumer cyclical weighting.

Q: Could you please share 5 to 7 US growth names you would be comfortable with buying today? Are there any names that you were comfortable with early in the year that you would be less comfortable with moving forward? (For ex: ROKU, or APPS).

Q: Hi Team,
I hold the following 3 aggressive names in a US cash account (sq, rblx, apps). As a group they are down 65% , in close to equal weighting’s . What do I do with this mess? Hold at this point waiting for recovery ? Consolidate into a different safer name? Any chance for these 3 with a 3-5yr time frame ? Or is it time to take the loss and high grade to something such as a goog ? Or Maybey crox in a different sector ? Or …hope for a aggressive pop at some point , then high grade later ? Your opinion is appreciated .

Q: In your reply to Shane you said "we think an investor who chooses the right stocks, and can do nothing for three years, is going to see some very hefty returns when this thing turns"; please elaborate and give me a few names. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team!!! Peter, as always , I really enjoyed your article in the National Post on Saturday. The inevitable question is…. What 5-10 small caps, which fit the criteria outlined , would you suggest for future gains when the market recovers? And would buying the Russel 2000 be a way to take advantage of such a potential rise of small caps in the US??
Cheers,
Tamara !( I asked two questions here )

Q: good afternoon,
What would recommend buying in US small caps.
Maybe 3 stocks. I would complement with either IWO or the general small cap index.
Growth index should have more tork coming out of recession?

Q: I currently own ROST but thinking of swaping for one of NKE, CROX, DOOO as they might provide better returns over the next 3-5 years. Or is there another US consumer stock you would suggest for growth?

What would be your preference in what order might you buy? ATZ is already owned.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i:
I've been away for a while and not keeping up with Questions, so this may already have been asked and answered. if so, please provide a link to the answer.
I'm hoping you could advise what sectors you think will reverse the current trend and begin to appreciate in value more quickly than others and, also, if you could identify three or so names you would expect to 'lead the charge' in each of those sectors.
If time and space permit, any commentary you might have regarding each identified sector and/or name would be appreciated. Thanks!
Peter
