Investment Q&A

Q: Markets are really backing off with Nasdaq down over 500 points Thursday afternoon. Looks like a good correction. Can you list your top 10 stocks (1 to 10) you would buy that seem to be set up for big rebounds.

Q: Hi!

What names in large cap tech in the U.S. do you think is attractively valued right now? I'm looking at MSFT and GOOGL right now.

Q: Good Morning 5i Team. With the recent pull back in Amazon, would it be a good time to enter the stock for a long term hold?

Thanks

Dave.

Q: Hi, can you recommend your top companies that deal in AI ( artificial Intelligence )

Thanks.

Q: My top holdings are:
GOOG 6.61%
AAPL 5.21%
AMZN 5.12%
NVDA 4.61%
V 4.23%
NPI 3.75%
WSP 3.58%
PBH 3.37%
XBB 3.21%
COST 3.1%
OHI 3.48 %
ENB 2.8%
JPM 2.72%

They make up 50% of my portfolio. I have 12% in cash. Would you add or reduce any of these positions? Long investment horizon(17 years). I’m over weight consumer cyclicals and FS (3% BMO and 3% BNS). Light industrials @7%.

Q: I have a target allocation of 40-45% for total portfolio US exposure. Which ETFs would you suggest (either currency) to form the core of this allocation? Could you also please provide a handful of individual US picks to supplement. Aiming for long term growth with 20+ yr time horizon. Thanks!

Q: Can you please comment on Amazon’s acquisition of Selz, with respect to how this will impact Shopify going forwards?

Q: Hi there,

Could you please provide 8-10 companies, preferably in the US that are in the AI and machine learning category and that you think have great technology and a large potential market? No need for in depth analysis so you can keep it brief. I'm looking for a place to start more in depth research. Much appreciated!

PS - I sent a question in awhile back that is probably still in queue as it asked for info on 6 companies that are not mainstream. No rush but please let me know if you didn't get it.

Q: Hi,
what are your 3 most compelling stock buys at this time.
Thanks!

Q: Hi team, I need to move some shares in-kind from a registered account to my TFSA, in which order would you move the above into the TFSA. Which ones have the greatest growth potential over the next 5 years. I have quite large capital gains in all of these stocks so I am trying to minimize capital gains as I transition these stocks over time into my TFSA
Thanks

Q: I'm wondering if you have strong feelings about the prospects of any of these or similar mega cap tech stocks, in terms of their values against each other or others similar. I own most of these but on their own they are fairly small holdings. Could you please rank, and which would be worth trading up for the others? Also how many would you recommend holding?

Q: Hello, SHOP is reporting tomorrow and LSPD on Thursday . Would you suggest to sell before they report since they have both gone up a lot ?.
What do you expect with this quarter.?
Thanks
Carlo

Q: Please update your "favs" long-term 10 year HOLDS or "keepers", CAD and USD - up to 20 names . Looking for high conviction ideas. I am retired and have no need for income. I would like to check my portfolio against this list and make adjustments as necessary. Could you provide (a) rationale for each, and (b) percentage you would allocate to each.
Thank you

Q: I've been interested in SEDG for the past couple of weeks and I don't own many stocks in this industry. Do you think now would be a good time to get in? Additionally, I'd like to avoid going beyond approximately 20 stocks in the portfolio, so adding SEDG would mean selling my position in one of the other four stocks above. Do you see greater potential in SEDG over the next 3-5 years? Or would it be better to build on the positions I already have?

Thanks

Q: Hi,
Could you comment on my profolio for a 5 year hold? Should I add/remove/replace any of the stocks?
Also, Cathie Wood said she is expecting a drop of the market this year. However I currently have ZERO cash position. Do you think I should trim my profolio to have some cash? If yes how much percent do you recommend?
Thanks!

Q: Great and timely article yesterday on this "Phoenix market". With that in mind, which companies in the US manufacturing, health care, energy and technology industries would you be comfortable putting money into today with a 10 plus year hold with a medium/high risk tolerance? Are there any US names that you think should be full positions in the majority of such portfolios? Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem appropriate.

Q: What would be good price to enter GOOG and AMZN

Q: Question 1: Considering buying a few hundred shares of ADTX (NASDAQ). There seems to have been significant growth over the last year and since the company launched (2017), and I like the biotechnology space and don't have any positions here yet. Can anyone provide some insight for a beginner investor on this company? I have a 2-3 year timeline and am looking for growth, okay with some risk. Feel free to suggest some alternatives to ADTX if you have some.

Question 2: I'm interested in adding some clean / renewable energy stocks to my portfolio, specifically US companies but also open to Canadian. I've been watching AQN and BEP.UN, but perhaps I'm missing some interesting ones that will benefit from the US being back in the Paris Agreement (!!). What are your favourites in this space right now?

Question 3: I currently work in A.I., and I like NVDA as a clear leader in this space. Do you think their stock is over-priced currently? It's one of the most expensive stocks in the A.I. technology space and seems too high when compared to MSFT or other players. Can you rank your favourites in the A.I. space?

Thanks 5i Team, and happy new year to everyone!

Q: I have a CCP corp (10-year time line) with the following holdings (high to low mrt value + $60K cash): ENB, AQN, ATD, SU, BAM, GC, LSPD, XBC, REAL, GUD, BEPC, CAE, BNS, CSU, ENGH, SLF, PHO, XGD, WELL, GOOS, QST, AC, BEP.UN, KXS, DOC.VN, MITK, ATZ, SYZ, DOO. To reduce tax liabilities, I plan to slowly sell off any high yielding stocks (eg ENB) and only hold buy-and-forget stocks with very low or no dividend or buy corp class ETFs like HXT, HXS, HXQ. Can you please recommend what current stocks you see as long term "keepers" and suggest any new CAN or US stocks or ETFs. Many thanks for your help!!!!

Q: Am interested in Biotechnology, 5G and AI, can you recommend some of the leaders in the US?
