Investment Q&A

Q: On March 19, Ron asked about some sectors that 5i thought would do well over the next few years. One of those sectors that caught me by surprise was Communications. Are these telcos? Or is this more of stocks like GOOG?

Q: Having very little in technology in a pf and limited new funds are mag7 cdr’s a reasonable means of entering the sector?

If so what would be a reasonable buy point for each

Q: Hi 5i, and would welcome your review of the Quarterly results from illumin Holdings. Do you see any red flags or concerns with the recent performance and future business prospects conveyed? At a past point in time they had a large cash cushion that presumably provided a floor for the stock price, hence can you please comment on how they're using that cash recently. All things considered, do you see any rays of sunshine, and could you consider it a hold or a little better?

Q: I have these companies on my cash account , they all are doing good, but now I'm looking to sell 3 of them, so I can buy some BRK.B.
Which 3 would you let go. thank you.

Q: Hi team,

Which of Netflix and all in the Magnificent Seven do you forecast to have the best growth this year and in which order ?
Would you at the same time risk to forecast the % of growth ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hello, I recently sold my rental property in 2022, and I now have funds sitting in the bank, earning interest. My ultimate goal is to invest this money wisely and create a portfolio that can serve as an inheritance for my loved ones. I am currently in the process of assembling a collection of high-quality stocks.

For me, the presence or absence of dividends is not a decisive factor when selecting stocks. Could you kindly recommend two top-performing stocks in each sector of the global market? These core holdings will play a crucial role in achieving my long-term financial objectives.

As of now, I have already purchased shares in NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), Alphabet (GOOGL), Canada: Goeasy (GSY), Nuvei (NVEI), Definity Finacial (DFY), Boyd Group(BYD), Thomson Reuters (TRI), Aritzia (ATZ), and Nutrien (NTR).

Thank you in advance for your valuable insights.

Q: META or MSFT, which will provide the most stock price appreciation for a 3 year hold?? Please provide a brief explanation. Thanks

Q: The dividend announcement seems to be well received. Can you comment on the implications of this if one plans to hold for the next 10+ years? Are there companies that you can use to parallel the potential future returns? Is Apple, Visa or MasterCard good proxy? Meta is likely to be aggressive in dividend increases.

Q: any particular reason for the recent run up in Shopify?

Q: With recent gain in tech sector, are you concerned with valuations getting stretched. Is there some kind of euphoria being building which draws some parallel to 2000 tech bubble. Like 20-30% jump on META, NVDA, SMCI, ARM. Is there a suggested to mitigate risk while maintaining decent exposure. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide the names of any companies that have declared a first dividend over the past 6 to 12 months - U.S. or Canadian. This could include any that have re-instated a dividend. If the number of companies is large. please free to limit it to around ten..
Thanks.

Q: Hi All,

Thank you

Q: Hey guys,

Thoughts on a 3 year hold for Arkk and Arkg. I'm down 70%. Hold or move on to meta or msft.
Thanks

Jim

Q: Could you comment on Meta's results and whether, with the jump in price, you would inititate a position here? Thanks.

Q: hi,
thank you for, and this question is in reference to, the answer to the "baby Mag 7" question a few days ago by "JR". are you able to do a short analysis of these 7, compared to the "adult" Mag 7 in regards current and future valuation, growth, debt/equity metrics. further, do you have any guess on the timeline of googl/meta etc.'s development/utilization of their own AI chips in house?
take as many points off as needed, this question seems like a bad homework assignment to me!
thanks Chris

Q: I'm looking to add more US companies. Could you please give an answer to Larry's question but substitute 2 US companies per sector for 2024?
