Investment Q&A

Q: My daughter is starting a TFSA and as a full time student she doesn't have a lot of time. I have suggested a couch potato based strategy with rebalancing. I believe there are now ETF's that incorporate the whole strategy and the rebalancing and I am wondering if you have a few options to suggest with Canadian equity, international equity and a smaller bond component. Also if she wanted a buy once and hold forever type stock, what might be a few stocks to look at?

Hopefully this question goes through - I wrote up a similar one and even though it said success after submission the credits have not reduced and I don't see anything. I think this may have happened twice.

Q: With regards to 5i AI special report is there any advice for members as to where to start. There are a lot of companies in your report. Maybe if you could narrow things down to 5 or 6 companies from different areas of AI that could be a core holding.Thank-you for the report and helping me to understand theAI process.

Q: Hi 5i. My son owns some Shop and Nike in his small RRSP account. What would you recommend as 1 or 2 stocks to add, and 1 ETF to add. This is for the long term as he is 32. Thx

Q: These continue to be beat down with crushing depreciation in Market Cap. Would you step into any one of these right now or any other names CDN or US that appear to be a screaming buy long term. If so,, what order would that be.

Q: I have a resource, bank and reit focused portfolio with very little tech exposure (apple). I'm considering a position in both google and amazon. Do think this is as good a time as any to buy and how much of a position would you recommend?
Thanks!

Q: I am planning to buy 500 NBIS and 300 AEM. Do you think the time is right for gold and NBIS, or are they already overbought and near or already peaked?
Or is there a better suggestion? ( opinion please)
Thank you.

Q: Ai décidé d'ouvrir un nouveau compte en us$.Quel serait les dix titres que je pourrais analyser qui serait peut etre prometteur? Il faut commencer quelque part

Q: Hello again - I have positions in the above companies. Ahead nicely in GOOG and AMZN, doing ok in SHOP and grimly hanging on to GLBE, in a position with unusable losses. I read such great things about GOOG ( Waymo and more) and AMZN ( baking AI into retail) that I'm wondering if I should sell both SHOP and GLBE and put the proceeds evenly between the other two. I know you don't cover companies like Israel's GLBE but do you think it possible that GLBE can get up off the mat and exceed the possible gains in AMZN/GOOG, over say a three year hold. How's that crystal ball of yours working? Kindest regards

Q: I currently own CLS, GOOG, NBIS, CSU, APP, NVDA, SHOP, AVGO, UBER, JBL, MSFT, QBTS, and IONQ in my portfolio. I would like to reduce the number of tech stocks. Can you please rank them in terms of growth potential over the next 12 months.

Q: Hello Team,

Are you able to rank the above companies for the greatest appreciation over the next 3 years in your opinion. Thanks.

Q: Happy New Year to 5i research communities!

Recently, the term "quantum computing" has been heard and read from all kinds of media often and people believe this theme might be a thing for 2026. How do you think of this theme? and any investable ideas you could suggest? Thanks.

Q: Greetings,
From a response from your office, I interpreted these five were suggested as still being good opportunities at present day prices. Did you mean full position or tranches etc?

Like many, I'm terrified of the impending pullback, especially with Tech names and what if prices fall by more than eg: 15%?

Secondly, what is your opinion on what might happen to the market, in the short term, if Trump keels over and dies?

With thanks, A

Q: Happy new year to the whole team . I have owned these 2 companies ORCL/HON or a number of years . Are they still worth holding ? Can you recommend their replacements if I were to sell them

Q: Hi 5i Guys, Could you please rank the noted stocks in order of your expected growth in the next 3 + years? Thank you!
Happy New Year!

Q: What would be your top five stock choices to add to a TFSA today, regardless of sector and geography? Thank you.

Q: Happy New Year to the entire 5i community.

It is time to make my 2026 TFSA contribution. My TFSA is a high conviction portfolio focused on a few US securities with a risk profile somewhere in between that of the 5i Growth and Balanced portfolios. Currently, I hold AAPL, ADBE, CRM, GOOG, NVDA, QCOM, and TOL in this account. Which should I add to? I am very overweight NVDA and slightly overweight in GOOG.

If you think initiating a new position would be preferable (US securities only, and not MSFT, LLY, IBM, or MDT since I own these in another account), please let me know. No consideration to sector or market cap necessary as I am diversified in my other accounts.

If you believe any of my current holdings 'do not need to be owned', please let me know as well.

There are several questions here, please deduct as many credits as deemed appropriate for a complete response to each one.

Thank you as always.

Q: I have 12 thousand to add to my tfsa what stocks would you recommend.

Q: My grandson owns these stocks and has some money to invest. What stocks would you suggest he add? What is he missing to have a well balanced portfolio?

Q: Which stock has more growth: GRID or GOOG? Volatility is not an issue, nor is sector?
