Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Most successful investors I have read about become rich investing in 3 to 4 consolidated holdings. What do you think of that approach? If you had to sell everything today to invest in 4 stocks which could double in 1-3 years time frame, which will those 4 stocks be. How do you protect yourself from huge drawdowns along the way. On the other hand what do you think about over diversification where you do not invest more than like $2500 per investment and sell half when the stock doubles and leave the rest and continue doing that.

Q: Hi Team,
I was looking for quality growth names that were attractive today for purchase. Geni was on the list due to the recent weakness in the sports betting sector. Do you see it as a opportunity to buy at these levels? Could you also provide a couple names on your radar either cnd or US that you see as particular good buys today for a 10yr hold? Thanks

Shane.

Q: Each of these have fallen below 1% percent of total portfolio value in my non-reg account. What order of preference would you suggest for adding to top up? Altrnatively should any go or should there be a new addition? I am low in consumer cycles, comms and health.

Q: Got my first 10 bagger today!! Thank you to everyone at 5i bringing us such good stock ideas and portfolio analysis. Thought Nvidia was going to be my 10 bagger but Galaxy Digital has been on a tear and takes the prize. Now that I have to trim them both(again) what stocks might be worth looking at in Communication services(US or Canadian) as I am presently low in that sector.
Thanks again.

Q: The time has come to trim some of my NVDA, it simply has grown too large as a percentage of my portfolio. Can you please provide 3 top picks in the US for a long term hold.
Thank you

Q: CSCO is one of my core and long term holds. Lost money and made money and now after so many years I am sitting with very significant gains.

The question is this: Under the current AI craze and momentum and things changing so rapidly, should one hold and let it run the course or sell it and move it to AI based stocks. (I already have some of your favourites like GOOG and NVDA.)

Where does CSCO fit in the new AI paradigm shift?

Many thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I would like your thoughts about Adobe who recently got a lot of downgrades from major investment houses of renown. Is AI going to affect their business to such extent? The same thing was said about Google a few months sho which lately rebounded quite nicely. Can they both be in the same boat? Thank you for your always interesting views. Adel

Q: Good Morning 5i Team,

In my TFSA I have some cash parked from the sale of some equities. I'm looking to move this cash into a few grow potential stocks, with a growth horizon of 5 years +. I do have a decent risk tolerance. With this in mind, what would be the 3-5 companies I should be researching?

Q: Hello team.
The above are my highest dividend payers in my unregistered account, however at the end next year I have to start withdrawing from RRSP and LIRA account and would likely elevate my income to a substantially higher tax bracket. For that reason I am think of reducing my income generating holdings in the unregistered account and be less focus on income. Conversely, while divesting in the unregistered account I would rebalance the RRIF to be more income oriented. Does this make sense and could you suggest 5 growth oriented equities with SOME income to replace the above. I already TD,BNS,BN,BAM, TFII (small position)?
Thank you
Frank

Q: Oklo has been an excellent stock for me with huge gains. I have taken profits along the way. Looks like a possible correction started. Would it be a good time to move onto something else. If so, could you give me three or four stocks to consider

Q: I am happily overweight both GOOG and NBIS (just over 8% each). For obvious reasons, I am loathe to reduce my holdings of either of these multi-baggers. If this were your portfolio, how large a holding of each would you be comfortable with? On a related note, please compare the risk/reward profile of both GOOG and NBIS to PNG and comment on the advisability of using potential proceeds from a partial sale of either to purchase a half position in this small Canadian stock. Thank you.
