Q: I have a LIRA account and don’t plan to make any withdrawals for the next 15 years. I’m looking for “buy-and-hold” stock and/or ETF investment ideas that would suit this long-term timeframe.

I’m open to a mix of individual stocks and ETFs, across both Canadian and U.S. markets. Given the long horizon, I’m comfortable with experiencing periods of market volatility.

Any additional suggestions on how you would approach this situation if it were your own account would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

With regard to the A.I. theme: If you had to pick 9 American stocks to watch that have been already running since 2023 because of A.I., which stocks would they be?

Nividia & Microsoft seem obvious. Maybe VST, AVGO… Gemini provided a list, but I’d like to know what you think please.

I find that the MAGS etf is a simple way to track the big tech stocks, but I’m not sure if the SMH etf would be too specific to track the A.I. stocks/theme?

Thank you for your help!

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: 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
