Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Given the recent pull back in the markets, would you please recommend 3 or 4 US stocks with most upside in each of these sectors:

1) tech sector (excluding FAANG stocks)

2) all sectors other than tech

Cheers,
H

Q: please provide the current P/E ratios for these stocks please show the historic p/e high and historic low. please also show the current price to sales ratio of each company and the historic p/sales high and low also are the current p/e ratios based on trailing earnings or rather forecast future earnings thanks Richard

Q: Hi, I apologize if this has already been asked - but I am wondering what a Ukraine crisis might do to semiconductors and Nvda in particular (I also have amd and Nxpi). I understand some raw materials used in the chips comes from the Ukraine. I realize it’s hard to say for sure in this market. Also, do you like Nvda at this point? It was disappointing to see it react poorly to what looked like great results. Thanks - and happy family day weekend to the team and readers.

Q: I have the above listed in my US $ account, all in a positive position. Is it time to add or should I hold until market direction is more positive (re Ukraine).
What would be your sequence of adding.
Thanks for your help as always.

Q: What would be your current top 5 buys in the US and Canada? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i, so much doom and gloom and grumpy people, I get it haha but be mad at yourselves not 5i!!

I could have sold Roku Shop and LSPD at all time highs but I also owned them before COVID and topped up near covid lows so not selling on the way up to all time highs in 2021 worked quite well but being greedy and anchored to certain prices did not end well :)

Thanks for all your wisdom over the years I sure wish I listened the many times you stressed keeping weightings at a reasonable level as much as you like a stock I shall try to heed that more often.

Let’s look at this positively if anyone has 5 plus years or more investing how can you not be excited to pick some possibly massive winners for the future. It’s like March 2020 opportunities but some look better and could be even more exciting when things settle down long term.

If you had to pick 5 growth stocks that you could own for the next 5 years the goal of course is capital appreciation and I’m not asking you to pick and purchase the stock today but if you had to pick the stocks today but had the next 12 months to purchase at any pace you want what 5 stocks would choose? Canadian or American sector doesn’t matter nor does risk.

Q: I have very limited tech exposure in my portfolio (AT, SYZ, LSPD & TIXT all less than 5% each) and I am interested in these 3 names due to recent tech down trend.
1) Can you provide your opinion on them and suggest which one of the three is cheapest in terms of valuation ?
2) which one would be your best pick of the three, and why?
3) Also pick and explain the second choice.
Growth investor with med-high risk appetite and looking at 5 to 10 year holding period.
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

With interest rates going up next month would like to know your thoughts on the short term effect this will have on the above tech companies, will there be a discount after the rates rise.

As always
Thank you
Anthony

Q: What are your thoughts on the earnings. I hold stock in my account and joint account. Both are in Cash account.

Tax Purpose - When I sell do I need to Average combine both accounts. Or I need to report profit separately since one is in joint account and another my own account.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Your top 10 US growth stocks please. Thanks.

Q: Hi!

I'm looking to establish a U.S. portfolio and I've identified these 5 stocks as a good base. I have plenty of exposure to financials and energy in my CDN portfolio. Do you think these stocks are a good starting point? Would you replace any?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: WHAT STOCKS ARE INVOLVE OR DOING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT?

THANK YOU

Q: Hi,

Have some cash to put to work. What would be in your top 5-10 CDN and US stocks that fit the descriptions below. Can be value or growth. Long term investor. Thanks!

“stocks with fair valuations that are at great price points and have taken a hit during this market volatility”

“high-quality stocks with sustainable growth, solid valuation frameworks, robust profits, positive earnings revisions, and strong momentum compared to peers.”

“wonderful company at a fair price”

“Bargains are the holy grail of the true stock picker. We see the latest correction not as a disaster, but as an opportunity to acquire more shares at low prices. This is how great fortunes are made over time,”

Q: Hi Team,
What's your thoughts on Skyworks earnings? Stock is having a negative reaction. This one amazes me and the valuation is so much cheaper compared to most chip names. Why the constant negativity on it? Should a person be selling it for something else? Perhaps add to NVDA? Or Shop? Also...should a person be holding PINS, or swap out for some beat down FB? Thanks!
Shane.

Q: I have 6K in my TFSA that I’d like to deploy. Presently the TFSA contains the following names and the weight for each one of my TOTAL portfolio (Margin+TFSA+RRSP).

EGLX 0.87%
GSY 3.75%
LSPD 1.62%
MG 5.41%
NTR 6.26%
SHOP 2.05%
WELL 1.94%
NVDA 3.42%
PLTR 1.33%
PINS 0.53%
TFII 5.74%
U 2.29%

Should I sell EGLX and PINS since they have dropped below 1% of the portfolio?
Should I add to one, two or three of these names? If so in what order of preference?
Or should I go with another suggestion? If you can list 5 in order of preference.
Any sector CDN or USA.
I will not need the cash for another 8-10 years minimum.
Thanks for all you do.

Q: I have a full position of Fb and am thinking of dumping and taking advantage of other tech stocks that have sold off dramatically. Could you give some names that you think are near the bottom with lots of upside? Thanks

Q: As we move into 2022 I find myself looking for long-term trends that I can believe in and consequently feel safe to invest in. It seems to me that:
1. FINTEC
2. Cyber security
3. Payments
are three such trends. I'm curious if you agree with my three choices and if you do could you suggest a couple of companies in each trend that would be your favourites. Finally, are there other viable long term trends that you think I have missed?

Q: Could you please give me 3-4 U.S. stocks you like for growth, regardless of sector and advise also why you like them.
Thank you

Q: For the 6 big techs listed above, could you please list in order of best to "least best", for a buy and forget 10-year hold. Can you also list the 6 from least risky to highest risk. If you were going concentrate on only 4, what would they be at this time?
Thanks!!

Q: Can you give me 3 stocks you believe would earn 10% gain per year that have outdone them selves year after year? Not sure if they exist, thanks
