Thank you.

How would you rank them, Today, based on the current valuation, growth prospects and risk ?

Also, should MA,V and PYPL be considered different than others ?

Thank You

Q: I have CCP corporation and would appreciate your recommendations for buy and forget stocks (moderate risk; 10-year hold). With such high dividend taxes in the CCPC, I would prefer stocks that pay a lower dividend or no dividend. Could you please recommend the 10 CAN and 5 US stock you would buy today, if you were starting this account?
Thanks for the great advise!!

Q: With the recent market correction, there are a lot of stocks are deep in red. Which stocks are the compelling buys, after the market settle a bit?

Q: With the Nasdaq now down more than 15%, what would be your top 5 picks in the tech sector (both Canada and US) for growth given at least a 5+ year hold period?

I'm looking for stocks with great fundamentals that have just taken an unfair beating due to sector rotation and fear selling.

Q: I would like to increase my tech holdings during this sell off and I have a long term horizon and willing to take on risk.

Can you rank the following in order of preference: Shop, NVDA, Topicus, Xebec , Unity, Lightspeed, Enthusiast Gaming.

Are there any in that list that should be sold off?

Q: Good morning
A question was recently asked concerning your preference between msft and Nvidia. You said you preferred Microsoft. I was wondering if you could elaborate on your reasons for that decision? I ask because I hold the two of them and have been thinking of selling Microsoft in order to reduce my technology component.
Thanks

Q: Re your response to John, January 17th, you answered "it's hard to beat a single great company that compounds year after year".
Could you please recommend 5 Canadian and 5 US companies that fit into said catagory that have declined recently due to the tech sell off, and represent a good buy/nibble point,
Please include a mix of larger e.g CSU and Google, along with more recent up and comers e.g. Shop and Roku, which seem to be among your most obvious favourites.
Thanks Peter.

Q: Hi Folks,
I've had NVDA now for a year - it has been dropping like a rock the last couple of months, just wondering if this is still one of your favorites AND should I continue to hold this in my non-registered and TFSA portfolios or is it time to let it go ? Appreciate your answer. Thanks

Q: Which of these two stocks have the most upside, which do you prefer.

Q: With technology stocks presently going out of favour with buyers what 5 Canadian and 5 US technology stocks would i5Research recommend for a long time hold in a TFSA. Thanks … Cal

Q: At this time, what are your top picks (5 CDN, 5 US) for a 3-5 year hold in a registered account for an investor willing to take on an above average level of risk (but not high)? Sector does not matter. Thanks.

Q: I am a little embarrassed to admit that I am in all tech and growth companies. The rhetoric now about the interest rates, the war activity in Ukraine/ Russia, Threat of invasion China to Taiwan. Inflation and other factors that create the current environment. The question is boiled down to when do we see big tech i.e. MSFT, Tesla, NVDA and little tech : EGLX hit bottom and make gains again? CNBC Tom Lee Fundstrata says first half is volatile and choppy and the second half of 2022 we see gains and steady improvement. How low does the Nasdaq go before a upwards turn?

Q: Hi Team,
I am an aggressive investor, which paid off lovely in 2020, but now am being crushed. I hold the following stocks (with weightings in brackets) in total in my brokerage accounts. Could you have a quick look and tell me how this basket looks "In general"? And if you see this basket doing well over the longer term (say 5-10yr hold), pointing out any suggested changes you would make, if any are "sells" or worth switching out. Note that if I sell any GSY it would incur tax (the weighting is large because the position has grown and have been a firm believer in the company as its valuation still looks cheap and am collecting a nice div off it as well). I am 42yrs old so retirement is a ways away and my goal is maximum returns with reasonable risk until retirement. Please deduct credits as required. Thanks

Q: As with many of your members, im considering some portfolio adjustments and deployment of TFSA contributions to start the year.

What names in Canada and the US are you most excited about in 2022/2023 that you view as meriting consideration?

Q: I have $20000 to invest in an resp account.

Given the ongoing fall in tech stock prices, I would like invest $10,000 to buy tech stocks low and hopefully sell high in 3 years.

Can you provide 5 Canadian stocks and 5 US stocks.

I also want to invest the other $10,000 in less volatile. Companies with a total return of 15% or more. (e.g. Energy, banks, insurance, etc...)

Can you provide 5 Canadian stocks and 5 US stocks

Q: Volatility - a traders best friend. I use a small portion of my portfolio for swing trades and am looking for a few ideas for 2022. Can you provide 3 of your best ideas for Swing trades.

Q: hello 5i:
Took some profits at an opportune time in AVGO and PANW. I'd like to stay in the tech space with the proceeds (still have half positions in the 2 sold) and was considering some stocks you like. I left out NVDA as AVGO is in that space. Which do you like best between ADBE and QCOM, assuming they are 2 of your favourites, and why.
thanks
Paul L
