Investment Q&A

Q: I have 20% of my TFSA in US $ and currently hold AXON and SMCI, split 40% and 60%. I am fine continuing with AXON in which I have a 40% gain) but have been dithering about SMCI. I did take some off the table at its highs (used to buy AXON) and there is still a 68% gain in the holding. I could (1) reduce the position and add to AXON - or add a 3rd holding ? ; (2) sell all of AXON or (3) just stay the course. Your arm's length comments would be appreciated as well as your thoughts on possible replacement - sector not an issue.
Many thanks, as always

Q: Hello 5i

I have held ULTA and SMCI (full positions) for about a year and am reconsidering them due to changes in forecast etc.
Could you suggest 5 alternate names in the US that project growth in the next 2-3 years?
They do not need to be sector specific just strong growth and good fundamentals.

Thank you tremendously for all you do!

Q: Which would you choose at today's levels: AXON or TMDX? Thank you. Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hello 5i,

Thank you for answering my question yesterday. We are looking at replacing CELH (-50%), CTRA (-3%), and NXT (-23%) in a TFSA or RRSP. From our question yesterday we would replace these stocks with CECO, ASPN, & AVAV (TMDX was purchased yesterday. Is your conviction higher on CELH over CECO, ASPN, & AVAV, or ISRG?

Thank you

Q: Hello, can you please share your top 3 names ideally in the tech or industrials/manufacturing sector that most closely resemble Axon of 2-3 years ago:
- Lots of growth opportunities
- Business model with high recurring revenue
- Potential to be industry leaders
- Expensive for good reason
- Chance at doubling over the next 5 years
Are there others you think could grow into that type of business?
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,

Had to trim some of my US holdings today due to portfolio balancing/management.

Hoping you could recommend some potential US stocks to redeploy this capitol over the next few months when the opportunity comes up. Looking to hold for at least 5+ years and I am interested in growth and ok with risk.

I have already enough exposure to AI stocks (AMD/VRT/GOOG/MSFT). I am open to any other sector you suggest but was leaning towards something in the real estate or industrial sector.

Thank you in advance and love the service,

Greg C.

Asked by Esther on May 27, 2024
5i Research Answer:
Here are some of the high-quality US names with moderate risks and reasonable valuations that we think investors could do well by owning a basket of these names over the long term. Although these may not the the best winners, we think these could be considered as compounders such as BKNG, ULTA, AXON, ABNB, UBER, ADBE, FI, ODFL, HEI, AZO, ORLY, ARES.

Would your answer be the same today. If not, what would be your list today? Thanks

Q: I have some cash in my TFSA and would like to add to one of my smaller holdings - AMD, VRT, AXON, LMN. Would you be able to rank in which order you would add? Thanks!

Q: Sold 1/2 my portfolio (except CSU, TOI, LMN) at the end of August. First week into Sept and I'm looking smart. While I think it's still too early, when and how do I get back into market? Holdings (some sold out in August) include AMZN, META, NVDA, AMD, VRT, BN, SHOP, AXON, SNPS, NOVT, GOOG, NU, ELF.

Q: Just renewed earlier this year and realized it's been 10 years. Thanks for all your sage advice over the years and the many multibaggers (I was hooked after Amaya) that came with it.

What initially drew me to 5i was Peter's enthusiasm for small caps. Using his methods can you recommend your current favourite US small caps at the moment (I have lots of Canadian ones thanks to the growth & balanced portfolios).

Thanks, see you in 2034!

Q: Hello, I'm considering switching N5 global out for Axon. Going from a smaller, slower growth to a larger, faster growing company. What pros and cons do you see to such a switch?
Thanks,

Q: Hello Team,

Looking to purchase a couple stocks in my US dollar trading account, are you able to rank the above stocks from 1 to 12. Don't worry about size, industry or risk, will be holding for 3 years. Thanks so much!

Q: Hi 5i
Thoughts on TEAM? Would you put it on watch...It's not one of my finest and with a tech heavy weight could provide funds for another name.
Thanks

Q: Thank you for the Monday morning alert. I took a chance that you would have devoted a bit of holiday time to explain the situation in easier language than CNBC was describing.
When stocks report good quarters they spike up and then 90% of the time they drift back down to the trend line. This happens whether the market has been in an uptick or a downtick. I guess I should be like everyone else and when this happens, get out of all or a big part of my positions. What would be your advice on this? Thanks so much.
