Investment Q&A

Q: Hello
I’ve held Guardant Health in a loss position for too long in a TFSA account. Would you please suggest several possible replacements in the small to mid cap space.
Thank you

Q: could you give us your case for PERI,as you seem to like it.
Why is PERI so much more compelling then for example APPS or AT?
Wouldn't you think advertising budgets decline in times of a recession?
It might be apples to oranges,but if having only one choice between INMD,AXON and PERI,which one would you pick?

Q: I have followed your recommandation to buy CROX in 2022 and held on during the continuing blood bath. I bought more and now sits on a 70% gain and holding on. Thank you very much. Do you see another diamond in the rough in the midcap space? Please suggest 3 names with rationale and possibly good entry price.

Thank again for your great services.

Q: Have a couple of stocks in LSPD and SNAP that have performed poorly over the last year. Was thinking about replacing with Lumine Group and AEHR. Do you think a trade like this would make sense. Would there be other stocks that have high upside that you would also consider? Thank you

Q: I hold APPS in a USD portion of my TFSA (unfortuneatly) and am thinking to cut my losses. Do you think there would be better candidates that APPS could be swapped for at this time?

Q: What is your long term view on these two companies? Is their structure, management, and financial condition such that holding on to them makes sense?
Do you have replacement suggestions that will likely surge ahead in more promising market conditions? Thank you.

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking to add 3 of CSU, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL or VISA for some growth to my otherwise conservative RRSP portfolio. May I have your 3 recommendations that could add some "zip" to my RRSP account. Looking at a 10 year time frame.
Thanks,

Q: Hi team ,
I am holding onto smaller positions of the following names which I am down huge on : Sq, Twlo, Apps. I have held these through the tech wreck riding them to the ground. My question is do I keep holding onto them at this point waiting for more recovery , or do I consolidate them and buy a different position? If they are sells, what would be your most promising names to buy today? Some I were looking at were Ats, Crox , Bn. Thanks .

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I’m down on all the above stocks as follows CRWD Down 36%, ETSY down 40%, PINS down 52%, PYPL down 64%, SQ down 72% and U down 77%.

With a 2 to 3 year horizon which of these are worth holding and which once I should sell and can you suggest US replacements and not necessarily in the same asset class. Just good stable companies that have good growth potential to outperform the indexes.

Take as many credits as you feel necessary.

Thanks
Joe

Q: Could you please rank from top to bottom your six highest conviction US mid cap stocks for a 5year plus hold.

Q: Good morning 5i
Yesterday i asked about a replacement for Magna and you kindly offered tfii and ats. I like these suggestions. But, the problem ( nice to have such a problem) is that i am already quite overweightin tfii and am also overweight inthe industrial sector. So, i am hesitant to buy ats. Do you have an equivalent for ats? Any other sector is ok, although my technology holdings are high. Also a US stock would be ok. It may not be the right mindset but i would like something with growth that can help recuperate some of my loses on mga
Thanks

Q:


Is STRL big and strong enough to do well in these times? any safer stock with good growth prospects--Canadian or USA? Take as many credits as needed to answer. Helen

Q: Good morning and happy Friday.

Here is a fun little exercise, if you had 1 million $ concentrated portfolio of 5-10 stocks and had a goal of an average 6%-8% return annually via combination of dividend and capital appreciation of holdings what stocks would you own? Canadian holding, and combo Canadian/U.S.A holdings. So 2x portfolio examples.

I realize this is just for fun and not financial advice. Thank you for the years of great service.

Q: Hello 5i,
Could you please rank these companies from a growth perspective for a higher risk portion of my portfolio? Also maybe brief comments on the four highest ranked?
Thank you
Dave

Q: What are your thoughts on EXPI latest earnings report? Was there anything of particular interest on the conference call (either positive or negative)? The stock has been punished with interest rate hikes impacting real estate markets. Does it look like a company that will do well when it comes out of this and real estate picks up or have the fundamentals and story changed here? Is this an add while its down, hold and do nothing, or time to move onto other higher conviction names (please suggest any). Currently held in TFSA so no opportunity to claim a loss (down 70%, currently less than 1% weighting due to drop). Thanks so much!

Q: Apart from small positions in LMT and NOC, I would like to build my defense position. I am a GARP investor, not focused on yield in this sector. I note your concern about LHX at 15x EBITDA. Overall, how would you rate these stocks or others in the sector that you like for 3-5 year hold and advise buy prices. Would you consider AXON in this sub-sector or industrial good more generally.

Q: What are some "swing for the fences", i.e. high risk but potentially high reward, ideas on your radar at the moment. Looking for U.S./Canada ideas regardless of sector. Thank you!

Q: About 2 weeks ago, Adam asked a question and 5i answered, as follows:

Q. Would now be a time to review ones stock holdings, maybe raise some cash in anticipation of slight pull back or considering a pause in rate hikes, would you go all in with growth stocks?

A. We think it is too early to go all in on growth or add risks. While we think the overall outlook is positive, there are still plenty of challenges. .....We still wouldn't time the market with a cash call.....When doing a review, however, we would still focus on the fundamentals rather than the stock movements. We think high-quality growth stocks look good, and there is no need to keep or layer on extra risk when solid companies still remain cheap even after recent moves.

Two questions from me:

1. Two weeks is a mere blip in the investment time horizon, nonetheless with a bit of news (interest rate + market response, some earnings releases, etc,) do you have any further thoughts about the overall outlook for adding cash or more of a tilt to growth?

2. Can you list 10 high - quality growth names (Cdn or US) that fit your desired fundamental profiles, contemplated by your answer to Adam?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: My question is on US stock market in general. Due to this interest hike and other market conditions, you think those companies which have more sales in US will have better chance to show growth in sales and profit compared to large caps with has more sales outside of USA. Your opinion. If yes than if you can name some industrial names which has bright growth prospects.
Thanks
Piyush

Q: Can you provide a list of a few microcaps, smallcaps, both us/cdn that could rocket up with a recovery in the economy. Thanks 5i for all you do
