Q: Can you please provide a list of top 5 mid/small cap names ( US and CDN) to purchase now?

Also top mid/small cap ETFs in US and Canada?

Thank You.

Q: You seem to be recommending these three stocks in some of your recent replies. Can you please rank them in order of highest projected or potentially growth over the next three or four years, as well as suitable entry prices? I appreciate your time.

Q: 2025 just around the corner so looking to ensure I have the right exposure to stocks that can outperform the index. Which would be your top 3 stocks out of the group?

Q: There seems to be a consistent view by 5i and others that Small and Mid Cap stocks have started to lead the market and will continue to do so over the next 2 to 3 years.

What are your current top 5 Small/Mid cap US and Cdn stocks? Could you also add what you think are good entry points?

Thank you;

Q: Good Day,

I, like many 5i folks, have enjoyed a sizable run up on NVDA. It is now the largest company in the world, north of 3.5T. Now that we are this size, is it safe to say that it is unlikely it will double within the 18-24 month 'safe window'? From here, a Double makes it approx 14-15% of the entire US Stock market (google says it's currently about 54T).

Now that many AI models are advancing/pushing focus to the next stages, inference, etc, and with MSFT working with AMD on a chip for such, and those chips also requiring HBM3 memory, would there be an argument for managin ones NVDA position down to a more normal size, IE not overly overweight, and picking up positions in AMD and MU, for example?

I know that NVDA is optimally positioned to capitalize, with excellent margins, market share, etc, but at this size, I feel like NVDA losing even 5% market share would be punished, even though it would still have the lions share. But if AMD took that 5%, that would be a significant increase for it and could precipitate it being the next T market cap with a bit of momentum.

What are your thoughts on this type of logic? Are their other companies you think have a better chance of doubling in the coming year or 2?

Thanks for everything,

James

Q: What are your current top 5 US and Canadian growth and value stocks to purchase for long term?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i!

I have some cash to deploy and am light on industrials. I’m looking for US companies that are growth oriented and I was thinking about ROAD as an option. Could you give me a summary of why you like this company? (Or don’t like it?)

And are there any other industrials that you would prefer over ROAD for growth over the next 2-3 years?

Thanks for your incredible service!

Q: I am down 1/3 in ATS in a TFSA and want to move into something with some momentum.
Please provide a handful of suggestions for a growth name I can buy and forget in the short term.
Any sector. Canadian and US, but US preferred. I may also consider a growth-oriented ETF that might prove low-maintenance for the next 10 years.
Thank you in advance, your input is always appreciated and certainly helpful.

Q: I sold my full positions in APPL and NEE plus sold half my position in VERT this morning. I would like 2 good dividend payers with a growth metric, and 2 small/ mid caps for a 2-3 year hold.
Other positions currently held are: MSFT, SYK, AMZN, ISRG, GOOG, ABBV, JPM, PRU, AGX, CRS.
Thanks for all the above over the years. David

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you please provide commentary on the recent quarterly results from Sterling Infrastructure (STRL)?

Would you consider it a buy/sell/hold at its current price for a long term hold?

What other companies are comparable to it and would you recommend them over Sterling?

Thank you!!

Q: Do you feel this company would benefit from the anticipated infrastructure build in the U.S.? How much of their business is derived from public vs private sectors? Regarding the balance sheet, would you feel comfortable investing in it? Please add any other pertinent information you deem appropriate. Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
In the US small caps in the growth mode, which are your current favorites ? Any views on FTHM-Q, CTRN-Q, ROAD-Q ?
Gratefully,
J IDS
