Q: Greetings 5i team.

Can you please give me your updated opinion on THNK?
I don't see any results for 8/23. When do they report next?
What are the numbers expected?
Do you think the recent Chartwell win will move the needle much on revenue?
I like the space they are occupying in the transition telemedicine going forward. Do you?

Many thanks.

Q: What's your view on Best Buy (BBY) for a dividend portfolio?

Q: In the interests of proactively rebalancing my portfolio for the coming year, I'd appreciate your recommendations on the sectors you would be inclined to overweight in 2022...and those you would underweight. On a related note, my tech stocks have now grown to 21% of my total holdings. As a recent retiree - with a solid pension, reasonable risk tolerance, and relatively balanced portfolio - would you be comfortable with that weighting? If not, what would you advise? (As a loyal 5i reader, I'm mindful that portfolio weightings are a personal call.) Thank you.

Q: Do you have a preference between RTX and LMT?

Q: Good Morning,
Can I please get a handful of your favourite copper stocks right now?
thanks

Q: HI guys I am down 20% on this stock I don,t need the money and I was wondering if I should hold or hang in there for few months or sell and move on I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT THANKS Larry

Q: Markets are going through a correction the past couple of weeks, particularly today (Tuesday). Tech is being hit hard. Can we have your assessment of the situation and what you see unfolding in the next few months? Do you view this as a buying opportunity or is it too early for this? Can you provide some names that have sold off too much in your opinion and might lead the rebound, when it happens.

Q: In my wife's TFSA we ended up with a bunch of Peyto stock that essentially I did not liquidate in 2020 because by the time I accessed the account it was sort of too late. In a fairly typical example where the best investments are the forgotten ones, it has swollen to a major part of that account. What are your thoughts on its run, its current debt and its potential. I will be reducing the holdings due to the position size but I have been reluctant to sell much while it has been on a (volatile) run up.

Q: Hello team,

Is it worth holding on to this biotechnology company?

Have been holding for a long time and down 75%. Don't need the money but wondering if averaging down will be a good idea, given their cash level?

Any updates since last news and the halting of their phase 3 trial in August?

Thanks as always! :)

Q: Hi

Can I sell AEM for tax loss in my cash account and buy XMA on the same day?

It is noted that AEM is 4.74%.of XMA.

Would this allow me the tax loss?

Any other suggestions you have are most welcome.

Thank you

Mike

Q: I own Abbvie already and would like to add another company from the health care sector. What would be your next choice for a long term hold in a dividend focused portfolio? Considering maybe JNJ, PFE, BMY, AMGN, ABT, MRK.

Q: Dear 5i,

I looked at the DOO company web site and could not find any products that use batteries. I think that this might be a good growth area. Do you know if they have any products that use batteries are if there any in development. I understand one of their competitors, Polaris has battery operated products available. Do you think DOO might experience supply, labor shortages in the near term which might impact their earnings?

thanks

Q: I am a recent subscriber, but have been around long enough to have taken your advice on TOI:CV. It has done quite well, thanks. I have my TFSA holding only one stock, BNS with the whole $75,000. It has essentially not moved in the last 6 months. Can you suggest one or two stocks that you feel have a similar potential as did TOI, as I would like to sell my BNS and move into something else?

Q: These include BAM.A (management, diversity, growth), GSY (valuation, growth), CSU (capital allocation, stability, mgmt.), BYD (growth, execution), TFII (growth), ATZ (growth/management), DOO (valuation, market positioning, buybacks).

last week Your suggested adding to the above stocks' presently i own them them all in various % could you please rate them in order of preference with1 being the highest rating and 10 the worst . thanks for your guidance

Q: Your thoughts on Vale today? Is there some fundamental reason why it seems to be dropping like a stone?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team - Are there any junior precious or base metal exploration companies that have caught your attention over the past few months. I know that this is not an area you follow closely but thought I would check it out anyway. Thanks.

Q: Earlier this year we created an equal weighted 'balanced' portfolio of 30 Canadian companies in a non-registered account. Most were chosen from companies either covered by a 5i research report or included in a 5i model portfolio. The remainder were chosen, based on the 5i Q&A section, from what appear to be 5i sector favourites. All purchases in the portfolio are made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

As per an earlier question we posed, we then increased our positions in 12 of the 30 companies. At this time we would like to increase our investments in 6 of the remaining 18 companies. The intent is to increase the other 12 in approximately 4 months. Which 6 would you add to today? Please rank them, include a small blurb explaining each choice and suggest an entry point. Thanks!

Q: What is your take on the acquisition of the $50M in physical gold bars by PLTR? Does this make any sense by the company? Or do you believe they have some access to some privileged information from their service (ie. a Black Swan event)?

Q: I have had Shopify for 5 + years. What I was thinking to do is to reduce my holding somewhat and start a half position with Affirm. Your thoughts.
Thanks.
