Q: Hello Peter,
On yahoo, i get a pe of 32 for shopify. Does this make sense ? What are the metrics one should use to evaluate good value for shopify? Given that there is competition for shopify, do you think the company deserve a full weighting of 5 percent? I am just concerned about what happened with black berry (RIM in early days) when apple and samsung came along.. can this happen to shopify as well as there is competition building.. Much appreciated

Q: Hello Peter,
I think of your investment style as growth oriented long-term investor. But at the same time, you have been a portfolio manager and adjusted portfolios to manage yearly returns as well. You have experienced and managed similar downturns as they go through corrections in a rising rate environment. I would appreciate your opinion on how to adjust the portfolio in the current environment.
With the US (and Canada) central bank expected to raise rates about 4 times, the dollar index should be strong? That should not be good for commodities, particularly for gold and silver. But then inflation is going to be high too. What does it mean for gold/silver stocks and how would you adjust the portfolio weight as of now; and the bias between large (AEM, FNV,PAAS) and small caps such as KRR, MMX and WDO.
And the growth stocks, in particular technology stocks- FAANNGS (including NVDA) and other very high valued stocks such as AFRM,UPST,CRWD, DOCU,ROKU,TTD etc. I feel they will rebound but not much. Would you hold them through to the year end or rotate into traditional financials, commodities, and cyclicals in the near term. If rotating, would you do it immediately? Would be grateful if you could include your suggestion for the individual stocks too.
Finally, the persistent downward drift of ATVI – am I missing something? Did we learn anything from the microsoft call yesterday?
I know this has multiple questions and you deduct credits accordingly. I am very interested in learning from you - how you would go about portfolio adjustments and beat the market come December 2022.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: for a RRIF and LIRA, what 5 names, both Cdn or US names would you suggest considering at this time. for the RRIF, more conservative suggestions as the funds will be withdrawn over the next 5 years and for the LIRA, a balanced approach with a tilt to growth, but excluding cyclical positions, that will be held for the long-term without active trading....thanks....Tom

Q: any current thoughts on this co. after latest report. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Although a lot of down positions in my RRIF, I would like your opinion on whether to continue to hold XBC and Acuity Ads; both down so much that they make up less than 1% of the portfolio.
Would you hold on, or switch to a couple of your recent suggestions, ANRG and CTS (that have aslo dipped since your December reports.
Don't worry about tax loss and the RIFF is long term growth.
Cheers, Peter

Q: Hi 5i,
I currently own Cnr 4%, ata 3%, tfii 3%.
For diversity and best 2022-2023 prospects, which does 5i like best: aos or itw or wsp? Which has the highest projected growth for the next two years? Which is the best value at today’s prices? Is there an industrial in Canada or the US that 5i likes better? Perhaps Nvee?
Tia,

Q: any small cap oil and gas stocks capturing your attention for good reasons?

Q: are they're currently any heath care reits that stand out and are worth investing in ?

Q: What is your currant opinion on GWG, also vs. GRA Thank you

Q: Is Medical Facilities a smart investment at this point? SP has been showing strength, although PE is high and ROE and ROIC is not stellar.

Q: TWTR or PINS: Which is your preference? Why? Risk is a non issue.

Thank you for your service!

Q: Hi
I put ZGRO in my non-registered account knowing that it had US and foreign underlying stocks but Google Finance was showing that it had no dividend, which makes sense for a growth stock. But once I bought it, I see that it has a small divvy. I'm not too concerned with the tax consequences but I suppose it should have been better to place this in an RRSP?

Thanks
Robert
