Investment Q&A

Q: May you kindly provide a brief update on ULTA?

Is has come off significantly. Would you continue to hold for the long term? If your opinion has changed, and a switch is warranted, please Provide me with your highest conviction picks.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
I don't know much about these names but am thinking about investing in one or both, so a few questions to get me started and please deduct as you see fit.
You were asked this morning if SHOP's entry into the POS arena would affect LSPD, and I have the same question, but with respect to NVEI - will SHOP be competing with NVEI in that area?
I think tech may be getting ready for a turn around. Do you think that conclusion is justified by the facts on the ground so far as they are known and, if so, are either or both of SHOP and NVEI likely to benefit given their current prices or, put another way, are they at good entry points?
Does it make sense to own both, or better to take the $$ that would be split between them and go all in on one? If so, which one?
Thanks.
Peter

Thanks,

Q: Can you recommend 5 top value Canadian and 5 USA companies that have solid long-term businesses, with great management, a good P/E and have no debt or very low debt. Would really like to find a solid core of buy and hold names in any sector. It would appear to me that SLF would be one good choice.
Thanks!

Q: My Canadian small caps are really dragging my portfolio down. I just don't understand why these stocks trading at like a 6 P/E are not recovering when technology stocks are skyrocketing. I thought small caps recovered first.

Q: Good morning team,
Could you please give your take on these holdings .. keepers or let go? With the exception of TECK, I am down with the rest. Although they are good companies, they don't seem to have +ve momentum ..
I appreciate your thoughts ?
Thanks
CR

Q: your thoughts on PD these days. Hold or no? thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I realize you don’t follow the Japanese market but if you were to try to ride the current momentum there how would you do it?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Paul today asked about exchanging Brookfield reinsurance shares for BN. Are all of the Brookfield shares interchangeable? I have some BAM that I have been planning to sell. But, if they are interchangeable that may be a better option.
Thanks as always

Q: My MGA is sagging but I still like the company's future. My ATS is doing fine, thank you very much. I'm thinking about selling MGA and increasing my ATS to a full position. Long time horizons but in say five years, which company would you rather be in today? thanks

Q: Is it too late to get into NVDA? Is it a FOMO trade now? Where would you put new money for growth (3-5 years) NVDA, SMCI, AMD or some other name? Please reply with a short reason and take as many credits as needed. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i,
What happens to NWH stock price if the UK sale does not happen?
What happens to the price if the distribution is cut.

Thanks
John

Q: The sudden price rise in NVDA seems like a bubble. While I want to continue to own this company into the future, is it time to take some off the table?

In other words, would you recommend sell, say, a quarter of it now and wait for a pullback to buy more? Would you wait and perhaps do this down the road?

Q: Hi Peter,

I hold IWO in my portfolio, currently at about 30% loss.

What you suggest, hold it, sell it Or ADD MORE OF IT ?

Thanks

Q: You don't seem to have a listing for it but what do you think of Panasonic (PCRFF)

Q: Hi,
I need to sell all the stocks in my non-registered account to access the cash in the next 2-5 years. I will be selling many of the stocks listed, in the next few weeks. Can you list them in SELL order with a few comments on the rationale.
Also, please list the top 10 Canadian stocks (from this list or others) for longterm holding, since I will buy some of them back in one of my registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA), likely over the next 2 years.
Thank you,
Camille

Q: What are your thoughts on Ulta? With the current weakness is this a good opportunity to start a position?
Thanks,

Q: Do you know the date that SDE will pay out the cash dividend? Please rank the new SDE, HWX and TVE as companies to reinvest the dividend?

Q: I hold UNITY and APPS , now less than 1% and at a substantial loss as part of a US $ registered account tilted to growth and, intentionally, heavy in tech. In addition to the above two, it has the following holdings, with % shown of TOTAL (U.S. & Cdn) portfolio, followed by % of profit/loss, Our Canadian portfolio is balanced and much larger.

META .75% (+21%) , TEAM 1.9% (0%), CRWD 2.7% (-20%),
QCOM 3.7% (+45%), MSFT 3.8%(+116%), GOOG 4.5%(+6%), and NVDA 8.8% (+200%).

I am looking at selling U and APPS and perhaps TEAM (?) , increasing META to about 1.5 and looking for something new. Maybe SMCI - but after the parabolic increase in the last month maybe that needs to be on a pullback. Anything about this that you would do differently., including alternatives to SMCI ?
Take as many question credits as needed - many thanks.

Q: With the large caps largely moving the S&P500, would you put new money into SPY or RSP (equal weight ETF)? Looking for growth, short and long term. Please give a short reasoning for your answer. Thanks in advance.
