Q: In current market and given the uncertainty over the next 6 to 12 months, would you be buying small to mid cap stocks or would you wait for uncertainty to settle?

What would be your top 3 Canadian and US small/mid cap names?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hell team:

A bad day to post any question on any stock! But hee it goes:

I don't want to embarrass myself in front of fellow subscribers the percentage of loss in VRT. I know you still believe in this company but have asked to exercise caution. That seems to be the general tone of 5i on many stocks. The questions are as follows: Does VRT qualify as a "Quality company" that you have in your banner! Is it worth averaging down slowly? 2-3 years is okay for me to hold. Even longer if need be.

Q: Aren't markets mostly efficient, and therefore isn't the market cap weighted portfolio the optimal portfolio? Or if we want a higher expected return would a factor tilted portfolio be the way to go, like Dimensional or Avantis?

Q: CLS is near $100 today, would this be a good moment to initiate a position? Would you wait further and keep the cash for now? Would you initiate a position at 2%? It is for a TFSA and a long-term hold. Alternatively, should I bolster my position in two other growth names (PRL to 4%) and KSI with a position similar to that in the growth portfolio. All in TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Stocks are being pummelled. But as always, hopefully they will come back but it may take a while longer than normal. Trump is not normal. If one understands the risk, would you suggest buying some names that are being particularly hit today (eg SHOP -15%)? If so, can you suggest a few names?

Q: Hi 5i, I went through their results and they matched or beat their goals, and forward growth looks good. I would appreciate you analysis, especially with respect to forward growth. With their expansion in DollarCity and the new purchase in Australia the runway looks good. Again thx for this recommendation several years ago!
