Investment Q&A

Q: I'd like to buy one of the above two stocks, mainly for a 5-year growth hold. Please offer a suggestion as to which one, and why. Thanks,

Q: With the recent 10% correction in technology stocks, do you think it is a good time to buy. Would appreciate your recommendation of 3 Canadian and 3 US stocks to buy. I am looking for growth and can take risk. Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I am planning on making a 2021 rsp contribution and looking for your top 3 US growth picks today. ( I was leaning towards PINS). That being said, do you think now is a good time to do this into the tech weakness? I may contribute in 2 different contributions at different times. Or do you foresee this pullback lasting quite a bit longer yet? I realize timing the market is just a guess, but you did a good job in predicting the low last year when your write up suggested we start buying after the huge virus sell off. Thanks for that!

Q: The markets have been very nasty to some favorites in the past week or so. Can you recommend one or two companies or funds that you think have really been hit unrealistically hard? Your opinion would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: is the downturn related to the news about microsoft making an offer to buy pinterest

Q: Can you identify a couple Canadian and U.S. opportunities created by today's selloff? Growth focused 1-3 year timeframe, favourites that have crossed into comfortable "buy" territory?

Q: Hi there,

What are your current favourite 15 US growth stocks, regardless of section concentration risks?

Thanks!

Q: Knowing ROKU and PINS are in different business, their market caps are similar and share price performances in a 1 year are also similar. If just buy one, which one will you pick? Thanks.

Q: Trying to get closer to 30 stocks in portfolio from 42. Which one from communication and one from consumer cyclical might you sell first? Thanks

Q: I have a target allocation of 40-45% for total portfolio US exposure. Which ETFs would you suggest (either currency) to form the core of this allocation? Could you also please provide a handful of individual US picks to supplement. Aiming for long term growth with 20+ yr time horizon. Thanks!

Q: Concerning PINS and TTDB..... Both of these are high in your recommendations lately. For growth over the next two years, which would you prefer? Thanks. 5i is by far the best investment I’ve ever made. Dennis

Q: Portfolio Analytics suggests I need to increase my U.S. holdings and communication services allocations as it current says I have no comm. services. 2 part question to help address this gap in my portfolio (feel free to take 2 credits):
1) I currently hold TTD. Do you consider TTD a communication service? Your platform labels it as technology (software) whereas BMO Investorline labels it a comm. service.
2) Can you please provide me with your favorite 3-5 U.S. names in communication services (in order) that you would start a position in today. This would be bought in either my TFSA or RRSP. I am a younger investor that has 20+ years until retirement (defined benefits pension) so would be focusing on growth. A dividend is not a requirement.

I have scanned past answers to look for names you have mentioned recently (somen noted above) but there was never a focused question on just communication services.

Thanks for the fantastic service! I cannot understate how much I have learnt since becoming a member.

Q: Could you please comment on their results and outlook?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: I am interested in starting a position in 1 or 2 of the companies addressed. PINS was at the top of my list but I’m uncertain if I’ve missed my opportunity after their impressive earnings report. Can you please rank these companies in order of growth potential for the rest of the year / best value at today’s prices.
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,
Thanks you very much for introducing PLTR on BNN a while ago. It seems to be a winner!
If you appear on BNN now, what would be your top picks (US only)?
Comparing US stocks with Canadian stocks which soon might be listed in US( such as AT.to), do you think these Canadian stocks have some advantage? In another word, should I just pick the top US stocks for retail investor like me?

I really appreciate your opinion!

Q: First of all, thank you for your amazing work. Cannot express how helpful my 5i subscription has been. Life-changing in all honesty.

My positions in LSPD (17.3%) and GSY (12.7%) have gotten a little out of hand. I was fortunate to pick them up near their lows in April. I've already trimmed both a couple of times, but I am really struggling to sell more given the positive outlook 5i has of both for the future. I've seen similar questions asked about trimming and selling positions with phenomenal growth and seen your responses suggesting to trim positions to reasonable weightings. I thought I might have an easier time doing so if you suggested some positions to add to or some new ones viewed as favourably as LSPD and GSY.

I have the following companies in a TFSA and have included the weightings only of positions I think might warrant a second look. While I anticipate a comment about weightings needing to be personal what would YOU suggest as the highest weighting for LSPD and GSY? And, again, please suggest some positions to add to or new ones.

Feel free to take question credits as you see fit.

DOO (2.1%), ATZ (2%), AW.UN, BYD

BMO, BRK-B:US, GSY (12.7%)

Thank you again

Q: Recently in response to questions, 5iR provided  target sector weightings for a dividend conservative portfolio and also for a balanced portfolio.
For my income portfolio, with a target sector weight of 10% for Communications, I have a position of 3.50% in BCE and, for health care, with a target sector weight of 10%, I have no positions. What are some Cdn and US stocks and ETF, even in Cdn dollars, would you suggest I consider.

When it comes to the balance portfolio, the communication target sector weight of 5%, I have at position of 3.00% in Telus and in the case of health care, with a target sector weighting of 10% (say in US stocks), I hold no positions. Again, what are some US stocks and ETF, even in Cdn dollars, would you suggest I consider.

Yes this is two questions in one...so please deduct two credits............Again, Thanks........Tom
