Q: My goal is to have $1,000,000 TFSA, currently at $320,000 (CAD) but have $40,000 USD cash in there from trims to CRWD (ty from 2018 <3) and PLTR. For US stocks I own SOFI, CELH, AMD, GOOG, META, AMZN. My plan for my TFSA is put new contributions in CAD and put in your CAD recommendations. But for the USD I have, can you recommend some US stocks WITH buy prices (willing to wait for drops to pick up stocks at a lower price)

Q: Hello 5i,
New to portfolio analytics, can’t say enough about this team! Bravo.

Circumstances forced me to shuffle financially this past year.
43, pension, rentals. 55 freedom or forget it.

Highest conviction, growth, maj; tech, leaning themes to the next decade, a sprinkle of sector diversity, large/mid/small caps, predominantly US. I’m aware of course of all the caveats here lol. A 12-15 starter pack would be fabulous.

This is you starting today; You have 300k.
I do add 700 per week, please exclude
BN, TRI, ISRG, COST, HIMS, NBIS, NVDA, BKSY.

Eagerly waiting! Thank you.

Q: There has been a huge run in the AI related stocks which your service has nailed. Thank you! Are there other sectors that you think have growth and upside right now, and why? If you have a sector(let's say gold, or consumer, etc), could you give a couple names US and CDA as well? Or should I just look in your portfolios for your picks?

Thank you for your insight

Q: I have a question about 2514 Greetings:

It has been a long time since a question has been asked about CHKP. I own 500 shares and it has fallen significantly. After reviewing previous questions I would say that your present picks would be PANW and Fortinet. Why is cybersecurity in such a slump? What is the one year outlook for CHKP? Should I switch to PANW?


Thanks,

BEN.

Q: My tech holdings have once again climbed to a big part of my portfolio (37%). So it is time to trim/sell some holdings. Can you please rank the above holdings, favorite to least favorite right now. Portfolio allocation recommends 16 %, but i will probably aim for 25-30%. Does that sound reasonable? Tech companies seem to be the ones that are growing the fastest.

Q: Is there an opportunity to take advantage of the recent pullbacks in cybersecurity stocks, such as CRWD, PANW, and FTNT,? Given the time of year, might it be better to wait for further declines? Would CRWD still be your favourite?

Q: In an otherwise diversified TFSA - I'm looking at adding a small (aggressive) position - given the current price on some of the above and many recent questions/comments on others - I've come up with some candidates.

Can you give me your thoughts on which one(s) you might choose?

Thanks,

Q: Might buy a house, probably won't buy a house. Prices so high, I've been maxout out the FHSA so far and it's mostly in VEQT, bit of PLTR and CRWD which have done well. What other US or CAD stock would you recommend (shorter term BUT will leave it in there longer if market goes down/ ultimately could convert to RRSP) that is underpriced and or could have huge potential upside. Imagining turning the FHSA $40,000 limit into ... ideally a $200,000 down pmt over the next 3-10 years

Q: Hi 5i - Five years ago, you suggested that my son (now aged 31) invest his early career earnings in in NVDA, TTD, ROKU, DOCU, FLIR, TEAM, CRWD, KXS, SHOP, LSPD, GSY, DOO, BYD, REAL, DSG. He largely took your advice a few of your picks have skyrocketed. Most notably, the $2,500 USD he put into NVDA is now up almost 1,900%. At the five year mark, he is wondering if it's time to rebalance and sell some of this NVDA shares or if he should continue to hold. He worries that all good things must come to an end and would appreciate your input, since it served him so well in 2020. If you have any other suggestions of growth stocks (or particular picks from your Growth Model Portfolio) he would also be interested. Thanks.
