Investment Q&A

Q: Great and timely article yesterday on this "Phoenix market". With that in mind, which companies in the US manufacturing, health care, energy and technology industries would you be comfortable putting money into today with a 10 plus year hold with a medium/high risk tolerance? Are there any US names that you think should be full positions in the majority of such portfolios? Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem appropriate.

Q: Hi 5i team,
With the current market volatility, I want to review my tech holdings and dispose of weaker ones. The review criteria are: 1. Profitable 2. Double digit revenue growth forecast 3. Healthy balance sheets. From the listed companies above, which do NOT meet these criteria? Many thanks.

Q: Hi There,
I currently own GSY, KXS, SHOP, U, AND NVDA and would like to add one more growth name to my portfolio. I am considering CRWD, LSPD or WELL. What would your order of preference of the three, and/or are there any other growth names that you would suggest that may be a better fit?
Thank You

Q: Great article today re the "Phoenix Market". With that in mind, could you please suggest a US stock or two in each major industry sector that you feel is well positioned for growth in the next 5-10 years that you would nevertheless be comfortable stepping into today? (Even if just half a position) Please feel free to deduct the number of credits you deem appropriate.

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: Been looking at Crowdstrike for a while. I see it's been pulling back a bit. What would be a good price entry in your opinion.
Tks

Q: In a $700000 plus portfolio, cash, TFSAS & RRIFs I own the following securities in the indicated percentages.
AQN-4.1%;BAM.A- 3.27: BEPC-2.08: BNS-3.69:
BYD-3.79: CAE-4.22: CAR.UN-3.6: EIF-4.13: ENB-3.1: GSY-4.73: KXS-2.6:LSPD-10.11: MG-3.36: PBH-3.37: SLF-2.5: T-3.79: TFII-2.94: THNK-1.55: VFV-3.67: VGG-7.94: WELL-4.14: WSP -4.28: CRWD -3.51: VEEV-4.47: Cash-5%.
Took profit and reduced positions in TFII and KXS. To deploy this cash, are there any undervalued securities that you would consider as an appropriate addition to this portfolio? I think that growth and value can be synonymous.
What are your thoughts on CRWD. Would you continue to hold it or look for better opportunities elsewhere. If so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Q: Of these two, CRWD and SAIL, which has better growth opportunities?

Q: Howdy,

AYX seems to be at a crossroad. It may turn things around and resume high growth by upgrading their cloud offering or perhaps be displaced due to their older server based software architecture. Should I sell AYX to initiate a position in NVDA or increase an existing CRWD position? Or just stay put with AYX to see how it turns out? Appreciate your opinion.

Thanks.

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
ATD.B
BMO, BRK-B:US, GSY (12.7%)
WELL (4%), VEEV:US (1.3%)

Thank you again

Q: In terms of largest growth potential for 2021, what u.s. stocks would you recommend as a buy today?

Q: Hi Folks,
I am an income investor. One to two years to go before retirement.
My portfolio is out of balance.
Low weightings in Basic Materials, Consumer Cyclical, Consumer Defensive, Health Care, Industrials and Tech..
Also need more US and international exposure.
Please provide some income suggestions for these economic sectors in the US and Internationally.
Thanks very much.

Q: I would like to use my $10,000 in my TSFA for a technology stock, either software, hardware. I am balanced in my account, so I would like a growth even speculative stock. It can be either Canadian or US

Q: Any reason for the declines recently or just profit taking?

How expensive is it on a forward basis and how dose it stack up to other growth stocks like LSPD, CRWD, NVDA, etc in terms of growth/price?

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan and Team,

What US companies would you be putting new TSFA money into for 10 year hold? Assume a diversified portfolio and trying to get high growth for TSFAs.

Thank you,

Wes

Q: Kxs has been drifting lower for the past few weeks. Comments?
Also, in response to today’s question from John asking you to rate TFSA stocks for a 5 year hold your answer didn’t include KXS as he requested. Could you revisit this response please.

Q: Hi Folks,
Looking to add to my TFSA for 2021 - want something with some growth for a 5+ years hold - I am looking at NVDA, PINS, PLTR, U, CRWD, CSU, KXS and SHOP - can you recommend in order of preference.
Thanks

Q: I am a fairly new investor and was wondering your thoughts on when to begin diversifying? I own approximately 15 companies, mostly being TECH and Financial. Recently bought NVDA shares and am looking at U, CRWD and LSPD but not too sure when I should approach other sectors and look at companies like COST or TT for example. I would be targeting my RSP in this approach. (Not sure if that matters)

Also, your must own top 3 US/CND stocks for the next 25+ years for a TFSA?

Thanks for all that you do
Nick

Q: Hi, This is a list of potential momentum companies that you had suggested to another member. When I go into the 5i profile for each one, they all have negative P/E's except BKNG.
Am I reading this correctly - are they all losing money?

Q: Hi There,
I am looking to purchase two of three stocks listed about within my TFSA.
Of the three, which two would chose today?
Thank You
