Q: Looking at these long term compounders in various sectors. Based on current valuation and future growth, how would you rank these and which ones would you buy now or DCA into over time?

I'm already holding full positions in BKNG, BN, CSU, LMN, half positions in V,MA,WSP, and smaller position in TRI. I would either add to my smaller positions or add new positions in the others.

Are there any other 2-3 long term compounders that you would consider good buys currently?

Thank you!

Q: Good morning everyone,

Has your thesis remained intact on URI? It appears to be making the turn. At a reasonable attractive entry point along with some potential catalysts in 2025.

Would this be your buy in this sector? AXON is already owned in a full position. Along with TFII on the CAN side.

Is their an industrial or similar name you'd rank above for the coming year?

Thank you.

Q: Would you be comfortable selling ATD for a small profit and buying a full position in URI now, URI is down 14 % percent over the past month. I would then buy back ATD over time.

Or would you average into URI over time? I think the bottom may be in, as the stock has started going up again.

Q: We’re retired with comfortable pensions and a 10 year+ investing horizon. To date we’ve invested in Canadian growth companies inside our TFSAs (we’ve tried to access the US market through companies such as WSP and PRL). We’ve recently opened a $USD trading account and want to start investing in relatively stable US companies with some growth potential. ISRG is one we’re considering. Could you please provide a list of 6-8 companies you’d be looking into if it was your money. Thanks so much for all you do.

Q: “Joe” is getting overwhelmed with maintaining his portfolio and is starting to fall behind on autumn yardwork and home maintenance. His spouse and teenaged kids also find his contributions to family conversations rather repetitive and boring (in their words, he’s all “year-to-date” this, and “multi-bagger” that…).

In an effort to free up some bandwidth and reconnect to his people, Joe has decided to reduce the number of securities he owns to about 20 stocks and a handful of broad market ETFs.

Joe is hoping 5i can help him identify:
~10 favourite stocks drawn from its 3 model portfolios
~6 highest conviction US picks.

Joe wants to maximise returns over the next 7-10 years.

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

Had to trim some of my US holdings today due to portfolio balancing/management.

Hoping you could recommend some potential US stocks to redeploy this capitol over the next few months when the opportunity comes up. Looking to hold for at least 5+ years and I am interested in growth and ok with risk.

I have already enough exposure to AI stocks (AMD/VRT/GOOG/MSFT). I am open to any other sector you suggest but was leaning towards something in the real estate or industrial sector.

Thank you in advance and love the service,

Greg C.

Q: Morning 5i team,
Thanks for all your great advice to help grow our portfolios.
I own some URI and looks like it’s stalled and looking to sell that and buy one of the following, COST, TT, WMT, CAT or HD.
What are your thoughts on that move or would you put it somewhere else?

Q: It seems to me that one one of the major themes going forward that we as investors must pay attention to is on-shoring or the re-industrialization of the United States and the western world. Please share with me some of the global and Canadian companies that should benefit if this trend continues. I'm interested in both individual companies and ETFs.
