Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

I need to raise some cash and plan to sell/reduce in a non-registered account to accomplish this. Of the stocks and ETFs addressed in this question, please rank them in the order that YOU would sell/reduce, starting with the ones to sell/reduce first. If any holdings are an outright sell, please indicate. For example, we've held BYD for a long time and have a decent gain, but it's short-term performance has faltered somewhat.

As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: Since 2021, I've owned Boyd Group Services shares, but I'm now exploring selling them to pursue investments with greater upside over the next five years. My current thinking is to allocate funds to two high-growth companies. I've been looking at Kraken Robotics, Zedcor, and Propel Holdings. I'd appreciate your insights on these, and I'm very open to alternative suggestions, including opportunities in the US market across small, mid, and large cap companies. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter & the 5i Team,

In your recent answer to Stephen, you stated that Boyd is in the Industrial Sector of the TSE. Actually, it's in the Consumer Discretionary Sector, as indicated on the TMX website and 5i's Portfolio Analytics.

If one wanted to sell BYD but remain in the Consumer Discretionary Sector, what would be your three best Canadian stocks to consider?

Thanks as always for your assistance.

Q: Long time holder of BYD. Currently have BYD at 1.9% and CPRT at 1%. CPRT has really outperformed BYD over many timeframes. BYD is consumer cycl. and CPRT is industrial. I'm up 20% on BYD and 39% on CPRT. BYD has been a frustrating stock over the past few years but CPRT has shown resiliency and stable compounding growth. Thoughts on the BYD earnings and both companies going forward? Continue to hold both or I was thinking of selling BYD and adding to my CPRT. Thoughts? Thanks!

Q: Q (Private): They just released their updated plan (until 2029); what are your thoughts on what they have proposed in terms of revenue / margin growth along with the strategy.

This stock has been painful to own over the last couple of years so not sure if this is a needle mover or more consistent w/ their past performance.

Didn't seem like a big catalyst.....
