Q: What would be your top 3 non-tech US growth stocks? Thanks

Q: Thinking of doing something new - Add US stocks to TFSA.
As of now, this account has a balance/growth Cdn stock tilt, like the ones in the 5iR portfolios. Read on 5iR, best to include no dividend or low dividend US stocks. Question - is there a rule of thumb or range for holding US stocks in TFSA or is it all just personal? 
Another question - for longer term holds in TFSA, what US stocks would you consider?
High 5 for the guidance!!!....Tom

Q: Hi there,

If you were to build a US growth portfolio today of12 to 15 names, what names would you select?

Thanks!

Q: Hi,
Question 1: When do you plan to add the new positions in the growth portfolio? If you can't share that information, would you be able to share the short list of what you are considering?

Question 2: If you were able to add US positions what would they be?

Thanks again for your wonderful service and happy holidays.

Q: What are your preferred industrial stocks (or ETF) in the US?
Thanks for your service!

Q: According to Portfolio Analytics, I'm underweight in Industrial, Consumer Defensive, Utilities and Energy. Can you please give me three names to consider in each category? I'm also overweight in North America so, to the extent that there are good international names in these categories, please include them. I have a fairly long investment horizon: 5 years until my children hit post-secondary and 20-30 years before retirement.
Thanks.

Q: Two weeks ago I asked the following question below.

Can you please confirm that you meant Trane Technologies and not The Trade Desk. I know that the Trade Desk seems to be one of your favourites. Thank you.

Question:
We are looking to adds some US positions to our TFSA. We currently have AMD, DAL, DOCU, BRK-B, and ROKU. Could you suggest 5 growth names for long term holds that you would feel comfortable entering new positions in today? And would you add to ROKU at present? Thanks in-advance.

Answer:
We still like ROKU and thing it can move more. But we would keep weighting/risk in mind. It is the type of stock that moves quickly (both ways). We would suggest: CRWD, NVDA, VEEV, U, TT

Q: What is your current opinion/outlook on this company. If you had to switch it for another company in a portfolio, which would it be (can be US, you can suggest more than one, registered accound so no taxes implied in a switch)

Q: Hello 5i
I’ve owned LHX for almost two years. I’m getting impatient and wondering if you would endorse a move to TT for more growth? Or any others in the same space.
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hi 5i team,
I need to increase my holdings in industrial stocks and am thinking of either TT or LMT, hoping they have a strong enough balance sheets and growth potential to come out on top after the pandemic shutdown. Which one would you buy now and why or other preference? Would you answer be different if the vaccines are not as effective and the economy lock down dragged on through 2021? Thanks.

Q: good afternoon 5i,
On December 3 you responded to a question by Curtis by saying, "We also think a low cost index product for the majority of a portfolio overlain with a basket of individual stocks to generate alpha is also a pretty good strategy, for those inclined to hold 6 or 7 individual stocks. "

This is a strategy that I more or less use, at least for my US and International holdings. I haven't done this with my Canadian holdings because of capital gains, which would imply tax, and also because it seems to me that the Canadian etf's are heavily weighted towards the few sectors we have in Canada. Therefore, I think I would be better in individual stocks rather than an etf. I would appreciate your take on that perspective.
Also, I am wondering which four or five stocks you would look at in the US for such a strategy for a retired person. And how would you weight them given that an etf strategy was used. The stocks I have listed are the ones I own. How would they fit in such a portfolio? The only one I might kick out for someone my age is Docusign. Any others that could be suggested?

Thanks for the great service

Q: I have noticed that you have started to recommend TT in the last month or so and it has also appeared on your disclosure list when asked about US stocks. Can you tell me what about this company makes you recommend it when it is at close to a 40xp/e in the industrial sector. I am thinking of replacing SIS with it as I am overweight Canadian stocks and underweight US stocks according to portfolio analytics.

Q: We are looking to adds some US positions to our TFSA. We currently have AMD, DAL, DOCU, BRK-B, and ROKU. Could you suggest 5 growth names for long term holds that you would feel comfortable entering new positions in today? And would you add to ROKU at present?

Thanks in-advance.

Q: Are you aware of any companies that have the infrastructure i.e. (cold storage) and distribution capabilities for Covid-19 vaccines.

Q: Hello team, Shortly I will have $100K CDN and $100K U,S, to deploy for a long term hold ( 10+ years).
Could you recommend a few high quality, value & growth stocks? And what % would you buy now? I am not trying to time the market, but are you anticipating a correction during tax loss? Also, how many stocks (CDN & U.S) would you suggest?
Thanks
Carlo
