Investment Q&A

Q: I have recently received $100,000 and as I have maxed out my TFSA, RRSP and RESP contributions for 2024 I will be depositing this into my cash/taxable account. I am looking for tax-efficient growth stocks. As capital gains are taxed lower I am looking for growth with no or low dividend.

Can you suggest 5 - 6 companies?

Thanks for your help,

Mike

Q: I currently hold all these stocks, with the exception of elf. I came up with the thanks in large part to 5i as these are names that have come up in various Q&As. If you had to pick only 10 to hold long term (which for me is 1 year), what would be your ten? The 10 should be those that are the best expected performs regardless of diversification or risk. Just the top 10. Alternately., would you suggest holding them all but with different weightings and if so please comment on a suggested weighting.

My plan was to hold 10 with 10% in each but I’m not married to that idea.

Thank you kindly.

Q: My wife owns the stocks above. She is looking to add 1 to 2 more stocks in the new year. Can you recommend a couple us and Canadian?

Q: Following a recent question about a Canadian TFSA account. For a growthy TFSA contribution for 2024, which U.S. companies would you recommend ? Please rank based on potential gains for a 3-5 year period, with a brief comment on each one. Moderate to high(ish) risk is fine.

Enjoy the Holidays,

Q: Hi, I have a large capital gain from TMO which I have held for many years. I plan to sell some of this to offset some capital losses. Which alternative company(ies) would you recommend to replace it? I am principally interested in holding stocks for growth.

Q: These are all names that have come up recently in Q&As. Which one do you think has the most upside from here? If you had to pick one to own as part of a 10 stock portfolio which would you choose? Thanks.

Q: I have the above stocks in my TSFA account. All about equal weighted. Which stock would you add the $7000 2024 contribution to?

Or do you not favour any of the above and have another suggestion?

Thanks for everything and happy Holidays to everyone.

Dave.

Q: What does the outlook look like for these 3 stocks, how do their fundamentals compare and if you could only pick one, which would you choose? Thanks.

Q: I was interested in your reply to Ronnie today (14th) on U.S. growth suggestions. As individual securities you suggested IBKR, LPLA, CELH, CROX, DUOL. If I was to add HEI, ADI and ULTA to that list could you rank all 8 for say 5 yr pure growth potential and then re-rank if one was seeking a balance of both growth and safety? Thank you.

Q: The U.S. is growing much faster than Canada. Canada’s much slower economic growth relative to the U.S. seems to be related namely mortgage debt, Given this situation, can you suggest 1) Individual U.S. stocks for capital gain 2) Individual U.S. stocks that pay dividends, and 3) U.S. ETFs? Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,

After Fed Powell's update today, is it reasonable to push the pedal for a Santa rally into the new year? If so, what sectors in the US would you look at? Would you look at anything in Canada at all? Any stock suggestions for a 'rational exuberance' would be most welcome.
Looking forward to your perspective.

Regards

Rajiv

Q: Has FVRR established itself as a company with potential exceptional growth in the unique niche of the Gig economy (showing up on lists of 2024 recommendations)? Who are the major competitors? Does CELH have strategies/potential to significantly expand its marketshare within and beyond North America? Do you consider FVRR and/or CELH to be above average growth stocks?

Q: Further to Terry’s question today about celh, can you please comment on what makes this name a stand out? Financials seem to show “popping” earnings growth so I get that as one thing to like. Do you have any concerns that tastes for a drink can change quickly (I want to say fizzle out…I will have to try the drink. Thanks.

Q: I am looking at starting some new positions (3) in an unregistered portfolio – and doing so without regard to diversification or taxation – simply the best combination of a trio of stocks that based on current evaluation and their prospect for the greatest total return over the next 2-3 years.
I have reviewed your current answers over the last few weeks to a variety of similar questions and from your answers have identified a list of the stocks from those answers that I currently do not hold:
BN, DOL, DSG, EQB, DCBO, TFII, HEI, ODFL, SAIA, BKNG, ISRG. AXON, BRK.B, LLY, X, CPRT, ULTA, URI, DIR.UN, AW.UN., HPS.A, FIVE, PM, EIF, ENB, NEE, ABBV, TSLA, TOU, CELH, VRT, GLXY
Which trio (or Quartet, if you prefer!) of stocks would have your strongest conviction.

Thanks,
Terry

Q: Can you please supply 5 names that have the highest potential for growth in the next year. Div, non div, any sector. Just best growth. US and CDN.
Thank you in advance.

Q: Hello 5i

My TFSA needs some torque - can you recommend three US growth stocks and three Canadian growth stocks that you find compelling to buy today for a 3-5 year hold?

They do not need to be sector or risk specific.

Thanks so much - very appreciated!

Q: Hi 5i,
In an otherwise balanced portfolio, I'm looking for some ideas for my TFSA.
Current holdings are KXS, LULU, HPS AND ATS.

I'm open to adding to the above names but was wondering if you
could you please recommend 10 Canadian and 10 US stocks that you feel would work well in a TFSA at this time in the market.

Thanks!!

Q: What's caused the sell off today?

Q: What has pooked the market for this stock to plung while almost everything else is moving up?

Great service, analyses and advices.

Thanks

Q: Good Afternoon,

I've noticed on TD Waterhouse that analysts' price targets for CELH currently range from $64.99 to $250. Any thoughts about why there would be such a wide gap, and as a shareholder, should I be overly concerned? Is this a stock that one should consider an ongoing stop-loss order. Thanks. Brad
