Investment Q&A

Q: Please rank them according to upside potential. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi,
I hold the above companies in my TFSA and would like to make the portfolio more concentrated for better upside potential. If you were forced to cut three positions and add the proceeds to any of the existing holdings, which one’s would you choose? Long term growth is the only objective.
Thanks

Q: This is my margin portfolio, all position weightings are between 3%-5%.

The projected yield is 3.31% with a 3-5 year hold.

I realize 24 positions is a bit overkill but I can't seem to choose which to remove, which would you recommend?

What positions would you add to the portfolio?

Take as many credits as needed.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi.
The list of stocks make’s up my overall portfolio. Last month, during the sell off, my portfolio was down ~40% and started recovering slightly and lost steam again since late last week.
I don’t have any intentions to sell in the short term and I will prefer to hold for minimum the next 3-5 years.
Looking at the list of my holdings, do you feel there is any stock that should not be there?
Thanks,

Q: Top 5 CDN and top 5 US small caps gauged on anticipated growth with 5-year minimum hold, ranked in one list, 1st-10th.
Thank you,
Ian.

Q: Hope you and yours have so far successfully avoiding covid-19.
Our portfolio is below
Cons Discr 5%: US:NIO, US:CELH
Cons Stpl 3.8% - US:COST
Energy 6.2%
Fin Svcs 38% - BNS, GSY, RY, SHOP, SLF, US:BAM, US:JPM, US:MCO, US:V
Health 4.2% - US:MDT
Ind 5.8% - US:RTX, CNR
Real Est 2.7% - US:RDFN
Tech 13.4%
Telcom 5.7%
Util 7.4%
Cash 8%

All the fin svcs are up nicely but V and BAM have only small gains. We like both but think we should reduce this overweight sector and re-balance among the Industrial, Health and Real Estate sectors.
We are down 41% on NIO and down 12% on CELH but we are prepared to wait unless you think their prospects aren’t worth the wait.
We’d appreciate your view on what to sell in fin svcs and what to buy in Ind, Health & Real Est.
Many, many thanks.

Q: Hi ,
With wild swings up and down with high growth tech stocks, its my opinion that nothing has changed other than their markets caps and the price. In some cases they have even become cheaper then they were, EV/sales etc. I decided to hold on to my high growth stocks as the "underlying business" fundamentals have not changed. In some cases, they have even got better.
My portfolio is down roughly 40%, which i would consider quite normal during a pullback of this sorts.
Would you agree with my thinking ?
Thanks,

Q: The 2021 market hasn't been as fun the 2020 market, though I'm optimistic for a much improved remainder of 2021 - like 2020.

All things considered, if you were to pick up five stocks that have sold off (US/CDN) for a 5 year hold, what would they be?

Cam.

Q: Does the SP drop today, justify adding/buying today?
Thanks

Q: I would like to hear about your summary of 4th quarter and full year results.
Thanks

Q: My stocks and losses are below. You indicated that the rise in rates was causing the selloff. If rates just keep rising, do you think these stocks will keep dropping?
Are these stocks healthy enough to rebound? Your views much appreciated.

US:NIO -48.31%
US:U -41.66%
KXS -21.42%
US:RDFN -21.04%
US:CRWD -19.50%
US:CELH -12.98%

Q: Markets are really backing off with Nasdaq down over 500 points Thursday afternoon. Looks like a good correction. Can you list your top 10 stocks (1 to 10) you would buy that seem to be set up for big rebounds.

Q: Hey 5i,
Say that you are a “very aggressive growth investor/trader” using a commission-free brokerage and a stop loss strategy to mitigate risk to make sure you are far from the last one out when a downswing/correction/crash happens.

1) What would be your current top 15 highest conviction aggressive picks that you think would appreciate the most in 2021 (USD and CAD), regardless of any other considerations like sector weightings.

2) On businesses that you are most comfortable with (GOOG, AAPL, MSFT) what would be the highest weighting you’d be OK with? The stop loss strategy to mitigate risk applies.

Please deduct the appropriate credits, thanks !

Q: Good morning, simple question... you are asked today to enter a contest and you need to pick 10 stocks that will appreciate the most in the next 10 years... no other rules other than you are limited to USA and Canadian listings.

Q: Hi there,

What are your current favourite 15 US growth stocks, regardless of section concentration risks?

Thanks!

Q: Thanks for the great service. I feel like I have become too heavy on tech and healthcare and not well-diversified globally. Can you suggest some small and large caps that you would buy today?

Q: I have decided to exit all large cap stocks and move down the market cap range.
Please list your 5 most compelling US small caps for an agressive investor, irrespective of sector.
These would be to complement my current small cap holdings. If you feel any of the below holdings can be added to, please advise.
CELH
GAN
ICAD
ICHR
MGNI
MED
MITK
RDFN
SDGR

Thank you for your excellent service. I have made a small fortune with 5i

Q: Would like your opinion on NUAN, APPS and AT as a growth stock. Looking for 2 to add to my TFSA. Could you rank them in order of preference and if you have a favourite include it in the list.
Thank you John

Q: Would you start to buy CELH / TIXT now or do you foresee the opportunity to buy either of them at lower price from here? Other than market fluctuations, anything specific in the near future that might be a headwind for either of them. Thanks.

Q: My advisor has suggested I average down buy these two stocks PEP and K (underwater on both). I'm hesitant to proceed that way and would rather look at consumer discretionary ideas with more growth. What would you suggest? I consider myself an aggressive investor. Looking for a 2-3 year hold.

Thanks, as always for th great advise.
