1 large cap stock
1 ETF

Thank you

Q: Might buy a house, probably won't buy a house. Prices so high, I've been maxout out the FHSA so far and it's mostly in VEQT, bit of PLTR and CRWD which have done well. What other US or CAD stock would you recommend (shorter term BUT will leave it in there longer if market goes down/ ultimately could convert to RRSP) that is underpriced and or could have huge potential upside. Imagining turning the FHSA $40,000 limit into ... ideally a $200,000 down pmt over the next 3-10 years

Q: CSU has grown too large a position in my portfolio, and I am very reluctantly (sadly even) forcing myself to sell a portion.

Along with some additional free capital, I am considering adding four new positions.

I am indifferent to industry, size or region. This is all about growth.

I am willing to hold for many years, but I want companies that are proven winners and very well-positioned to grow aggressively in the long term. Ideally, companies that are standouts in their industry.

How would you rank the above positions in terms of risk (1-10), short-term growth (1-10) and long-term growth (1-10)?

If you have additional suggestions not on my list that may be more suitable, please include them in your analysis.

Thanks for your outstanding service. I owe the bulk of my financial success to you and your team.

Subtract as many credits as needed.

Q: What can u tell me about this company? It seems to have a very low P/E but recently has had a bit of a pullback. I am not a holder of it but it has had a steadily rising stock price last 5 years. Would you consider it a good investment and why or why not? Thank you.

Q: I hold these equities in my grandson's RESP. He will need to access funds in 2 years. He will enter grade 11 this September. I just sold half of the CLS holdings at 120% gain. Above % represents post sale. I am thinking of putting cash into BEP.UN or BIP.UN. what additional adjustments would you make at this time?

Thanks for all your help.

Q: If you were only to buy 3 ETF's and a couple of high convictions stocks. Which 3 ETF's would you pick. No fixed income please.

Q: PNG questions:

- What was the catalyst in mid-2024 that finally created a break-out in stock price?

- Why is it such a high-conviction 5i Research stock now compared to back a few years ago ?

- Do we know anything about the quality of management?

- What is the quality of the balance sheet ?

- How out of line is the current valuation of this stock ?

- Does it have similar runway potential that a LMN and TOI might have (with reference to success of CSU) ? ......acknowledging of course that they are in different sectors.

Q: Everyone, what do you believe would be the next spin out from CSU? Clayton

Q: BN is sitting at 7.5%, AXON - BKNG are 5% and the rest are 3% positions totaling approx. 83% of my stock assets. I have some 1-2% positions in my cash account (GSY, ATZ, PRL, CLBT, HPS.a, BNS,SU, TMDX, TVK and CNQ. I'm heavy tech, financials and industrials going into H2 2025. Would you add to, remove or change anything is this was your account (assuming you're 52 and plan to retire in 8 years). Not looking for a person allocation but rather if it was you, what might you be looking to adjust, if anything. Note I have no utilities currently. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Q: I hold all these tech stocks as part of a well diversified portfolio with weightings below. Tech stocks are 25% weight in my overall portfolio. The issue I'm having is determining how many to hold in this sector and what weight to allocate each. All new names that I see on my potential watchlist with high growth seem to be all tech names as well (CRWV, CRCL, SRAD, GENI, RDDT, etc..) but I'm hesitant adding more tech if my holdings are already high quality unless one of them is dragging its feet. I'm trying to balance between holding long term compounders like CSU, LMN, TOI vs high growth shorter term names like NBIS, VRT, CLS that are benefitting from AI tailwinds which could turn quicker. Do I hold 5 companies at 5% or 10 companies at a mix between 2%-5%.

Do you see any overlap here in names that could be combined? If you had to rank these names based on growth and risk/reward, what would they be currently for the next 5-10 years? What is the high level process you go through when trying to determine between candidates for a sector? Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter, the results for ENGH look a bit soft. Can you provide your opinion on the results and if you think it would be a value buy now with the dividend. Thanks

Q: I have a position in these stocks (DOCCKS) and looking to add when the price is right. Can you give a good entry point for each? All positions will be held for 10+ years

Q: Which names in the Growth and Balanced portfolios respectively do feel best about currently for a 3-5 year hold? Any related sector comments?

With thanks.

Q: Hello Team, CSU - Any idea what cause the spike 3X volume into the close on Friday? I don't see any news. Repositioning for month end? Doubt it was shorts, covering.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your excellent service. Gord

Q: Hi Folks,
I would like to add to my position in either CSU, GOOGL or MSFT. May I have your opinion in what order you would add too and why. This would be in my TFSA account.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team, I'm quite overweight CSU and was thinking about trimming some (or lots). I've held CSU since 2014 and think it might be time to reduce my exposure. If you were given a blank sheet and could pick 5 quality US and 5 quality Canadian names; which would they be?
Thank you Brent

Q: Would this be a good entry point ?

Q: Has there been any suggestion/inkling of another spinout from Constellation? If so what division or location would make to you and a timeline.

Thank you

Q: CSU or BAM? 5 year hold.

Q: Everyone, looking at a five year chart, at November 2022, the slope of the line changed. Any explanation on why the slope changed significantly? Clayton
