Q: Hi team,
In the US small caps in the growth mode, which are your current favorites ? Any views on FTHM-Q, CTRN-Q, ROAD-Q ?
Gratefully,
J IDS

Q: I believe MITK earnings are coming out later this week and I’m wondering what your opinion is on picking up a small position before earnings and possibly adding to it after earnings. Do you feel earnings could be better than estimates and maybe it makes more sense to buy a larger position before they come out or just wait and buy after we see the results of their earnings.
Thanks John

Q: First of all, thanks for the service you provide. I have found it extremely useful since becoming a member. Second, I apologize for the number of stocks covered in the question. If it is too many, please do not respond / post.
Within the last 12 months, I have purchased the above stocks strictly for growth or as momentum plays.
I would like to know which ones you would sell, either because their momentum has likely peaked, or because their share price growth prospects are poor. Please deduct as many credits as required. Thanks

Q: Can you please provide your top three Canadian or US small cap names for growth, along with a quick blurb on each re: their risks and opportunities? I have no sector preference and very high risk tolerance for this investment. Thanks.

Q: Good Morning,

Could I get a selection of your favorite small and mid-cap tech stocks that you'd want to start a position in today and build over time.

thanks!

Mark

Q: Hello 5i
I'm hearing a lot of chatter about small caps having good growth prospects going forward. I believe you like IWO for US small caps.
Can you suggest 5-6 of your favorite US stocks to hold as a basket of small caps instead of IWO if one wanted to own stocks directly.
Thank you so much!!
Dave

Q: Hi, Would like to start a small cap pool of potential high growth companies in Canada and US. What would be your picks? I have started with XBC and AT..
What would the recommended holding time be? so far my general mistake has been to give up on small cap stocks too early during periods of lull..AT is a good example I quit too early and missed a 10 fold increase and now I am back in..TSLA is another great miss for me not a small cap though.. Thank you.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: Do you have 3-5 suggestions for small cap US growth stocks ?

Q: With the streaming boom and OTT advertising hype, is SEAC on your radar at all? recent news Dec 21 expanding platform seemed to be interesting... very risky of course.

Also noticed some new growth names coming up specifically MITK and TT, can you expand on why these are perking your interest?

Q: Happy New Year to the 5i team.

I was hoping to get some feedback about how about to allocate about 11% of my total portfolio that is otherwise well-balanced and is made up of a mixture of Canadian dividend and large-cap stocks, and US and international ETF's.

These purchases will be in my TFSA and I am seeking greatest total return for the next 5-10 years. I am not afraid of risk but am also looking at sound investments rather than speculative purchases or quick trades.

I currently own GH, ISRG, LSPD and XBC and would like to add 4-5 more names. On my short list are the following: CRWD, MITK, ROKU, TTD, TT, U, VEEV and XYL.
Are there any from that list that you think match up well with my existing stocks? Alternatively, if you think there are better names that I haven't mentioned please advise.

Thanks in advance for all the great work you do,
Rory

Q: Peter and Team:
I own 15K score Media @ 35cents. The takeover of Great Canadian looks more certain and that means very few public gaming companies to invest in, Score being one of them. Do the chances of it being licensed in most of the canadian provinces look like it will come to fruition? The USA states? The last cash raise should help the balance sheet, but for how long? Your opinion please about adding to my position forgetting about sector weights. Would you also compare it to Mitek, which you spoke favourably about on Dec 24th. Which would you go with, if either, or would you wait until the possible retraction in Jan. ( Sorry, market timing. )
Thanks,
Ben.

Q: Thanks for helping guide my families investments in such a crazy year. With my twins having only 4 years until university 5i's advice was a game changer in terms of returns and helping one sleep at night. Over the last week I bought two of my nephews in there early 20's a 5i subscription (which due to your generosity also gives $70 to the food bank!). I am so excited for the potential your teams sound advice will give them for years to come

While I have you, a couple questions (please charge accordingly). I am full up on tech (and then some) but was intrigued by your recent responses on MITK and RDFN. If you were to pick one which would it be? Would you use DOCU as a possible sell candidate if you needed to raise cash to buy one of them? Secondly, would you buy either QS or CRSP after there meteoric rises?

Thanks and happy holidays,
Brian

Q: I see this as the first time you mentioned this company. An actual US small cap! Could you give some colour to what you see in it?

TIA

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 5 US stocks you expect to perform the best in 2021? Happy holidays and thank you for the great service!
