Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Team,
So; another brutal day for tech. My portfolio is tech loaded with many of 5i favourites. At this point my portfolio is down 18% from October’s highs. Whats your sense on what to do going forward? Hold the line and wait for a hopeful recovery? Add to highest conviction names that are down big? Or sell off some of these holdings and attempt to diversify into metals or something that has moment? My strategy in 2022 was to add to quality such as nvda and shop which paid off well, but now I am quickly almost in the same boat again it seems as 2022 sell off being Csu family heavy , shop , Rddt, gsy , Prl , Srad, Geni , Nvda to name a few weak performing holdings as of late . And standout buys today that are sticking out to you?

Thanks for the advice ,

Shane

Q: Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I'm kind of a deer stuck in headlights right now with regards to these software names, notably CUS, LMN, TOI, and with the news impacting TRI this morning. I've largely held onto these names and I'm not sure what to do here. Seeing constant and relentless daily selling is tough to stomach and time will only tell how much AI will impact these companies fundamentals.

In the meantime, what do I do? I don't want to hold onto losers and continue to see these go down further, at the same time, I don't want to sell at these lows. I know trimming some is an option. I have positions in these other names, do you feel any of these are vulnerable to AI severely impacting them? CRWD, SHOP, SRAD, GENI, SPOT

Thanks!

Q: Patience is wearing thin on some of these names, they just continue to have negative momentum and I don't want to sell into the negativity and sell just because others are selling. What are your thoughts? Are fundamentals still strong in these quality companies? Is your updated view still a hold on these? Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
Is it worth holding onto SRAD and Geni much longer? I am taking a bath on both of them for quite a while now. I had thought the gambling sector was "hot" when I bought these, but it seems I had bought at peak and sentiment has fallen off a cliff for the sector ever since. I understand patience may be required, but am also looking at lost opportunity. If you recommend selling them today, what opportunity would you look at deploying the cash into tomorrow?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hello Team,

I don't currently own any of the noted stocks, can you rank them in order in which you would purchase today based on a 2-3 year return. Thanks.

Q: Hello Team,

Can you please rank the below companies based on long term growth over the next 3 years.
No need to worry about size/industry etc. Looking at deploying some cash.
Thanks.

Q: The stock continues to struggle here- what are the catalysts to get the recovery going - is the prediction markets threat making this a trap? When are earnings due out? thanks

Q: Happy New Year 5i Team - I noticed the category 'Hidden Gems' in a communication from sometime in the past. Would you be able to provide a list of a few stocks that might fit into this category now, solid companies that have sold off for whatever reasons in spite of solid fundamentals and good growth prospects, US and Canadian. Any market cap is fine but with emphasis on small and mid caps
Thanks.

Q: hi, and hopefully Happy NEW YEAR!
I am down ( with percentage in brackets ) on the following Canadian equities:
CSU(13), ENGH(41), FSV(9), GLXY(31), LMN(17), NPI(40), PRL(12), SRAD(19), T(24), TRI(25), VHI(19).
Which stocks (if any) would you be comfortable adding to at these current levels, and please rank best to worst.
cheers, Chris

Q: All different in varying degrees. Please rank in order for best return 5-10year hold.

Thank you as always!

Q: Thank you for recommending GENI. Today it move up 12% plus. Is there any reason for high move and volume also higher.

Srad also move up 5%. Which one would you recommend that I add more.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi Peter,
Given the current valuations and the growth projection (or lack of), which two of these four stocks will most likely to have the least possibility of year end bounce and thus are ideal for tax loss selling? MDA, TRI, SRAD, or GLXY. Do you see any of these worth repurchasing for a 2 year hold after the 30 days period? Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
Do you still consider Srad and Geni solid growth names? I own both in moderation at a loss. Wondering if they are worth holding or if you would trade them in for any other “better” ideas at the moment? 10yr hold.

Shane

Q: Could i have your analysis of results - market not impressed

Q: Going into earnings what are your thoughts on how BKSY, SRAD and ORCL are performing? How is your confidence in these names moving forward?

Q: Please rank from best to worst at current purchase prices (for growth). Please also indicate if they would be a buy, sell or hold based on Thursday's prices.

Q: Hi Peter,
The share price of SRAD has been dropping for the past month. In your views, what are the reasons causing this negative momentum? Would it be a good idea to add more at the current price, or to sell for tax loss? Thanks.

Q: Similar question for both these stocks that you have liked or still like. Both have pulled back after making strong gains. Is there still momentum? How were the last qtrs? Should one buy the dip and get a fuller position in either of these or just hold?

Q: What would be your top 5, US small/mid cap stocks today? What would be good entry points?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Looking to reduce holding size after very favourable gains. What 3 or 4 names in the US would you consider for re deployment? (I hold NBIS already). Thanks.
