Investment Q&A

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: 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: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles

Q: April 28th you answered Kevin ranking these stocks in this order, there has been news on some, any changes you'd make to your guess?

Q: Would GRID be one of your top 3 small caps currently? Please name your top 3 regardless of sector. Thanks

Q: What % of Propel's business is in Canada vs USA vs International after their latest acquisition?

Thanks....Steve

Q: What do you believe has the higher probability of greater return- 10 yr Hold. Is there a name that you call out as an alternative to these?

Thx as always for the excellent service.

Q: Hi, I'm over 6.5% on these two and want to trim to invest in other small caps. Which one would you trim more, and what are a couple non-financial sector but similar (higher grown potential over the next 2-3 years)? Thank you.

Q: I am thinking of taking a small position possibly in one of these two small cap stocks .Would you have a preference and maybe an entry price? Thanks again for the great advice that you provide.

Q: I hold positions in all of these companies and I have some money to put into the market. Could you rate these in terms of which positions you would add to given the potential for total rate of returns given their current stock price, business model tailwinds, risk vs reward etc.

Conversely, if you would rate these as a hold then feel free to mention that as well. Thx.

Q: Since the beginning of May, I've noticed 6 insiders selling approx 52K shares for an approximate sum of $!,776K. I realize that insiders will sell for a variety of reasons yet am wondering if you have heard some rumblings as to the reasons why?

Thank you

Q: I'm considering investing in Kraken Robotics and/or Propel - both for a TFSA .
Please rate these and suggest a reasonable entry point.

Q: In a recent question on conviction for a 3-5 year hold in the 5i model portfolios you recently ranked these 3 financials lowest. Do you see problems on the horizon that would limit your enthusiasm for ranking them higher?

Q: Do you predict much growth for EQB in the next year or two? Would you lump GSY into the same growth projectory? Would you expect PRL to provide better long-term growth than either of these?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i,
In registered accounts I hold these financials: POW, BNS, CM, EQB, PRL; these tech: TXF.B, HTA and the industrial MDA. I've held them for a long time and I'm pleased with all of them.
However, given Trump may be serious about decimating the Canadian economy (witness latest threatened increase in steel and aluminum tariffs) and likely can do a lot of damage even if he doesn't completely succeed, I'm considering cashing in holdings in Canadian names and replacing with US names through purchasing CDR's (I don't have a US account and don't plan on opening one). A few of questions arise:
1. Do you think my reasoning makes sense, or would it be an over-reaction to make the move regarding all or some of my above holdings?
2. If the move is worth considering, can you suggest CDR alternatives for any of the above names you think should be replaced?
3. If I do replace any of the above CDN names with equivalent or nearly so CDR's, what can I expect regarding dividend income compared to that from the CDN holdings (all of which - except MDA - are currently yielding based high, based on long ago purchase prices)?
Please deduct as you see fit.
Thanks 5i,
Peter

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: Of which listed names would you be most inclined to start a new position; for growth in TFSA accounts (granted some size difference)?

Q: How would you rate buying these growth stocks today for a 3 -year hold?

Amzn, goog, VHI, PRL, CLS , HPS.a , GLXY, VHI, FOUR, ROAD , CRM, CLBT

Q: Hi,
Having read a lot of Q&A s on both these stocks, I know you still support a Hold position and bit cautious because of tariffs drama but not too worried about the management or long term prospects of either company.

My question is this. I have GSY and understandably now I am down. I was up a while back before it trended down. However I did take the profit in PRL! (Lucky me!)

Should one sell some of GSY and buy with that money a position in PRL now? To hedge one's bet in that risky lending domain? Or add to GSY gradually and wait? If I am right in interpreting your answers, you think PRL has more potential for faster growth and rebound than GSY. Hence I am contemplating on such a move.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: I'm in need of cash. Please place these companies in order of which you would sell first. Thanks.
