Q: Hello Team,

You mentioned earlier that when/if Small Caps go they should "GO".

Can you give you top 3-4 Canadian and top 3-4 US small caps that you think will "GO"!

Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,

The quarter has been quite a ride so far. Get a sniff of a miss or lower guidance and stocks drop faster than a toboggan coming down Mt Everest.

Do you have any recommendations that appear to be Buys if you don’t already have a position? Some examples are: DDOG, VRT, TTD, TMDX, SPSC, CELH, CLBT, ROAD, CECO, APPF, ASPN, POWL, (electrical grid suppliers), and any other intriguing opportunity? The purchases would be for a 3-5 year hold.

If feels like the tipping point for earnings for many companies has been reached. If a looming reporting date is like a 5-alarm fire warning to get ready to bail water and run for the hills, which sounds like… opportunity!

Thank you for all of your help and wisdom.

Q: Hello 5i,

We sold two stocks that had were poor performers but they improved in the past few months in our RRSP. Can you rank the following stocks to purchase if we were to initiate a 1/4 position today for a 5-year hold? Our intention is to start 2 or 3 positions to see where they go, and add funds to the best two over time.
Would the ranking be the same for a TFSA or non-reg account?

Thank you

Q: Thoughts on the dramatic reversal today in NVDA? Are these just the bots selling and then retail panicking causing more selling? Near term top? What are your general thoughts on the markets currently? Does tech need a cooling off period to reset? If you were trimming NVDA, what are some best ideas non tech or AI related to currently buy or add to? Long term investor and focused on keeping position sizing in line. Thanks!
