Investment Q&A

Q: In a TFSA I have a small position in Celestica (0.75% of my overall portfolio), a “smallish” position in Shopify (1.5%), and a more sizeable position in Amazon (4.5%). I am trying to decide whether to free up some funds by selling some Amazon, to add to Celestica and Shopify (perhaps 2% each), whether to just let things ride, or perhaps sell Celestica and add to Shopify. The portfolio is fairly well diversified and the objective is growth. If you were me, what would you do? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: The latest SA article on your website says CLS is massively overvalued.Your thoughts please.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

Realizing that there are a number of catalysts that 'could' boost the share price of PBH, we're concerned that it will take too long. It was purchased several years ago for a TFSA at an (ugh) average cost of $122. The last time I looked, it was trading at $80.23.
Even with the dividends received (thank goodness for dividends in this case), we are still down $17,300.

Here's the question: Even with all the positive catalysts going forward, do you think that the share price will increase enough to at least break even when accounting for dividends? Or do you think that we should swallow the loss and move to something else that has a more attractive valuation and greater upside?

As always, your comments and insights are very helpful.

Q: I have a sizable position in CLS.CA and am fortunate to have some in my TFSA. I know you can't give any sell or buy recommendations directly but as it is currently close to its one-year price target and with the recent Moody's downgrade I am wondering if a short-term drop (so trim the position) and buying it back closer to NVDAs earnings would make sense or not? CLS has a very thin operating margin as well so adds to my confusion of what to do. Any advice greatly appreciated as always!
Thanks, Lesley

Q: I'm writing to follow up on your response to Josh's questions regarding beaten-down Canadian stocks.

Would you kindly rank your preferred order of purchases among the names discussed? Are there any that you would consider "table-pounding" buys at current levels?

Please also include your thoughts on CNQ, as well as FOUR, ROAD, and CLBT.

Thank you,

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Which of these two would you initiate a position in today and why?

Thanks!

Q: Hello,

From all the companies in any of the 5i portfolios, would you be able to list which have been buying back shares or have had high insider buying within the last 6 months?

Thank you.

Q: I want to put some money into an RESP for our newborn granddaughter. I will add some more stable growth stocks over time, but I want to start with 1 AI stock or ETF and 1 crypto stock or ETF, as the base.
These will be the buy and forget, holdings in the RESP
Can you recommend a couple US/CDN stocks and etfs in both categories, and your thoughts on whether US or Cdn currency is the better option. For a long-term hold like this, am I better to use stocks or ETFs, as the base?

Q: I'm interested in initiating a position in CLS. What are your thoughts are the current evaluation? What would be the case for initiating a position today vs. potential detractors?

Q: Hi guys....great service....just wondering if you have 2-3 names on both sides of the border...undervalued and you think are great opportunities for bounceback over the next 6-12 months...

Q: Good Morning,

For a three year hold and potential share price appreciation through growth, in which order might you prefer to purchase the following stocks today: Nvidia, Goog, Nebius, Lumine, Topicus, Vitalhub, SE, Shop, Celestica, Propel, Goeasy, Nexgen, Hammond Power. Thank you. Brad

Q: The rumour today is that Trump's team is about to announce their first trade deal. It sounds to me like England. Assuming that more of these follow and perhaps increase in frequency, sentiment will change and I personally expect a risk-on environment.

Please list the 10 equities from the US and Canada (in any sector) that you project will move most aggressively over a 3 month period in an environment where trade deals are the daily news and not negative bluster. Note, I am not asking you to asses the probability of deals, just the 10 companies that are poised to benefit most in terms of share price. Note that these can be risky companies but if they are, please state that and explain why the upside makes up for the risk.

Please take an extra credit and state whether each suggestion is a short term trade or a long term hold.

Q: Hello Team,

Can you please rank the above Canadian Equities looking for best possible returns over the next 2-3 years. Thanks again!

Q: Please advise if this is a buy, hold or sell after earnings.
Thanks

Q: Celestica trades up to 25% of its outstanding shares on a weekly basis and up to 50% some weeks lately. Any thoughts as to the turnover of shares? Could this be hedge funds churning the stock ?

Thx

Q: 5i, I "must sell" one or two of the above, in which order would you sell ? I need cash to pay taxes

thank you

Q: What does the market expect next week? CLS has dropped 30% since last ER which was good so any thoughts please?

Q: You mentioned that Cls as high risk ,would you consider Hammond at the same level? And if not for tax loss which one is a better hold or what would be a better alternative to swap for Hammond if tax loss is prefered?Tks.Larry

Q: In the answer about "5 Canadian growth stocks would you start to accumulate today" you mentioned that Celestica was "high risk, but it has come down to attractive valuations". Can you give you us the most important and particular risks you see for Celestica?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you name a few companies that service AI data centres in a structural way such as construction, maintenance/repairs, cooling, etc. Also a few companies that provide the power needed to run these centres. These would be stocks that have good growth ahead of them. Any market cap is fine but at least one small cap and a couple of mid caps. Also a combination of U.S. and Canadian companies.
Thanks.
