Q: Hello
Could you please rank your top 10 companies from the list above. Ones that you would be happy to own at a full position. Thank you!

Q: I’m getting a bit Descartes valuation. P/E of around 80 for 20-25% earnings growth going forward. Am I better to switch to Google for a five year hold, just in terms of share price gain potential? Thx.

Q: Your report on TCS states that KXS and DSG are close competitors. I hold both of the latter would buying TCS make sense. How do you see the growth of each in the next few years?
Thank You
Peter

Q: I hold both at 1% positions. Which one would you increase to 3% currently, or would you add to both here?

Q: After reaching $111 H in mid sept,DSG has dropped back to trade sideways,basically in a range of some $98 to $104. Thinking of taking profit as bought at $70 on U recommendation in this volatile market, & buy back later.Your View please. Txs for u usual great services & view

Q: Hi the great team, can you name some examples of positive momentum stock . Thanks.

Q: All of the above are existing positions in my TFSA. Which three would you suggest adding to today?
Thanks

Q: Which company do you prefer if you were only going to buy one for safety and growth.

Q: HELLO 5i TEAM, I'm looking to add a couple of tech stocks after this down draw is past. Please advise the "NET DEBT" for each of the above companies, and which 5i would recommend a buy in a month or so.

Q: What are your thoughts on the most compelling buys today regardless of sector or country?

Q: Earlier this year we created an equal weighted 'balanced' portfolio of 30 Canadian companies in a non-registered account. Most were chosen from companies either covered by a 5i research report or included in a 5i model portfolio. The remainder were chosen, based on the 5i Q&A section, from what appear to be 5i sector favourites. All purchases in the portfolio are made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

As per an earlier question we posed, we then increased our positions in 12 of the 30 companies. At this time we would like to increase our investments in 6 of the remaining 18 companies. The intent is to increase the other 12 in approximately 4 months. Which 6 would you add to today? Please rank them, include a small blurb explaining each choice and suggest an entry point. Thanks!

Q: Which company, DSG or KXS, would have the best long term ability to help businesses sort out the current supply chain issues. I own both but would like to add to one. From reading all the answers to questions I suspect you like both but consider DSG larger and maybe cheaper. But I don't get a sense of how each one might increase business due to current supply chain issues going forward. Perhaps they are pretty close to being equal, but could you split hairs and indicate which one you think might be more worthy of topping up now?

Q: I tried to pull a stock list of B+ companies based on your reviews. Your thought on investing as an equal weight portfolio with a 5 year horizon.

Thank you!

Q: Looking for 3 companies to buy during a pull back, what companies do you suggest and at what price?

Q: If the market keeps falling for a bit is there anything particularly attractive? Can you try as best as possible to consider the effects of the Evergrande (potential) collapse all the while presuming that economic fallout will be mostly contained? In other words if new construction in China slows and it has some effect on mining and iron ore prices (for example) what is not effected or what kinds of companies and in which sectors will actually benefit? Or am I just overthinking developments that have too many moving parts to really make sense of? Thank-you.

Q: Balanced Equity Portfolio (Cdn & US Stocks): If 5i were just starting business today what 20 stocks would make up the portfolio?

Q: Can I please have your comments on Descartes recently announced earnings. Apparently it missed analysts expectations and is down significantly in after hours trading. What do you see for the future of this stock. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Since u recommendation of DSG on May 18,it has a "Fly me to the Month" move, hitting new highs after new highs. Your opinion on Q2 on Sep 8. Is it time to take some profit before report? Txs for u usual great views & services.

Q: Hi 5i Team: I am 8% weighting in Canadian tech with positions in LSPD and TOI. I am looking to add from DSG, ENGH, OTEX or KXS. In which order would you rank them for long term growth? Thank you for your continued excellent service.

Tom
