1 small cap stock
1 mid cap stock
1 large cap stock
1 ETF

Thank you

Q: Hi, I'm thinking of initiating a position in one of these. Thinking of three plus years and the highest growth. How would you rank these in order, and please give a good entry/price. Please note that I just submitted a question but forgot to include DOL and GIB.A. Thank you.

Q: We're taking some profits from my wife's position in TVK, and I'm looking to establish a new position for her.

For what might qualify as tech/AI, she has DSG, AMZN.ca and Goog.ca. On the AI theme, I'm considering Avgo.ne (I'm overweight Nvidia), ASML.ne or AMD.to. She also lacks in Communications and tech generally, so I'm also thinking NFLX.ne. and Uber.ne.

This is intended to be a long-term holding with growth in mind, so can you rank the five companies -- AVGO, ASML, AMD, NFLX and UBER in order of preference please in terms of long-term growth.

And thank you for your service over the last decade-plus, because retirement certainly wouldn't be in sight without 5I's help.

Q: Might buy a house, probably won't buy a house. Prices so high, I've been maxout out the FHSA so far and it's mostly in VEQT, bit of PLTR and CRWD which have done well. What other US or CAD stock would you recommend (shorter term BUT will leave it in there longer if market goes down/ ultimately could convert to RRSP) that is underpriced and or could have huge potential upside. Imagining turning the FHSA $40,000 limit into ... ideally a $200,000 down pmt over the next 3-10 years

Q: Hi, if initiating a position today, which of these two would you prefer, and why? What would be a good entry price for both? Thank you.

Q: Hi can you please give me your updated views on Kneat and Descartes. Both are out of favor right now but interested if growth rate is still intact?

Q: How would you rank the following for purchasing today? Are there any you would not purchase or would only purchase a portion of final holding?

Q: Good morning, These stocks have shown strong returns over the past 5 and 10 years. In your opinion, and looking ahead at the next 3-5+ years, which order might you choose to buy today? Please also indicate if any of these might still be a 'hold' for now.
Thank you for the service!

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: Is there a relationship between Geotab and Descartes, and if so what is it?

Q: For the listed stocks above, in what order you purchase them....the top being the first/? Also what would be a suggest purchase price?....Thanks for your insights....Tom

Q: I hold all these tech stocks as part of a well diversified portfolio with weightings below. Tech stocks are 25% weight in my overall portfolio. The issue I'm having is determining how many to hold in this sector and what weight to allocate each. All new names that I see on my potential watchlist with high growth seem to be all tech names as well (CRWV, CRCL, SRAD, GENI, RDDT, etc..) but I'm hesitant adding more tech if my holdings are already high quality unless one of them is dragging its feet. I'm trying to balance between holding long term compounders like CSU, LMN, TOI vs high growth shorter term names like NBIS, VRT, CLS that are benefitting from AI tailwinds which could turn quicker. Do I hold 5 companies at 5% or 10 companies at a mix between 2%-5%.

Do you see any overlap here in names that could be combined? If you had to rank these names based on growth and risk/reward, what would they be currently for the next 5-10 years? What is the high level process you go through when trying to determine between candidates for a sector? Thank you!

Constellation Software Inc. 5.60%
Lumine Group Inc 5.04%
Shopify Inc 3.02%
Crowdstrike Holdings Inc 2.20%
Topicus.Com Inc 2.17%
NVIDIA Corp 2.07%
Cellebrite DI Ltd 1.58%
Vertiv Holdings Co 1.41%
Celestica Inc 1.32%
Descartes Systems Group Inc 1.00%
Nebius Group NV 0.39%

Q: Which stock would you prefer?

Q: Would you favour DSG over KXS today? Would holding both in a portfolio be complementary or would there be too much overlap?

Q: I'm having a hard time understanding the huge drop in DSG only because I've realized I don't fully understand what DSG does. I thought I did.

But, in re-reading your report, I started to get a "Charlie Brown Brain" -- you know, the part where the teacher is speaking to the students, seemingly very clearly, but all the students hear is "wha wha wha wha wah".

In real world terms, providing an example with crayons if necessary, how does it serve transportation providers, freight forwarders, and custom brokers? By scheduling for them? Is it as simple as that? In essence they act like the "air traffic controllers" for the ground forces of trucking, shipping, freighting companies?

And then, if it's simply a matter of providing scheduling and such, why is there an expected 7% drop in workforce because of Trump. Are we seeing such a huge decline in cross-border traffic?

I "think" I'd like to hang on. As you suggest DSG has now become a HOLD.

Yet, if the tail really is wagging the dog at this point (i.e., Trump tariffs being applied willy nilly with no consideration to the true economic effects on both countries) ... how wise can it really be to hang on? We're stuck with this guy til 2028, presumably.

Conceivably, it could get a lot worse.

A considered argument of the pros and cons of keeping DSG while reviewing the impact and effects would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Q: Would you "buy the dip" on DSG right now, or wait out what appears to be a pending fraud investigation?

Q: I have virtually no position in DSG. IS the current drop consists of an opportunity to start building one? Or wait to see where the price stabilises? What would be a good entry point level?

Q: Hi

In another question you indicated you’d be much more comfortable the buy instead of ENG…but how comfortable on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being extremely comfortable based on the results today?

Ok thanks have a great weekend!

Q: hi folks

both enghouse and descarte have taken a bit of a hit on results

both still solid companies; which would you prefer for the next 3+ years

or neither?

no current position in either currently

thx as always
