Investment Q&A

Q: Could you expand on your thesis for this company please as I am interested in starting a position especially with the March 10 pull back but it’s still trading high on a PE basis and wondering if all their expected growth is already priced in. Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
These Tariff moves have gone from "not a big concern" to a major concern with anyone holding a growth portfolio. Currently I am down 23% from peak in short order since January, due to a higher concentration in Tech names and other growth names. An amazing fall considering I thought I was holding all solid names (such as NVDA. PRL, SHOP, TTD as examples) Do you view this as 2022 all over again? Or do you think the market will bottom sooner than it did in that year? Hard to say I know based on Trump saying that he no longer cares much about the market this go around. A much different tune that last term. However I suppose that could change overnight. I don't imagine Musk in enjoying Tsla's fall; perhaps that will end up in a clash with Trump on trade policies or hopefully talk some sense into him at the very least. Looking for your take on the current situation. Lastly, I assume that since major damage is already done would I be best to just hold the line at this point? Or sell out some growth names even at current levels? If buying new purchases what would be your top 3 names to add to at current levels?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Regardless of sector and size, would you initiate positions in these stocks? In which order?

Q: Good Day,
With the recent pull back, I am considering trimming my position in BRK.B (currently 7.7% of my overall portfolio) and starting a new position in ISRG. Would you view this as a prudent move at this point in time?
Thank you,

Q: All things being equal would you initiate a position in these companies at todays prices.If not at what price would you purchase each.

Thank you very much.

Q: I am getting ready to DCA into these stocks in an unregistered account with higher than average risk profile. According to me, these stocks had a bit of a pullback with possibly more on the way.

In what order would you DCA into the stocks mentioned above? Is there any stock that you think should be excluded from this list?

Thanks

Q: Are there any US stocks that are getting hit right now that would be good buys for long term growth holds?

Q: These 2 stocks are health care and considered defensive. At what price for these two stocks would you consider a good price to buy?......Tom

Q: Hi Peter,

Please advice 3-5 stocks to invest in now… which should be safe in the long term (10+ years) and have the max potential for growth.
Stocks can be Canadian or US.

Thanks
Harry

Q: Give me 5 stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that will not be affected that much even if Trump raises the tariffs 25% or more.
Thanks Again

Q: In January you suggested a portfolio for 2025 could look like the one noted below. I’m 90% invested. position size is a high of 5% (full position) and 2.5% (half position) depending on my perception of size/risk. Based on the current climate, I lowered Nvidia is down to 3.5% - anything you would modify today? 5i - a mix of quality Cdn. and US stocks, with a lean to growth: GOOG, NVDA, VRT, CLBT, AXON, JPM, RTX, CRM, NBIS, ISRG, BKNG. CSU, TRI, BN, WSP, WELL, GLXY, CLS, ENB, TD, SLF, V, BAM, COST and CRWD. Calling out I also have a 4% position in Amazon and 2% Shopify.

Q: What are your top 6-7 growth stocks for Canadian and US markets and what makes each one worthy of making the list (moat, momentum, management etc)?

Q: Hello 5i team, I am a young investor looking for the top 5 growth stocks you’d recommend for long term hold currently.

Thank you!

Q: I currently hold MSFT, NVIDIA and COST in my TFSA. I took a loss on BTX and now have cash to reinvest.
Should I buy more of the above 3 or diversify and if so any suggestions without making specific recommendations

Q: Please rank these stock for risk relative to US Tariffs from High to Low.....yes, wonder how defensive these US stocks are......Many thanks.....Tom

Q: I am heavily tech weighted and am considering selling my entire position in NVDA and some CRWD as I have large gains in both. I would use the proceeds to buy positions in FLUT and SYK. I would still have position in AMZN, ASML, CRWD, GOOG, META, MSFT and VRT.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Q: Please rate the following stocks to purchase today for a long term hold.

Q: Hi Folks,

Can you suggest 3 conservative growth stocks and 3 aggressive growth stocks for each the U.S. side and the Canadian side that you would be buyers of today for a 5 year hold?
Many thanks for your sage advice through the ups and downs of this turbulent market!

Q: 3 month treasury TBIL any restrictions on adding or taking money out. I want to buy US to try and off set the fall in CAD. What does the 3 month designation mean. What's your 3 US equities ...Plus 3 Canadian. And short description why and in what order you like them.

Q: Good morning 5i,

I'm expecting some turbulence coming for sure. I doubt all is priced in with the tariff battle. Of course nobody knows. But opportunity may be knocking.

I refreshed myself on Peter's cover call write up from years past. I'd love a new take on selling covered calls to enhance your income and some strategies relating to it. ie, OTM, time frame etc.

And some top stocks in your view for writing on. Excluding NVDA, already sell OTC cc on my position.

Thank you very much.
