Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!!
First, I would like to thank everyone for your support and hand holding in these trying market times!! You have helped me keep panic and the temptation of emotional selling at bay. My question: I am building TFSA’s for my kids . Could you please give me 5 long term holds either US or Canadian which you think hold decent growth prospects for the future for them . I understand that you do not have a manic crystal ball . Cheers, Tamara

Q: High growth stocks. A recent NP piece by Peter H. advised investors consider these vs. conservative picks coming out of a bear market. "Stocks that used to be 50X sales are now 3X sales and still growing at 50%+...a Bloomberg screen shows 982 companies with 50% sales growth in the next year."

Could you provide 10 Cdn. stocks in this category or better yet provide a link to the Bloomberg screen. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

With small and mid-cap stocks at very low valuations what would be your must owns for stocks in the US and Canada for solid growth over the next 1-5 years with the core characteristics that you look for including solid growth in revenues, strong balance sheet and etc.?

Over the course of the next 6 months would you be a buyer of small to mid cap stocks or large cap stocks? I'm a long-term investor with a medium to high growth risk tolerance.

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: I am looking at one of these three to add to my TFSA for better than average returns for when the market returns to better times over the next two years.

Q: Can you provide a 'buy' list for a person wanting to deploy $200,000 (inside RRSP) with the goal of creating 5% or more sustained cash flow - as well as growing the original capital to keep up with inflatiion? We do not have company pensions - this would serve to supplement our government pensions.
Thinking, 20 stocks across all sectors @ $10,000 each (or 5%)
Also could you include 10 growth stocks (inside TFSA) for a total of $250,000 - gotta have some fun ;)
Many Thanks
Jan

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! I have made some money on Dcbo and am thinking of swapping out into Trisura in hopes for higher growth. Does this make sense to you??

Q: submitted a question last week but received no response
provide your top 5 growth picks. place them in ranked order from excellent to good. also provide why each one is on the list. what makes each one worthy.what is catalyst for a big move apart from general market sentiment. what makes each one standout.

Q: Please assess the impact of the latest acquisition on long term profit.
Thank you

Q: Understanding that we are currently seeing significant negative sentiment and volatility, can you please rank your current top Cdn and U.S. quality-name buying opportunity candidates that will reward patient investors with 3-5 year time horizons?

Q: Hi 5i,

I am calculating a fcf yield for go easy,
and Trisura as being 18% and 23.5% respectively ($20/$111 and $7.38/31.36). Both these companies are compounders with more revenue and earnings quarterly. How are they not table pounding buys here? Can you please provide your thoughts and comments.

Q: Hi!
The recent market decline has likely created buying opportunities. Would you be able to list about 20 companies that are "cheap" right now and back-up-the-truck-able?

Q: Morning 5i team, thanks for all the great advice you supply to the members.
I have $50K to invest and would like your advice. This is what I’m currently holding in my non registered account.

Canada
AC, BYD, GSY, LSPD, SHOP, TDB3098, TOI
US
AAPL, SQ, CRWD, CSX, ETSY, MA, MSFT, NVDA, PYPL, UXI, ROBO, U

Considering my high exposure to Tech and your last market update, I might need to consider more consumer cyclical and financial stocks as well as others to balance the portfolio. I’m looking to have a mix of growth and value holdings.

I would appreciate your recommendations on new Canadian or US acquisitions and possible entry points. Can you recommend one of two of the US Tech stocks to sell and replace it with GOOG.

Please take as many credits a you see fit.

Thanks
Joe

Q: Five years ago MFC was around $25 a share. Now shares are just under $23 a share. Not great!

Considering selling MFC and buying TSU thinking that TSU will outpace MFC in terms of future returns. Would you concur with this switch and if so, could you please provide some rationale for your views. Also would TSU be suitable for an income oriented account? Thanks.

Q: What 4-5 Cdn Companies would go good with this group if looking to balance things out a bit (more growth focus vs income). A couple of stocks I had in mine include: BAM.A, DOO, MG, DOL. Do any of these stocks seem like they w/b a good fit/mix or our there others that you think would be better choices?

Q: i am looking for 3 small cap canadian or u.s companies for growth until dec 31-i know you do not like time limits but that is on me. no oil and i already own lots of acuity and goeasy and inmode and crox. thanks dave

Q: I've owned Trisura for some time, and it's been very volatile. Is the growth over the next 3 to 5 years worth the volatiliy, or should I switch to something more stable like Intact Financial.

Q: Of the following, are there any you see as particularly vulnerable today? Held in a long-term account but I am considering shifting the risk profile in light of existing market conditions, and potentially closing out 1 or 2 positions:

SHOP, LSPD, TIXT, EGLX, TSU
