Investment Q&A

Q: We have new money to invest and would like to use it to correct our only significant sector weighting imbalance, which is in technology. The sector is currently represented by CSU, DSG, KXS and SHOP, where all but CSU are down.

5i has often stressed the importance of both maintaining target sector weights and not leaving too much cash idle. Now we find ourselves with the technology sector struggling and would like some guidance on how to proceed.

For the existing positions, which are long term holds, would you be inclined to spread out the additional investments over the medium term, say the next 6-12 months, or would you tend to be more aggressive, investing in the shorter term?

How would you rate (1-10) CSU, DSG, KXS and SHOP for additional money today?

If we were to initiate long term positions in TOI, TIXT, NVEI and LSPD today, how would you rate them?

Once again, a big thanks to you all at 5i! We've just renewed our membership after a first year. We only wish we'd known of your service earlier!

Q: I own the above three stocks in my TFSA and I'm down considerably on all so wondering at this point if you would bring any of them back to original weighting, sell or hold with a short reason why. Medium to high risk, long term growth investor.

Thanks in advance. Please deduct credits as you see fit.

Q: I bought the above stocks in my Margin account last year as a basket of small caps and I'm down on all so wondering at this point if you would bring any of them back to original weighting, sell or hold with a short reason why. Medium to high risk, long term growth investor.

Thanks in advance. Please deduct credits as you see fit.

Q: I want to add BRP to my portfolio but I dont want to be the sucker that adds it just before it and the market tanks even more. Thoughts on timing to add this name?

Q: WHAT IS YIUR OPINION OF THIS STOCK> THANKS

Q: Thank you for your great service I look at the questions almost every day. My question is about Shopify it looks to me that it has broken some support level. Could this mean the next level of support is back in the march lows of 2020? My technical analysis is not very good so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Q: Which name would be your better choice for a three year hold in terms of combined return(yield+SP gain)? Thanks.

Q: what , if anything,will trigger a rebound in shop apart from general market conditions. if they buy deliverr is this a good move.

Q: Goeasy is a great buying opportunity under $120 ($119.30 as I write) with a 3% dividend, 7/8 years of dividend increases plus great management, great growth, etc. I'm thinking people are afraid of inflation (I'm 70 so been there) or repositioning funds. Even with a full weight 5% posn I am tempted to add. Your thoughts on going over weight.

Q: Can you comment on Amazon taking another run at SHOP. This one seems more established than the last attempt to replicate. Also throwing it in free for Prime users could be appealing to new business owners. How concerning is this?

Q: What are the expected earnings for the upcoming quarter (Q1 2022).

Q: What are your thoughts about Chartwell Reit's plans to divest itself of 16 long term care homes?

Q: I notice in your answer to Jacques ISD about what "buy and forget" stocks you would suggest in the US and Canada, conspicuously SHOP is missing from that list.

I detect from the tone on many of your answers you are becoming less and less positive on this name.


So, why was it not on your list to him, and am I right with my observation and if so, why?

Thanks

Q: What the heck just happened? April 19.

Thank you.

Q: What is your outlook for kinaxis

Q: hello 5i:
2 questions.
Question 1: we hold OTEX and are considering selling and replacing with NVEI. What is a reason, or reasons, we should NOT do this, as overall you are in favour of such a move (your recent posts).

Question 2:
AVGO vs QCOM; which do you like and why?

thanks

Q: You mentioned "rate declines" in one of your comments on TFII yesterday. What exactly are the rate declines you refer to? Thanks.


5I RESEARCH ANSWER:

TFII is getting hit on rate declines and recession fears, so much depends on an investors' time frame. It may stay weak in the short term. But we think $95 would be quite attractive, and it could get there on some market weakness.

Q: I have trimmed some of my oil % gas stocks today back to my sector weight and would like to rotate the proceeds to other stocks. I already have the Balance Portfolio of stocks including MG at full position and was thinking of buying some LNR to complement MG or do you think there are other stocks in the Balanced Portfolio that you would consider more compelling at this time? Could you name your preference? Thanks.
