Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Since your report on Firan Technology Group in early December, the move has been about 60% to the upside. Your report put the company on my radar, but I did not start a position. I am now considering jumping in and concerned about starting a position after such a big gain over then last few months. Do you see Firan continuing to outperform the market? Is this a longer term growth story that is still in the early innings? Is this increase in price being driven by defence-sector sentiment rather than Firan fundamentals? Any advice would be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i, I own BUG (not in your database) since about its low in 2023 . In 2025, it has underperformed ETFs like CIBR, HACK. IHAK did not do very well either.

First question: Why the discrepancies between these ETFs performance, BUG in particular? Some bad holdings?

Second question: Is it worth to have this kind of niche ETFs if we have broader ETFs like QQQ?

Third question: I could Sell BUG for a small profit, or Hold for a bit hoping a better price, or switch to a more expensive ETF (my last choice). Your pick?

Have a good weekend.

Q: So many members ask questions where they ask you to rank a number of companies which they suggest. Let me change that up a. bit. Please rank the top 10 Canadian companies that YOU think have the best chance of yielding the highest returns for 5i members In 2026. Perhaps an unfair question but I"m curious.

This was a question asked earlier which seems quite popular. Can I ask the same question for US stocks
Thanks

Q: Hi there. I'm looking at selling my position in Propel and adding to GRID and FORTIS. I am seeing some cracks in the economy and think these other two companies may benefit more in terms of share price appreciation going forward. Does this make sense?

Q: Hi team,
Once again my portflio is tanking while the index just cruises along . I have names such as shop, Csu, Lmn, Toi , gsy, Rddt , png and other growth names all down between 4-10%. Canadian names as a group especially weak today . What’s your take on today’s market action? As of today are there any screaming buys out there ? I was thinking of adding on Shops earning drop or Csu .

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: I must have been napping or looking in the wrong direction when these guys took off.

Lots of FOMO here. Can I still play? More upside potential?

Or look elsewhere for growth?

Perhaps similar but undervalued companies in this sector?

Thanks.

Q: Hello Team,

Can you please rank these companies in what you think will be the best return over the next 2-3 years (not worried about company size or industry). Thanks.

Q: Greetings,

1) To me it seems counter intuitive to buy a stock like VNP which has experienced such a steep appreciation in a short space of time.

Whatever happened to “reversion to mean” ? Surely this phenomenal rise makes the stock more vulnerable to a sharper pull back?

Or are we looking at a company that has a phenomenal runway and this is just the beginning?


2) Are there dangers making purchases based mostly on momentum? I am worried about “jumping on the bandwagon”? and making a FOMO purchase.


3) At what approximate price do you think the risk reward ratio is more favourable?

4) Is there a way of seeing who is actually buying at the moment? i.e General Public or Institutional or Insiders. Can we draw any conclusions from WHO is mostly buying?

My screen is showing a 4.5% insider ownership but NO recent insider purchases

Many thanks in advance for your sharing your thoughts.

Q: Hello Team,

I would like to free up a bit of cash in the cash account. In what order would you sell these 4 companies? These account for only about 3% of my overall portfolio and want to free up about half of this.
