Investment Q&A

Q: Any reason why SHOP had declined much more than the overall market this week? I don't see any news. At what point might one add to position or is now not the time?

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: Propel stock had, lately been doing well, hitting a high of $42, late January, after an analyst upgrade. Today, a month later, it has done full circle, back to $34.50, where, it was trading since October, 2024.

Is this just profit taking or a shadow of the big brother GSY ( just reported ), in your view, or something has changed ( Trump jitters ) ?

Do you still continue to expect excellent growth ( UK acquisition etc ) and would be comfortable adding after this pullback ?

Thank You

Q: Long term owner of KXS. Happy to be a patient long term investor as long as the investment thesis is not deteriorating. Are you seeing any signs in their numbers that KXS business is deteriorating or getting disrupted? Revenue growth, margins, new customers, any other metrics that you feel are relevant to the question.

Thanks.

Q: DEFI was trading around 10c little over a year ago. Is the 50x increase justified?
Interesting company, I am just wondering.

Q: Hi,
Between these high growth names, which do you like best and how would you rank as best risk adjusted return to start a new position? Thanks!

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: It looks like biotech stocks are on a tear, especially those that may benefit from AI. Do you have any names that you might recommend? I'm considering the Arkg fund but I don't quite trust Cathy Woods after losing money on the Arkk fund in 2021. Thank you,

Jason

Q: For a buy today, which one, or both and why?
Thanks Again

Q: I plan to reluctantly trim CSU from 15% down to 10%. I have sufficient LMN, TOI and WSP. Can you give me 3 growth stocks to consider for my TFSA with the CSU proceeds? I tend to be a long term investor with not many trades.

Thanks for the tremendous service!

Doug

Q: These two (especially SERV) are tanking this A.M, presumably because of the news that NVDA has dissolved their position in both. My initial thoughts are that this changes nothing of substance for the company (SERV) itself, and especially that it still has its deal with UBER. Of course substance and sentiment are separate animals. In general how does one play this? Do you wait a few days and see what transpires, buy more? Sell? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - When searching the symbol DEFI I get two results for Defi Technologies, one in Canada and one in the U.S. Does the one in Canada trade on the OTC and therefore would it be preferable to buy it on the U.S. exchange. There seems to be very little info on this company. Could you provide a summary of its operations and fundamentals including your opinion of its potential.

Q: I'm looking to add a dividend growth stock to my portfolio and considering DOL, TRI, STN, GSY, WCN. What are your views on these stocks and please rank given current market conditions and price. I hold others such as BN, TFII, CSU, and ATD. Others to consider?

Q: I've held XYZ in a reg account for a while now awaiting a recovery (down 50%) that never seems to take hold. I have to imagine there are much better opportunities, particularly in the US tech space. What would be some suggestions for replacement I could explore. I've had my eye on FOUR for a while, thoughts on this one as well would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Q: Can you name a handful of ETF options for long term holds in my son's RESP account. Growth, dividend, and balanced. Looking for exposure in Canada and USA. I don't want the headache of managing stocks for this portfolio. I'd rather have something that I can just buy and not look at it for 15 years until he needs it.

Q: Earnings are up but outlook is down - possibly because of Kennedy appointment - would appreciate your comment as I do not seem able to access their earnings statement recording.

Q: Hi 5i
Can you please elaborate on this company.
It sounds quite interesting as a financial technology company.
I'm unsure how relative this space will be going forward.
Please enlighten.

Thanks
Cal

Just curious how these alike small cap recommendations are initially sourced .. Heat Map Pop up on Bloomberg terminal or does 5i research analyst infact USE the Defi platform ? Pls advise

* not OWN as per 5is conflict of % policy

Q: Is TRI worth getting into at today's prices after the recent jump? How favourably does it compare to some of your other favorite growth stocks? Incremental buy-in and slow accumulation today, or a larger position?

Q: Hi. I totally missed the boat on Palantir. When the stock was in the high 20s, my beliefs and lots of what I read was confirming that the stock was over priced (at least that is what I thought), and I felt same as the stock rose to the 30s, 40s, .... and now over a hundred. And I still feel that the stock will need to correct at some time, as it has a trailing P/E in excess of 500 and possibly a P/E of at least 300+ looking forward. I made exactly the same mistake with many other companies such as Netflix, Facebook, .... I know that small, newer companies can exponentially increase their profits as they grow up but there is no guarantee that they will be successful (let alone be excessively successful).
So my question is three fold (please deduct necessary credits).
1. What did I do wrong here? I watched the stock go up and up and never pulled the trigger, thinking it was always too expensive. I sometimes feel it is more of a meme stock.
2. Would you buy Palantir at these prices / why?
3. Do you feel that there may be some other companies out there that may be in their early days (or well established) with lots of room to grow. If yes, your listing a few of your top convictions, along with a sentence (or two) explaining your rationale and intuition would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
