Q: I'm having trouble with the high valuations of some of today's star stocks. On top of that, and as illogical as it is, I have trouble investing in the these stocks after they have run so far. What 2 or 3 stocks are you guys watching at this time that are at beginning stages but have the potential to turn into stars like shopify
Thx

Q: Hello 5i team,
I read that Artiza's director sold last week 1.9 million $ worth of stock. As well as two other executives exercised their options and sold.
Would you read anything negative ?
Between GOOS and ATZ, which one would you prefer for a long term holding I need more consumer discretionary in my portfolio. (I am 60 and will not require to access any funds).

Regards,
Elaine

Q: Hi,
What are your thoughts on the score going forward. They missed on earnings and also announced a partnership with the NBA. We have a very small starter position that has already doubled. What is your outlook going forward? Quality of management? I am debating purchasing more shares after today’s pull back.
Thanks,
Kerri

Q: I am looking for a stock for my TFSA and am thinking about either Nutrien or Thompson Reuters. I am retired and not likely to need this money for many years, if ever.

Ntr has a pretty ugly chart with lower lows and lower highs for the last year, but a pretty good dividend. It might appear to be bottoming at around $60. They also seem to be rather wedded to their old production technologies and are not putting much into R&D (unlike some competitors), which causes me some concern, though it is perhaps offset by tremendous change taking place on their retail side .

TRI seems to only go up, but has only half the yield. They've certainly made a lot of changes in the last couple of years.

Recognizing that they are very different businesses, which would you prefer to own and why?

Q: Hi,
Can you tell me what you think fair share value is for Aritzia now? Ive held it less than a year, and am thrilled with being up $8 (almost 50%). Im just trying to decide if the best part of this ride is over or if it has potential and reasoning to make more solid gains. Even if you think growth will continue but slow down from the current pace, I will likely sit on it a while. I just dont want to kill my returns by waiting if its likely to stagnate for a while.

Thanks

Q: Hi Team
I dodged a bullet with hbc , I was so fed up with the gong show I decided to keep the stock, knowing if the deal feel through it would go way down, but I figured the clowns behind it were going to suffer a lot more than me, I did sell at $ 10.80, just glad to be out with a little profit. Next up is ret, not sure what to do it......avergae down and hope for a recovery, or hand on or just sell. It is in a non tax account. Trying to get my head around it, they have lots of cash, not sure the value of their properties, can not find out what they own and what they lease. What do you feel about this one, does it go down the drain like woodwards, Eatons Sears......etc.....look forward to your opinion
thanks

Q: Seems to me you like companies with excellent momentum. I would like to add some companies to my TFSA and would appreciate it if you could provide a list of 6 companies that you respect the leadership of, are currently showing strong momentum and you believe can maintain that strength throughout 2020.

Please suggest 5 each U.S. and Canadian companies that you consider offering the
' best ' growth, short and medium term, with no consideration of industry.
Thanks

Q: In a recent question you mentioned that the cannabis industry will most likely go through a significant consolidation and an investor should wait until things settle out. Wondering if this would include KHRN, they seem to be in a different segment of the industry and different market. They have also had some interesting news recently. Could you please comment
