Q: Hi 5i team,
I follow a number of the stay-at-home stocks but question their valuations and wonder about their staying power. One that has been on my watchlist for awhile is CHGG. The stock price jumped recently after a very strong earnings report, so I may have missed the run. It is gathering analyst support for its on-line education platform for courses, tutoring and reference material for high school and college students. With a number of universities in Canada and the U.S. keeping campuses closed at least until the January semester, does CHGG have some staying power for its on-line educational services? What are your thoughts on CHGG?
Thanks again for the insight.

Q: I have a small position in OGI.T. Bought it two weeks ago (2.40) thinking it Is one of the better names in the sector and will be a survivor. It has had its time in the past where they would report a good quarter but with no consistency. What is you’re opinion on this company and the sector in general. I can wait on it for a few years but the sector as a whole looks like a dumpster fire and knowing there are a lot of other places to go with the money I’m wondering if it makes any sense to wait it out?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I know there are a lot of SHOP followers here. Late last week SHOP announced a partnership with PINS and introduced a new App which allows SHOP merchants to upload their catalogues to PINS. The deal is likely of little consequence for SHOP, but it should help PINS. I assume this would attract advertisers back to PINS if a broader range of products is now available. I thought PINS would have gotten a boost from the announcement. Are you still relatively positive on PINS? It seems to me it could be a nice acquisition for SHOP or one of the big guns.

Thanks again.

Q: I am about to triple the size of my investment in the portfolio above and give equal weighting to all. Virtually all of this new money will be in non-registered accounts. In total, this self-directed portfolio will represent 20% of my holdings; I also have 40% in a growth-focused pension fund, and 40% in a mix of ETFs through a robo-advisor.
Do you have any suggested changes to the list of names? I am primarily focused on growth, with a 3-5 year horizon.
Do you recommend a different weighting e.g. heavier on some, lighter on others?
What are your thoughts regarding timing? I am tempted to put all of the new money in now, betting on the sustainability of the recent recovery. But I understand that a phased approach will reduce risk.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi 5i -- my son (age 26) has recently started working in a well-paying job in the US. He's saving a good portion of his salary and has asked me what he should be investing in. No debt. He's looking to invest for long-term growth for retirement in 40 years or so. About 1/3 of his holdings right now are in Brookfield Asset Management, 1/2 are split between VIG and USMV, and the rest is Berkshire Hathaway and CN for his non-registered accounts. Right now non-registered savings are $75k.
His 401k is separate in Vanguard SP500 index fund. He is a believer in pay yourself first and has been able to save and invest 5,000/month US!

He's looking for good growth stocks or funds that will increase steadily over the long term. He's earning enough now that he doesn't need dividends in the short term but he's not opposed theoretically if everything fits together. Any thoughts on what he should be investing in? Thanks.

Q: Looking for some good growth prospects over the next 5+ years. Don't mind taking on something higher on the risk scale. I am evaluating some stocks that seem to be quality companies that have fallen dramatically. Would you please rank DOO, GOOS, CAE, LSPD as to how much upside you see from the current stock price for a long term hold.
