What would be your top 5 Small/Mid cap US and CDN names currently? Could you also indicate the order that you would purchase?

Thanks

Q: First, want to thank you for the service provided over the years. I recently reached a financial milestone (another 0 at the end of the net worth statement at age 33) and 5i played a massive part. Biggest elements were the great stock picks (obviously) which allowed me to outperform the market quite a bit, as well as the reassurance to stay long when the market has a fit.

My question is can you provide a list of top picks for long term growth that are less associated with AI. I'm heavy in AI, want to stay overweight, however would like to slowly diversify a bit over time. Open to a mix of risk levels.

Q: One of the members mentioned feeling bad that he had missed the boat on the rising tide. I am also in that boat. I had planned to buy something but kept putting it off. That being said, are there still some bargains around? I am thinking of the usually favoured stocks such as Shop, Google, CSU etc.
Thanks for the greatest service

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please, if not already asked.
A prior question on the Q expectations you had indicated...'Revenue expectations are $39.36 mln for the quarter'..... but it looks like the 'Consolidated revenue for the quarter was flat at $28.4 million.'
Is this a concern? Or is there a difference between 'consolidated' and 'revenue'?
The forward guidance without the new acquisition looks good and probably even better with the acquisition (to be announced post completed acquisition).
Do you see any obstacles with the potential acquisition, ie anything that might prevent it?
I have owned the stock since about 18-24 months...and I thank-you for the suggestion!!!

cheers,
Steve

Q: I appreciate your guidance, and I don’t reach out often, so thank you in advance for your time. For a retired investor with a reasonably safe and conservative RRIF—who also does some consulting and has accumulated some extra cash—could you recommend two stocks with strong potential to double within the next year?

I understand that opportunities with this level of upside are inherently volatile and could decline 50–75%, but I’m comfortable with that risk for a small portion of my portfolio. It still feels like a better bet than buying hundreds of lottery tickets.

I’d appreciate a brief explanation of the rationale behind your two selections.

Q: Really enjoyed Chris White's inaugural appearance on BNN Market Call. Chris mentioned something along the lines that high beta stocks tend to have higher compounding (better returns even with above-market PE ratios). If this is indeed true (generally speaking), can you explain why this would be the case (the logic or math underlying this thesis)? Or, if I misunderstood what was said, please correct me/explain.
