Q: With the recent 10% correction in technology stocks, do you think it is a good time to buy. Would appreciate your recommendation of 3 Canadian and 3 US stocks to buy. I am looking for growth and can take risk. Thanks

Q: I purchased Docusign last year and until very recently it seemed like a great choice. It’s sharp decline that began in late February has been significantly steeper than the tech sell-off in general. The shares are now right about where I paid for them and a hair away from succumbing to the old adage “never let a gain turn into a loss”. The steep sell-off has me worried that it is a precursor to the street expecting disappointing earnings when they report this Thursday. I know what the consensus forecast is, but what does 5i’s crystal ball predict for their upcoming Q4 earnings and the market reaction?

Q: When do you think we are going to see the market sell off settle down in some of these names? Is this panic selling by retail investors or a more troubling move by smart money out of these names entirely? I'm just finding it hard to imagine that the prospects for these companies changed as dramatically as the share price in recent weeks. Take NVDA for instance. I thought it was everyone's darling a few weeks ago when I bought it over $100 higher. I'm holding but it's hard watching these things fall so dramatically each day without reprieve it seems. Thanks.

Q: Please feel free to disregard this question if it is outside the scope of this fantastic service.

High growth tech stocks such as Unity, trading at a high multiple of future sales, have been pummeled due to a rise in the yield on ten year treasuries. Future earnings will be worth less, so this makes sense. I understand this relationship directionally but not quantitatively. I would like to understand the relationship better in a quantitative way, a sensitivity analysis if you will. Can you offer insight into how a 1, 2 or 3% increase in ten year rates effects the value of future earnings? And in turn what is an appropriate adjustment in stock price for a stock trading at 10, 25 or 50 times future sales?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

Sorry if this as been asked before but I am wondering what your top 3 growth companies would be irrespective of sector on both the U.S. and Canadian side? (So 3 U.S. and 3 Canadian) to take a position in on this pull-back?

Thanks for all you folks do, very appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i team,

Any thoughts on how far this trend of selling tech or renewables will continue? Looks like NASDAQ is now negative ytd with many of your Canadian techs down 20+ percent ytd.

When would you seriously start putting floor bids on the favs like CSU, KXS, LSPD, WELL, REAL, SCR, and XBC? If you could put in dollar amts for each it would also be great.

Thx

Q: I currently hold STC, CSU, SHOP, KXS and OTEX as tech in a well-diversified portfolio. I am thinking of selling OTEX in order to get more long term growth. I want to maintain my diversification in tech but also don't want to add on significantly more risk. I was thinking of adding one of LSPD, CRWD or U.

You have mentioned in the past LSPD and SHOP could be seen as similar. I could use a US-based investment so does it boil down to CRWD or U? Or, given my parameters, just stay the course or is there another equity you think may fit better?

Appreciate the insight.
