Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Team,
Could I have two sectors you recommend right now, and two Canadian names in each sectors please.
Many thanks!

Q: Recently, the tech market has been booming. During this period, I bought several volatile, high-flying stocks to capture the thrill of the momentum. Each position is relatively small—only about 0.5% to 1% of my portfolio. Despite that, they’re performing exceptionally well. I purchased them less than a few weeks ago, and I’m already seeing a total gain of around 20%.

My question is: are these stocks worth holding for the long term? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Also, could you rank the potential and strength of these six companies: CoreWeave, Galaxy, Circle, Bitmine, Monday.com, and AST SpaceMobile? Thank you.

Q: Can I get your updated view and opinion on SBET. I have a small position and down 15% and would like to add more. Already own a good sized position in GLXY which has done very well. I understand the volatility and risks in crypto. Can you comment on this recent news of SBET increasing their share offering and also the plan of tokenizing their stock. Do you see this as positive news and do you see more upside in ETH going forward? Also I think before you mentioned you favor SBET over BMNR, is that still the case today? Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i - for a long term investor, what are the most attractive 3 stocks in the Balanced and Income portfolios at todays prices?

Thanks, Neil

Q: Hi There,

PRL down almost 25% from its July high. What is going on here… Investor concern about bad loans? Are there any serious issues you see at the moment?

Thanks!

Q: Since 2021 COW has moved sideways. Do you see any growth in the next 5 years ? What purpose would it perform in a portfolio (growth, income, defence, etc.). As an alternative, can you recommend a few leading companies in the agricultural space at a reasonable entry point, their leadership role and their purpose in a portfolio for the next 5 years.

Q: Any idea about why it’s been so strongly last month or so? I take it you still think this is a buy even after recent gains. Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I focus mainly on the balanced portfolio, but own stocks from each of the other 2 portfolios. Could you list and rank the top 3 or 4 from each on attractiveness to buy now.

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i,
New to portfolio analytics, can’t say enough about this team! Bravo.

Circumstances forced me to shuffle financially this past year.
43, pension, rentals. 55 freedom or forget it.

Highest conviction, growth, maj; tech, leaning themes to the next decade, a sprinkle of sector diversity, large/mid/small caps, predominantly US. I’m aware of course of all the caveats here lol. A 12-15 starter pack would be fabulous.

This is you starting today; You have 300k.
I do add 700 per week, please exclude
BN, TRI, ISRG, COST, HIMS, NBIS, NVDA, BKSY.

Eagerly waiting! Thank you.

Q: Are you comfortable buying PNG at current price? If not, what would be your target to buy? Looking to start a position.

There has been a couple questions lately regarding GSY and PRL. In one question, you answer PRL over GSY. And then the next day, you indicate GSY over PRL. Which do you consider a better buy for growth, and why? I think also you mentioned there was going to be a follow up report on PRL. Is that still the case?

Thanks!

Q: What are your thoughts on how overvalued AI stocks are and what factors we should be concerned about that could cause the bubble to burst?

What are some good ideas for relatively safe stocks and etfs to hedge against a AI and tech weighted portfolio?

Q: Which for a growth orientated TFSA based on secular theme, current price , and expected growth. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Somehow i missed the change you made in the Best Stock Ideas section. When did you guys make this change? Was there an announcement? Perhaps, you could consider recording the date change (with previous picks?)

Q: 1. About your ”best stock ideas” feature: how often are the ideas refreshed? Is there a specific day in the month that the renewal happens?
2 In view of recent developments, is Constellation Software still a best idea?
Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Any reason why CLS dropped $22CAN and is also down now $12US pre market?

Thanks

Q: Hi, at what point would you start nibbling away at DSG? It seems to me to be victim of the AI-software concerns (similar to CSU entities). Your prior recent comments were quite favourable after their Q release so I am somewhat surprised/shocked the market has taken this down further. It is nearing a 52 week low.
Given the downward momentum, it may have another 5% to go but it looks to be a compelling buy around $135.
I have owned for years (trimmed along the way) and done well in the past by buying the dips. Is this yet another rare buying opportunity?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: The TSX has reached an all time high this month. Based on current prices, which 5 Canadian Stocks are your top choices for new money and your reasons for choosing those stocks.

Q: Why has Intact fallen sharply in the last few months?

Q: All 3 stocks have recently been down and are continuing to drop today (Tuesday). Your blog on the CSU/Leonard call about AI recapped what was said and indicated premiums assigned to these stocks may be lowered. Looks like it's now underway. I was hoping for more thought on what might happen in the future? As many of your customers own these stocks, it would be nice if 5i could issue quick reports on them. Are they still rated high or have they gone down a notch, or two or three? Are they rated buy, hold or sell? Where does 5i see these stocks' prices in 3, 6 and 12 months from now? I realize there are many unknowns and predicting the future is tough, but 5i has done this generally quite well in the past. These 3 stocks appear to widely held and deserve more attention at this time.

Q: I'm getting mixed messages from 5i regarding EQB . In several answers you have it as recommended buy ...... But in a reply to Adam on Aug. 28/25 you make the following statement . ...... " But with some overall economic concerns continuing it is also hard to foresee a big recovery in the next several quarters as well. "

This suggests it will be dead money for a while .... Looking at your report on the company it appears that circumstances have changed . In your " Valuation " section you make the following statement .....

" Management noted that with the recent and expected easing of interest rates, EQB is seeing signs of renewed mortgage activity and strong loan growth momentum is expected going into 2025. " ...... Well that didn't happen ...... Are you planning to update that report in the near future ? ....

I own shares { in a RRIF } and am in a bit of a quandary on why I shouldn't sell in favour of greener pastures ..... So please explain to me how I should evaluate holding or selling ? .........Thanks for your terrific service .....
