Q: Curious about how 5i adjusts their individual stock allocation in the portfolios. Do you annually take a broad look and make adjustments or do you just clip a stock if it becomes overvalued or to much within the portfolio. With the new money do you add to another stock or put the proceeds in cash.

Q: What are your top 10 Canadian medium caps. Please put your response in the order you would buy them for the largest total gain (dividend and capital gain) over the next two years.
Q: Hi 5i,
In your answer to Clayton's question yesterday about features common to multi-baggers, you provided a list of stocks you think might reach multi-bagger status over the next decade - and TOI and LMN were noticeably absent.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel that not that long ago both of them would have been not just on but at or near the top on your list. If so, has your view of their prospects changed dramatically, or was their omission more an oversight?
Thanks 5i - I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter

Q: Microsoft's C$7.5 billion investment in Canada (over the next two years), part of a larger C$19 billion commitment through 2027 may benefit some Canadian companies like GIB at 52 wk lows and CLS at 52 week highs.
I like beaten up dogs like GIB vs. high flyers.
What is your opinion of GIB these days.
Thank you

Q: Hello,
I have owned stpl for years as a sector based diversification strategy but feel it has had disappointing returns, even for that sector noting that there are some great breakout picks in the staples sector.
Could you please advise if you think it is a reasonable choice for the staples sector versus specific picks?
I realize that you typically recommend dol as well as wmt, cost and pg. just wondering what you think are good long term picks at this time given significant movement in these in the last couple of years.

Q: Similarly to the question asked by David regarding your Income portfolio, for B-E portfolio, what would be your top 10 stocks in the order you would buy. Based on anticipated total return (dividends + stock price increase) for the next five years expectations. I would also appreciate if you could add to these stocks your return expectations and risk ratios on the scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest. Thanks.
