Investment Q&A

Q: I recently sold ET and wondered if buying SYZ would be a good replacement for a RRSP or is CSU a better replacement. I currently own KXS ,DSG,CGI.A,LSPD
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm considering selling my slumping AYX and replacing it with either JD for some China exposure, CRWD, or CRM. Just wondering if I can get your thoughts on this and a ranking for a five year hold. I would be selling AYX with a small gain, but I know it's not expected to do much in the short term and maybe prospects are better elsewhere? Thanks.

Q: New IPO your thoughts on this company, too early topurchase?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Mediagrif - its fundamentals, growth opportunities, insider holdings. I know you haven't thought very highly of the company in the past but have there been any changes in leadership or opportunities for the company that might make it more interesting now. Thanks.

Q: HI 5i,
New IPO for Unity Software, your thoughts? Too early to take a postion?
Thank you.

Q: How big is the acquisition of zemimex media and bethesda soft works.

Q: Can you comment on the prospectus? Thanks

Q: would you have any comment on this company. Some one told me that it is part of parts for trucks and expects to have upside to mit in the very near future.

Q: First of all, thank you for all your great advice. It's appreciated.
I'm interested in ideas for some good stocks involved in "data protection," please. Basically cyber security I guess, but more specifically the protection of what the everyday individual does on the internet, social media, etc (ie: your personal data) from being collected and used by Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, etc, etc, etc.
If you have a differing opinion please feel free to express it, but my thought would be that what is done with our personal data and all the compounding issues that tie into this theme are a societal issue that will hopefully get a lot of attention in the coming years.. decades..
Thank you.

Q: I see Fortinet is down since it last reported. Could you give me your outlook for this stock at this point? I own HACK and done very well but would like to hold a stock in the sector as well.

Q: For a 5 yr hold, what are your 3 favourite companies in this ETF ? I'd appreciate your thoughts about these 3 companies. Thanks.

Q: I own a considerable position in this ETF for exposure to Artificial Intelligence . It has done extremely well but seems to be levelling off . Obviously at 3x index , holding it becomes a crap shoot. UBOT may be too risky . Does it make sense to stay in the sector , or what might you recommend ?

Q: Hello gentleman and thanks for your wonderful service as always. I'm wondering if you can point me in the direction of your preferred ETF's for the tech industry and the pharma industry.

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Can I please get your current thoughts on Acuity Ads and its recent run-up. There's a lot of chatter about it being the next Trade Desk and the share price has more than tripled since I sold my small position in March. Do you think the price rally has room to run, or is this not worth chasing at this point?
As we all know, you win some and you lose some. Fortunately, my shares in Digital Apps have skyrocketed of late, but I can't find any news that directly substantiates the dramatic SP increase. Time to take some off the table or "let the winners run"? Thanks for your insights.

Q: If one were to take a position in SNOW, is this as good a place as any to jump in? ... around $230ish or should one wait for the steam to settle?

I read your other response, and have done a bit of due diligence, but quite frankly I'm "lost in the clouds" when it comes to these mega-techs. I know that they take a life all their own, valuations be damned, it seems and such stocks become runaways before the valuation catches up.

Would it be worth a full/half/quarter position in a well diversified portfolio. This is my "looking at the future" stock.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I'm looking for small companies in the Science & Technology field.
Could you give me names in the Health/Bio/Med sector: 3 in US, 3 in Canada
Ditto in Tech/Soft/Serv?
Thanks and keep well

Q: What would be your top three recommended automation stocks in Canada and the U.S.? Fourty year old with a 5-10 year time frame

Q: Hi Peter,

Could I get your thoughts on NCNO as a potential investment? It is a recent IPO offering cloud services in the cloud space.

Thanks for the great service,

Q: Hi,
I'd like to know how you would view debentures on SHOP, how the balance sheet is holding up and where the estimates for revenues going forward are. I am concerned about today's drop and whether or not it is worth holding, or ditching prior to the announcement regarding price for the secondary issue and debentures. Is there anything about SHOP I am missing here? I'm kind of curious as to why it has experienced a 22% decline in the last 3 to 4 weeks, when the tech sector in Canada is down just over 11% in comparison - does this indicate SHOP is falling out of favour compared to its peers? I noticed that in the US, ETSY has had a similar drop, but AMZN, EBAY are less. I had been under the impression that with SHOP's recent work with WMT and many small businesses moving online recently any pullbacks would be less, but maybe SHOP is just that volatile? As always I appreciate any thoughts or comments you have.
