Q: I have taken advantage of tax loss selling and have sold all my Canadian telecommunication stocks. At this time I don't feel any pressure to buy them back after 30 days. However, I would like to have exposure to the telecommunications sector for diversity and for the dividend. Could you recommend some non-Canadian alternatives for a long term hold? Many thanks!!! All the best for the holidays!!!

Q: Good morning,

SE's downward trend continues and I'm contemplating a sell. I noticed that 5i has not had any questions on it since late October and I'm wondering about your current thoughts. If I choose to replace it, can you give me any three high conviction stock ideas that you feel may have strong momentum or bounce potential from current prices (any sector). Thank you. Brad

Q: Hello,
I thought Costco's results were good, yet stock is down. Any comments on the results which would bring the stock price down? Also, would vgg on tsx be a good way to invest in US dividend paying stocks. If not, can you suggest one in Canadian dollars please. Much appreciated. Happy Holidays.

Q: May I have your comments on DVAX? They seem to have strong earnings but is their outlook for 2026 negative? Please also comment on their cash flow, debt, dividend sustainability, share buyback, insider ownership and another aspects you feel are noteworthy. The stock charts red because it has declined 16% YTD. I do not own the stock. The stock seems to be too small to be a value trap but I am a little puzzled why it can’t seem to gain traction.
Thank you,
Jim

Q: Hello, I invested in the ETF BUG about a year ago. I had compared it to HACK and thought that BUG was more a pure play on cybersecurity than HACK, which has AVGO, NOC and GD as top 10 holdings (AVGO at #1 with 12%). After a year, BUG has barely moved whereas HACK has moved over 10%, probably because of the 3 stocks I mentioned. To what extend these 3 stocks belong in a cybersecurity ETF? If so, should I switch to HACK? Do you believe these 3 stocks will still perform very well in the years ahead? I have plenty of NVDA, so it was never my intention to buy AVGO on its own. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i!

I have held VRT for 2.5 years and done well and have a full position in it. It has drifted lower as AI waffles around and other AI related players get more attention.
Do you see VRT as a “must own” for the space or do you have another stock in this space with more momentum and growth potential?

Also, Would you endorse selling a half position of VRT to buy ENS?

Sending all you fine folks at 5i the warmest wishes for the holidays. Thank you for all of your guidance throughout the years. It is appreciated. Enjoy some time off!

Q: These 2 stocks have done really well.

5i reccommended TSAT in a recent portfolio update and is now approx $6 higher than when you recommended it. Moved nicely on the govt contract news etc. My question here is what would you reccommend to enter this stock. A) Buy it at market now, B) Average in 1/3 at a time C) Sell an April 30 put at approx $3.5? or D) just wait out the volatility and buy it at a stink price between 25 and 30?

Secondly on a Tom Lee podcast he waxed eloquent about SATS and told listeners that if they don't own it go and buy it. Doesn't do that often with individual stocks. What is your opinion of SATS, it has really come a long way too this year. Would you consider it a buy?

With many thanks

Sheldon

Q: Greetings 5i, I would like to revisit the investment thesis for Ilumina, sold it for a tax loss but the stock spiked up on earnings and has continued to rise. Please provide an analysis of its future prospects and your opinion as to whether or not this is a buy now. Or, is there a better option in this field? I already have a good sized position in Intuitive Surgical. Thank you.

Q: This equity appeared recently in my RRIF account…..I did not receive any information about a spin off from any of my holdings but maybe I wasn’t paying attention. I presume that’s where it came from. A Danish company I believe, listed on the NYSE. Can you enlighten me please.
Thanks for your service.
