Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, this is a group of the top S&P performers for the last five years. Although I don't know what the next few months will bring, the first year after a general US election is normally very bullish. Still I'm nervous buying anything that's gone up so much. Can you pick 4 of these choices you think still have long term growth potential without insane volatility?

Q: Would you suggest an ETF for US-Midcap only (in $USD and/or $CDN).
I already have VB for SmallCap, TDB3093 for MidCap, SPY and QQQ. Too much overlap? Thanks.

Q: Can you explain the pop in Harley Davidson these last couple of days?

Q: Hi 5i, pls comment on CRMs results. Now that both NOW and CRM have released, if you had to pick one base on future outlook, current valuation, which one would you choose? Thx.

Q: Are these good buying opportunities,thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Pls comment on CECO Environmental earnings and this company going forward.
Thanks.

Q: What plans does NVDA have for the piles of cash it will earn in the next year(s), and do you think these are good plans? Thanks.

Q: Someone at 5i has held IAS in the past, and with the sudden drop last week, I was wondering if it was still a holding? Analysts still seem to like the company, do you still like its prospects? I asked this question last week, but have not received a response.

Q: Nvidia, Constellation Software and Broadcom (in that order) have pulled away from the other stocks in our portfolio. We know how you view NVDA and CSU and wonder how you would rate AVGO to overweight in the portfolio as well? We hold AVGO in two registered accounts for the nice dividend.
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,

While looking into the stock, I found that it has very high stock based compensation. This seems quite concerning to me. I know you like the stock, so is it something that is justified because of its growth?

Q: Reading a recent Q and A on MGNI I was reminded of APPS which was once viewed positively. It seems TTD is a winner, MGNI I maybe a rebound candidate and that APPS is just dead? Do you see any potential in this as being a high upside play when rates are lower?

Q: Which stock is cheaper on a valuation basis and would produce better growt over medium term. Would you suggest selling ford to buy magna.
Thanks

Q: Hi,
Would you have any concerns for CRWD's upcoming earnings report? Given that PANW got hit fairly hard after their recent earnings, I am wondering if we might see something similar on CRWD, and whether or not today's drop is a bit of a heads' up something is about the change? Any thoughts you can offer would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Dawn

Q: Prior to earning BKNG has gone up to $3900 a share and on earnings pulled back to around $3500. Is this a good entry point to add to my position or do you have any concerns about the stock for the next 2-3 years? Thanks in advance

Q: Hi All,

I have a really nice gain shorter term gain on LLY thanks to your recommendation of 125% which is down a little from the high.
Is LLY on the over valued side now and starting to correct? Should I sell it and move into another Healthcare name and if so I'd love a few recommendations. I already own a partial position in UNH and ABBV. I see UNH has dropped and may have some issues with the government should they be stayed away from for now? Thanks for your service.

Q: Shak and IOT have been recommended on US networks. How would you categorize them up against Trade Desk?

I was thinking back of when I joined 5i at the beginning because of being a mutual fund person and seeing the Sprott Growth Funds managed by Peter as being one of the top mutual funds. When I went to the Money Show I was talking to Peter and I was asking questions that now I would have never asked him due to the knowledge I have gained from 5i. I still ask difficult questions but some of the things I asked in those days are now not difficult for me due to the knowledge gained as a result of being a long member of 5i. Thanks so much.

Q: Hi 5i,

How do you feel about Aurinia, hey will be cashflow positive soon. Recently they announced a 150 million buy back with a 25% staff reduction. They are also ending a strategic review. Sales are ramping up looks like a timely buy with share price at a low. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: How good is Nvidia’s moat to its broader sales clientele, and to what degree could competition or demand fatigue place its top and bottom lines, and by virtue its multiples and stock price, at risk of slow down and potential downside?

Q: Good Day,

After your response to my last question, I have deliberating between CELH and CROX (one of your recommendations to expand my portfolio), as well as ELF (come up a lot Lately in the questions).

For your other recommendations of PSTG CRWD DDOG and PLTR, I do like their fundamentals AND their businesses. However, between what I hold already, and the business they're in, I'm worried that in a period when I'm focusing less on the markets, a major player in their space may offer a major, well polished, competitive product. For example, EMC, Hitachi, Oracle, etc could announce something that would slow/change the outlook on PSTG, and I could miss out on locking in some gains.

Also, I've noticed BDT is constantly hitting new highs. I've owned them here and there a few years back, but they've been killing it since then it appears.

So, with all that in mind, and the portfolio from my previous question, and the fact that CELH blew up yesterday (I got busy and didn't get to make my move when you responded earlier this week :( ). Which 2out of CELH, CROX, ELF, and BDT would you suggest? What inning in a baseball game would they be in their lifecycle, their risk, and growth potential, for each of these 4 options.

Thanks!! The last 6 weeks have been huge for me thanks to your help! Might have even shaved a year off my retirement age, so I'm incredibly happy with your service.

Q: Could you please comment on quarterly results and your outlook for the company moving forward?
