Q: I currently own ROST but thinking of swaping for one of NKE, CROX, DOOO as they might provide better returns over the next 3-5 years. Or is there another US consumer stock you would suggest for growth?

What would be your preference in what order might you buy? ATZ is already owned.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: This stock has been a tough ride for me. Bought it for income and some growth as my only exposure to the defense sector. The dividend cut and share price decline leaves me thinking its time to sell and move into another defense stock with higher growth opportunity. Would you agree, and if so, any recommendations with similar dividend, or one that at least has a dividend (held in RSP).

Thank you.

Q: I was interested in your response to Gerry’s question dated Oct. 15th re: Morgan Stanley. Can you suggest some smaller U.S. banks that you like right now and perhaps a brief reason why?

Thanks,

Q: I own ILMN, VEEV, GH but not LNTH. Would you recommend a switch to LNTH for more growth? I can use ILMN and VEEV for a tax loss - should these be repurchased or just buy LNTH (or another stock?)for more growth?

Thanks for your service !

Q: Hi 5i Team,

With small and mid-cap stocks at very low valuations what would be your must owns for stocks in the US and Canada for solid growth over the next 1-5 years with the core characteristics that you look for including solid growth in revenues, strong balance sheet and etc.?

Over the course of the next 6 months would you be a buyer of small to mid cap stocks or large cap stocks? I'm a long-term investor with a medium to high growth risk tolerance.

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: AMT has been beaten down badly. I have some funds in US $ that I thought I should put to work. This should be fairly recession resilient but will sharply higher interest rates hurt this company when they have any of their substantial debt coming up for renewal? I am never sure what drags down the value of utilities, telcos, reits, etc when interest rates go up. Is it the fact that TINA is no longer true or is it the big debt loads become too big when they have to be renewed at higher rates? Or is it a combo of the two? AMT has not had a particularly high dividend at least recently so I am not sure the TINA effect applies in this situation. What is your take?

Q: In a potentially inflationary, or even a potentially stagflation environment I like the composition of this small cap ETF since it is slightly overweight on industrials and materials - Would you agree?

It appears quite cheap. Is that mainly because of the cyclical nature of a lot of their holdings?

I'm seeing a 5.67% yield. Would this be sustainable in the mentioned potential economic environment? On one hand these are small caps, which perhaps puts that yield at risk. On the other hand, one would think that the materials and industrial make-up would help hold it up. Thoughts ?
