Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: A family member would like to build a US dollar portfolio with US stocks. My thought would be to do it along the lines of the 5iR Cdn Balance Portfolio. For example, JPMorgan would be the US stock for the BNS. With this in mind, and being able to tolerate risk and for a long-term intention, like 10 years, what would you suggest the 15+ position US portfolio would look like?....Thanks...Tom

Q: I'm a holder of BUG, Cyber Security ETF which has remained relatively flat. Meanwhile, I see CRWD is a top recommendation of yours and it has done quite well. This week's Economist has a feature on cyber security and I believe one of the key takeaways from the article is that firms are wasting a lot of money on ineffective cyber security providers. I welcome your thoughts on if selling BUG and replacing it with CRWD in a portfolio makes sense (betting on a sole winner rather than the sector as a whole), and if you would buy at this price? (Noting I was eyeing this stock a few weeks ago at $215)

Q: Hi Awesome 5i team, I have some cash to invest, in Canada, I am thinking of "AT", "GSY" &"CTS", some of these names are at all time high, could you please rank them from risk/growth perspective. Given recent volatility of the market, could you please provide a good entry point if you will.

For US, please also provide three names that are growth oriented, and three reflationary driven. All are for long term investment.

Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Our local pharmacy is in a building owned by Northwest Healthcare Properties, and noticed that the door opening devices have been changed from the kind you needed to touch to push, to the new type where you only need to wave your hand without touching - a great improvement, especially due to Covid. I've also noticed this device at the restroom door at a local Swiss Chalet.

My question is this: are there any companies or ETFs in Canada or the US that are engaged in these infrastructure improvements that seem to be gaining wide acceptance?

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi,

My question is of the companies I've listed, which 2 or 3 would you add to for a 5-10 year horizon. I currently own all of these, with no total value exceeding $500.

I am just starting a small portfolio and have $1000 USD to put into my RRSP to add to these exisiting stocks.

How would you rank them?

Thanks!

Q: Got some shares of OGN in the MRK spin off, too small an amount for me to keep as a holding. Sell and buy more MRK is an option or add to SU, SLF or BCE? Un-registed account, +5 year hold.

Q: Hi,

These stocks listed make up the core position of my Canadian and US holdings.

Would you consider this list to be a good one for a 3-5 year plus time horizon? I am able to tolerate high risk .

Thanks

Q: I hold the above six securities in a taxable account in less than half positions. On a tax neutral basis I could sell OKTA,SNOW,GH and PLUG and split the proceeds between ROKU and CRWD to bring them to larger positions. These investments are part of a relatively agressive taxable portfolio.
Two questions - firstly, if you could rank the 6 stocks in accordance with your preference. Secondly, do you think my proposal would create a meaningful stronger position for growth.
Thanks,
Terry
