Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have approx. $100k USD of capital to deploy to a portfolio with a 3 to 5 year hold outlook with a focus on High Growth. Comfortable with higher risk.

I’d like to have meaningful position sizing so want to limit the # of stocks to 4.

The pool I am considering is COIN, SI, ROKU, NVDA, SHOP, AFRM, SQ, CRWD, and ZM.

My inclination so far is to go:
45% - NVDA – This just seemed like a must own to me. Semiconductor exposure in a supply-short environment along with the multitude of other things they support – AI, Gaming, Genomic sequencing etc. Hard to see how they won’t be over a trillion dollar market cap especially if the ARM acquisition is go (Risk factor).

25% - AFRM – BNPL adoption in North America is far behind that of Europe/APAC and I like AFRMs positioning as a consumer first proposition with transparency and AI with strong partnerships with AMZN, AAPL Canada and SHOP.

20% - COIN – Continued adoption of Crypto. Would use this as a proxy instead of going with ETFs/Fund exposure

15% - CRWD (Valuation risk so smallest position, but cybersecurity industry hasn’t matured yet with lots of runway remaining for a stock with strong MOAT)

I decided against SHOP due to how much growth they've already seen and potential impact on consumer spend from an inflationary environment.

Could you comment your thoughts / advice on the above? Any stocks that you would switch out or position sizing you’d recommend to reconsider?

Q: ZIP IPOed recently, and I wonder what your thoughts on it are? I worry that it may not have much of a moat compared to larger job board Indeed, but it seems to be growing very fast, and may be a great idea for the post-pandemic recovery, especially since so many people are changing jobs right now. What are the strengths/weaknesses and risks that you see?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am fractionally underweight Communications (BCE, T) and fractionally overweight Consumer Cyclical (AW.UN, LNF, MGA). I am also significantly overweight Canada, underweight United States.
My thought was to sell AW.UN and use the proceeds to purchase VZ in my RRSP. The yields are very close which is a major consideration. Obviously, no tax considerations.
Would you see any concerns with such a move?
Many thanks as always!!
Cheers,
MIke

Q: I think there may be an opportunity in china and would like to purchase CQQQ as I could use some more international exposure . In my US RRSP I would need to sell either ROKU or MITK. Which stock do you think has more upside between these two?

Q: In our “balanced portfolio” we have decided to go to US stocks for our healthcare allocation. Currently holding MDT, VEEV and GH. Are these reasonable holdings? We like a concentrated portfolio so only have these 3 as our healthcare stocks. Would you suggest any changes or potentially a new 4th position? We are buy and hold growth investors looking at greater than 10 years until we would require these funds.

Q: Hello 5i. Can you please share your thoughts on APRN as an investment opportunity. I am willing to take on high risk. Thanks.

Q: I got into upstart about 5 weeks ago and it has since increased 78%. Is this a hot potato where I should take at least some (taxable) profits? It's pushing 6% of my equity. I guess my real question is given the tear this has been on, would you be more skittish and pull the take profits button here earlier than normal. Thanks.

Q: LEAT Can I get your thoughts on this company please.
