Q: Hi 5i team,

Of the stocks that have recently hit 52 week highs in 2019, which of these stocks are you comfortable buying/holding and you feel have the most conviction of hitting further 52 week highs?
I prefer Canadian stocks but if you feel there are US listed stocks worth mentioning that follow this trend...that would be a nice bonus. :)

I realize this might be considered momentum investing (or trading) but stocks hitting 52 week highs generally continue that ride for a bit.
And for those good companies that are missing earnings (KXS, GC, TOY), they seem to be getting no love at all....even though this is likely a quarterly event...hopefully.

Is there a site where we can get this info, maybe on a weekly/monthly basis? G&M used to have this but it is a paid feature now. :(
I did find https://www.tradingview.com/markets/stocks-canada/highs-and-lows-monthly-high/ but there are only a few filters to be applied. It does however have an earnings calendar that might be useful to some.

Your site has the daily highs but unless we are watching this daily it can be a task. Can a filter be added in the future to at least view monthly or YTD highs?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: I am interested in increasing my US content, but do not wish to purchase directly from the US. I am looking for some Canadian ETFs based on US Equities to add to my otherwise balanced TFSA for a 5yr+ hold. I currently hold ZWH. Wondering if you could give me your top 5 picks for growth. I would be interested in your best suggestion to play FAANG stocks as well in a Canadian ETF..

Q: Hi folks at 5i,
My current holdings are as follows in three different accounts, (tsfa, rrsp, lira)
VTI 14.52%
VEU 8.73%,
VCE 5.85%
SHOP 5.54%,
CSU 5.11%
CYBR.B 4.73%,
OTEX 4.50%
XEG 4.47%
SIS 4.03%
SPOT 3.72%
FLT 3.71%
T 3.66%
GUD 3.46%
KXS 3.24%
DOL 2.97%
BCI 2.51%
PHO 1.78%
Fixed Income:
VSB 4.73%
XCB 4.50%
XHY 4.33%
Cash 3.58

1- I am planning on selling FLT (per your recommendation) from a previous question. Which stock would you purchase from the growth portfolio to put the cash right back at work?
2- Thinking of also selling T and adding some to VCE and the rest to buy another name from the growth portfolio. Would you be comfortable with this? Seeing that the bulk of my portfolio are in large blended ETF's. If so, which name would you buy?
3- Debating if I should keep SPOT. Initial bought it for a 5 year hold. What are your thoughts on selling and adding to VTI or maybe buy a low volatility US ETF? Or any other thoughts?
Please deduct as many credits needed. I have plenty to spare :)

Thank you

Q: Hi 5I team.

Other than XUS (15%) I really do not have much exposure to US Stocks. Would you please recommend a few US stocks or Sector based ETFs to invest about 10% of new cash. I have a few options based on Mad Money and Market Call. Any preferences of the stocks I've listed or other ETF suggestions would be helpful. My horizon is for 5+ years.

Thanks
