Investment Q&A

Q: Looking at adding one of TMO or ISRG to my TFSA. Can I have your analysis of both and your opinion as to which one would best be suited to a portfolio built towards capital preservation with some growth. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Hello, Sent a question earlier and your reply is as follows;

PA recommends to reduce my technology exposure which is at 38%. Only problem is I am unsure which tickers to get rid of, like them all.

In my RRSP; OTEX at 4% and XAW at 21% not a direct tech exposure but does hold plenty of tech, just not sure how much.

LIRA: SHOP at 6.5%( recently chopped it from 9% to 5%), LSPD 5%, KXS 3%, QST 2.2%,

TSFA: CUSat 5%

Which one would you pull the plug on?

Tks

5i Research Answer:

XAW is currently about 22% technology. We like all the names here, and there is nothing stopping you from selling some of each if you want to lower exposure. XAW at 21% is a large position and could also be moved to 15% or so in our view. It has not performed so well either. If you want to sell just one we would lean to QST as the smallest and riskiest.

I should have also mentioned that PA also suggest to reduce my canadian exposure which is above 60%. That is the reason why my XAW exposure is at 21%. Having said that if I were to sell roughly 6% of XAW, can you suggest another non canadian etf to invest in? Seeing that XAW covers basically everything for my international exposure.

Thanks again!

Q: Hi team,

Could you tell us your thoughts on the latest earnings and conference call ?

Thanks!

Q: Your thoughts on MPW please
Thanks

Q: I would appreciate your view on XPO logistics. Thanks !

Q: Q: Could I please get your thoughts on those company and whether you think it’s a good buy? Thanks Claude

Q: On a risk/ return basis, which two of these would you prefer and why please.

Q: Digital Turbine (APPS) has been on a roll lately, I stumbled onto it really by accident a few years ago and I am wondering what you think about increasing my holdings and settling in for the long haul? Or does one take the money and run?

Q: This stock in 5G seems to be surging. Is it still a good time to get in?
Thank you, as always!

Q: When trying to find the next stock with great returns like, Shopify or Beyond Meat what or where should one look.
I'm guessing something disruptive with greater than 30% revenue growth.
I have been cruising news articles and used stock screeners and haven't found anything recently. I'm guessing that a vegan fast food restaurant chain would take off similar to Chipotle and Noodle Co. did years ago.
Any companies or thoughts?

Q: Please comment on their latest earnings. I sense they are making progress on the debt reduction but revenues appear weak compared to prior year. Is the revenue drop the result of selling off portions of the company to reduce debt or is there some other reason? Backlog seems to be smaller but not horribly so which may be a positive. Not sure why they are keeping their 0.01 USD dividend other than public relations I suppose. I suspect MAXR needs to make itself smaller if it wants to show a profit and it appears management has put the company on that road.
I no longer own any shares but am still mildly interested. Without sustained revenue / profitability growth it would be too risky to jump in.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hey 5i just wondering if this one would be on your over sold or dropping knife list?

Q: What's your opinion on TJX for growth? Would you consider the recent drop an attractive buy point or are there better alternatives for growth in the sector?

Q: Believe it or not one of the key benefits of 5i is your amazing growth ideas in the US market. Although SHOP, LSPD, CSU have given me excellent returns to date your choices in the US market like AYX, TEAM, etc have been outstanding.

So my question today is, have you uncovered any other promising US gems that are growth oriented a la TEAM and AYX ,recently, that might not have been mentioned on this Q&A section as of yet.

If yes, Please share and thank you.

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
Cramer on CNBC's Mad Money mentioned a number of cloud stocks i.e. Splunk, Alteryx, Twilio, etc....that are not your household names for cloud stocks. As far as I can see, none of the above stocks mentioned in Cramer's piece are in SKYY's (cloud stocks etf) holdings. Just wondering if you are aware of an etf that are focused on the lesser known cloud stocks.
Cheers,

Q: I invested in GILD a few months ago and at that time it was a stock you were positive about. I notice this morning it is now thought of as just OK. Has something happened to alter your confidence and should this be a time to divest? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i
I’ve held Gilead (GILD) for about 4 years as part of my U.S. holdings. It provides a nice dividend, but just keeps declining. I’m down about 20% and tired of waiting for a turn around.
Is this a sell or should I continue to hold? I know the U.S. is not your focus, but if I do sell, can you suggest an better alternative or two in the U.S. health sector with a good dividend and some growth? My other current health sector holdings are Stryker (SYK) and GUD.
Thanks!
