Q: Hello 5i,

The quarter has been quite a ride so far. Get a sniff of a miss or lower guidance and stocks drop faster than a toboggan coming down Mt Everest.

Do you have any recommendations that appear to be Buys if you don’t already have a position? Some examples are: DDOG, VRT, TTD, TMDX, SPSC, CELH, CLBT, ROAD, CECO, APPF, ASPN, POWL, (electrical grid suppliers), and any other intriguing opportunity? The purchases would be for a 3-5 year hold.

If feels like the tipping point for earnings for many companies has been reached. If a looming reporting date is like a 5-alarm fire warning to get ready to bail water and run for the hills, which sounds like… opportunity!

Thank you for all of your help and wisdom.

Q: DOCS; As I understand matters while this issue reported very good progress in its last earnings statement the investment community seems luke warm so I wondered what contributed to their last earnings and whether the improvement was durable, or not, while on TMDX the projections are quite aggressive against the backdrop of a poor quarter, so once again I am curious as to what triggered their poor performance in the last reported quarter and whether the service they offer is unique or copied/ replicated by others. Look forward to your response.

Q: How would you rank the above listed companies today for a long term hold?

Q: Good Mornings,

With much thanks to 5i, my winning stocks far outweigh my losers. However, I'm thinking of doing a little post election portfolio cleanup of two stocks.

Just trying to decide if I should consider cutting my losses on Aspen Aerogels and Transmedics, or if you think the analysts might have it correct and they are worth holding for another quarter or two?

I think I may have missed the boat on Axon, which I have deliberated about buying for two years. It has gone up so rapidly with the Trump win, that it may do some consolidating for a while.

If you have some small-mid cap suggestions that you think are showing good momentum and might be a replacement for ASPN and TMDX, please give me a few ideas. This could include Axon or any other sector stock, US or Canadian.

Thanks very much,

Brad

Q: Since the results of the US election were clear, I wanted to move a few dollars around preparing for the next 4 years. Can you rank in order the 12 stocks listed from best too worst. Only looking for capital appreciation over the next 3-4 years. Thanks.

Q: Good day,

Based on my last question, Your order was

____________________
We would rank, today: GOOG, ISRG, SHOP, AEM, CROX, ATD, WPM, LUG, ATS, NTR, TMDX, CELH, BCE, GAU
____________________

These were my proposed and current holdings. My investment account is not unlimited, and many of my "concerning holdings" are in the bottom half of the list, and although they are currently 5i holds, would 5i get out of them to initiate positions in more lucrative opportunities?

IE, would 5i move CELH, TMDX, ATS, and CROX to the "sell" column if it meant being able to initiate positions in GOOG, ISRG, SHOP, and AEM?


Thanks for everything!

Q: Good Day,


Rough day in the markets Thursday. After mine and other questions, getting a sort of analysis paralysis trying to make the 'right' move. Some (potentially) attractive dips, and Looking to set up the accounts for the next couple months.

Current concerning holdings. Hold, Sell, or add?

ASPN
ATS
CELH
CRNT
CROX
SMCI
TMDX

For the adds and holds, please rank with the following names in terms of highest conviction and total returns in the coming year. Knowing you can't get personal, what would be the highest portfolio percentage you would think would be appropriate for each given the nature/stage of the lifecycle each is in?

GOOG NTR ATD LUG GAU AEM WPM BCE SHOP ISRG

Thanks for everything!

Q: My wife feels like she has too big a position in WELL for a relatively small company.

She is thinking of selling of some and buying ISRG or else TMDX during what seems an attractive current dip.

She is fine with risk, so is considering ISRG for its growth more than its stability.

Please give your thoughts on the relative outlook for each of these companies in the mid- to long-term.
