Q: Hello 5i,

NVDA is our largest position. GOOGL is 2nd and AAPL is 5th . With potential headwinds for GOOGL (except for Waymo) and AAPL (lower sales and China bs), would it be prudent to trim a full position of GOOGL and/or AAPL to a ¾ or ½ position and reallocate funds to other stocks?

We have a few options for those funds. Sector allocation is not important.

Increase positions in 1 or 2 of: CROX, ASPN, TMDX, CLBT, UBER, AMD, AVGO
Add new positions in 1 or 2 of: CECO, CRM, SMCI, VRT, SNOW, AAON, BKNG


Thank you

Q: Hi Team,
What entry price would be good to initiate a position in TMDX?
Knowing you don't give personal advice how high of a weight would YOU be comfortable holding it?
My other healthcare holdings are LLY and ISRG. How would you rate all three in terms of projected growth and risk level?
Thank you

Q: According to your people at 5i Research, the fact that a stock is considered to be expensive is not a reason for an investor not to buy it. You have argued that the stock can continue to remain expensive throughout its climb to higher and higher prices. A stock that exemplifies your position is Constellation Software (CSU). On the other hand, Shopify (SHOP) was also considered expensive in its heyday and then declined dramatically in early 2022. What aspect (or aspects) in SHOP’s case made it more vulnerable to a sharp decline compared to CSU?

I ask this because I’m considering buying shares in TransMedics Group (TMDX) which you have described as a high quality business but “expensive on valuation” (August 28, 2024). In your opinion, will TMDX have the same consistent growth curve as CSU or is it more like SHOP and should therefore be considered as having a higher probability of falling off a cliff at some point in near future?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Would you still endorse a purchase of TMDX, CLBT, ASPN and CPH? When looking at the recent momentum of FLUT and DUOL would you still be buyers of these companies? What would be your order of preference if you were buying today?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Hello Team,

Are you able to rank the 12 companies listed from 1 to 12 in terms of capital appreciation over the next 2-3 years. I currently hold all of the mentioned stocks but do have some cash to deploy. Thanks.

Q: Just renewed earlier this year and realized it's been 10 years. Thanks for all your sage advice over the years and the many multibaggers (I was hooked after Amaya) that came with it.

What initially drew me to 5i was Peter's enthusiasm for small caps. Using his methods can you recommend your current favourite US small caps at the moment (I have lots of Canadian ones thanks to the growth & balanced portfolios).

Thanks, see you in 2034!

Q: Can elaborate on your bullish thesis here?

Yes, revenue is growing extremely fast, you love the stock momentum, and they have a pretty clean balance sheet.

But, the valuation is also extremely high and they aren't earning much on the bottom line.

I typically view this type of situation as poor risk/reward. Any "miss" could elicit a sharp sell off.

How are you thinking about this company that gives you confidence in it and allows you to view the risk/reward as favorable?

Q: Hi 5i!

I’m a little overweight in the AI sector and want to diversify. Respecting that growth and stability are not often in tandem, would you endorse a selling VRT and buying TMDX, ASPN or CLBT?
Do you see either of these three companies as having a better growth (and some stability) outlook over the next 2-3 years than VRT?

If you could only pick one which company do you have the most conviction in today?

Thanks so much for all you do!
