Investment Q&A

Q: Hi
Between these two what would be you pick today and why
Thanks

Q: Help me!
My wife and I have a competition running in our TFSA accounts, which we started a few years back with the same cash balance. She is using the classic passive ETF strategy, except we got pissed off with bonds and moved that portion into QQQ/ICLN (TDB900, 902, 911 & QQQ, ICLN)
I am actively (quite low turnover) trading CDN and US stocks and ETF's
She is handing me my ass!

My current holdings in the CDN account are ATS, BAM, BN, GSY, KXS, XIT, PBH, WELL, WSP and US account AAPL, TFII, VEEV

Ignoring sector allocations (which i still need to look into), please advise any Buy, Hold or Sell recommendations for my current holdings with a 5 year horizon

Q: Hi, I've held ATS for a while to see a nice gain and now back to even. . I'm debating on adding, selling or just holding. What would be your recommendation today and why?
What other Canadian stocks in the sector do you see as better if moving on? Thanks

Q: Good day,

Did a huge portfolio makeover a few months ago, almost entirely with your picks (minus a few that didn't click for me) and some of my high own high conviction names. For the most part, they've all done pretty well, with the exception of the last few weeks.

1. Is the last few weeks just overall uncertainty/retraction?
2. bep and bip are down ~15%, is it worthwhile getting out and averaging down BAM or BNS?
3. ATS and CELH are down after large runups after I bought. worth buying/averaging down on one of these?
4. DCBO and NXT back to scratch after huge runs. Do you expect those levels to return? Timeline wise? NXT spun from FLEX, but Flex continues to climb
5. KXS is down 8%, and seems pretty spikey over the last 5 years. Just wait for the next one? Should this start to create more of a steadier trend upward?
6. I bought POWL, and it's basically done nothing, thoughts on the company now? alternatives?
7. I saw a youtuber vid that really loved POET for the coming months years. I was telling a friend about it yesterday because I like (and understand) the technology and what it could do. He literally bought some while we were talking yesterday morning and he's up 30%... Are the company fundamentals/contracts improving? or could it just be hype from youtubers and the like?

Almost all of these had some pretty significant periods of running since I rebalanced in Jan/Feb. I know market timing is not a solid practice, but in a lot of these growth names, at what point is that jump worth moving on from, freeing up some cash for another opportunity down the road? And how do you determine whether it's time or not?

Finally, in the event that your attitudes have changed on any of these, do you have a top 3 CAD, top 3 US new ideas over the last few months that have really turned the tide/become strong buys that I may replace/add?

Thanks for everything!

Q: With the drop in HPS price I was thinking of selling my ATS and buying HPS. What is your advice? Thanks Steve

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
In what order would you introduce these companies to a TFSA? I am looking for growth with an eye on risk.
Is there any among these that you would prefer not to add at this time?

Thank you
SP

Q: NIce bounce today.

Why?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: AMD is a stock that you like but it seems to be underperforming (down 20% in the last month) a lot of the stocks in the same business.

I cannot remember the last time that ATS had a green day. It is down 28% in the last three months. It seems to me no one wants it, but I have been holding it on your advice because the majority of the time your advice is successful. I m keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you.

Q: Why does ATS keep falling? Is this a buy, hold, or sell? What price should I start adding?

Q: Greetings 5i, which one of these 3 companies would be your top choice today for a new position in a TFSA? Growth over 5 years is primary objective. Thanks.

Q: Is it worth continuing to hold ATS? Despite the AI fanfare over the past few years and solid fundamentals, it is massively underperforming the market over the past 12 months.

Q: A number of these companies have done very well recently while others have not. Could you rate these as Buy/Hold/Sell and for those you consider a buy, could you provide what you feel is a good entry point.

Thank you
Tim

Q: Hi Team,
I am debating initiating a position in CTS (Converge). How much confidence do you have in the name? Do you see them being extremely successful in a 10yr time frame? If so; I need to raise funds to buy the name hence trim one or a combination of names. Which of the following would you suggest trimming (or combination of) in order to buy CTS: Well, ATS, TTD,META, CRM. I would only be interested in trimming names in which you think CTS has more potential for SP appreciation. Thanks!

Q: How would you order these three if you were buying today?

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on the secondary offering of $163 mln, for sale of 3.5 mln shares by Mason Capital at an agreed price of $46.55, a bought deal through Scotia.

Does the recent weakness has anything to do with this, in your view ( besides the GS report} ?

Thank You

Q: I have a 2.5% position in ATS that is down 10%. The target position is 4% with a future 5 year hold in my TFSA. If you were in my situation, would you consider this a buying opportunity as the stock is below its 200 MDA or would you dump the stock to eliminate further loss? Please explain your reasoning. Thank you.

Q: Hi, Not a great day for ATS stock, Today, on the top of several weeks of declining share price, following the last quarterly results. Pressure on company's backlog was already noted by analysts' community, for last two quarters. However, except a couple, most Canadian brokerages stuck to their BUY ratings and price targets in the range of $61-$73. So, once again, there seems to be a noticeable divergence, when US based analysts cover Canadian Mid/Small Cap companies ( ATS: JPM - Hold $58 and GS: Sell $47 ). What is that they know and we don't ?

Goldman Sachs pointed to slowdown in Transportation, EV spending running in late stage of the cycle and company's lack of exposure to semiconductor capital expenditure. If, in your view, these headwinds are already reflected in the current share price, what catalysts do you see for share price appreciation, in the near term and going forward ? ( Besides expected growth in Life Sciences area, but whether, that will be enough to offset weakness in other sectors )

We own a 3% position ( with 20% loss, now ) and are contemplating, if a wait till next earnings release is worth it or this capital could be allocated to more efficient and attractive opportunities in the sector.

Thank You

Thank You

Q: Why the price drop today?
Is the is an opportunity to make it a full position?

Q: Goldman Sachs just initiated coverage with a "sell". Thoughts? A little harsh? Or GS sees something in the last quarter that triggered the decision?

Q: Hi,
I have these in about equal weights and have to let one or two of these go. Can you please list them in order of selling first to last if you were in my shoes.
Thanks
