Investment Q&A

Q: Finally investing into an RESP.
These are some of my choices I have come up with.
Decent plan?

Q: Hello Team,

I am re-balancing my portfolio and I have a bit of cash to invest. Of the 12 stocks listed, can you please rank in order you would add to an existing stock. Looking for a 3-5 year hold and not worries about risk and or industry. Thanks again.

Q: I have a problem because of you and I bet you hear this a lot <grin>…my Shopify holdings have grown out of hand and now represent 20% of my TFSA.

I think I should trim SHOP and reinvest in another growth company. Can you give me some suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Q: I have looking at initiating a small position in either SHOP or CLS. Which would be the "better" investment, and why? And if growth was the main objective, do you see something else as having better long term potential? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi Team,

What are your thoughts on the company's current valuation and it's future prospects?

Do you believe this could be a long term compounder? Would you be comfortable buying it here?

Thanks,

Q: Hello, I have a technical question. I read recently (Motley Fool) that: At 74.4 times earnings, SHOP is arguably more expensive than NVIDIA.

As I'm fairly new to investing, why would the 74.4 times earnings make a stock expensive? What does that actually mean? And if you could add any other thoughts on Shopify as it stands now, that would also be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi; looking to check in on these high multiple stocks. Do you see them moving well, noting possible recession ahead and falling rates, other global things. Are they the best place to be.

Q: Hello, I have a small position in these four stocks and I'm up about 10 to 15% with all of them. I'd like to sell one to free up some funds. In which order would you recommend selling if you had to? I realize this is only an opinion and not advice. Thank you!

Q: Good day guys :
Which five Canadian growth stocks would be names to just put away and forget for the next decade .
Thank u

Q: With the markets at all time highs, are there certain stocks you think people can scoop up or add to that have good growth opportunities at a reasonable price? I know 5i is not usually worried about buying companies at 52 week highs, but it is still something difficult for me!

Q: Wondering what SHOP:Ca is going to be doing. It seems to be going sideways the last few months. Was thinking about selling. Sure would appreciate your input about it.
Thank You , appreciate your good work.

Q: Hello,

We are retired investors and own all three names in the group, with CSU - 13.5%, LMN - 4% and TOI - 3.5% weights. SHOP is the only other Canadian Tech at 5.5%, in addition to US Large caps tech holdings at 7%. So Technology sector is >30% of our combined portfolios. There is enough income through dividends and pensions.

Despite trimming CSU by more than 50%, over past several years, its weight continues to grow. ( Great !! )

1. Do you consider > 30% Tech holdings reasonable as a sector allocation, TODAY, for an investor ( with moderate to high risk tolerance ). If not, in what order would you trim ?

2. Would you be comfortable with 20% of portfolio allocated to Constellation Software family, more specifically 13-15% to CSU and what would be your high watermark for its weight. ( We particularly like CSU for its steady Eddie profile and prospects of more spin offs)

Thank You

Q: Hi Peter
Do you make anything of Toby's apparent sale of $200M of SHOP stock? Thanks

Q: I am a long term owner of AAPL and have done well by it. I am wondering if a switch into GOOG for its projected growth is a better long term holding in your opinion. How would you compare the two? Perhaps the obvious solution is to sell half of AAPL for a GOOG purchase. My other tech names include MSFT, CSU, SHOP, LMN, NVDA and VRT with tech making up 25% of my overall portfolio. Many thanks.

Q: I have a 4% exposure to the materials sector, and roughly 23% exposure to technology. I have been considering initiating a position in Newmont Corporation, as I feel the precious metals sector will continue to show strength over the next few years, and my portfolio would likely benefit from the standpoint of improved diversification. I currently have a position of 2% in each of Lumine Group and Shopify. I like both of these companies, but my circumstances require me to part with one position in order to start another.

Would you consider a position in NGT to have better prospects than either LMN or SHOP, or would I be better off staying with what I have, and attempting to raise cash over the next several months to initiate a position in NGT?

Q: Hello 5i team!
You often seem bullish on tri. I know it's grown in the past year and I know you're not fans of analyst predictions, but the one year estimate is about $220.50. can you please explain why this would be a good investment today for the next couple years, and/or offer a couple other better growth ideas? Thanks!

Q: Hi I am 40 years old. I currently pay into a pension and am scheduled to retire in 2040. I have mostly been growth focused throughout my entire portfolio and am wondering when I should begin to consider a more balanced style. Ie income vs growth. Just to limit any risks. Thanks for any advice

Q: Hello Team,

Looking at updating/rejigging my TFSA account, are you able to rank the above stocks from 1 - 12, looking at a 3 year hold. These are a mix of some I hold and some I want to purchase. Not worried about size, risk and or industry. Thanks.

Q: I learned of something that I had never heard of before when someone adked 5i's opinion of "the magnificiant Seven Companies" and learned they are American companies. Also was impredded with your answers of why they made the list of 7.

This leads me to ask what 5i's opinion of what would you say the Mannificiant Seven Canadian companies been in the last 7 years with the expectation that they will be still in busines 7 years from now?

Q: I'm looking to raise some cash by selling a combination of stocks. In what order would you sell from this particular list?
