Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm hoping to take profit from ATD and maybe CSU. My weight in CSU is out of hand but I find it hard to sell that juggernaut. I also have TOI and LMN. I'm happy with my weighting of TOI and i plan to add a small weighting in LMN. I'm underweight in the following: SIS, PBH, SHOP, TD, BEP.UN, ENB, T, SLF, AW.UN. How would you rank these names going forward? Would you recommend swapping any of these for better opportunities that 5i covers or are in the balanced portfolio?

Q: Current PEs for CSU and Shop seem stratospheric and have me worried. How do they compare to historical PEs for these companies? Do the forward PEs for these two companies justify present share prices?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please suggest 20 Canadian and/or U.S. stocks for a "buy and hold" portfolio in an RRSP with average-to-above-average risk and a 5+ year timeframe.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: With the recent report showing that retail sales seem to be slowing, how vulnerable do you feel these companies will be to downward share price pressure - and your best guesstimate as to what degree and for how long?
Many thanks.

Thanks,

Q: Hi Everyone!!

I have made some profit with Shop and was thinking of skimming a little off and buying some Galaxy. I know...we are comparing apples to oranges. Do you think that Galaxy has some good growth potential ahead of it to make this move worthwhile?

Cheers and Thanks,

Tamara

Q: Except for CTS, ATZ, SHOP and LAC all of these, once darlings, are below where they were 5 years ago and all of them are down sharply from their all-time highs. Can you provide your thoughts on which, if any, of these stocks will be able to get back to their old highs and a guess on when. Also, please identify your top picks (ones that you are sure will survive and thrive in the next 2 to 3 years) and your bottom picks (ones that are destined to struggle for years). They don’t all need to go into those two groups, as the future of some of them may be fuzzy. A sentence or two on why you placed these stocks in these groups would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hi, SHOP had a really bad day Today and traded really poorly, sinking almost 7%, perhaps influenced by Alphabet's results and major large techs like META, AMZN etc, pulling the Nasdaq sharply lower. Shopify stock also broke the $68 support level today, which it has held, in the recent past. We added a little to our 6% holding, with a long term belief in company's strong fundamentals.

Analysts' commentary/preview has generally been positive with expectation of company announcing strong results and guidance on November 2nd. What are your thoughts ?

Thank You

Q: I just visited your subscription website. 5i rightfully touts the outstanding returns on these BEST PERFORMERS since inception.

I have benefited immensely from those picks BUT bailed at the wrong time and now only hold GSY.

Would you still recommend Csu,byd and syz at current prices or are there new potential multi baggers that you prefer

Thanks for your help…. and looking forward to seeing share prices increase and have the patience and wisdom…and courage to hold on ……
