Q: A question for the 5i team that will likely be of interest to a lot of us do it yourselfers. With 2026 in the headlights and big gains in the TSX where do you see opportunity going forward. 1-Could you make recommendations on sectors you think will out perform or under perform. 2-Which markets do you see with the best potential. 3-Your three top picks in growth and three top picks in income. I have a lot of built up questions that you are welcome to, hoping for a good in-depth response as per the norm. Crystal ball gazing but better you than I!

Q: I have 26 positions in a combination of your growth and balanced funds and have liquidity to add 3 or 4 new positions or add on's to what I have. Without listing my positions, is it fair to ask you for your 'fav' 5 or 6 undervalued equities that I could add while there is tax loss selling?

Comments if you agree with my analysis and if so, what should buy or add to this account?

Q: I plan to convert most of my stock holdings into ETF's by Dec 15/ 28. The highlighted stocks are in my TFSA with significant loses due to poor timing increasing positions. Would you hang in there or cut bait and move on. For the names you would kiss goodbye, please suggest a more stable proxy. Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team

With the buyout of LB at $40.50, which will occur Q3 2026 and current share price around $39.90, is it better to sell or to wait out the nine months to closing and collect 3 x $0.47 dividend plus sale price equal to $41.91.

Second, if I was to sell today, which would be the best purchase:

EQB
GSY
PRL

or allocate one third of the sales proceeds to each?

Thanks for great services 5i provides.

Q: I currently own a small position in GSY in my TFSA. Tired on the volatility of this stock and considering changing for HPS.A. Sector change is ok.
Which of the two would you consider to have better growth prospects for a 5 year hold? Why?

Thanks,

Jim

Q: I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?

Thanks

Q: Thank you for the recent flash update on several companies that have experienced a large decline in the last few months. Your reports reaffirmed the solid foundation of these companies. Also nice to see a bit of a bounce upward of these companies,
Thanks Stephen
Read Answer Asked by Stephen on November 24, 2025
Q: Firstly, I very much appreciate your tax loss, selling list and the explanations that came with it.

I am down about 22% on both BCE and GSY. Would either or both be appropriate for a tax loss/re-buy strategy?

On PSI, X, and TSU I am down about 6 1/2%. Is it worth considering these for the same strategy, or am I just being silly?


Thank you very much for your help.
