Q: Greetings 5i team,
I have some cash in two of my accounts and am looking to add to two or more of these companies. In what order would you suggest I might add to these companies? Are there any that you would not add to at this time? For example, CAE and GC have been badly mauled, have not yet recovered, but perhaps I should treat them as a hold?
I realize that these companies vary according to sector, size growth, income and recovery potential making this a challenging question.
Thank you for your work.

Q: Hi Folks,
I want to shake up my small cap holdings. I would like to add some of your favorites such as WELL, STC and PHO. I currently have losses in AKU, CHR, EIF and TCL.A......should I continue to hold these or sell to free up some cash for better opportunities. It's a registered account so no tax implications.
Thanks for your help,
Dennis

Q: I am always interested in penny stocks with actual earnings that seem overlooked by the market. Are you aware of any reasons why this stock is so continually overlooked or, conversely, any upcoming activity that might burst the stock out of its sub-$.25 status?

Q: Hi 5i,
Based on your input, I'm looking to stack up on Industrials, Tech, and C. Discretionary. I have a 5-10 year+ timeframe and have a huge focus on outsized YoY revenue growth / returns for my portfolio. I can tolerate a lot of volatility and risk.

1. For Canadian industrials, what would be your top growth picks? Also looking to get one aviation exposure, what would be the best one out of AC, CAE, EIF?

2. For Canadian Tech, I currently have SHOP, KXS, LSPD, REAL. As you can see I'm aiming for outsized YoY Revenue Growth. Can you suggest other names? How does PHO and STC compare with them?

3. I have BYD, DOO, and GOOS. Can you name two MUST HAVES for Consumer Discretionary/Cyclical in the US?

Please subtract credits as you find appropriate. Thanks!

Q: Thank you for your wonderful service and great advice.
Would you be able to give me your thoughts on TC, STC, ENGH, ADCO, VHI?
Could you pick your top 3 from the group that you would add to at current market prices given a 3-5 year term. Does the balance sheet of some of the smaller cap companies scare you?
Thank you kindly

Q: I have all three of these companies in my portfolios which include non-registered accounts, TFSA's, and trust accounts for my granddaughters, more or less equal weighting overall. I am still not sure of which one(s) to trim or add to. Do you have any suggestions based on fundamentals and balance sheet as well as growth potential. I am not considering the particular type of business they fit into here but rather that they are all small cap and volatile but with potential. Or perhaps should I just keep them as is. Thanks!
