Investment Q&A

Q: If you were to put together a 10 stock, growth oriented portfolio of Canadian stocks with a market cap of between $5 billion and $15 billion, what stocks would you select?

Q: My total allocation in my portfolio is currently at 16%. However, it is inverse what the asset allocator recommend with nearly 4% in Cyclical and over 12% in Defensive. Would you recommend shifting some within Consumer? Do what extent does this matter since the boundary between both seems somewhat artificial? FYI - I own ABEV, BKGN, DOL, FDP, SAP all in my RRSP. If you recommend that I shift into Cons Cyclical, what would recommend as of today for my RRSP (US and CAN)?

Q: With ATZ's heavy growth into the US demographics, do you think ATZ will ever has a US listing, similar to LULU's approach?

Q: Hi, trimmed some ATZ today before earnings to manage position size, having a nice 120% gain but looking to rebalance some names and sectors. MDA and ZDC are two names I have smaller positions in but would like to add, currently around 1%. ZDC since breaking out Sept 18th has had a nice run and volume has been increasing. MDA has rebounded as well from the low 30's. AXON is another one I would like to add to, currently around 3%. Which would you prefer to add to currently? AXON and ZDC are trading a high fwd PE valuations so not much room for error in growth, but is the PE justified and can earnings grow faster than the stock price?

With the famous quote of "Water your flowers and cut your weeds", this is something I overanalyze when allocating funds. I have names such as TFII, TRI, DSG, IFC, WELL, ISRG that have been struggling lately, but you often mention that once we see a recovery in the sector, these could rebound quickly. But in the meantime, you have high quality stocks that have been holding up well that I want to add to as well. So often times, I'm trimming some of these losers as they go down, but then they come roaring back and now you only have a small position in these names. Also, I like to hold high quality names and let them compound instead of trimming them all the time. How do you best balance this dilemma? Thank you!

Q: hi
can we get your quick thoughts on the incredible earnings, any significant forward looking statements from the company, buy more now?

Q: If someone wants to invest in a fashion company (clothing retail), which would be the best option today? I'm thinking of Lululemon, Aritzia, Roots, Groupe Dynamite (you’ve made good comments about this company), Canada Goose, etc. Thank you

Q: Hi there,

What’s your thoughts on ATZ is it overvalued, overbought? It’s running up a lot.

Ok thanks as always.

Q: Some of my favourite smaller cap stocks. Would appreciate a ranking on 2 fronts. First, please rank from 1 to 12 for the upside potential for the stock price over the next 5 years. Second, please rank from 1 to 12 the downside risk for the stock price over the same time frame. Understood that all are higher than average risk. ATZ, BRM, CPH, GRID, HPS.A, KSI, MDA, PNG, PRL, TGH, VHI, ZDC

Q: hi group please see attached lists of my \TSFA holdings in what order would you add to them or is there a better stock picks you would recommend instead Maybe 3 suggestions. thanks

ps how much cash are you recommending we hold thru these turbulent times as well as the market being way oversold (gold/metals and Tech seem to me the leaders

Q: Hi, if not already asked....looks like Aritzia posted impressive numbers! Thoughts?
Does it still remain as one of your top picks in Consumer Discretionary?

cheers,
Steve

Q: What do you think of women's clothing maker Groupe Dynamite (GRGD)? The sales and profit growth looks pretty good. Stock isn't cheap, though, at about 25 times earnings. I figure you prefer Aritzia, but would GRGD be a decent addition to a small cap portfolio?

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles

Q: With the big drop in Lulu after earnings, do you have any concerns that Aritzia could face the same type of struggles?

Q: Good morning,

Both my consumer cyclical holdings - Footlocker and Canada Goose - have lost a lot of money. I am wondering what 5i's thoughts are?

Regards,

Ryan

Q: Good morning,

I'm short on discretionary stocks. Looking at above 2 companies although Decker's is plunging this morning they have strong brands, they beat expectations but would not provide guidance. Buying opportunity?

Any other you like better even if not in this sub industry. Loaded with US cash

Appreciative of your services tried Jim Cramer for 4 months on a Christmas deal, Don't know how people can work with him quite the character and he makes my head spin. Loll

Have a nice day
Denis

Q: Do you have any suggestions for consumer discretionary buys, Canada, US or other, and is now an advisable time to jump in?

Q: Hi Team,
What's your take on ATZ quarterly release? I was shocked at the strength in a time where I envisioned weakness in retail with the tariff issues.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: hi 5i,
I have the above 4 in my TFSA. I am considering selling ATZ ( due to tariff concerns vis a vis Aritzia manufacturing in China/Vietnam/etc. ). I own ATZ in another account and will keep it there. I would deploy the proceeds of a potential ATZ sell in the TFSA to the other 3 remaining equities, or perhaps to another equity if you have any other better suggestions currently ( CDN equities only please ). cheers and thanks, Chris

Q: First of all I would like to ask do you like this segment going forward into the world of tariffs.

I currently own ATZ in my registered account and am up marginally.

If you do like the segment forward looking do you like ATZ or TJX better?

If you don't like this segment vs other opportunities what would you put the ATZ money into?

With thanks

Q: Hi,
