Q: Hi Team,
I have seen discussion on Mda earnings yet, what’s your take? Also Atz just reported and looking for your analysis there as well. Thanks

Shane

Q: They are both down with ATZ reporting on Thursday.
Could it be that similar to DOO, the market is worried that
they hay have tariff trouble and that may impact them in the future?

Thanks

Q: Wanting to add some diversifacation to very high beta portfolio, looking to add exposure to consumer cyclical and defensive, and real estate. I'm used to daily swings up to 3% overall, so high volatilty suggestions are welcome/required. Going on my past behaviour, a slow and steady performer will get tossed looking for more "action".

Q: My TFSA portfolio has done exceptionally well in large part due to the invaluable information and coaching provided by Peter and the rest of the 5i team since 2013. Thank you very much for helping to build our intergenerational legacy.

I plan to use a fraction of the assets in my TFSA to set up a high-growth, moderate high-risk concentrated 10 stock six-digit sub-portfolio with a 10 year time-frame and hoping for a 5-10 fold target. The idea is to select the best high conviction durable names, maximize capital gains compounding, and minimize dividend drag such as US withholding tax in the TFSA. With the help of my chatbot assistant, it looks like a base case of 17-25% annualized is required to reach the 5-10x target, even with periods of significant drawdowns and bull cases. Obviously stock selection and staying invested for the long term are key.

My initial tentative selection of 10 stocks NVDA, ASML, MSFT, AVGO, NBIS, GOOG, TSLA, CCO, NVO, and SHOP with weightings ranging from 6% to 16%

Could you please critique my strategy and the stocks selected. Suggest improvements including alternative names to consider as replacements that you feel might work better.

If you were creating such a portfolio for yourself which 10 names would you select.

Q: I adhere to a portfolio construction strategy where 5% is a full position but I allow for a "rock star" stock like a SHOP, NVDA or GOOG, to go to 7% at which time I will trim a point or two.

When you suggest a small-cap stock, you often warn against buying too big a position initially, given the inherent instability and risk of a smaller company. My question is, at what point do you "loosen the reins" and allow that stock to assume a full position and when do you allow it to go to (in my case, for example) rock start status? I'm thinking of companies like ATZ and HPS.A. Is it based on capitalization, number of business cycles management has gone through, profitability ratios or is it as much art as science?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: At this point what would be a good entry price for ATZ:CA.

Q: First, want to thank you for the service provided over the years. I recently reached a financial milestone (another 0 at the end of the net worth statement at age 33) and 5i played a massive part. Biggest elements were the great stock picks (obviously) which allowed me to outperform the market quite a bit, as well as the reassurance to stay long when the market has a fit.

My question is can you provide a list of top picks for long term growth that are less associated with AI. I'm heavy in AI, want to stay overweight, however would like to slowly diversify a bit over time. Open to a mix of risk levels.

Q: I asked question last Sunday past regarding top 6 sectors (in order of preference complete with top 2 picks in each sector along with reasons behind the picks again everything in order of preference please. No sure what happened but no answer was given...thanks

Q: My kids RESP currently hold CSU, SHOP, SIS, ATZ, XIC, BN, PNG, VTI. CSU was purchased at $3,250 and SHOP at $210. Is it wise to average down now or is there another one or two that will be good to add to this mix?

Thank you!

Q: Do you see many blatantly mispriced equities in the North American market today?Granted there have been strong price pullbacks in several sectors but could some of this just be multiple contraction on overpriced stocks that investors were previously chasing to overpriced levels?

I'd like to ask if you have 2 ideas of Mega or Large Cap US Technology stocks that are blatantly mispriced (too cheap to explain) and also the same for 2 Non Tech US or Canadian stocks Large Caps.

Thx for your help.

Q: Four oil companies make up 30 percent of my portfolio. Purchased during covid and have had big gains in all four. The yield on cardinal based on cost base is 22 percent. This is stupid I know but if not for these four my portfolio is a disaster. It’s basically kept me flat while the tech sector has taken a dive. Should I start to exit some of the oil positions and where do you go if the majority of the 5i favourites are all ready owned ?

Q: GRGD is down 35% from its high and ATZ is down 25%. Do you still like both of these clothing retailers, and which do you think is the better buy at the current price?

Q: Has there been that much of a slowdown in the retail sector to have all 3 down 20%.

Q: Could you please comment on the downturn for both these companies. Do you recommend holding or selling?

Thank you
