Q: What are your top Canadian picks in:
Healthcare
Consumer goods and services?
Much appreciated. ram

Q: The stock price for VHI has has been in a deep dive for the last several weeks. Also, it's P/E is 123X. Given the direction of it's stock price and it's high P/E would you recommend staying away now? I need a healthcare stock and I would like it to be VHI.

Q: At current prices, how would you rank these companies for buying?

Q: Vhi has fallen apart post secondary financing.Whats the problem?

Q: Is VitalHub exposed materially in a recession?Seems the sector is somewhat protected?

Q: Hello 5i,

I am looking to start a small position in one of the above. Please rank them from your most to least favorite with a brief explanation.

Thanks

Q: Any new thoughts on the prospects for VitalHub?

Q: Please rank the following stocks to purchase today for greatest growth potential. Thanks

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: In the past few weeks you have answered questions and reviewed results on a number of stocks that generate a considerable amount of attention and endorsement by 5i
such as - HOOD,VRT,COIN,PLTR,KSI,APP,IONQ,PRL,GSY,KTOS,SOUN,RKLB,VHI,NBIS and CLS - having digested those recent results and conference calls are there any that have impressed beyond your expectations or, conversely, raised any red flag?

Thanks,

Terry

Q: Any news to explain the move by VHI today? Just profit taking or did something occur that isn't being reported. Would you be adding to an existing position to take advantage?

Q: Thoughts on earnings report?

Q: I have a portfolio of 25 individual stocks (diversified among most sectors) with no ETFs. Within this portfolio I own companies that trade in CAD and the US but have operations and/or varying degrees of revenue in other countries such as CLBT, AXON, TOI, VHI, UBER, BKNG, WSP, TRI, BN and some of the MAG 7 with their worldwide reach such as GOOG. I often wonder if this is adequate international exposure for a healthy portfolio or should I have a specific international ETF?
I have not been a fan of ETFs due to the often wide exposure that can include "the best along with less than the best" (and they are boring, :), haha). But for long term growth and healthy diversification I often consider opening a position in an international ETF such as VIU.
But then I face my conundrum. In the past 5 years the return on VIU has been 41.4% (Yahoo Finance). Perhaps my expectations are out of line, but I would not be happy (and I would be bored, :), ) with the same return from VIU in the next 5 years. Even a conservative Canadian bank with some international operations such as RY has done 90% in the past 5 years (Yahoo Finance). It seems to me that I must give up too much possible growth in order to achieve a healthy level of international diversification through the instrument of an international ETF.
Perhaps this is a conundrum that need not be solved, but do you have any thoughts that may lead to a wiser investment perspective or a needed tempering of my expectations?
As always, thank you for your excellent service.

Q: With the run of NVDA over the last few year I now have a HUGE position in the stock and need to trim it.
Can you suggest 5 Canadian or US companies that could be the next NVDA in the next 5+ years and their growth and risk as well as any other details you may have on the companies.

Thanks
Joe

Q: Do you know how much insider ownership is in VHI?

Q: Seems they paid more than normal for an acquisition, roughly 4 times sales with no ebitda. Please give your opinion.

Q: Terravest, Celestica, Lumine, Vitalhub, Hammond power solutions and several other stocks have already been discovered by the market, with their share prices reflecting that momentum over time. In your opinion, could you name 2-3 stocks US and CAN that are still under the radar and have strong potential to surge once they're discovered by the broader market? Thank you for your excellent service and insightful guidance.

Q: For a 3 year investment which would 5i prefer along with a brief reasoning.
Thank you

Q: Good morning ... I have some cash in my TFSA account that I'd like to get working for me.
Between Kneat, Vitalhub and Zedcor which do you see as the best investment for a minimum 5 year hold in terms of providing a combination of capital safety and upside potential.
Thanks, Rick
