Q: Hi 5i team,

Any thoughts on how far this trend of selling tech or renewables will continue? Looks like NASDAQ is now negative ytd with many of your Canadian techs down 20+ percent ytd.

When would you seriously start putting floor bids on the favs like CSU, KXS, LSPD, WELL, REAL, SCR, and XBC? If you could put in dollar amts for each it would also be great.

Thx

Q: The markets have been very nasty to some favorites in the past week or so. Can you recommend one or two companies or funds that you think have really been hit unrealistically hard? Your opinion would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Just wondering if you think the recent pullback was overdone on some of your favourite companies making them much better buys today than they were before. If so, I would appreciate it if you could suggest 3 Canadian and 3 American companies that now have more upside.

Q: Hello,
I have new money to allocate. Which ones of these are your favorites for 5 year + hold notwithstanding they have different risk profile and in different sectors (best overall risk / reward. I am underweight small cap). I already own KXS and ENGH but i could add to existing positions. Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter,

Please recommend a basket of small caps (7-8 names) that are looking attractive today. Long term growth, medium to high risk. Would you initiate new positions in any of the noted names?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Doing a little research for additions to my TFSA. Looking at GSY, WELL and XBC. I find it curious that GSY has a market cap for approx. $1.9 billion and trades at $125 per share, while the other two have market caps of approx. $1.4 billion and trade at sub $10. Is this a lesson in the difference between a Company growing organically vs growing through acquisitions and issuing large amounts of stock. I'm not saying that the other 2 aren't good companies, but I find it curious that they have similar market caps, yet their share price is ten times higher. Thoughts?

Thank you,
Jason

Q: For New money to initiate positions which 5 stocks in each of the portfolios would you recommend investing. On a related note, is there a reason you don’t put buy or hold or buy up to prices in any of the portfolios, or is your stance if it is in there it is a buy regardless of how much a stock may have run up since it was originally recommended.

Q: Let's build a three stock portfolio and have some fun :)
In it there needs to be one small cap, one mid cap and one large cap.
For long term hold 10+ years
No etf's and only CND stocks.

On another topic, Peter if you were in France, on your road bike, climbing l'alpe d'Huez (It being the stock market) Where on that climb do you believe you are at before heading down? In other words, how much more RPM(revolutions per minute) does this market have before the chain comes off it's derailleur?

Thank you,

Biking Enthusiast :))

Q: Now that the financing of the proposed buyout of CRH is confirmed I was expecting that WELL's stock would stabilize. Could it be that the threat of class actions on behalf of current CRH holders may have to do with the continuous fall of WELL ? Is there anything else but just profit taking on WELL after their spectacular run in 2020?
Thank you for your insight.

Q: Hello 5i
I understand the upsize however I don’t understand what the $9.80 subscription receipt represents. Appreciate your help.
“WELL Health upsized its previously announced $295.5M equity offering by C$7M and completed the full upsized C$302.5M equity offering at C$9.80 per subscription receipt, representing a 25% premium to WELL’s 5-day VWAP preceding the announced acquisition of NYSE American and TSX listed CRH Medical Corporation or “CRH”.
Thank you

Q: A while back I bought a small amount of the PSCH small cap health care fund on your suggestion and it is doing very nicely. I see from watching the comments on WELL, that you also like it. If I have a small amount of cash to deploy (less than a full position), should put it into it WELL or would you advise me to continue to build up the ETF position?
