Investment Q&A

Q: I have these equities in TFSA and have $6,000 to invest. I have small gain in PHO and loss in REAL. Would you keep both of these or have suggestions as to what would be three growth stocks to acquire in the sequence you would acquire them in. Thanks for your assistance

Q: Hi,
Could you comment on my profolio for a 5 year hold? Should I add/remove/replace any of the stocks?
Also, Cathie Wood said she is expecting a drop of the market this year. However I currently have ZERO cash position. Do you think I should trim my profolio to have some cash? If yes how much percent do you recommend?
Thanks!

Q: I am looking into opening/growing a position into a Canadian growth stock, I already have LSPD at around 6% of my portfolio. I have been debating as to whether I should increase my position in LSPD or open up a new position in a company like WELL, is there also any other Canadian growth companies that you guys are favouring during this time?
Thank you,

Q: Hi 5i team,
With the current market volatility, I want to review my tech holdings and dispose of weaker ones. The review criteria are: 1. Profitable 2. Double digit revenue growth forecast 3. Healthy balance sheets. From the listed companies above, which do NOT meet these criteria? Many thanks.

Q: Same question as Maureen from the other day:

On a scale of 1-10, please rate the following stocks for both growth and risk over the next year (1 being low, 10 being high): ATZ, WELL, XBC, WSP, PHO, LSPD, KXS, CSU, BEP.UN. Many thanks.

Q: Hi There,
I currently own GSY, KXS, SHOP, U, AND NVDA and would like to add one more growth name to my portfolio. I am considering CRWD, LSPD or WELL. What would your order of preference of the three, and/or are there any other growth names that you would suggest that may be a better fit?
Thank You

Q: Hi
I am up 122% with WELL (thank you), in my TFSA.
Thinking of selling half and leaving me with free shares and investing the cash into TOPICUS.
Make sense?
Thank you.
Mike

Q: I have small holdings(less than 1%) in WELL and CHR. Would it be best to consolidate both into one stock? If so which one is the better one to have.

Q: Small caps have always been a focus of mine and the 5i team has helped me build out a nice group over the last year to complement my core holdings. Can you let me know if your thesis has changed (negatively) on any of these names? Any standouts that you would add to either due to opportunity or valuation if I had more $ available?

Thx as always for your valued advice

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

When Topicus starts trading next week, and with an eye toward a long term hold within a TFSA, how would you rank Topicus when compared to TRI, WSP and WELL?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

First of all, thanks for your advise to help me understand more for the US & Canadian stock markets. I have a feeling that the US market will end the over 10 years bull market soon and bear market will come in. Due to the issue of GME, BB, NOK, and AMC showing many "NEW" investors involve the US and Canadian market (because of the BB), specially the Reddit social media investor forums is not healthy. I guess the Canadian market may also affected, due to the BB issue. Just in case the bear market will come, what the above stocks need to be sold to play safe. I am thinking to sell KXS, LSPD, and NVEI, those stock prices may not be survival during the big drop in coming. Do you have the same feeling that the bear market will come? Can you please rank the above stocks able to survival during the bear market and please suggest to take off any just in case the worst worst things really happen.

Q: Hope WELL is involved in these Covid treatment methods.

Q: First of all, thanks for the service you provide. I have found it extremely useful since becoming a member. Second, I apologize for the number of stocks covered in the question. If it is too many, please do not respond / post.
Within the last 12 months, I have purchased the above stocks strictly for growth or as momentum plays.
I would like to know which ones you would sell, either because their momentum has likely peaked, or because their share price growth prospects are poor. Please deduct as many credits as required. Thanks

Q: First of all, thank you for your amazing work. Cannot express how helpful my 5i subscription has been. Life-changing in all honesty.

My positions in LSPD (17.3%) and GSY (12.7%) have gotten a little out of hand. I was fortunate to pick them up near their lows in April. I've already trimmed both a couple of times, but I am really struggling to sell more given the positive outlook 5i has of both for the future. I've seen similar questions asked about trimming and selling positions with phenomenal growth and seen your responses suggesting to trim positions to reasonable weightings. I thought I might have an easier time doing so if you suggested some positions to add to or some new ones viewed as favourably as LSPD and GSY.

I have the following companies in a TFSA and have included the weightings only of positions I think might warrant a second look. While I anticipate a comment about weightings needing to be personal what would YOU suggest as the highest weighting for LSPD and GSY? And, again, please suggest some positions to add to or new ones.

Feel free to take question credits as you see fit.

DOO (2.1%), ATZ (2%), AW.UN, BYD

Thank you again

Q: Could you identify your top positions that could suffer from a pullback due to a successful vaccine implementation?

Q: For aTFSA account , could you rate the above three stocks for growth.
Thanks
Thomas

Q: In a question asked by Keith yesterday about position size of small caps, you answered that you would consider 3% to be a reasonable full position within a well-diversified portfolio.

Could you clarify if you meant a full position at the time of purchase or that you would tend to start trimming a small-cap position once it started to exceed that level?

Appreciate your insight.

Paul F.

Q: Can you please provide your top three Canadian or US small cap names for growth, along with a quick blurb on each re: their risks and opportunities? I have no sector preference and very high risk tolerance for this investment. Thanks.

Q: Happy New Year to Everyone at 5i and thanks for all your guidance.
I have just taken profits in XBC (thanks) in my TSFA and would like your purchase a similar small cap growth stock. I already have STC, Well and Pho. Could you please give me 3-4 suggestions.
Thanks
Dave.

Q: I own DCBO and I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the company. I have about a 1/2 position and because it has taken quite a drop lately I’m wondering whether this is an opportunity to add to it or should I hold off until the quarter earnings come out. Has anything changed lately, why the drop? What is your opinion of this company.

Second question—WELL has kind of slowed down in the last three months even though they have purchased one or two companies. Could you give me your opinion whether it would be a good time to add another 1/2 position. What are your thoughts on well?

Thanks for any help you can give me on these 2 stocks. .
John
