Investment Q&A

Q: From a risk profile point of view, please classify each of the above companies as:
Low risk, average risk, high risk or speculative. Charge as many questions as you feel appropriate.
Thanks. RAM

Q: Hi Ryan and Peter.
The gov'ts are talking about reopening Economy soon. A lot of stocks (except for the high techs) are still 50% less than the recent highs. Which industries or companies do you think will benefit from the reopening? Can you please provide 2-3 names in the US and Canada? I would like to move some money into my TFSA.

Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: Hi!

I believe 5i has correctly stated in the past that in a recovery the bigger, stronger names will bounce earlier and more powerfully than smaller and perhaps more speculative names. Companies like TTD and TEAM have either bounced or held up better than names like RUBI or YEXT which fits your comments. SHOP vs LSPD in Canada would be another example. My question is not about these names specifically but if you could please list 4-5 names in the USA space that are well capitalized (can survive) and undervalued (haven't bounced like you might have thought yet). I am not looking for value stocks but growth themed stocks that have been unfairly punished or neglected in the recovery.
Thanks so much!

Q: I recently sold Shopify at a huge gain, as it had become more than 30% of my portfolio. Thank you for the recommendation. It was in my non-registered account, so I have a substantial capital gain. I have a lot of room in my TFSA, so I am going to move a majority of the proceeds there to avoid future capital gains. I will buy back into Shopify if the price retreats. Can you recommend any stocks, understanding that there is higher risk, that have a similar potential to Shopify? Can be Canadian or US. I have some Lightspeed already. Also, for future reference, did I make a reasonable move or should I have taken a different approach? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Imagine that you already have a diversified portfolio you are happy with and plan to keep intact with no changes over a 10+ year investment horizon.

Now, you've watched the recent few months of meltdown sitting with $50,000 of cash that you're considering putting to work, representing maybe 6-7% of your total overall portfolio value/net worth.

Give absolutely no consideration to sector/position weightings, geography (CDN or US or gloabl), or risk tolerance. The only consideration is a 10+ year time frame. You're investing in things for the long term. No trading.

Imagine this was YOUR $50,000. You show up to the office on Monday, April 13. What do you buy today, if anything?

Thanks for all your advice. Read the questions daily. Your takes on this current meltdown I have found to be quite insightful and of far more value than most financial news out there. For this alone I consider my subscription to be money well spent.

Keep yourselves and your families safe!

Ryan

Q: What is their balance sheet?
Would you buy them and in what order?

Thank you for great service.

Q: Hi Team! As more more and more people are working from home, cloud based software companies, cyber security companies will benefit as I think this will become a new reality as companies realize they can save money. In Internet communication and hardware companies out there that will see an increase of their services and products are there any names you would recommend? I thank you in advance. Sam

Q: Can i get your thoughts on Rapid7 and Digital Turbine's latest results? Continue to hold or are there better opportunities elsewhere? Thanks as always

Q: Any thoughts on Rapid7's results - seems like a reaction to lower guidance?
Cheers, Chris

Q: Hello 5i,
Could you please rank these cyber security companies for growth and moderate risk.
Also what would your favorite name in the space be if not listed.
Thank you so much for all you do!!
Dave

Q: Hello 5i
I own all of the companies noted. I'm wondering if there is excessive overlap here and if I should sell one or more in an effort to reduce overall holdings?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Concerning the 4 stocks that I own above - are they all cut from the same mold? It seems these and others in the same category are all down between 20 and 30% in the last 3 months according to the information Globe Investor supplies me. Is this the cause of investors panicking or is it something else? I watch BNN all the time and have heard things such as the S&P will be down another 10% within the next 6 months. Thank you. Dennis

Q: Crowdstrike and Rapid7 seem interesting to me but quite expensive. If we experience a broad selloff, what price range for these companies would make them an attractive buy for a long-ish (5 year) term hold?

thanks

Q: i own ayx, would you own rpd as well, do you prefer one over the other.
team you seem to really like this one,all 3 are cloud based saas, how do you rank them or own all 3.
and unrelated real matters keeps hitting 52 week highs, would you buy it today.dave

Q: On a risk/ return basis, which two of these would you prefer and why please.

Q: What would 5i's top 3 picks in each of these categories be? (US and Can).
1) Artificial Intelligence
2) Cloud
3) Internet Security

Q: Hello team,
I am looking to sell my CY shares and replace them with two of the above four stocks. Looking for growth and comfortable with risk, sector not a consideration.
Which two would you pick and why?
Deduct credits as required.
Thank you,

Q: Is now a good entry point for RPD or is there a better cyber security stock you would recommend?

Thanks!

Greg

Q: I am looking for a cybersecurity growth stock of a tfsa, which of these 2 do you like now for a 3-5 year hold.
Thx

Q: Can you please recommend one or two companies in Cyber security business? I think this industry will have a lot of potential to grow. Do you agree?
