Q: I currently hold all these stocks, with the exception of elf. I came up with the thanks in large part to 5i as these are names that have come up in various Q&As. If you had to pick only 10 to hold long term (which for me is 1 year), what would be your ten? The 10 should be those that are the best expected performs regardless of diversification or risk. Just the top 10. Alternately., would you suggest holding them all but with different weightings and if so please comment on a suggested weighting.
My plan was to hold 10 with 10% in each but I’m not married to that idea.
Q: I HAVE LOST ABOUT 50% OF THE VALUE IN SQ. SHOULD I HOLD IT OR SELL IT. IF YOU SUGGEST TO SELL IT , THEN WHICH ONE WOULD BE BETTER NVDA OR SMCI.
THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED GOOD ADVICE.
Q: Which 5 Canadian and 5 US companies would you buy for pure growth over the next 6 months? Can you provide a bullet for each on risk and main reasons for selection?
Q: I am looking to set up an RESP for grandchildren aged 8 and 6 with about $40k that will be added to annually. I am thinking of purchasing 8 stocks in roughly equal amounts - ISRG, CROX, GOOG, NVDA, BN, LMN, SMCI, HPS.A
Is 8 stocks too limiting and should I look at ETFs for some sectors or should this give the plan a good start and greater diversification can occur as the plan grows?
Anything you see here that raises a red flag or are there other stocks I should consider?
Q: If the world is going to need all this power to deal with all this Artificial Intelligence that is going to be happening in the coming years, what stocks in your opinion will benefit from this need for electrification? BTW I tend to like stocks that are on the more liquid side so please push your answer in that direction please and thanks
Q: Hi, can you please give me your top 3 or 4 individual stock picks for an RESP with 12 to 15 years before withdrawals? I would like to avoid the expense of currency exchanges but CDR's are welcome. Current holdings are GOOG-ne, XCG & XIT.
Q: If you did a US version of the 5i Balanced/Income/Growth portfolio setup, to which of the three portfolios would you assign the above stocks ? At approximately what weighting ? Are there any that you wouldn't consider ? Please ignore sector diversification.
Many thanks, as always.
Q: Hi All at 5i!!!
I see that you have mentioned SMCI as a growth company. Is it profitable?? and does it have a moat or are there multiple competitors ???
Thank You,
Tamara
Q: Can you please supply 5 names that have the highest potential for growth in the next year. Div, non div, any sector. Just best growth. US and CDN.
Thank you in advance.

Q: Mr. Hodson, I recall an appearance of your’s on market call several years back, when you deviated from your small to mid cap Canadian equity mandate and recommended Micron technologies because it was simply ‘stupid cheap’ at the time.
Are there any companies out there, CAD or US that would qualify as stupid cheap currently, and hard to ignore as a result. Are any of them compelling enough to buy?
Q: If one were interested in short term trading, which of these two would be a better candidate today? I’ve done well buying and selling both - buying dips and selling pops. I am a little afraid of Nvda due to it being priced for perfection, although of course both have seen nice gains.
Happy Holidays to you and the 5i readers. Thanks as always for the great service;)
Q: Hello 5i...How similar are the above two companies in their business models?.
Is their significant overlap? Would you see then them moving in tandem going forward and would you prefer one over the other or owing both at this time ?
thanks
My TFSA needs some torque - can you recommend three US growth stocks and three Canadian growth stocks that you find compelling to buy today for a 3-5 year hold?
