Investment Q&A

Q: In the "rotation" that is moving through the market what would be your top 5 stocks in each of the US and CDN markets that stand to benefit most (listed in order of conviction if relevant) and a brief note as to why.

Thanks,

Q: I have some cash to deploy. Do you think yesterday's shift into 'other' stocks is a meaningful moment? I am not looking to sell any of the big US firms (GOOG, NVDA, etc.,) that I hold but wonder if it is an opportune time to put some of this money elsewhere. I am specifically looking at the US market and the move yesterday into RH and the like. Any sectors or specific stock suggestion that might fit this theme would be appreciated. I am thinking of US mostly, but not exclusively. Thank-you.

Q: Good morning 5i, I've held CCL.B for a few years and until the positive results in the 1st Q this year giving it a bump it has been a slow grower. I'm considering moving on to something with more momentum. Two questions: What are your thoughts on CCL.B for the next 3-5 years?, and if it were to be sold, what are your top picks in the consumer cyclical sector, Cdn or U.S. for growth and ideally a small dividend? I already have ATD and BYD.
Thank you

Q: Hello Team,

I was wondering if you could rank the attached 12 companies from 1 - 12. I have some money to deploy in my cash account and already own all 12 in my TFSA/RRSP. Will be a 3 year hold.

No worries on size, risk or industry, looking for best returns only.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i, for a 3-5 years hold, today , in which order would you add (full position).
Thank you

Q: what are your best ideas for recent, and for no reason, significant dips on stock prices for great companies? (US or CAN)

Q: My industrial portfolio currently has a light exposure to the industrial sector. I’d like to diversify by adding some industrial stocks in the US and Canada. Additionally, in the consumer sector, I already hold ATD, TOY, PBH, ULTA, and COST. To further enhance my consumer holdings, could you recommend several consumer stocks in the US and one or two in Canada? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Q: If you needed to buy a US consumer discretionary stock what 3 choices would you consider for a long term hold today?
Thank you

Q: Hi team,

I sent the following question last week and have not seen any reply yet. Did you receive it ?

Here is the question.

Which are your favorite cyclical stocks presently, Cdian and U.S., for strong growth in a TFSA ? Could you comment at the same time on CAVA-N, COIN-Q and PDD-Q ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Good day,

Did a huge portfolio makeover a few months ago, almost entirely with your picks (minus a few that didn't click for me) and some of my high own high conviction names. For the most part, they've all done pretty well, with the exception of the last few weeks.

1. Is the last few weeks just overall uncertainty/retraction?
2. bep and bip are down ~15%, is it worthwhile getting out and averaging down BAM or BNS?
3. ATS and CELH are down after large runups after I bought. worth buying/averaging down on one of these?
4. DCBO and NXT back to scratch after huge runs. Do you expect those levels to return? Timeline wise? NXT spun from FLEX, but Flex continues to climb
5. KXS is down 8%, and seems pretty spikey over the last 5 years. Just wait for the next one? Should this start to create more of a steadier trend upward?
6. I bought POWL, and it's basically done nothing, thoughts on the company now? alternatives?
7. I saw a youtuber vid that really loved POET for the coming months years. I was telling a friend about it yesterday because I like (and understand) the technology and what it could do. He literally bought some while we were talking yesterday morning and he's up 30%... Are the company fundamentals/contracts improving? or could it just be hype from youtubers and the like?

Almost all of these had some pretty significant periods of running since I rebalanced in Jan/Feb. I know market timing is not a solid practice, but in a lot of these growth names, at what point is that jump worth moving on from, freeing up some cash for another opportunity down the road? And how do you determine whether it's time or not?

Finally, in the event that your attitudes have changed on any of these, do you have a top 3 CAD, top 3 US new ideas over the last few months that have really turned the tide/become strong buys that I may replace/add?

Thanks for everything!

James

Q: Hello,

What are your favourite US small and mid caps. And what would be your ranking for putting money to work?

Thank you!

Q: Hi team,

About 6 month ago, you provided a list of 10 stocks you considered "high conviction" buys. Thus, I bought VRT, HPD.A, LLMN. I have no regrets so far....for good reasons.
Grateful if you would provide your actual high conviction list, both in Canadian and U.S. stocks, indicating your order of strongest conviction.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS
