Q: Hi,

Sorry my last question meant to ask about individual stock compounders, not ETF's. Can you list 5 Cdn and US names that you would DCA into over time? For example, I'm assuming BN would be on that list. What other names? Looking for names that can CAGR +10-20% over time. Thanks!

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

With regard to the A.I. theme: If you had to pick 9 American stocks to watch that have been already running since 2023 because of A.I., which stocks would they be?

Nividia & Microsoft seem obvious. Maybe VST, AVGO… Gemini provided a list, but I’d like to know what you think please.

I find that the MAGS etf is a simple way to track the big tech stocks, but I’m not sure if the SMH etf would be too specific to track the A.I. stocks/theme?

Thank you for your help!

Sandra

Q: I’m considering selling Meta to purchase either AVGO or TSM in the tech sector of my portfolio. This is within my RRIF account.
Thoughts for a three year hold??

Q: Is it time to give META a break? I was looking for some growth and RDDT has been a great one. What do you think about taking my META allocation of 2% and adding it to RDDT to bring it to a larger position? I can revisit META another time. Or would you suggest keeping both…or taking the profit on RDDT and adding to META? Wayfair looks interesting as well.

Q: Could you please rank the following stocks from most to least desirable for a new position:

NBIS, NVDA, LMN, META, CSU, MSFT, APP, TOI, ASML, NOW, OUST, ORCL

Q: I am considering adding AVGO with its most recent price decline on what appeared to be a good Q. Would you concur that the sell off has been over done given there was little to complain about in the quarterly release. MSFT is my other add consideration, as it has corrected some, likely in sympathy with the AI fears. Of the 2 which would you consider more attractive for a 5 year hold? In the account I also hold NVDA, GOOGL, META, AMZN, and MU for tech names. Thank you.

Q: I have taken advantage of tax loss selling and have sold all my Canadian telecommunication stocks. At this time I don't feel any pressure to buy them back after 30 days. However, I would like to have exposure to the telecommunications sector for diversity and for the dividend. Could you recommend some non-Canadian alternatives for a long term hold? Many thanks!!! All the best for the holidays!!!

Q: Good morning,

SE's downward trend continues and I'm contemplating a sell. I noticed that 5i has not had any questions on it since late October and I'm wondering about your current thoughts. If I choose to replace it, can you give me any three high conviction stock ideas that you feel may have strong momentum or bounce potential from current prices (any sector). Thank you. Brad

Q: Hi,
Seeing the drop in NVDA makes me wonder if the talk that Meta is considering buying chips from GOOGL would really reduce NVDA's value this much? If you could weigh in with any comments and thoughts you have regarding this mornings drop I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!

Q: Good morning 5i
I am looking for a tax loss selling candidate. Each of the three mentioned above, I would like to buy back after thirty days. Which one do you think is the least likely to run away on me?
Thanks for the great service and I put an upvote for the question regarding how the young man might be able to buy a Harley Davidson, mostly to emphasis that the first and best thing to to would be to get a membership in 5i

Q: Hi Folks,
Time for me to trim some GOOG. I have narrowed the field down to one of META, CRWD, TSLA and SHOP as my next buy. May I have your opinion as to which of the four you would recommend today and why?
Thanks

Q: Hello folks,
I am interested in knowing your 1 year price target for GOOG, MSFT, AMZN and META.
I currently own all 4 stocks, and looking to add.
In your opinion which two would have have the higer probabilities of better returns over a 3-5 year time frame?
Secondly, is there any difference stock price appreciation buying them on the US market vs NEO? Any tax difference on what exchange you buy these stocks.
I understand I will be be using up more credits as there is more than one question asked here.
Thank you
