Investment Q&A

Q: I don't have any semiconductors in my portfolio which I think would be a good addition to diversify my portfolio. What would you recommend at this point in time? Thanks for your ideas.

Q: What are your thoughts on MU results? Buy, Hold or Sell at this point? Is there another company you would recommend as a better pick?

Thanks

Q: I'm really overweight in IT. Close to 35% but I need to get down to 20% or less. IT holdings are: KXS (3.1%); SHOP (16.9%); CSU (5.2%); TOI (0.4%); DND (0.2%); LSPD (2.0%); SYZ (1.4%); PHO (1.0%); CRWD (2%); NVDA (0.7%); DOCU (1.5%).

Not sure if it makes a difference but all are in TFSA except KXS, CRWD and DOCU (cash/margin account). Due to the fact that I'm working I don't want to trigger any taxable gains if possible. Obviously I need to trim SHOP by at least 1/2.

SYZ seems to be a laggard since it has only appreciated 45% in almost 7 years so I think I should sell that. Do you agree? (assuming a balanced portfolio).

Aren't DND and PHO going to be purchased?

I'm emotionally attached to the high gains otherwise... What's your suggestion on how to bring down my IT holdings in a tax efficient way?

Q: Is there a particular reason you think that other chipmakers are supportive of NVDA’s purchase of ARM? Seems counter intuitive to me

Q: Hi,
If you had to pick, regardless of sector, the next top 5 Canadian and 5 U.S growth stocks with the highest potential return for the next decade, what would they be? I’m lucky to have return 4500% on SHOP and hunting for the next SHOP now. Thanks!

Q: HI

Thinking of selling my LSPD in my RRSP (358 Shares) and buying NVDA.

I also own XIT (1,000) shares in my RRSP.

This way I get more US stocks.

Your comments please.

Thank you

Mike

Q: What are your current thoughts about which United States companies you would recommend in a growth oriented portfolio. Some risk OK. Could you list and rank five of your favourites (apart from the FAANGs) and give an indication of risk.

Q: As a 20 year-old, can you suggest 6 high risk/high reward Canadian or US stocks for part of my investments (I would look to buy on dips)? Would you recommend a portion invested in cryptocurrencies or is this just really gambling with the high volatility? I have a 5-year time line.
Thank you!!

Q: I am looking to add 1/4 positions in my growth portfolio with AT and NVEI. Or I could add to my half positions in U, CRWD or NVDA. I would like your thoughts on which is better at this time for long term growth. I am underweighted in US stocks. Thanks

Q: Hi Awesome 5i team, I have some cash to invest, in Canada, I am thinking of "AT", "GSY" &"CTS", some of these names are at all time high, could you please rank them from risk/growth perspective. Given recent volatility of the market, could you please provide a good entry point if you will.

For US, please also provide three names that are growth oriented, and three reflationary driven. All are for long term investment.

Thanks,

Q: Hi guys, thanks for the excellent service. Generally TFSA is the place for high growth but my highest growth has been in my RRSP. Is there any compelling reason I should sell anything in RRSP and rebuy in TFSA (e.g., NVDA)? I realize I will be taxed on RRSP withdrawals while TFSA withdrawals are tax-free - but - my RRSP has a lot more cash than my TFSA so there isn't room to move all my growthy stuff over. Because of the relative size of RRSP to TFSA, if I were to do equal weighting of all stocks, I'd only have 4 different stocks in my TFSA, which perhaps is fine? Are there any obvious adjustments that you would make to the following:

RRSP:
XQQ 13.68%
VXC 12.03%
NVDA 7.64%
AAPL 6.70%
JPM 4.73%
BNS 4.52%
GOOG 4.32%
ENB 4.13%
MSFT 3.98%
AMZN 3.86%
RTX 3.51%
COST 3.42%
PG 3.11%
DIS 2.82%
CASH 1.32%

TFSA:
GSY 5.28%
CRWD 3.31%
VEEV 2.50%
ROKU 2.44%
SHOP 2.26%
WELL 0.85%
XBC 1.08%

RESP:
LSPD 0.79%
BYD 0.76%

NON-REG:
SLF 0.51%
T 0.42%

thanks,

Q: Good day. Looking to deploy some new cash, the above stocks are my present US holdings. Any in this group set to take off that could be added to or any sells in the mix? Recommendations to add to this group?

Q: What are your best 5 Growth Ideas in Canada and 5 Best in the USA. Share price not a factor. Your Best Ideas. Thanks a Lot. RAK.

Q: Please provide me with your top US picks based on the current market environment.

Thank you

Q: Hi,
I read an article called “The World Relies on One Chip Maker in Taiwan, Leaving Everyone Vulnerable” that appeared on the WSJ.

Apart from TDM, NVDA & INTEL, are there any others names in the industry that you could share or recommend?

Thanks,

Q: I have small holdings (1 1/2% to 2 1/2% of APTV (+24%)&TSLA(+12.6%) in my TFSA and DOCU(+18.6%), IDRV(+7.77%) & NVDA(+47.29%) in my cash ac over 7 month hold. Looking at adding some more USD and wondering if I should be adding to some of these or buying others. This would be a 3-5 year hold.
Take as many credits as you see fit.
PS: Thanks to you I am up 235% on shopify! Thanks for all you do.

Q: What companies do you see having the most influence or ability to bring the Metaverse to reality? I have been reading a fair bit about this, some think it will be the next version of the internet in conjunction with AR & VR. Using your crystal ball do you have any suggested companies for a long term plays.

Q: Hi Guys,
I am trying to reduce the number of stocks inside my portfolio. Your thoughts on a full position (5%) for the above stocks for a 5 year hold, within a balance/growth portfolio? Any revisions would be appreciated.

thanks

Jim

Q: If weightings are currently equal would you add more CRWD or NVDA at this time ?
Opinion of earnings from both ? Thank you.

Q: I bought these semis over the past few years in different accounts at different times in both non-registered and registered accounts. All of them did very well for me. I added them up yesterday and noticed they are over 5% of all my invested assets. As much as I hate to sell winners I probably would have to trim soon. Do you have any suggestions as to the trimming methodology? Reduce each and every one by half (or third) of its current value. Selectively sell some and not others? Sell the ones in registered accounts as there is no immediate tax consequence. keep the ones in taxable accounts? Sell some and keep the promising ones (can you tell or predict?) ? Any other suggestions? I have a high degree of risk tolerance. Thanks.
