Q: Hello 5i

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?

They do not need to be sector or risk specific.

Thanks so much - very appreciated!

Q: Hi 5i,
In an otherwise balanced portfolio, I'm looking for some ideas for my TFSA.
Current holdings are KXS, LULU, HPS AND ATS.

I'm open to adding to the above names but was wondering if you
could you please recommend 10 Canadian and 10 US stocks that you feel would work well in a TFSA at this time in the market.

Thanks!!

Q: Hello, I have some money to deploy and have picked the above lucky 13 stocks. Are you able to put them in order in which you would purchase them (1 to 13). I know there is a wide range of companies, industries and cap size. This would be in a cash account and looking for capital gains over the next 3 years. I'm okay with lots of risk in this account.

Q: Industrials 12% target allocation - what allocation do you advise? I have Full positions in WSP VRT and Partial Positions in ATS TFII HEI and AXON. Based on your advice, I would also like to have positions in URI HON TRI TIH HPS.A. Need to sort out what to own as Full and partial positions. Please rank for full and partial positions with entry prices for those not owned and what to drop from this list. I have a bias for serial acquierers along the lines of CSU.

Q: My TFSA has been pathetic due to a severely depressed share price of Lightspeed, down 60 %, and the remaining 4 stocks remaining flat over 5 years.

I'm considering selling them all and starting over. I have at least a 5 year time frame.

Which 4 or 5 Canadian or US stocks would you recommend to boost my returns?

Secondly, would you double up on Lightspeed, keep it, on or let it go?

It is 25 % of my TFSA.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Now that the "B" word has been mentioned in reference to MPW I guess my buy and hold approach does not work this time. Could you suggest two or three possible stocks that could help toward a 60% recovery of funds in my RIF account .
Thanks

Q: For industrials, currently hold TFII, ATS, TRI. In that order of weighting. Also have WSP, NVEE, AXON on my watchlist.

I'm happy just sticking with 3, but 5-6 is great if they may improve my performance or diversification (if the new companies are similar quality).

If it was you, would you add more to the 3 holdings, or add one of the others? How would you rank the 6 names as far as quality and resiliance of the companies go?

Q: I have some TFSA funds to allocate to stocks that have potential for significant gain over the next 3 years. Based largely on 5i content/views, thinking of INMD, LMN and DCM. Thoughts? Alternative options you may prefer?

Q: Hi Team
According to portfolio analytics I need to increase my industrial weighting by 7%. At present I have AMAT, CNR and LRCX. CNR is the largest weighting here.
At present my portfolio is 7% Industrials and I should be at 14%.
I also own ZSP and XIU but I am not sure if analytics accounts for the specific sector weights there when it figures out your weighting or if it only counts as a broad spectrum diversification.
Which stocks would you recommend adding. This is a non registered account.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello 5i,

We currently have 1% positions in AXON, CROX, LNTH, TGLS, and INMD. All are up 5%-60% currently. We are considering adding 1% positions in WIRE, BOOT, AMCR & 2% in IJH.
We are in the 63-65 age range and do not required the funds for 5-10 years. Do you have any concerns or comments on this strategy?
Thank you for your help.
