Investment Q&A

Q: In a recent Market Update (Aug 22) you spoke of the power of compounding and the key characteristics of a high compounding stock such as higher volatility, strong sales growth, lower dividends, premium valuations, etc. As a follow up to this topic could you please provide the 5 best US companies (or more if you wish) which you consider to fit these characteristics for long term compounding. Many thanks. Cal

Q: Is there a US equivalent of CSU that you would recommend as I take profits from growthier AI stocks? Happy to split it between a few stocks, but the big 7 have grown as a large part of my US portfolio.

Q: Hi team,

Looking for strong growth in the health sector.

Do you think OSCR-N, RXST-Q, VHI-T and National Health Care are the best options for the purpose ? And what is the level of risk ?

Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hello 5i team!
You often seem bullish on tri. I know it's grown in the past year and I know you're not fans of analyst predictions, but the one year estimate is about $220.50. can you please explain why this would be a good investment today for the next couple years, and/or offer a couple other better growth ideas? Thanks!

Q: Good day all ! as a purchase for a 5 to 10 year hold in what order would you purchase these for US stocks and what would be a good entry price ? Thank you !

Q: I am overweight both of these names. I am hoping for a recovery pop at which time I will seek to sell down a bit and spread the money out. Can you please give me a few other names that you might suggest for growth at this time? I sold booking holdings at a loss so please exclude that name. I am too afraid to buy back smci due to its wild volatility. I was consider coherent, Motorola, and Monolithic Power but am open to other suggestions. Thank you.

Jason

Q: Could you suggest 10 High growth stocks to buy and keep for next 10 years.

Thanks

Q: Could I have your opinion on PFE earnings please. I see from your notes that Pfizer is not your favorite; could I have your view on its recovery potential please from what appears to be a depressed level.

Q: I hold these 8 US Heathcare stocks. Each are about 1.5% of my holdings. I would like to consolidate the 8 down to about 4 holdings. Which ones would you sell and which ones would you add to? Thanks for your great ongoing advice.

Q: I bought LLY on your advice a few weeks ago and it has been declining ever since. I am now down 14.6%, marking the steepest decline over this same period of any stock I own. All things being equal, my general rule of thumb is to cut the chord when stocks decline by 15% to minimize future losses. In LLY's case, I hold it in a non-registered account and can thus claim a tax loss. I confess to being disappointed by the stock's recent performance as part of my purchasing decision was driven by your very strong endorsement immediately prior to my purchase. (You had rated the company as a 9/10 for safety and 9/10 for growth.) If you were me, would you wait for LLY to eventually turn around (as I'm sure it will at some point) or are there greener pastures out there?

Q: Hi Group i am treating the above stocks as core positions. I am concerned that some of the list are taking big hits so should i take profits while there is still some $ left in the black . FFH is an example where my profits was 40% now less than 10% ? (this is my worst performer so please answer specifically what you suggest buy, sell or hold). . Please advise if I should take some profits or just ride it out. List in order of preference...Buy sell ,or hold Thanks for your thoughts on this dilemma

Q: A rather timely question this morning for 5i clients. If you wanted to add on the big pullback this morning, what would be the 3 names you'd add to? Thx

Q: Thank you for your calming market update!!

I do have cash to deploy, given the volatility in the market and the significant pullback, what would be your top 5 Picks in Canada and the US with growth potential during the next 2 to 3 years?

Thanks
Tim

Q: If I had a little cash today to buy in my RRSP, which has a ten year horizon and generally follows your balanced portfolio, what would you think would be a good name to purchase based on todays activity?

Q: Your answer to Kxs earnings before the call took place was positive. But the stock is down over 6%. What happened that the market didn’t like. I know it’s a bad overall market day but Kxs is leading the way down after decent results.

Q: Hi group in what order would you add Regardless of sector to the above stocks that i presently own + would you wait after the big drop in the markets today or slowly average in

also what your general thoughts (short comment will suffice) on the markets going fwd

Q: Hello,

I have small investments in LLY, ISRG, and UNH within the health sector. With the recent news about increased competition for LLY in the weight control product market, should I take advantage of the price decrease to increase my stake in LLY, or would you recommend another biopharmaceutical company?

Thanks. Esther

Q: Could you rank the above stock to currently for a long term hold. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i: I ask about LLY with the big drop today caused by the Viking Therapeutics announcement. I will appreciate your comments. Sincerely. Barbara
