Investment Q&A

Q: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.
My question is about the stock market in general, last time that these prices went down so low in march and april 2020, and then they took off again and i missed the rally because i got cold feet. So this time around i am asking is it a good entry point ex like square, nvei, gsy,dsg i already own lspd and toi for tech stocks can you give me a suggestion if i should still wait or go all in i have $33,000 room in my TFSA. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I wrote inquiring about the above names mid week last week but didn't get an answer - I'm pretty sure i hit submit but possibly not.
I'm down on each - on some significantly - and was looking forward to a post tax loss selling bounce, but none came. In act, all but WELL were down on January 4 before the interest rate news hit on the afternoon of January 5, and all have continued to drop like stones since. I'm concerned that droppage would be happening even if the Fed hadn't scared people about interest rates, and I have the depressing feeling I own a basket of stone losers.
If I sell out of each now and put the funds into some good dividend payers like ENB, SU, POW, BNS I might (hopefully) recoup my losses or at least cut them considerably by this time next year.
For each of the names could you tell me if you think it's a good idea to punt now before further losses accumulate, or are there any that you think have a reasonable prospect of returning to their early to mid 2021 levels by the end of 2022.
I really will appreciate your thoughts and advice - feeling a little beaten up right now ...
Thanks,
Peter

Q: I sold DND , DCBO, LSPD in my TFSA prior to Xmas and replaced same with TFII, TSU, and TOI. I sold DND prior to both new acquisitions and LSPD in the $63. dollar range. After this NVEI was hit by the short report and still in my TFSA. Do I pick 1 of DBD, NVEI or LSPD for my 2022 contribution or do you have a better suggestion?
Thanks David

Q: I am considering adding LSPD or TOI to my TFSA. I know that you are favourable on both and that LSPD is higher growth, higher risk. I would appreciate that being quantified: what is the future % revenue growth and forward sales multiple for each company and at their current price, which do you consider the better risk/reward choice.
Also, when are they each scheduled to report earnings?
Thanks...Glenn

Q: I bought a small position of lspd at $78, watched it rally to $150. Did nothing which in hindsight I should have sold but I'm in it for more. Dropped to days price of $45. It has kinda of a 'blood is in the streets' feel right now. . Doubled the still small position to average $62. I can hold this one for a really long time. Am I crazy or am I sitting pretty?

Q: I am a little overweight techs in a well diversified portfolio. Considering valuation contraction where do you see a new normal forward P.E. the S&P in 2022 and for those stocks highlighted?
Please provide forward P.E. and multiples for those that make profits and guestimate where the low end could be for the others.

Thanks

Q: Of the three companies which one has the most growth potential for the next 3 years.

Q: CURRENT OPION ON LIGHTSPEED - HOLD OR SELL - IS IT A GOOD LONG TERM HOLD OVERALL KAREN

Q: Hi, We have 3 TFSA accounts, where we sold some SHOP, last year and made cash withdrawals. As a result, this year, we have available contribution room between $30-40k, in each account. We like to wait for an opportunity for a Growth stock to transfer from our Non Regd accounts ( there are separate accounts for each) for an in-kind contribution. Present allocation in the TFSA accounts is as follows.
CSU 25-30%
SHOP 35%
LSPD 30%
NVEI 10%

We are not worried about concentration, as TFSA funds are less than 5% of our Total Investment Portfolio, which is fairly diversified. Objective is to optimize Growth stocks in a TFSA setting. There is sufficient quantity in Non regd accounts, for all the five stocks listed in the question.

We were planning to add SHOP, with today's 10% decline and some TOI, as we have none in TFSA's.

What would be your recommendation ?

Thank You

Q: Hello Peter,
There is a lot of chatter about rotation to value stocks. Nuvei and Lightspeed are growth stocks, but after the short report, are they getting into value territory and if so, would you think this is a good time to enter those names with an initial position? Also, from your experience, why would a short report damage the stock for longer period (as in case of Nuvei and Lightspeed) when the market liked those at higher levels but now all of a sudden, institutions don't seem to be backing up the truck. Could this imply that the short report had some merits as i would have thought as a minimum, the leaders in these companies would have stepped up and bought more stock? Lastly, if inflation is a concern, would an etf for banks like zeb a better choice than individual banks? Thanks very much.

Q: Given a five year time period, please rate the growth prospects of the above stocks starting with the best.

Thank you. Appreciate your service.

Q: Year 2 of my 19 year old daughters TFSA. Year 1 suggested she get BAM.A and she is very pleased she followed my suggestion....I am thinking year 2 of more of a growth stock. LSPD has been really beaten up, good buy for very longterm hold or is there a better " foundation" stock from your growth portfolio you would suggest?

Q: What is a good price point to buy UPST, GOOGL, NVDA, LSPD.TO, ATZ..TO and SHOP.TO and NVEI.TO for 2022?

Q: Hi 5i and Happy New Year!

I hold the above noted stocks/ETF in a TFSA.
The only 2 that are above water are Nanoxplore (GRA:CA) and PayPal (PYPL:US).
Question 1). Which would you recommend keeping?
Question 2). Which would you recommend selling?
Question 3). With ESG values in mind, what would be your top 3 CAD stocks and top 3 US stocks for this year's $6000 TFSA contribution?

Thanks for all that you do!

Q: Hi,
I am wondering about whether or not replacing stocks sold for a tax loss strategy is prudent, or not. All of the above listed stocks are at a loss in a taxable account. I am looking to offset a large profit that occurred in July when a number of stops were hit. The loss on GSY and SBUX is not terribly large, and so if it is deemed these stand a good chance of rebounding in the early part of 2022, then I may decided to keep them. In selling any of the stocks listed, are their replacements I could purchase that would likely add some growth? The alternative being just wait out the 30 day period and repurchase the strongest of the list. Your thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks for all the great advice over the years! Dawn

Q: In my TFSA, I’m holding ATZ,CSU,GSY,TOI and LSPD. I’d like to split this year's $6000.00 allotment in January between two of these 5 stocks. At this time considering a 3-5 year hold, what would you suggest and why? Thanks and btw, it’s because of 5i that I’ve been able to achieve an 85 per cent return in my TFSA. The advice and info I glean from the questions, portfolios and reports are invaluable. Keep up the great work on our behalf. Best investment I’ve ever made is joining 5i.

Q: In a TFSA, I have ERF, LSPD, LSPK, NVEI, WELL. IN 2022 can add another $6,000 to TFSA. If you were going to add to existing holdings in what order would you add. If instead, you were going to add a new stock to the TFSA, what would you add?

Q: Hi team,
I was looking for your best bets for my 2022 tfsa contribution. I was leaning towards either Bam, Toi, or Lspd. What are your thoughts? Or do you have a better choice or 2 out there? I have a long term investment horizon 10yrs plus; and have no issue holding so long as the story in the name doesn’t turn negative . Thanks and happy new year !

Q: Looking for guidance on 2022 TFSA contribution. Currently have partial positions in these Tech companies of roughly equal amounts. Could you rank in order of best investment opportunity from current levels?
Do any of these companies overlap in their target market and if so which one should I focus on for better opportunity.

Q: Hi Peter and staff, Happy Holidays.

These are my holdings in TFSA account. Can you please suggest two more names, Canadian or US to add for the 2022 contribution.

Thank you.

Joe
