Q: I have full positions on those above. I want to add one more tech company. I am trying to buy only one within the sector and at the same time diversify their business. For 3/5 years I am thinking crowd, pltr or possibly pins. What are your thoughts and a short opinion? Thank you for all the excellent service.

Q: Hey 5i,
Just looking for some clarification. When you reference your favourite growth companies like XBC, WELL, and LSPD in general or against larger cap stocks you usually say they are “higher risk”.

I understand that smaller, younger businesses are higher risk but when you say this- is this more as a “volatility risk”, “default/failure risk”, “downside risk”, “explicitly relative risk against larger caps but you remain very comfortable with the stock outlook”, etc.?

I’m asking since I am in my late twenties and holding these for long term. I actually enjoy volatility since I’m able to swing in and out of the stocks. I just want to make sure that I have this captured correctly.

Q: Hi, This is a list of potential momentum companies that you had suggested to another member. When I go into the 5i profile for each one, they all have negative P/E's except BKNG.
Am I reading this correctly - are they all losing money?

Q: This morning, both Lightspeed and Dye & Durham have taken hits of over 6% however, I cannot find news. I have done very well on both and plan to take profits off the table or would you recommend I exit? Any thoughts?

I sold NVEI last week as it reached my stop and continues downhill. Any news?

Thank you and very best wishes for a great 2021.

I was thinking of transferring cash from sale of NFI to my US account to increase US holdings.
Note C$ is increasing against U$.
Would you agree with this move or stay my current investment strategy. If so would you suggest adding to current U$ position or another suggested stock?

Q: Happy New Year to all at 5i!!
In answer to John on Jan5 you said you would be reluctant to transfer LSPD to a TFSA because it would trigger a capital gain. I’m faced with the same situation and would like to understand your reasoning. My thinking is to transfer to the TFSA, pay some tax and get years of tax free gains in the future. Love to hear your thoughts.

Q: Happy new year to 5i team!

I own the companies listed above within TFSA in equal positions of 8-10% except KXS where I am at 3% position.
I will add 6K to TFSA in 2021
Option 1: Buy more KXS with new money
Option 2: Buy XBC with new money
Option 3: Sell REAL and buy both KXS and XBC

In your opinions which of above option has better growth potential

Q: Of the above stocks which would you feel is the best to add to our TFSA and why? Could you also rank them in order best first, in case I decide to add 2.

Second related question: LSPD, CTS, and DCBO are in a non registered account They could be moved over to the TFSA but am reluctant to do so because l have a capital gain on them, 200%, 60%, and 60%. LSPD would be a partial move due to its greater value.
Thanks for all your guidance and suggestions in the Q and A. The 3 above profits are a result of 5i.

Happy New Year to all.

Q: I am concerned about 30% of my holdings being in IT and would like to reduce perhaps by half and cover some other sectors for balance. (Just read your year-end article about predicting 2021 - perhaps you would not be concerned about 30% going forward)
What order might you trim / sell these to raise cash?
Much thanks for steering us through a year full of uncertainty.

Q: Hi All: I will be Transferring 'in kind' from my open account into TFSA. In your opinions which of this list might have the better growth potential, therefore capital gain protected within the TFSA? Too Bad for the $6K limit. Would you assist me in prioritizing my list?
