Q: In my TFSA, these are the stocks I would "like" to buy (CDR, NEO), probably in the order I have listed them, unless you have a suggestion: GOOG, NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, AAPL. But I will need to sell some positions to raise the cash to do so. These are my options to sell, probably in the order I have listed them, unless you have suggestions: EGLX, LSPD, TOI, NVEI, ATS. The goal is growth over a very long period (TFSA will go to my children). I am open to eliminating any from the buy list in order to keep any from the sell list. I just don't know how to compare the American names to the Canadian names. Thank you: I realize this may not be an easy question to answer, but it will help me a great deal.

Q: I have SHOP and LSPD in my RRSP at loss and realize it will take time to return to the plus side, so throwing caution into the wind (for the 3rd time!!!), I am thinking of selling both and replacing with ARKK.

The logic being that it could erase the loses quicker than with the other two. What do you think ... is this swap a good or reasonable idea? Should I just do one of the two or hold tight? Thanks as usual for your thoughtful advice.

Q: In a recent response, you ranked from your Growth Portfolio: KXS, NVEI, TCS, CTS, DND, TIXT, STC. Where would LSPD and SHOP fit in this ranking? What are your current expectations for LSPD and SHOP and would you buy them here?

Q: All losers but long term investor. Would you rank them which are buyable to add to, hold or throw in the towel. Looking for 25% plus return in a 3-5 years horizon. Which fit the bill in your opinion. The best will be kept longer.

Thanks Yves

Q: Fidelity recently bought a large position in LSPD. Fundamentally every buy means someone sold. - someone believes and someone does not. What does that mean when a large brokerage house buys a large position. Is the buy for position to sell after an initial gain? A long position, to keep forever like the Quebec pension fund? Is this because it is oversold? This question can be in relation to any company. Clayton

Q: Profitability, why is this so difficult to achieve for LSPD? Is one reason that the CAO and Board are still continuing to be driven or leaning to expansion and therefore changing to control control is difficult to achieve? But that does not make sense because we have heard they want to be profitable in 2024! I am confused. Clayton

Q: I have the above stocks in my TFSA and they are all down and smaller positions. I also have GSY, KXS, SHOP, TOI, ECN, SIS, SU, MEG and ENB in this 300K TFSA (thanks to SHOP and 5i). I am wondering about topping up 2-3 of the above down stocks or something new with this year's contribution. My usual approach has just been to top up the losers but this market has me struggling for ideas. Would you add to any of the losers above or do you have 2-3 new suggestions for me. Thanks.

Q: Happy New Year to the 5i Team. I enjoyed Lightspeed on its ascent in my TFSA, and suffered buying back too early. I believe, supported by some analysts, that it has a future. Should I take my lumps, sell LSPD and invest the proceeds to increase my position in BN to 4%, or continue to hold LSPD. Which stock does 5i feel will generate the best overall return over the next 5 years?

Q: Over the past two years with the downturn of the market, I am down significantly with majority of these holdings in various accounts. I have a long-term 10+ year outlook, so looking to see if you feel any of these can be sold off given the outlook, management of the company? If so, what are your recommendations for a growth investor in either CAD/US stock options?

Thanks!!
