Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have approx. $100k USD of capital to deploy to a portfolio with a 3 to 5 year hold outlook with a focus on High Growth. Comfortable with higher risk.

I’d like to have meaningful position sizing so want to limit the # of stocks to 4.

The pool I am considering is COIN, SI, ROKU, NVDA, SHOP, AFRM, SQ, CRWD, and ZM.

My inclination so far is to go:
45% - NVDA – This just seemed like a must own to me. Semiconductor exposure in a supply-short environment along with the multitude of other things they support – AI, Gaming, Genomic sequencing etc. Hard to see how they won’t be over a trillion dollar market cap especially if the ARM acquisition is go (Risk factor).

25% - AFRM – BNPL adoption in North America is far behind that of Europe/APAC and I like AFRMs positioning as a consumer first proposition with transparency and AI with strong partnerships with AMZN, AAPL Canada and SHOP.

20% - COIN – Continued adoption of Crypto. Would use this as a proxy instead of going with ETFs/Fund exposure

15% - CRWD (Valuation risk so smallest position, but cybersecurity industry hasn’t matured yet with lots of runway remaining for a stock with strong MOAT)

I decided against SHOP due to how much growth they've already seen and potential impact on consumer spend from an inflationary environment.

Could you comment your thoughts / advice on the above? Any stocks that you would switch out or position sizing you’d recommend to reconsider?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team.

I was wondering if you could give a US list for the question asked back on September 17, "Would you have a short list of 5 companies that should be on a watchlist for when (if) a 10% downturn comes before Christmas ?"

Thanks.

Q: There is some speculation that the president of CRWD may be involved in the Sussman indictment and could be in legal jeopardy. Do you think such a scenario would hit the stock price significantly?

Q: can you comment on each of the following, cybersecurity companies, in terms of which are likely to show the strongest growth in 1-2 years, with minimal likelihood of a pull back.

Q: I've become obsessed with Crowdstrike and apparently I'm not alone! It checks so many boxes for me but I'm hung up on its valuation. Out of curiosity I compared to plots of historical P/S of GOOG, FB, AMZN, NTFLX and none of them appear to have touched anywhere remotely near the ~60x that CRWD is currently trading at, except AMZN back in 2000 at close to 40x:) Maybe I'm missing something about such a high growth stock. I believe from your answers to other questions that you like it and it comes up on your top high growth US stocks.

My questions:

(1) In your opinion, on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 is highest risk), what is the risk that CRWD has become so overvalued that it may not live up to its valuation and result in a long term capital loss?
(2) Can you provide some comments on how competitive the cloud-native/cloud endpoint security market is and whether you believe CRWD is likely to have a strong moat?
(3) Would you have any reservations about initiating a partial position with the intent to add as the story unfolds, at current levels (long term buy and hold)?

Q: Please comment upon ZS's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Financial Results. Thanks!

Q: What is your take on AI ?would you be a buyer right now?
You see a very bright future for this company?
If you want to buy a stock in a US company what would be your top 3 be,regardless of sector?

Q: Without your usual detailed analysis, what would be the rating (A to F) you would likely give to each of the named companies?
Thanks once again for “holding our hands” as we navigate our investment decisions.

Q: Can you please provide a list of your top 5 growth US stocks that are must have if we were to purchase today?
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,

Following the quarterly results from Docusign Veeva and Crowdstrike, would you consider them worthy of an overweight position?
Appreciate your opinion as always.

Rajiv

Q: Could you list in order your thoughts for high growth and long term hold, high risk tolerance.

thanks Dave

Q: We have a small amount of investable dollars available that was gifted to us when our two children were born. They both already have RESPs and those are maxed out. Our own TFSAs are maxed out, and the RRSPs are nearly as well - but this is intended to be for them when they get older, not us. Any advice you can give other than model something after the growth portfolio and wait? Time is on our side. 10+ year outlook before we might try and access it.

Q: I want to add to my growth portfolio.
2 full positions.
What would you recommend today ?
I have light speed and go easy already.
If you could recommend 4 or 5 ideas - that would be great
Thanks
Paul

Q: Could you give me your thoughts on this company? Would you recommend a small position to start?

Q: Good afternoon,
I have about a 5% of both LNR and MG in my TFSA and have owned them since 2017.
Although I have seen reasonable returns LNR has lagged behind MG. I'm looking to sell LNR and get into something that has more growth can you please suggest two or three Canadian companies and a possible entry point.

Also I have owned AQN sing March 2020 and it has not done anything and thinking of switching over to POW BAM.A or any other suggestions and a possible entry point.

Thanks.

Joe
