Q: The 2021 market hasn't been as fun the 2020 market, though I'm optimistic for a much improved remainder of 2021 - like 2020.

All things considered, if you were to pick up five stocks that have sold off (US/CDN) for a 5 year hold, what would they be?

Q: hello 5i:
Owning "best of breed" or "best in class" is always factored into decisions in purchasing shares. Having held PANW for a number of years, and happy with results, I nevertheless wonder if selling and buying CRWD in its place, would be a strategy you'd see as beneficial. Discussion on the pros/cons would be helpful.
always listening

Q: I have similar weightings of MDB, DOCU, PAYC, CRWD, GH, NET, and TWLO in my US RRSP account. As per the recent report recommendation from 5i, I would like to rotate some of my lesser quality stocks into strong value stocks or ETFs. Can you suggest 2 of 3 of the above that you would recommend I reduce or sell out and what strong value plays would make sense to backfill them with? Am I interpreting the guidance of the report correctly? Thanks!!

Q: I wish to de-risk our portfolio. These are some of our holdings with high PEs [although that is not always the most appropriate criteria for risk assessment]. Would appreciate your advice as to top 10
(a) most at risk currently and
(b) great companies, even if currently expensive, that you have most conviction longer term.

Q: CRWD reports after market tomorrow. I hold it in my U$ account. Down 7%, probably paid too much for it. Buying US market is not my forte. In U$ account I hold CRWD, CAE, TIXT, in C$ account VGG and VFV. I have a balanced portfolio with a bit overweight tech.
I am considering selling CRWD on news and looking elsewhere for better opportunities. Would like your opinion . Could I have two or three of your top picks for non Canadian securities.

Q: Hi 5i team,
My nephew turned 18 last year and has now 11K in his TFSA ready to invest.
What would be your suggestion (s). It can be a mix of CDN and USD stocks/ETFs.
Obviously, it would be several years before needing any of the money so some risk can be taken.
Thanks

Sorry if this as been asked before but I am wondering what your top 3 growth companies would be irrespective of sector on both the U.S. and Canadian side? (So 3 U.S. and 3 Canadian) to take a position in on this pull-back?

Thanks for all you folks do, very appreciated.

Q: I currently have full positions in BAM.A, GSY, WMT, VEEV with half positions in CRWD, KXS, TTD, U, and VZ. Are you comfortable with this portfolio? I am contemplating reducing KXS or removing U with ATZ, LMT, AC or MG. I'd appreciate your thoughts on any necessary adjustments to make at this time.

Q: I took a half position in CRWD when it was higher than it is now and am wondering about taking the other half position now that it has fallen quite a bit. Wondering what your thoughts are on this at these levels or if you think averaging in is more appropriate at this time. It will be purchased in a TFSA with a long term hold expectation.

Q: Just wondering if you think the recent pullback was overdone on some of your favourite companies making them much better buys today than they were before. If so, I would appreciate it if you could suggest 3 Canadian and 3 American companies that now have more upside.

Q: I currently hold STC, CSU, SHOP, KXS and OTEX as tech in a well-diversified portfolio. I am thinking of selling OTEX in order to get more long term growth. I want to maintain my diversification in tech but also don't want to add on significantly more risk. I was thinking of adding one of LSPD, CRWD or U.

You have mentioned in the past LSPD and SHOP could be seen as similar. I could use a US-based investment so does it boil down to CRWD or U? Or, given my parameters, just stay the course or is there another equity you think may fit better?

Appreciate the insight.

Q: Hi 5i,
In reviewing my asset allocations, I am underweight in US and International. I am also light on Healthcare, Industrials, and Technology. Are there any companies (top 5) that jump out at you as growth based names that could help with this in terms of a 'two-birds-one-stone' approach?
I have a 10+ year timeline and a high risk tolerance.
Thanks in advance!

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I added these stocks and PLTR a few months ago due to your good vibes in Q&A.

So far I have sold PLTR at a profit after its volatility on earnings last week

Do u still feel good on the rest even if we hit a “tech bubble” or sector rotation as far as the long term ?

Are any of them under capitalized ?

Multiple credits of applicable

Thanks for all you do

Q: I hold a 3.3% position in CRWD at ACB of 213.89. It has gone from the $240s range low 200 range over the last few days. I can’t find any real fundamental reason for the drop other than profit taking in the tech sector as investors rotate into interest sensitive stocks. In fact most of what I find is bullish. I’m looking to add to my position. Am I missing anything here? Would you consider it a buy here ?
