Q: Why the volatility with URI over the last year, and the rise lately? Do you expect it to compound over the next five years as it has in the past five years?

Thanks

Q: Good Afternoon,

After reading the recent report updates, I followed 5i and sold my share in ATS. Besides some shares in AC, I have very little exposure to industrials. Just looking for advice on U.S. or Canadian industrial share(s) I should consider. Any ETFs?

Regards,

Ryan

Q: Good morning!

Mag 7 owned, UNH, AMD, URI, POWL, ASML, KKR, CLBT, LLY, ANET.

What are “your” top 3 US additions to this list? Thank you for all the incredible things here.

Q: Hi Everyone,

Can I ask your favourite (3-5 names) US Industrials names right now and a brief statement why? I'm not concerned about the tariffs or recession possibility, but rather wondering what do you see as some great opportunities right now that have serious potential beyond the current situation.

VRT is my only US "Industrial" at present.

Thank you!

Q: Hi guys....great service....just wondering if you have 2-3 names on both sides of the border...undervalued and you think are great opportunities for bounceback over the next 6-12 months...

Q: Which tax loss proxies would you suggest for the following companies?
Are there some that you would rather stay in cash for a month or just sell out right and buy something unrelated?
I am a bit hesitant to sell BN,GOOG and AMZN for a tax loss as I feel they have the most bounce potential on good news. What do you think of that?

Q: Hi, holding a few of these losers now in my non registered accounts - they were nice winners just a short time ago. What are the best proxies for these as a tax loss strategy? If my holding is CAD and the proxy is US, should I convert CAD funds to buy US or avoid these situations? Also, at what $ or price % loss would you consider doing these tax loss trades? Thanks!

Q: Which 5 Canadian growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Which 5 USA growth stocks would you start to accumulate today? Cash account.
Five year hold.
Thanks

Q: Only within the last two months we were at record highs, now we’re in a bear marker for the Nasdaq and S&P nearing one. Futures are selling off again here Sunday night. US administration is digging the heels in on these tariffs.

What are your thoughts on the Trump and Fed put? If they don’t change course soon, the economy is going into a recession and midterms next year will be ugly for the GOP. Looking back at all previous crises, what do you think will happen in the next 6-12 months and what’s the game plan? VIX at these levels and large consecutive down days have resulted in nice future returns 1,3,5 years out. Let’s say you had 100k to invest now, how would you deploy over the upcoming weekly or monthly interval? Which 5 CDN and 5 US stocks would you continue to buy on any weakness, assuming only market related? Thank you!

Q: Are you still long term bullish on either TT or URI? I've been comparing these two companies for an industrial add.

TT is significantly larger, however URI seems to have better historical revenue CAGR, stronger EPS growth, and better margins, with a significantly lower forward earnings multiple and historically significantly more FCF per share.

What's your opinion on URI at these levels? With all the discussion about re-shoring manufacturing and data centre build-outs do you like URI's future prospects?

Or is TT better suited to capitalize on these trends I mentioned above in addition to the increasing need for HVAC in a volatile climate?


Why is the market assigning a significantly higher premium to TT over URI?
Any other industrials I should be considering?

Q: Presuming that the price of steel goes up with tariffs, outside of the steel industry itself, what sectors and specific companies lose out here? Thank-you.

Q: I'm down a bit on HPS.A and would like your opinion on topping it up or selling and buying URI in its place?
Thank you

Q: Good evening 5i Team,

If I were to scale back my positions in chip makers and AI related companies, would you please recommend a sector or sectors and your choice of companies to migrate into.

Thanks,

Q: Looking at these long term compounders in various sectors. Based on current valuation and future growth, how would you rank these and which ones would you buy now or DCA into over time?

I'm already holding full positions in BKNG, BN, CSU, LMN, half positions in V,MA,WSP, and smaller position in TRI. I would either add to my smaller positions or add new positions in the others.

Are there any other 2-3 long term compounders that you would consider good buys currently?

Thank you!

Q: United Rentals has had a significant pullback since early December (approximately 25%). What is the reason for this pullback? Would you consider it a buy at this level or would you wait to see if it turns around after earnings on 22-Jan?

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.

Brendan
