Q: In a registered account I would like to do some money recycling and choose 2 to depart from and recycle back into the others. HPS.A with 4% weighting and GSY at 6%. WELL is (well below) purchase price and although I still believe in the company the others might do better with a 5 years horizon but maybe not, your take. Could you identify the 2 you would let go and where would you recycle money into with a 1-5 preference, 1 beeing where you would add the most and 5 you would put the least. Having said all of that the total portfolio is much bigger and the position size of all of the above except for HPS and GSY are in the 1-2% range.

Thank you

Q: I struggle with ATS and KXS whether to sell or continue to see drifting lower. I know you suggest selling if something fundamental has changed for the worse. People commonly thinking ATS is a growth name, but their backlog is shrinking, still a growth name? Fundamental changed? KXS's growth is declining as well....when it will resume their growth? If sell them, what to buy to replace? Can I have your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: WELL has required a lot of patience. I know you still like it, but is there another smallish cap you would select over it? I own TSU, LMN, SIS, and SYZ.

Q: Hello 5i,

On Feb 28th 5i provided answers to Jacques and David on the top 10 US and CAD stocks to own in a TFSA. Thank you for that answer.

Can you please provide the top 12 stocks overall (CAD or US) in order of priority that should be in a TFSA? We have both US and CDN funds + CDR's. Diversity is not important at this time and we are anticipating that US stocks will outnumber CAD stocks in the top 12. Funds are not required for 6 years or more.

If this was your TFSA, would you have equal weighting or will one or more of the stocks have a higher weighting compared to other stocks? If yes, can you identify the stock(s) and the % of weighting? We can equal weight the remaining stocks.

Thank you

Q: Hi

I am still sitting on the fence regarding sell half of my WELL in my TFSA.

What would be your pick as a replacement :

DCBO
DRX

I am looking at DRX over the other DCBO. Your comments are most welcome and I understand how you must respond in your answer and any other suggestions are most welcome.

Thank you

Q: Hi Team,
I was debating if it was time to trim some NVDA after the big gains the stock has had over the past while. Do you have any quality growth names that would you suggest buying with the funds if I do decide to trim at this point? From my end I was thinking of HPS.A...would this be advisable? Or perhaps ISRG. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: 5i has given our family some very good investment ideas. Among the good ones that have benefitted our accounts lately are LMN and HPS.A. Thank you for these. Using your crystal ball what would be your best suggestion for a couple of other similar stocks that might replicate these growth stories over the next year. Thank you.

Q: Overall, I prefer small and mid-cap Canadian stocks for growth and accept the risk that goes with this. Currently, I do not have anything in the tech space and would appreciate if you would suggest a few names.

Thank you,
John

Q: I miss the days of seeing 5i on BNN as I always felt that there was a lot of great information provided. That being said, if you were to be on the program today (January 5), I’m wondering what your top 3 picks would be and why?

Thank you again for the fantastic service and Happy New Year to everyone at 5i

Q: Hi Team,
Once again the hopeful small cap Jan bounce has done the opposite so far with essentially all growth being sold off. It’s amazing how a new year is here and it’s like a light switch where the narrative turns to everyone selling to lock in profits. This confuses me some as I thought year end Dec would be the time to lock in gains? What’s your take on the selloff and when’s your best estimate of when would be a good time to buy the dip? Is there a history of how long a Jan selloff typically lasts? Also; is there any standout buys in the market you see today now as a result of the recent selloff ? Thanks ,

Shane
