Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
I see that Nvei has done a pre-release of earnings, which you have already commented on as being very good

Is there some indication when they plan the actual earnings release?

Given the recent share price run up what would your expectations be for share price after the actual earnings? A further run up or not?
Thx
Jim

Q: Hi,
What price would you recommend to buy and sell LSPD, NEVI and TOI?

Thank you.

Q: Can you please comment on NVEI preliminary results. Thanks

Q: In my TSFA have equal weightings of PHO, REAL, WELL and XBC. Have additional funds to invest and was thinking of following AT, CTS, KRR, MCR, NVEI, or QST. You have suggested ATZ, GSY, or KXS which own most elsewhere to was looking to something new. How would you rank these stocks and would you have any better suggestions?

Q: Hi 5i team,
With the current market volatility, I want to review my tech holdings and dispose of weaker ones. The review criteria are: 1. Profitable 2. Double digit revenue growth forecast 3. Healthy balance sheets. From the listed companies above, which do NOT meet these criteria? Many thanks.

Q: There are a lot of small to medium sized Canadian technology companies, some of them fairly new to the stock market, that have seen very good stock price appreciation in the last year or two. Many/most of these companies are not profitable, and obviously this is a fairly speculative segment of the market. Today, I heard Darren Sissons talking about JDS Uniphase which went from $2 to $1,000 and back to $2 in the tech bubble 21 years ago. I'm wondering about how many of these small to medium sized Canadian tech companies might suffer a similar fate, and how many will succeed. Of the following list of stocks, what would be your estimate for the % of them that will succeed 5 - 10 years down the road at becoming long term successful businesses, with strong profits and a substantially higher stock price than now, and what % will fall by the wayside, failing to become good profitable businesses, and seeing their stock price drop off substantially. There are no doubt others that could be included in this list, but these are the ones I have picked out. Not asking which ones will succeed, just trying to get an idea of general potential for success/failure for this type of company/stock. ADCO, AT, CTS, DCBO, DND, KSI, LSPD, MVP, NVEI, PHO, QUIS, STC, WISH.

Q: Hi 5i,

First of all, thanks for your advise to help me understand more for the US & Canadian stock markets. I have a feeling that the US market will end the over 10 years bull market soon and bear market will come in. Due to the issue of GME, BB, NOK, and AMC showing many "NEW" investors involve the US and Canadian market (because of the BB), specially the Reddit social media investor forums is not healthy. I guess the Canadian market may also affected, due to the BB issue. Just in case the bear market will come, what the above stocks need to be sold to play safe. I am thinking to sell KXS, LSPD, and NVEI, those stock prices may not be survival during the big drop in coming. Do you have the same feeling that the bear market will come? Can you please rank the above stocks able to survival during the bear market and please suggest to take off any just in case the worst worst things really happen.

Q: Hello 5i,
The above stocks have all pulled back between 13-22% recently.
What order, if at all, would you be adding to the positions?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hello,

What do you think of BR, and also could you please share your favorite fintech companies in both Canada and US?

Thank you

Q: What would you consider a good entry point on a pull back for each stock?

Q: I've owned ENGH for over a year and disappointed at its lack of traction. Would you do a flip of ENGH (closed at $61.85 as of 1/26) for NVEI (closed at $68.26 as of the same day) as a better name for a long term hold? If not NVEI can you recommend other names. Thanks.

Q: Can you please compare and contrast BFT (Paysafe) and Nuvei? I have started to see a lot of buzz on BFT ahead of it's transaction and wonder if you would consider it a buy? Picking between BFT and Nuvei would you favour one or the other? The numbers seem impressive. Who are their other competitors and what is the potential total addressable market?

Thanks!

Q: First of all, thanks for the service you provide. I have found it extremely useful since becoming a member. Second, I apologize for the number of stocks covered in the question. If it is too many, please do not respond / post.
Within the last 12 months, I have purchased the above stocks strictly for growth or as momentum plays.
I would like to know which ones you would sell, either because their momentum has likely peaked, or because their share price growth prospects are poor. Please deduct as many credits as required. Thanks

Q: I'm looking at tech companies for a long term hold. How would you rank these three: DND, DCBO and NVEI in terms of share price growth in a year or two? Thanks.

Q: My SHOP and LSPD positions have grown to 7% and 6% of my portfolio, looking to trim the positions slightly and add to some smaller weights in my portfolio with long term high growth. How would you rank as the best to add to currently out of NVEI, FB, AMZN, VEEV, CSU, DOCU or AT? This would be for TFSA.

Also for smaller caps like WELL and XBC, would would you consider as full positions? In the 3-5% range depending on one's risk tolerance? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team, following a recent question on a drop of price without news, can we assume profit taking. If so, is it good time to add? thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
In general, what does one do if a stock that was doing very well all of a sudden goes in a downward spiral without any news? I am using Nuvei as an example, but the question applies to other stocks that may experience similar investor sentiment.. Also, what is the best site to get earnings release dates as wells as latest news releases? Thanks very much

Q: Would you please rank these tech stocks for a long term buy at current prices, 5+ years, total return, growth-oriented portfolio. Thanks. NVEI, DCBO, ENGH, DND, KXS, OTEX.

Q: Please rank for (1) growth over medium term - 3 to 5 years, and (2) risk (lowest first).
(3) What percentage would you allocate to each.

Q: Hi, Nuvei took a hit Wednesday morning, I understand, in line with downward pressure on Big Tech, with Democrats win in Georgia senate. This company appears to be a favorite with 5i, based on your recent comments as well as the payment space, it operates. I think, it was also mentioned in one of the answers that Nuvei has a niche in sports and gaming payment settlements space. I noticed some news this morning which helped sports betting stocks like Draftking etc, jump 3-5%. Will this be beneficial to Nuvei ? I bought a small 0.5% position, today and still considering to bring it up to 1-1.5%. Thank You
