Investment Q&A

Q: Hi please name 5 top growth stocks with high earning increase . Thanks.

Q: What do you think about L-T Buy and Holds on the above 6 stocks (ADSK, CSU, ATD, BRK.B, INMD, CNR)? Are there any that you would not buy at the present time? Purchases would be funded by new $ and selling DDOG and APPS? Would you be okay with parting with them as part of adding to the above?

Q: Which analysts cover CSU? The company website has no information on this.

Q: So I have added BN and GSY as more growth orientated stocks to my conservative ( banks, utilities, telecom, reits ) non registered account and now looking to add two of these seven names to the mix. Which look the most attractive regarding valuation, balance sheet and growth and why ? Thanks. Derek

Q: I hold CRWD (1.5%) and APPL (1.45%). My choices are: sell them both and purchase CSU; sell CRWD and buy more APPL; sell APPL and buy more CRWD. Which option would you recommend? Moderate risk; five year timeframe. Thank you.

Q: Good day all!
We currently have the above stocks on the tech side of our registered and non-registered portfolios. Looking to bring our portfolio in balance with recommended weights.
Can you please suggest 2 new stocks each for non registered and TFSA account that are good buys now. Dividends welcomed but not necessary.

Thank you

Roger

Q: Hi there,

If you had to pick 5 stocks that that you think will return the greatest returns 5 years out, which would they be in order? Not "yolo" names, but 5 stocks with good risk/reward, 5 years looking out.

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i team,
Just curious about grading companies. CSU seems to be the best of the best in Canada in terms of the ideal stock.

What is missing from CSU that you do not give it an A+.

Q: I currently have no tech holdings. Could you please give your 3 top recommendations given current conditions and if it would be best to take full positions now or maybe average in over the year.
thanks

Q: My son has a small portfolio consisting of two ETF’s and seven stocks (CN, AAXN, NVDA, CRWD, DDOG, DIS, TTWO). We have picked stocks that have good potential, but that are also fun for him to follow. He is using the ETF’s to give his portfolio some diversification with 20% in ZSP and 15% in XIT. He is investing for the long term. He now has some extra cash to buy another stock or two. Would you have some suggestions? We are also thinking of selling XIT and splitting the proceeds between CSU and maybe one other stock. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hi

Thank you for your reply below.

We will not be selling our BRK,B.

We can not afford to buy a worthwhile position in CSU without selling BRK.B.

Another factor is that BRK.B is in our RRSP accounts, and the capital gains becomes an issue if we go to our cash accounts.

Would it make sense to add to XIT as CSU is its largest holding.

Its a situation of having champagne taste on a beer pocket book.

Thanks again

Mike





Question:
Hello I am low in Tech and high in Financials. Thinking of selling my BRK.B and buying CSU. Your comments or your suggestions are most welcome. Thank you Mike

Answer:
We would consider both of these to be very high quality stocks, and would be fine with this switch if it matches one's sector goals. Because BRK.B is so solid, though, we might consider swapping something else if there are other financial stocks to choose from.

Q: Looking for recommendations for growth to add into RESP with cash to deploy for a full position. Earliest withdrawal timeline for funds in 12 years and could stretch for 20. Already holding SHOP, CSU, VFV, HDIF.

Q: Can you recommend 3-5 choices for an RRSP investment. Can you confirm that one would generally choose less speculative investments or less risky investments within an RRSP, as one can not "harvest" a tax loss within an RRSP

Q: I own the above Canadian Stocks.

Please rate each of the above as a BUY, HOLD or SELL and the reasons for your rating. Thank You.

Q: Hi, Thank you for the updated research report on Constellation Software. I found it really interesting and highly informative. We have owned CSU shares in all family members' accounts and thanks to stock's glowing performance over these years ( Big Thanks to 5i's strong conviction), its weighting continues to grow. Even after trimming our holding regularly, every year, CSU has a weighting between 12% to 15%, in each portfolio. In addition, we also own TOI, between 2.5% to 3.5% for each member. We like CSU a lot and the TOI/Lumine spinoffs are just one of those host of reasons. Need your expert opinion on following:

1. We leave the CSU weight as is and continue to trim each year, eventually to reach,
say 7-10% weight over next 5-10 years. Do you see much company/sector risk with this strategy ?
( This approach has helped us in spreading huge built in capital gains - ACB $450, over separate years. Based on tenure/experience of our ownership, we are very comfortable with 10% +)

2. We cut TOI holding to <2% or eliminate altogether, as CSU already has a large ownership in the company.

3. We leave CSU and TOI, at currents weights 12.5%/2.5%, in each member's portfolio and do nothing.

Total Tech weighting in each member's portfolio is 20-25 %, balance being SHOP and KXS,

Thank you.

Q: In your opinion is a weighting of 10% of CSU too much to have in one's portfolio? Thank You.

Q: Would you recommend using investment money to help pay off a line of credit? That money would be coming from a tfsa. If so, from the list provided, please list the top 5 stocks in order that you would sell?

APPLE and MSFT would be sold at a loss.

Thanks for everything

Q: Can you rank which stock you would prefer in here to buy for a 3 year hold for maximum capital gain potential MSFT. CSU Descartes?
