Investment Q&A

Q: After recent news/earnings and along the thinking that AI will not completely replace SAAS but work along side it and even provide positive tailwinds, do you think its time to rotate a bit more from hardware to software or proceed with caution still? I hold CLS, NVDA, NBIS, VRT in hardware and CSU,LMN,TOI,SPOT, SHOP,CRWD,BKNG,TRI in software. Also own GOOG. I'm trying to find the right balance. If we look at SOXX/IGV, are we going to see mean reversion back to the mean?

Also what part of the market or credit cycle do you think we are in? Mid to late cycle? Should we be more defensive or still slowly adding to growth names? Thanks!

Q: Can you comment on results from both WSP and TOI after calls (not sure if TOI has a call). Were there any surprises good or bad? Looking forward, where do you see each 6 months out?

Q: These 3 companies: STN; WSP; TOI reported year end and quarterly financials today. I'd be interested on your thoughts regarding the results for each and going forward. Three questions in one. Deduct as many credits/ points as needed. Thanks.
Robert

Q: Please comment on Topicus earnings.

Do you consider these results to help dissipate the AI related fears ?

Thanks

Q: Whatsoever the market expect from Topicus today for earnings?

Thx

Q: Hi 5i
I know you very much like the Csu group. If you had to sell one of CSU, LMN or TOI, which one would it be?
Thank .. Gilles

Q: in my grandsons acc i have lmn it is down 41% should i switch it for csu at this time

Q: Will you please let your members know if you see any significant insider buys from the Csu family as this could be the bell ringer for the bottom? What is a good site to track insider moves?

Thx

Q: We know that the market moves in advance of the stocks earnings as some say 3 to 6 months in advance. With these 3 stocks, is it possible that is happening, the market is talking to us and we are NOT listening?

Also, as stated before, could it be that if these stocks beat their earnings, that they may still go down with the reason that the market will feel that AI has not fully effected their earnings yet?

Thanks

Q: Hi Team, I've always found it hard to get accurate valuations on the CSU family. Can you provide, to the best of your capability, the current valuation of each for current fiscal and one year out? Also, where in your crystal 🔮 do see capitulation possibly occurring. Thanks for all you work!

Q: How would you rank the listed names today for new positions in the TFSA of a growth oriented investor?

Q: A number of your past favourites are getting crushed in the market. Based on fundamentals do you see red flags with any of these companies or do you feel it’s an overreaction by the market? Do you consider these companies Buy/Hold/Sell?

Thank You
Tim

Q: Of these beaten up software stocks, which 3 or 4 stocks would you choose, keeping in mind greatest return potential and not too much overlap between the picks. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
First of all, I wold like to thank you for the "Five from 5i" in general, but specifically the "Is Inflation Higher Than We Think" article - a great read!!
Secondly, pertaining to the article about the fee reductions for some Vanguard ETF's, I notice that VIG is there, but not VGG. Would VGG receive any benefit from the VIG fee reduction, given that it isn't specifically mentioned. (unless it was there, and I missed it - always a very real possibility....)
Thirdly, I am looking for some current recommendations for my grandchildrens' RESP's. Their ages are 5 - 7 yrs. old. One Family RESP holds BN (up 112+ %) and the other holds VGG (+73+ %). I went through the existing RESP questions, but given the current volatility and market uncertainty, I thought I would ask for your current favourites, given the foregoing. I certainly like many of the options given in previous questions, but I feel that the environment is slightly different now than it was several months ago.
As always, thanks so much for the awesome service!!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: please rate these companies in order of best buy for 5 year hold.
thanks

Q: What to do with $10864 in TFSA? At 74 years I exist on a public sector DB pension.

Transitioning my TFSA to be more growth focused. 14 holdings currently, major ones being BN, TRI, TFII, TVK, KXS, TOI, EQB, LMN, DSG, PNG, DRX, REAL, S, EGLX. Also have 41 equities in much larger balanced dividend growth non-reg account but Brookfield Group is pushing 15% of total portfolio with overall 65% Canada exposure. Overall below sector targets in consumer cycle, health, RE, Industrial, Utilities as well as International exposure.

Realizing you cannot get personal but I am looking for another viewpoint on how to use the funds in TFSA this year besides adding more Brookfield or software or financials. With available funds could only add 4 units of CSU anyway.

Q: Hi, Sorry there are lot of companies listed but in summary this is three part question:

1. I have BAM2%,BN9%,BEP5%. I was thinking of putting new money to KKR or BX or APO. Should i add new money to existing positions or to new positions. Which one and approx. price please.

2. All the listed are in red in various taxable and registered accounts. Which one is good candidate for new money , which one would be sell and hold.

3. ISRG is at 1.5%. Should i go to 5% in one shot or go slowly or just hold on . This is in taxable account.

Thanks

Q: Good day,

Wild few days in the market. As a stroke of luck, I transferred one of my managed accounts over so I could manage it myself, and that sale happened early last week and it is sitting in my account, ready to deploy. As a lucky tailwind, I don't want to squander it. Mostly in RRSP account.

Would you be adding to CLS, BAM, SHOP, TVK, PNG, ZDC right now? In order of priority please with a small 'why'.


I had purchased some AEM 1-2 years ago (great recommendation, thanks), and it has flown. Is it an add now and/or are there other Materials tickers you would suggest? Doesn't have to be precious, as long as they are executing well and have quality assets and a solid runway. maybe 1-2 each for precious, critical, and non-precious?

I sold TOI last summer, and with this crazy "Software off" cycle here, would you start accumulating? like 20 or 25% of a position? Is TOI the most likely candidate to return to its growth trajectory when the world begins to appear normal again?

Thanks for Everything!

James

PS. While looking at all my statements while transferring over to Questrade for their cashback promotion, my statements had my annualized returns calculated over 1 3 5 and inception. Since inception was 21% which I'm staked about, but my 3 year annualized was 43% !!! I just renewed my 4th year with 5i. Thanks Thanks THANKS!

Q: Hi 5i Team - With the continued downward trend of these three companies, do you think it is still now all AI fear related, and if so is there a chance some of these fears are legitimate. I think you have stated that fundamentals remain the same. Have there been any announcements from CSU, TOI, and LMN supporting their businesses and attempting to reassure investors over the past several months.
Has there been any insider buying or selling over the past half year.
It seems that Lumine may be getting hit the hardest of the three. Would that be your opinion as well.
If trimming positions in these three stocks, in what order would you do it and would the reverse hold true if adding.
Thanks.

Q: I currently have HIVE,ZOMD,SHOP,GFL,CLBT and TOI. All are less than 2% weight. Would you be buying any of these stocks today? I am a long term holder and money not needed for 15 years.

Thanks
