Q: I am looking at a TFSA in which the funds will be withdrawn in about 5 years. I want to replace RY with something with a greater return potential, and will accept some risk for that hopeful gain in total return. Staying in Canada.

I am stuck picking between TOI, GSY, WELL, LSPD, ATZ and DOO. You seem to like them all. Which one or two would you pick today? and Why?

Q: Good morning 5i
My tech sector within a RRIF is over 20% of CSU, LSPD, TOI, and KXS. KXS has been at a loss until today. Would this be an opportunity to trim back and what other sectors would you consider as buy opportunities going forward next 3-5 years. The RRIF is otherwise well balanced after following your growth and balanced portfolios.
Thanks for all the excellent advice.

Q: Hi, Topicus stock has been on a tear this week, specially, during past 2 days. What are the factors, contributing to this remarkable performance, in your view. Is this the scarcity value, excellent results or the “ Mini - CSU” effect? We are quite happy to hold a decent position ( A Big Thank you for your valuable guidance, in absence of any analyst coverage) wondering, should we wait to add and what would be an attractive entry point. Thank you

Q: Dear 5i team,
My TFSA is not well balanced, and I am also trying to get the allocation mix correct in my RRSP too.
I have MX in my TFSA which is $1000 in the red. I have no technology in my TFSA- would it be smart to take the MX loss to take advantage of TOI’s likely growth - while getting to a better balance in sectors at the same time?

Thank you for your thoughts on this possible tactic, appreciated!

Q: Hello,
I am looking to purchase a stock for my RRIF. I would like to have something fairly safe.
With Amazon/Google being so expensive I would only be able to purchase a small number of shares but with Amazon having recently pulled back is now a good time to start a position? Where it is a RRIF would the dividend of IBM be a better choice or TOI for growth?
Thanks very much.

Q: CSU has been an amzing investment and thank you for your long standing recommendation. What would you consider the next most "CSU-like" company in terms of management and growth in any sector? Could you please provide one in Canada and one in US? Thanks so much. Please do not include TOI in your answer.

Q: I am wondering what your thoughts are on the earnings release. I have read your response to a similar question on revenues being up, cash flow, ... but I was hoping to hear if you were happy or not with the results and why. Personally, I was a little disappointed but I would prefer to hear your opinion. And do these results in any way change your opinion of the company. Thank You.

Q: Hi team. Two of my most "unsure" holdings are pltr and mgni. I was wondering how you feel about these long term. Would you continue to hold them? I was considering adding to TOI with the proceeds if I were to sell one, or both of them. What would be your suggestion for the long term here? Or is there any other of your absolute favourites at the moment that I should be buying today instead of holding pltr and mgni? Note that I already own TTD (same sector as mgni). Thanks for your input.
