Investment Q&A

Q: Topicus or Shopify over the next 5 years? Or 50/50?

Q: Hello Peter et al,

I have had $250,000 in cash for about a year now and have recently bought LSPD, TOI and BBD near all time highs for the 3 companies i.e. approximately 40%, 40% and 20% of the portfolio. Of course since I invested in these securities, they have all declined, LSPD more than the others. I have a high risk tolerance and won’t need the money for at least 5 years. With the yields increasing, is there a higher risk of my investments tanking or should I stay invested? As always, your advice is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Q: Any particular reason Toi has been a bit weak of late?

Q: What technology stocks would you recommend investing in right now, US and Canada?

Q: Between TOI and CSU, which one is better buy today in terms of long term growth/return and which one has lower risk?

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm considering adding to my EGLX position. Risk tolerance is high and time horizon is 3-5 years (+). I currently have a small position (430 shares with ACB of $6.9) held inside my TFSA. Would you consider this a good time to add to this position? Has your outlook / conviction changed towards EGLX in the past few months? Are there any other growth stocks that you consider a good buy right now (especially with the recent pullback of tech stocks)? The sector doesn't have to be tech.

Alternatively, I'm considering picking up more TOI or NVEI (I have a strong conviction in both these two and have small positions of each inside my TFSA).

Thanks - love the service and can't recommend it enough to friends and colleagues!

Q: Can you please rank these companies in terms of your preference, with a growth perspective in mind, starting from most preferred first?

Q: HELLO 5i TEAM, I'm looking to add a couple of tech stocks after this down draw is past. Please advise the "NET DEBT" for each of the above companies, and which 5i would recommend a buy in a month or so.

Q: Hello Team,
Thank you for your excellent guidance and overall coverage of TOI from the outset.Could you please help us understand the significance of the press release of Oct First?

Q: Hi Peter,

Does a portfolio, that is made up of the stocks listed above, agreeable to you if one has a longer term time frame, say 5 years plus and has a high tolerance for risk?

Thanks,

Q: First time poster here.
With the slight decline recently, which of these following companies do you guys like the most for a growth portfolio for the next 5-10 years? I have 150K to invest (consider this fun spending money and money to play with), and I want to know how much of the 150K would you guys invest in each of these companies separately? ie. 35k in CSU etc
(side note), the report card for TOI said it was valued at 10 billion when it was $60/share. But now it's $131/share and everywhere I read it says 5 billion market cap. Was this a typ-o?). Thanks!

Q: All 3 are down today (Wednesday) when market is up. LSPD down a lot, no longer muted. Can you comment more on what's happening to LSPD and what outlook holds? Any adjustment in your opinion? As for SHOP, it's been flat to down for a while now. Any reason why? What is the compelling story behind it? Would you buy it now?

Q: The markets pre-COVID were rising at a reasonable rate year to year, with the odd market downturn. Since March/April 2020 the markets have shot up and stocks are trading at much higher multiples than pre-COVID. Eventually, reality may kick-in. There are many companies trading at very high evaluations. If you look at the overall market (i.e. Nasdaq) you see an exponential growth curve for the past 18 months, definitely not sustainable and possibly overpriced.? I still buy stocks but sometimes feel that if the market turns around, it could be years for it to come back. (I am more concerned about companies such as SHOP, NVEI, TTD, LSPD, NVDA, TOI, UPST, ... all of which are great companies but if we overpay, payback could be much more than 5 years.) I thought same about Netflix, I was totally wrong and missed out on one of the biggest lifetime opportunities BUT there must be a point where the price is definitely too high. Are we overpaying? Will we regret this at some point? Your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: My hold the following Canadian tech stocks: CSU, KXS, LSPD, ENGH, SHOP, and TOI. Based on your continued support of NVEI and DSG, I would like to add them as well. However, I would like to ensure diversification and so wish to avoid companies that are similar to those which I already own. So my question is, would owning these 8 companies provide me with a diverse mix of Canadian tech stocks?

Q: Good morning, 5 i team!

Your thought on a list of all your A graded companies covering almost all sectors for a TFSA account, equal weighted, long term hold. We will review periodically based on your report monthly.Thank you!

Q: I've been in Topicus since $60 so now it's a relatively large position in my TFSA. What do you feel would be an appropriate weighting for such a growth account? Thanks...

Q: Looking for 3 companies to buy during a pull back, what companies do you suggest and at what price?

Q: Hi,
I currently have these stocks in my TFSA CAD account. They are almost all equally weighted. Do you think there needs to be any adjustments?

I understand they are all growth stocks except ZSP. Is it a problem if I only have these growth stocks?

Thank you!

Q: Hi,

I have a small amount of funds available to invest inside my TFSA. I already hold a small position of TOI (26 shares) and really like the company. I'm looking to either: add to the TOI position, or start a new position in NVEI or ASAN. They all seem quite pricey with current valuations (with NVEI and ASAN rising sharply in the past few days). Based on current valuation, which do you prefer for a minimum 5-year hold. Risk tolerance high.

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Research
In your June report on Toi stock you pointed out that if Csu would sell their shares of Toi ,it would get hit very hard.My question is what is the likelihood that they would sell and when might they do that also why ?
Thanks as always for your great feedback.
