Q: Just finished the book '100-baggers'. As a buy and hold guy, the 'coffee can portfolio' approach is relatable. If you guys could purchase 10 Canadian stocks to not touch for the next 5-10 years which stocks would you include? Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon, I have a 33% equal split of KXS,CJT and BAM, within a TFSA. I had a good run twice with KXS over the past couple of years, and suspect it may be topping out shortly. Would you consider a switch to TOI to be a sound move. This is a growth portfolio.
Thanks for your always sound advice, Steve.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
I have followed 5i and my well diversified RRIF now has >20% Tech due to the growth of the 4 companies held. Until recently, only KXS was in the Red but now all 4 look great. Would you consider any for trimming back to keep sector less than 15% and where else should one go for any buy and hold at this record levels ?
Thanks for all the expert guidance!

Q: Hi, These stocks have been on a tear recently, specially NVEI, and the guess is, with no specific news. The momentum has simply been Amazing !!! We have no immediate plans to add to or 5-6% position in each. But if we do, does it make sense ? Would you wait for share prices to settle and what would be a decent buy price for each ? Also could you prioritize them in order of current valuation vs growth prospects. Thank You

Q: Over the last couple of months a lot of Canadian tech stocks have seen huge gains in a very short time.

CSU from $1,730 to $2,130
DCBO from $65 to $104;
DSG from $70 to $97;
KXS from $135 to $199;
LSPD from $85 to $131;
MAGT from $26 to $55;
NVEI from $100 to $161;
TOI from $80 to $125.

1) Do you think this is getting overdone and are we due for some kind of correction in this sector?

2) Are any of the above still good buys after these large, rapid price increases?

3) Are there any Canadian tech stocks that have "missed the party" so to speak, haven't seen large rapid price increases like those above, and are good buys currently?

Thanks.

Q: I am overweight in tech by about 10% in my portfolio and I should sell some positions to increase my exposure in other sectors. What is your conviction in order of preference on APPL, CSU, NVDA, OTEX, TTD and TOI if I need to sell some portions or all of any of these holdings?

Q: Hi there,
I have been enjoying the run up in TOI and have been thinking of adding to my quarter position. I have been adding along the way and have a dollar cost average of about 93 bucks a share. I am debating whether I should add here, raising the per share cost - but it seems like a parabolic jump in price. Alternatively, I wonder whether I should wait for a dip. And if I do so, what is a fair value to buy at? It seems like TOI may go the way of CSU or SHOP longer term and I do have a window of about 5-10 years. For what it is worth, I still regret not buying shop at about two hundred dollars because I thought it was overvalued.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
Read Answer Asked by Erna on August 27, 2021
Q: Could you please some insights into the relationship between the number of analysts covering a company and the number of institutions holding that investment? For example, I was surprised to hear that TOI only has one analyst, while Yahoo shows 109 institutions holding shares. Is this simply because they were "given" shares from CSU? If that wasn't the case, how many institutions would you expect to be holding shares (roughly)? I'm trying to get a sense of what high vs low institutional interest looks like. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

I have both tech stocks and now both have similar price. If I want to invest more for the current moment, which one have better potential for the long term.
Many thanks and please kindly advise.
Read Answer Asked by kwokwai on August 27, 2021
Q: Greetings 5i,

The company's listed are TFSA holdings. The goal of the TFSA is moderately aggressive growth. Time frame is 4-8 years. Equities are purchased in equal weights and rebalanced based on weighting.

SLF and BNS are also held in other accounts, at an overall portfolio percent of ~5-6%. Which would you recommend adding to at this time? What do you consider the weakest from this list? Would you consider removing any from the TFSA holding only in either a non reg or reg account? If so, why? And which one, two or three additional growth oriented companies, either CAD or USD would you recommend.

Take as many credits as required.

Thank you for the excellent service.
