Q: Could you tell me which 5 of these TFSA companies you would add money to first in a correction. Could you also give me two, not in this list that you consider better or just as good than these names, for a tfsa.
Thanks for all you do. Gilles

Q: Hello 5i,

There is a lot of noise about Stablecoins, gold, US debt reduction and opportunities in crypto coins to take advantage of servicing transactions. IF Stablecoins are rolled out by the US gov't, how will this affect GLXY?

Do you have Crypto suggestions if Stablecoins are backed by the US gov't? Most of this is above our heads but Trump knows how to go bankrupt and make a fortune.

Thank you
D&J

Q: In a recent response to a question, you suggested that US financials were your second highest conviction sector, after tech.


With that in mind, could you please share your top six U.S. financial picks, ranked by conviction? Does BRK.B make the list? I’d appreciate a brief justification either way.

Thank you,

Q: It's all your fault? For which I'm always grateful for your sound advice. This is a good problem to have. NBIS is now 13% , HOOD 10%, CLS 15% and SHOP 14%. Yes, Im going to trim but the growth prognosis is good for all 4 going forward. What would you advise as decent position size for all 4 going into the 4th quarter?
Thank you David

Q: GENI/SRAD Taking a bit of a hit today. Still up huge on the year obviously but is this decline a buying opportunity for someone looking to build a full position? What news or factors have created this decline?

Q: Hello 5i,
New to portfolio analytics, can’t say enough about this team! Bravo.

Circumstances forced me to shuffle financially this past year.
43, pension, rentals. 55 freedom or forget it.

Highest conviction, growth, maj; tech, leaning themes to the next decade, a sprinkle of sector diversity, large/mid/small caps, predominantly US. I’m aware of course of all the caveats here lol. A 12-15 starter pack would be fabulous.

This is you starting today; You have 300k.
I do add 700 per week, please exclude
BN, TRI, ISRG, COST, HIMS, NBIS, NVDA, BKSY.

Eagerly waiting! Thank you.

Q: There has been a huge run in the AI related stocks which your service has nailed. Thank you! Are there other sectors that you think have growth and upside right now, and why? If you have a sector(let's say gold, or consumer, etc), could you give a couple names US and CDA as well? Or should I just look in your portfolios for your picks?

Q: Hi team,
What’s your latest take on Clbt? Is it worth holding for a hopeful recovery ? Or is there overall”better” growth names a guy should own instead right now ? Names I was debating replacing Clbt with were APP, Hood , Geni. Of these 4 names mentioned how would you rank them for potential over the next few years? Or is there another top pick of another US name you would choose today?

Thanks

Q: Hello Team,

Would you sell full position in XYZ to buy HOOD? Would you buy now or wait for a pull back in HOOD? Say around $105? I am looking for real/stable growth over long periods of time.

Thank you for sharing your insight into these two companies.

Best,
Saeed :)

Q: I know you have mentioned HOOD as a high conviction stock before. I haven’t followed it but have always thought of it as a bet on crypto. In doing some reading, I see the platform is quite popular among young people, not just for trading crypto but also for stock trading. It has recently expanded outside the US and just announced they are launching a social network. Could I please get your thought on the new social platform? Could it have huge potential? HOOD has had a huge runup and is now around its all-time high. Would you buy HOOD today? If so, would you want for a pullback? Thanks.

Q: HI guys,

On CNBC last week Michael Saylor discussed MSTR and one of the things he mentioned was it was designed to be 2X BTC movement.

I'm talking short term history here, not over years.

In the past 5 days Mstr is -1.32%, 1 month it is -15.96% and the past 3 months it is - 13.43%

However BTC has performed past 5 days +4.67%, 1 month - 2.31% and 3 month +11.1%.

As you can see BTC has outperformed MSTR quite substantially over the recent past.

Why would you think this is happening? Is the MSTR trade done? What do you reccomend for BTC exposure?

Thanks

Q: Dear 5i
Out of the above listed stocks , what would be your order of preference in a margin account and a TFSA account . By preference i mean level of earnings and quality of company ?
Also would you add any of these names to an RRSP , assuming an otherwise balanced portfolio , or perhaps consider CLS , Nebius or SRAD instead ?
Thanks
Bill C
Read Answer Asked by Bill on September 10, 2025
Q: In 5i's recent video, it was suggested that - because of extreme volatility - an initial investment in crypto shouldn't exceed 1%. About six weeks ago, I took a 3% position in HOOD, reasoning that its diverse areas of business should insulate it somewhat from the wild crypto swings. Up 9% now in a TFSA. Given HOOD's high beta (>2.3), the likelihood that markets will go down in September, and the size of my current holding, if this were your portfolio, would you be inclined to take the small profit and reduce exposure down to the suggested 1%? I recognize you cannot provide personal advice, so hope I am not crossing the line with this question. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,

Thanks for the podcast section on crypto. Very much enjoyed it.

If you could only buy and hold two of these for a med to long term, which would you choose? (Any particular reasons why?)

TIA!

Q: Hello 5i Team,

For a long-term hold, focusing on total return, ignoring sector diversity, and considering a medium-to-high level of risk, could you please provide your 12 highest conviction small/mid-cap U.S. stocks at this time, ranked in order.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!
