Q: There seems to be a consistent view by 5i and others that Small and Mid Cap stocks have started to lead the market and will continue to do so over the next 2 to 3 years.

What are your current top 5 Small/Mid cap US and Cdn stocks? Could you also add what you think are good entry points?

Thank you;
Tim

Q: I currently hold a 1.75% position in UBER and 2.65% position in CLBT, both in registered accounts. Considering selling UBER to top up CLBT to 4.4%. Can you please comment on comparative prospects for both (risk/reward) and indicate - if this were your portfolio - if you would be inclined to build a full position in CLBT. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team.

I have some names in my TFSA account such as ATD, ATX and ENGH (and maybe some others) that are laggers and would like to move out of them and into something with potentially higher returns.
I also own the other names mentioned above.
What are your thoughts and could you recommend 3 to 5 Canadian and/or US names with the reasons and entry points.
also own NVDA that has grown to a huge percentage of the account.
I know that I should sell some but it has been such a great performer.


Thank you
Joe

Thanks!

Q: The subject stocks have all run up fairly significantly. Can you comment on current valuations vs historic, and whether you believe projected earnings support current valuations? Your recent response to a question on volume included that you love new highs with high volume, has that been the case with any of these three stocks?

Q: Good Day,

I, like many 5i folks, have enjoyed a sizable run up on NVDA. It is now the largest company in the world, north of 3.5T. Now that we are this size, is it safe to say that it is unlikely it will double within the 18-24 month 'safe window'? From here, a Double makes it approx 14-15% of the entire US Stock market (google says it's currently about 54T).

Now that many AI models are advancing/pushing focus to the next stages, inference, etc, and with MSFT working with AMD on a chip for such, and those chips also requiring HBM3 memory, would there be an argument for managin ones NVDA position down to a more normal size, IE not overly overweight, and picking up positions in AMD and MU, for example?

I know that NVDA is optimally positioned to capitalize, with excellent margins, market share, etc, but at this size, I feel like NVDA losing even 5% market share would be punished, even though it would still have the lions share. But if AMD took that 5%, that would be a significant increase for it and could precipitate it being the next T market cap with a bit of momentum.

What are your thoughts on this type of logic? Are their other companies you think have a better chance of doubling in the coming year or 2?

Thanks for everything,

James

Q: Hi team ,
Clbt has really jumped from the $17 up to the $20 level just in the last couple days . Do you feel if a person wanted to buy some shares we should now wait for a pullback day ? Or do you feel it might just keep going higher? Was there any news that would explain the big jump in the last few days?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: I'm up 24% on ABBV in my cash account - down almost 50% since Trump was elected. It is currently a half position. I also hold ISRG in the same cash account at a 1.75% position. Considering selling ABBV and investing proceeds in ISRG, increasing this holding to 4.25%. (My other health holding is CLBT at a 2.5% weight in my TFSA.) Given tax implications/risk, what would you do?

Q: Hi Folks,
I hold CELH in my non registered account. Would now be a good time to sell to harvest a tax loss. Also, would you buy it back after the 30 days or would you move on to something else. If moving on, can you recommend 2 or 3 other small cap names for me to look at?
Thanks

Q: It seems the thesis behind CLBT is very similar to that of AXON and Magnet Forensics (before being taken private); the increased need to digitalize police work to encompass growing amounts of data in an increasingly digitalized world along w/ the need to drive efficiency in policing due to increased societal threats and draws on manpower?

I also see that Sun Corporation owns 45% of CLBT shares which seems quite high - does this pose any outsized risk other than if they want to dump shares to raise cash?

How would you rate this stock in terms of risk/reward?

Many thanks as always!
