Investment Q&A

Q: These stocks have pulled back recently. Would you be adding to these stocks at these levels and in what order would you add?

Are there other small caps you prefer?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Propel stock had, lately been doing well, hitting a high of $42, late January, after an analyst upgrade. Today, a month later, it has done full circle, back to $34.50, where, it was trading since October, 2024.

Is this just profit taking or a shadow of the big brother GSY ( just reported ), in your view, or something has changed ( Trump jitters ) ?

Do you still continue to expect excellent growth ( UK acquisition etc ) and would be comfortable adding after this pullback ?

Thank You

Q: I hold these small/mid cap stocks. Most have done well.

It looks like the interest rates vs inflation discussion isn’t going away soon and rates may be higher for longer. With this as the backdrop and current uncertainty around the markets is this a time to lighten up on Small/Mid cap stocks and take some profit? Or would you hold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Does the recent 10% dividend increase signal a strong earnings report is ahead? Some brokers have a $52 price target. good time to add?

Q: Hi 5i!

How would you rank these in terms of health & growth potential over the next 5 years.

Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Q: Hi Peter,
My new strategy this yr is to buy growth stocks that have done public offerings to finance future growth in 2025/26. Can you think of any other names to add to this list?

Q: Hello,
Can you please give me your input on Paypall earnings. Is it a sell ?
Thanks !

Q: We've been reading of lots of deregulation coming in the U.S generally, but especially in the financial sector. Pundits have taken to saying 'animal spirits will be unleashed'. Additionally, I wonder if orange imperialism will tend to trickle down to C suites. Can you suggest a Canadian name or two in relevant sectors that might be more likely to be taken out?
(With the proviso that their debt levels be on the low side for sector average.)
Deduct as you see fit.
Thank You,
Tim

Q: My sense is that Dollarama will continue to grow on plan and perhaps do better under the US Tariff plan.

From a Tariff perspective please provide your evaluation of the following names and how they might prevail or be negatively affected by US Tariffs:

SHOP
ATD
DOL
PRL (propel Holdings)
WCN
GFL

Thank You, Patrick

Q: When does Propel announce next earnings?
Thanks

Q: Hi, you have indicated that both of these stocks serve similar areas and should do well as interest rates fall. What are the potential benefits of each of these for the next 3 years, which would you choose first, and why? Thank you for an interesting service.

Q: Greetings 5i Team,
I hold these securities in a TFSA and am looking to add a new position. At the same time, I will be trimming some of these as they have done very well.
Could you make a few suggestions for a new addition? Growth is the objective and diversification need not be overly considered (I am well diversified within other accounts).
Thank you for providing this great service.

Q: Which stock: HPS.A, PRL, TVK or VHI would have the most growth going forward? I take after today, it's best to wait a few days?

Thanks for your service!

Q: Down 7.5% today (27/01/25). Is this possibly an AI related thing/

Q: 5i,

My Taxable Account is CAN only 3 months old. I'm lucky enough to restructure my entire portfolio these past few months for some optimization.

The goal outperformance of XIC. Large and midcap growth primarily. Core moat players as well. I'm shifting back to a more concentrated stock portfolio.

I add underperformers and cyclicals for boosts outside of my core. ie: NTR, TD, LUG
thus far this year.
Core by weight;
CSU, TFII
DOL, DSG, SHOP, WSP
BN, CNQ, STN, CLS, TRI
TVK.

Outside of materials, gold; no retail; no reits. If this was you. Do you add a company that doesn't meet your growth expectation/debt/cash flow etc for balance ie ENB.
Or add to your current.

Looking for your sage advice as well as 2 potential core additions or adds and 2 other high conviction torque. No parameters.

Thank you!

Q: Hi Team,
At the time of this question PRL is up approx 6% and GSY 3%. Just wondering if there is anything sector related to account for the positive move today being that both these names are moving up together today? GSY is finally starting to build some steam...any comments? Perhaps share buybacks at GSY?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi, for smaller cap companies, what would be your max position sizing for someone that is a medium/high growth oriented investor. What are some criteria's you look at when sizing a position depending on if it is small, mid, or large cap? Beta/volatility, cyclicality? I'm guiding towards 5-8% for larger cap names such as CSU, BN, BKNG, GOOG, etc... and 2-3% for smaller names such as LMN, TVK, PRL, WELL, VHI, ATZ, etc.. I know for more volatile names, a smaller position can have just as large an impact in a portfolio. Thanks!
