Q: Hello 5i team, given events of this week, a lot of valuations have changed. I have a lot of CLS and am hoping it's a solid stock that got tossed into the penalty box due to a perception of it just being an AI stock.
If you had $10,000 today, and were looking to invest in high-growth over the next 5 years, how would you allocate it please? Or if that's too specific, please order the stocks from most to least favourable if bought today.
Thank you!

Q: Read the Q&As almost daily for several years now.
Senior, retired and living on government pensions.
My question is about a growth-oriented TFSA cash allocation of about 10k or less than .75% of total equity portfolio. Will not need the funds for another 34 months.
Understand you cannot indicate position size or provide personal advice.
Current TFSA holdings in order of largest %age gain to biggest losers in TFSA is: TFII, TRI, DIR.un, DSG, KXS, LMN, TOI, TVK, EQB, DOL, DOO, PMZ.un, TIXT, REAL, S, HOT.un, EGLX. Top 10 are in excess of 1.50% of position size. Bottom six are headed for exit ramp in due course.
Across entire non-reg and TFSA portfolio am underweight Cons Cycl, COMMS, Industrials, Healthcare and international multi-sector.
Pondering adding to existing or a new TFSA position to add to the 40-plus I already have. So how would YOU allocate this 10K today?

Q: Hi, hold enough EIF that I want to divest and diversify. Looking for high growth over the next 4-5 years, but not as interested in dividends. I also hold a fair bit of CSU and gsy, so am thinking along those lines. What would be a good ranking for the following at today's prices (best to worst), and are there another couple additions you'd suggest? Big thanks!
DOL, BN, CLS, LMN, TOI, DRX, DSG, IFC, TRI, PRL, AFN, GFL.

Q: I was doing a high level look at my portfolio in terms of recent vs 3, 5, and 10 yr CAGR and saw what I expected from stellar performers like CSU, TRI, WSP, IFC and DSG. What surprised me was seemingly declining longer term performance (ie pre-dating interest rate changes) from FTS, QSR, GIB.A, and EIF. The balance of the portfolio is holding it’s own or is cyclical or I can see a path to renewed growth/performance. Are the four named really lagging or am I looking at the wrong metrics? If you agree they might be considered to be faltering versus past performance can you suggest “growthier” replacements without going too far out the risk scale? Thank you.
