Q: Which do you currently like better for growth. I must admit hearing that SHOP has started down the POS road makes me slightly nervous about LSPD. On the other hand LSPD has a lot of cash DSG a little debt. We also own SHOP, KXS,TEAM,NVDA,CSU,AYX in the tech space. Would be selling LSPD for a tax loss if you think DSG is better.

Q: Hi, I currently hold CGI and have held it for a couple years now up 60% in registered account. I'm looking to switch to OTEX, DSG, or ENGH for more growth long term, what do you think? Can you rank these 4 stocks. I already own SHOP, KXS, LSPD, CSU and don't want too much overlapping tech. Thanks!

Q: I am about to triple the size of my investment in the portfolio above and give equal weighting to all. Virtually all of this new money will be in non-registered accounts. In total, this self-directed portfolio will represent 20% of my holdings; I also have 40% in a growth-focused pension fund, and 40% in a mix of ETFs through a robo-advisor.
Do you have any suggested changes to the list of names? I am primarily focused on growth, with a 3-5 year horizon.
Do you recommend a different weighting e.g. heavier on some, lighter on others?
What are your thoughts regarding timing? I am tempted to put all of the new money in now, betting on the sustainability of the recent recovery. But I understand that a phased approach will reduce risk.
Thanks for your help.

Q: I currently own DSG,KXS,LSPD,OTEX,PHO,SYZ. I know you took out SYZ some time ago and can't find what you replaced this stock with? I know you still follow SYZ and just wondered if you feel that there is a better stock than SYZ or would you continue to hold this stock with the other stock mentioned?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I currently have shares in LSPD and RESN and looking to add two more tech oriented names, and can be either US or CAN$. Do you have two growth companies you could suggest to start new positions at current share prices, with the intention for a 5 year min hold?
Thank you
Terry

Q: Hi Peter and 5i:
Thanks you for all your sage advice during the C19 situation. The question and answer part of your website is invaluable. Also thanks for the special reports you've issued.
I have almost a full position in KXS with the gains from the past year. It is in my TFSA. I'm starting to build a position in DSG with my TFSA yearly contributions. With the run up of KXS would you trim a bit and put the proceeds to DSG. Or just let it run? I know you still like it a ton.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

How would you rank BYD, PBH, QSR and DSG for an add on in a RESP? Time frame is 8 years. Would rankings change within a TFSA?

Q: Hi guys,

In today's environment, would you be more inclined to let these names grow a little larger than normal ie: instead of selling the stock when it grows to 7% (back to 4%) of your portfolio, let it get to 10%.
Thanks

Jim
