Q: Hi 5i,

I'm considering adding to my EGLX position. Risk tolerance is high and time horizon is 3-5 years (+). I currently have a small position (430 shares with ACB of $6.9) held inside my TFSA. Would you consider this a good time to add to this position? Has your outlook / conviction changed towards EGLX in the past few months? Are there any other growth stocks that you consider a good buy right now (especially with the recent pullback of tech stocks)? The sector doesn't have to be tech.

Alternatively, I'm considering picking up more TOI or NVEI (I have a strong conviction in both these two and have small positions of each inside my TFSA).

Thanks - love the service and can't recommend it enough to friends and colleagues!

Rob

Q: Hi Team,

Do you find OTMO a compelling buy for a 3-5 year hold based on its current fundamentals?
It’s seems to have been hammered pretty hard over the last few months, is there something I am missing?

Thanks for your excellent and unparalleled service!

Cheers

Q: Dear 5i,

I know there isn't an exact answer for this but, what approx. loss % would trigger a margin call. Is it broker, investor, net worth and stock specific?
What threshold do you think it might be for a Robinhood type investor owning ARKK ETF, Tesla, bitcoin, AMC, GameStop on margin?
With the recent market turbulence I was concerned that there might be a wave of margin calling from many brokers that would put even more downside pressure on the overall market. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Hello,
I am wondering if you can weigh in on these two companies and make a case of which one (if either) are worthy of new money.

VTEX - recent IPO sitting just above IPO pricing. Sounds like a sort of baby Shopify with a Latin American focus and some major clients on board. Small market cap. Would you endorse this or stay away?

WRLD - Friday recommendation in another service and it sounds something like a small, US based version of GSY. It seems to be doing well and the stock price is reflecting that in recent months. Do you like or not and why?

I guess an overriding question would be if these small caps offer enough growth to justify not just putting money to work in SHOP (vs VTEX) or WRLD (vs GSY).
