Investment Q&A

Q: Wondering if you are still positive towards this company and do you see it as a buy, sell, or hold. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Research team,

I have a brokerage account where I get Analyst Rating change Notice about the stocks I hold. One of my holding is GOOGL:Q and today there was an analyst rating change from Mizuho Securities for the current price target to US$205 from previous price target of US$295. Normally this kind of downgrading gives weakness in stock price.

My question is "do this kind of large price decrease targets are normal and do these people have inside information what normal investor have no clue"?

Your thoughts about the company will be appreciated.

Q: How do you think the mistake will change the revenue and growth of CRWD.
Thank You

Q: I'm writing to seek your expertise on the recent global IT outage caused by CrowdStrike. As the dust settles, the question on everyone's mind is whether CrowdStrike will assume financial responsibility for the damages incurred. If so, the compensation could be considerable. As an investor in AI stocks, I'm eager to know if this situation presents a strategic buying opportunity. In your opinion, how will this IT outage affect CrowdStrike's long-term prospects and stock performance? Will it have a lasting impact on their reputation and investor confidence? Thanks

Q: I understand this is a relatively new cyber security company that is performing very well
What is the stock prefix and do you recommend switching to it from Crowdstrike

Q: Hello 5i...with respect to Cdn Industrials...I am looking to consolidate 9 positions into 6 to 7 holdings...thaey are ( largest to smaillest holding ) WSP, TFII, EIF, ATS, CJT, HPS.A, TRI, TVK, DRX, I am looking for some sort of combo of stable growth ( I have good gains in WSP and TFII and will hold, but could trim ) and potential exceptional growth. Would appreciate if you could rank based on growth and how you might see a consolidation effort for these.

One option being considered is to move completely out of CJT and /or ATS to US industrials and looking at potentials FIX or TT... would like your opinion on this move and if you have preference for one or another suggested potential US industrial ( I already hold AXON )

thanks/Art

Q: Can you recommend a few US non tech stocks that you see have good upside?
Thanks

Q: For high yield bond etf's do you see any concerns with SPHY compared to HYG?

Thank you!

Q: If discussing investing in companies pre-IPO is within the scope of 5i please make general comments on such a strategy and investing in Anduril in particular. The company appears to be an established leader in military drone development and is anticipated to go public within the next few years. I am not sure how one goes about participating pre-IPO, but a web search came up with investing via a company such as Forge as an option (presumably for a fee). I meet the criteria but am hesitant to proceed.

Q: A couple of questions about HSAV: first, I wish to compare what is available on GICs to HSAV - what is the effective rate of interest being earned on dollars invested in HSAV? Second, it seems the premium paid for the price to invest compared to the NAV has risen in the last month - is there a reason why? And is there any way to predict if the premium will get any smaller in the next few weeks? Last, is there a fairly direct relationship between any reductions from the BoC to what is earned with HSAV, eg if the BoC reduces by 1%, does the effective rate earned with HSAV go down by 1%? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hello, 5i Team,

I have some position that are low EMA.TO ENCL.TO GIS HMAX RS.TO SRU.UN.TO and T.TO TD.TO VAB VRE.TO XEI.TO ZAG.TO ZEB.TO and ZWB.TO

Should I hold them, or should I sell them?

Q: 1, Would you recommend adding to CRWD today (Jul 19, 2024) or wait til the dust settles?
2, What would be a good entry price? $280 ish?
(I have held CRWD for some time and have been doing well. Have wanted to add to it for a long time but its valuation scares me.)

Q: If it was you holding CELH and being down 40% (now a 2.75% position), would you be holding or moving on? Would you even consider adding to average down?
Thanks

Q: What do you think of NCX today as opposed to your answer back in 2022.
Does it look better or worse s an initial investment?

Q: What is your opinion of this company today?
Thanks for all you do.

Q: I am almost under water. It has a good dividend which I hope is secure. Should I buy, sell or hold?

Q: In a question by Savalai, 5i indicated that VBK would be a good international small cap growth ETF. After looking into this, it looks like this is primarily US.
Is there another ETF you would recommend for international small cap growth?

Q: Would you initiate a position here? This company rarely falters the way it has recently. Is this a compelling buy, if so, please rate it on scale of 1-10, 10 being a high conviction. Please rank it amongst your favourites in consumer discretionary.

Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on this company as a speculative investment? Rick Rule seems to like it. The share price action has been confusing lately after the business combination with Reunion Gold. Can you please explain what is going on with that as well?
