Investment Q&A

Q: I get an email from Seeking Alpha every once in a while touting various stocks and ETF's . I recently got one on GPIQ { not in your data base } with a rather glowing assessment . For brevity I will just quote their summary ......

" The Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF offers a compelling blend of capital appreciation and double-digit yield, amassing $2.12B AUM in just over two years.

GPIQ’s dynamic covered call strategy leaves upside partially uncapped, enabling strong monthly income and market-beating total returns compared to peer ETFs.

The ETF’s monthly distributions remain stable regardless of Fed rate changes, making GPIQ attractive for income investors in a declining rate environment.

While GPIQ carries risks tied to tech sector performance and execution, its
proven strategy positions it as a top choice for income-focused investors seeking growth. "

What is 5i's assessment of this ETF and why ? ..... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: hello 5i
Lumen group in Canada is up about 0.34 as I write but in the US (LMGIF) it is up over 7percent. I must be missing something. currency differences can't account for this. What am I missing?
thanks

Q: Knowing someone who works for Palantir I bought in at about 12$ in 2020. I am now seriously contemplating selling those shares for only one reason. The P/E is off the charts. I understand that there is a cult following around Alex Karp and Peter Thiel. However, does it make sense to own a company whose earnings per share are so far away from the cost of a share and where this difference only seems to increase over time.

Q: Hi 5i team,
Would you have any idea why Broadcom is so volatile? Lately it can have a range as much as $50 from one day to the next.
Thank you

Q: Hi, is RGTI Rigetti is a by now ?

Q: If I were to reduce my overweight positions in a few FANGMA stocks and instead use Evolve’s TECH.U ETF for more balanced long-term tech exposure, how would you assess the trade-off? Other than the MER, are there any concerns with TECH.U—such as index methodology, rebalance schedule, liquidity, tracking error, or concentration—that should factor into the decision?”

Q: Michael Burry ( of The Big Short fame) has recently attracted much attention over his analysis and commentary on some the major AI companies. I was wondering whether you had conducted any review of his rationale and reasoning around his positioning

Q: Hello,

I've noticed in recent exchanges a renewed interest in the CSU family. For a relatively conservative investor, wouldn't it be more prudent to focus on the parent company rather than spreading capital across all three companies in the group?

Thanks

Q: Looking to add an AI stock in the next month or so to my TFSA. Is Nvidia a good one to hold for a time and if not then who?

Thanks for the service.

Q: How would you rank these for growth? I own GLXY and NBIS already. GLXY is 3.5% and NBIS 1.62% position. I could add more to NBIS or start new positions in either CIFR, IREN, HUT or HIVE. I see you recently started a new position in HIVE, but assuming you could choose between all of these companies, how would you compare or rank HIVE to HUT, IREN and CIFR as new AI/HPC plays from bitcoin miners? Thanks!

Q: Hi there

If I was going to initiate a position in ZOMD would you recommend doing it before or after earnings reporting on Friday? Would you buy in tranches like 1/3s?


Thanks!

Q: Hi,
What are your thoughts in Semtech's earnings? Mr. Market not too pleased.

Cheers, Chris

Q: Greetings 5i, what is your opinion about this company and its prospects? Hold or sell? Thank you.

Q: ZS Could you comment on Q1.
Growth seems strong but the price is down pre market.
Is this a long term hold?
Thanks.

Q: hi, I thought I read something yesterday about improper sales accounting from some shopify employees? apparently they have been fired and "the case is closed". surprised nothing in the major financial propaganda sites this am, and no questions here. what are your thoughts on this?

Q: A couple of favourites amongst growth investors. Which do you think has better long term relevance? Does HIVE in Canada essentially have the same product offering as IREN?
Thanks

Q: NVDA down 5% more this morning. From 212$ down to 172$ this morning. Other chip stocks are moving up steady past weeks specially AVGO. Not the darling anymore. Competition taking over?

Q: Hi,
Seeing the drop in NVDA makes me wonder if the talk that Meta is considering buying chips from GOOGL would really reduce NVDA's value this much? If you could weigh in with any comments and thoughts you have regarding this mornings drop I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!

Q: CLS:CA : do not own. $620.00 price target 2026? Do you think this is a reasonable assertion? Thinking of buying 200 shs in TFSA. Do not own any tech. other than 300 shs NVDA and ETF IGM - for long time - up 1300% - 1800 shs.

Q: In reviewing your Growth portfolio YTD I notice that the best YTD increases are CLS, PNG,ZDC,GLXY, HPS.A … in that order. And mor of these are your top holdings as well.

Given the pullback are any of these “buyable” again now; and if so, at what prices would you suggest. I already own all of these stocks - thank you very much!
