Q: Hello, I invested in the ETF BUG about a year ago. I had compared it to HACK and thought that BUG was more a pure play on cybersecurity than HACK, which has AVGO, NOC and GD as top 10 holdings (AVGO at #1 with 12%). After a year, BUG has barely moved whereas HACK has moved over 10%, probably because of the 3 stocks I mentioned. To what extend these 3 stocks belong in a cybersecurity ETF? If so, should I switch to HACK? Do you believe these 3 stocks will still perform very well in the years ahead? I have plenty of NVDA, so it was never my intention to buy AVGO on its own. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i!

I have held VRT for 2.5 years and done well and have a full position in it. It has drifted lower as AI waffles around and other AI related players get more attention.
Do you see VRT as a “must own” for the space or do you have another stock in this space with more momentum and growth potential?

Also, Would you endorse selling a half position of VRT to buy ENS?

Sending all you fine folks at 5i the warmest wishes for the holidays. Thank you for all of your guidance throughout the years. It is appreciated. Enjoy some time off!

Q: These 2 stocks have done really well.

5i reccommended TSAT in a recent portfolio update and is now approx $6 higher than when you recommended it. Moved nicely on the govt contract news etc. My question here is what would you reccommend to enter this stock. A) Buy it at market now, B) Average in 1/3 at a time C) Sell an April 30 put at approx $3.5? or D) just wait out the volatility and buy it at a stink price between 25 and 30?

Secondly on a Tom Lee podcast he waxed eloquent about SATS and told listeners that if they don't own it go and buy it. Doesn't do that often with individual stocks. What is your opinion of SATS, it has really come a long way too this year. Would you consider it a buy?

With many thanks

Q: High level and subjective question about CSU. They historically bought mature slow growth SASS businesses with very little organic growth. Now the market perceives a risk that AI will disrupt their businesses. CSU will need to innovate rapidly to meet this challenge, BUT, CSU does not have a culture of innovation. Do you think CSU can rapidly become innovative at scale when that is so far from their core competency? Do they have the DNA to innovate AI into their businesses?

Thanks.

Q: Seasons Greetings,

1) What do you make of the recent numbers?
2) Would you buy it for a 3 year hold or will AI be nibbling away at it's breakfast, lunch and dinner?
3) If so, what sort of price would be attractive bearing in mind it seems to have pulled out of it's nose dive with a more positive 2 week chart?

All the best,

Q: I have a half position in this stock ET.CA which when asked in the past you have said there is no growth so might want to let it go, and so because of the div, I just left it to go back up. Today they announced a special div. Will the stock typically go down after the dividend has been paid out Dec 18th? And if I should sell, would I need to hold to the 19th to get the special Dividend and then sell? When is the best time to sell? Or is the company doing a turn around and it's worth to hang on? If they are doing better, I'm happy to keep it or could move on, and then what would I replace it with.? Please advise.

Q: Good morning,

Aeluema, which I can’t find in the database has come off of its latest decline.

It is tied with lidar, sem’s, quantum. Would you please give your assessment on this company in its present state as a speculative starter position.

Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
Is CLS plummeting on Avgo results? Also why the negative reaction on Avgo with the earnings beat? I am not liking this market particularly tech. Any reason to sell off growth names right now it seems to happen with very little new catalysts in sight. Is it time to diversify away from tech with the portfolio already down approx 12% from highs. Or just ride out these growth names as usual? Thx
