Q: Dear 5i, can you please provide some Canadian and US listed stocks that you consider best of breed related to the Cyber Security theme. Many thanks!

Q: An analyst quoted in Bloomberg said "Ferragu downgraded the AI-focused chipmaker to neutral from buy, writing that the stock is “getting fully valued” after soaring 154% this year, on top of a gain of almost 240% in 2023. Shares fell 1.9% on Friday, compared with a gain of 1% for the Nasdaq 100 Index.

Additional upside “will only materialize in a bull case, in which the outlook beyond 2025 increases materially, and we do not have the conviction on this scenario playing out yet,” Ferragu wrote.

It seems he's alone in his downgrade to 'hold'. Do you share his view? Should we bail out of the stock now, or take some profits at least?

Q: Hello Team,
I am newbie when it comes to understanding Bitcoin as a digital currency. But we continue to become more and more of a digital world.
I understand this year, the SEC approved ETFs that can be bought and sold on the exchange providing more options for liquidity. Is this also the case for Canada?
Do you believe Bitcoin would be reasonable investment holding as a small portion (say less than 10%) of an total portfolio.
Do you see a reasonable future /demand and use for bitcoin?
If yes, could you recommend 3 bitcoin ETFs that reasonable AUM and daily volumes
Thank you,

I understand there a number of questions here that require the use of more credits. That is fine and look forward, as usual to your respone.

Q: Would you please comment on micron’s earnings and guidance? Earnings looked like a bear but the guidance wasn’t as favourable as perhaps was hoped and it’s presently down after hours. I’m trying to decide whether to sell it tomorrow or hold. Thanks.

Q: In a recent answer 5i described CELH as ‘interesting’.
I am down 30% in an initial position and planning to bring it to a full position over time.

Questions:
1) For an 8-year holding period, what is the risk of loss of capital on this company? I am fine with volatility if fundamentals are solid, but I am not fine with permanent capital losses in registered accounts(!)
2) Would 5i consider it prudent to continue accumulating this name over the next 12 months for an 8-year hold?
Thank you.

Q: Hello, considering that AI is still in the early stage and accelerating, which one has the higher potential future return for a TFSA account for a 25 year old? And, with the PC refresh cycle, would AMD benefit more than NVDA?
Thanks
