Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i team. LSPD is trading at a high TTM revenue multiple in the 60s whereas SQ is trading closer to 13x revenue. Can you please compare the two and talk through pros and cons for both. Why would you favour one over another if you do.

Q: What are your thoughts on Appian, Blackline, Datadog, and Zoom from a balance sheet, growth potential and management? Could you rank in terms of growth potential in the next 5-10+ years? Thanks.

Q: Thank you for the great service. I was wondering in the HOT space of EV's are there any standout companies either producing a vehicle you like as an investment or an infrastructure play for charging stations or battery production? I have listed some of the companies I have on a list but I own nothing in this space... Really wishing I had bought Tesla 10 years ago when first looking at it... As they say could of would of should Have. I try never to look back but sometimes it is tough LOL

Q: Hi, My respected 5i team
I bought these stocks back in March or April 2020 during the market correction, thanks for your recommendation!
Right now, the upward momentum of these high tech stocks are diminishing and their valuations seems high.
What is your opinion about the valuations here, are they over valued too much? I'm worried about the "tech bubble" happens again. Should I sell them now or under what condition you suggest that I should sell ?

Q: Hi Team

Is PLUG still buyable here after a roaring start to the year? Thank you in advance.

Q: Hi,
If i have to buy two Tech companies to buy into my TFSA for growth which ones would you pick

Q: Hi, Happy New Year,
Could recommend your best Tech ETF

Q: I have full positions on those above. I want to add one more tech company. I am trying to buy only one within the sector and at the same time diversify their business. For 3/5 years I am thinking crowd, pltr or possibly pins. What are your thoughts and a short opinion? Thank you for all the excellent service.

Q: Looking to add semi-conductors into my portfolio, as there is a shortage of product and high demand in the Automotive and Electronics industries. Interested in your perspective on Analog Devices, NXP Semi-Conductors, STMicrelectronics and Micron Technologies, as they have all had a great run, but still have high Buy ratings. If you think these have had a great run, and has some risk, what alternatives would you recommend. Thanks

Q: I picked up a small lot of this in the sell off last year on a spec..
It seems to have come alive this year and having a nice move today. Nearly back to IPO price!
What do you think of it today? Worth buying more?

Q: Hi 5i,
In answer to Dan's question on 6 tech stocks this morning (Jan. 11) you rated DCBO second last as a candidate for a long term hold.
I also wonder about DCBO. I'm currently up 50% and I wonder if you think it still has runway - like you think about LSPD for example - or if you would conclude it may well be at or near the top of its ascent? Without a dividend I have no reason to continue holding DCBO if it's given me all or most of what it's got to give but, frankly, I don't know how to set a target price for a tech stock with either its metrics or its momentum.
I'm cognizant of your oft-given advice to guard against selling winners too soon (which I've done my share of and which I'm trying to avoid) but I also think there must be times when one has to conclude a stock has met its potential, or nearly so, and it's time to realize the profit and deploy the funds elsewhere. Could you advise what you think about DCBO in this regard?
Thanks for this, and for all the rest of your very helpful guidance that I benefit from.
Peter

Q: Can you comment on this company? Apparently, they are a lithium ion battery recycling company.

Q: RESN What do you know about this American Stock

Q: Thoughts on this company as an investment? When is the lockup period done?

Q: Myself and my 21 yo daughter have been building a balanced portfolio following your recommendations. Thanks to your service this has been an incredible learning experience for her and profitable to boot! Right now we are trying to decide between PINS NVDA and AMZN to add to her TFSA (We are also adding TT at this time and are balanced across market sectors). Just wonder which you would prefer at this time for potential long long term growth.

Q: I did a lot of research on this recent IPO and liked what I saw. It's pulled back lately and I'm wondering if I blew it. What do you think?

Q: Please compare JCI and TT and state your preference if you have.
I would like a similar comparison for CSIQ and FSLR.
Deduct the appropriate number of questions.
Thanks for this help and the other information you have provided over the years.

Q: I already have positions in Nuan and Fang stocks. What other small/medium sized AI focused stocks would you suggest I look at for additional AI investments?

Thanks, Tim.

Q: Would you please rank these tech stocks for a long term buy at current prices, 5+ years, total return, growth-oriented portfolio. Thanks. NVEI, DCBO, ENGH, DND, KXS, OTEX.
