Q: Currently I own all of these semi conductor related companies in my taxable account. QCOM, AMD and MRVL are still at a loss since the March downturn. All others are in positive territory, especially SMH. Should I continue to hold them all as core holdings for the long term or would you trim or delete any? Is it still a good idea to hold SMH because the ETF owns a number of companies like ASML, AMAT, an MU that I do not hold?

Q: Hi Peter, what are the expectations for QRVO & ON next week ? One would think that with the chip shortage results for all these companies would be good and reflect max output. Is that the case or are supplies muffled by the most restricted component of a particular end users product ? Thank you.

Q: PINS where it is today; TWAIWAN SEMI-CONDUCTORS where it is today;
3 months from where they are today - which one will be higher? Second time around with PINS it was a pick on Market Call a couple of years ago and so I am thinking of taking the loss again and moving on. Answering this question will provide me guidance. I notice a lot of stocks have a big pop after earnings and then give it all back (eg. SHOP). What is your take on this? Relying on your good advice.

Q: Hello,
Are you aware of another Canadian Tech focused ETF other than XIT? I have investigated and could not find any other then XIT which is somewhat surprising considering how hot Canadian tech seems now on all the new ETFs that continue to be introduced for sectors like finance, blockchain, bitcoin etc. I would like to invest in Canadian Tech without buying individual stocks and do not like the fact that 4 companies make up about 77% of XIT. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Many thanks.

Q: We keep hearing chip shortages lately, and will imagine that "AMD', TSM', NVDA'....chip names will do well as a result of strong demand and price power etc. But most of these chip names are all well below their February highs. Could you help us understanding the share price and demand divergence observed? If we buy any of these names, will we be rewarded? If yes, which one or ones you like? Thanks

Q: MAGT: 5i produced an interesting article on the company. It appears you feel it could well be a good one. You indicated it is doing an IPO but gave no date for it. The article was published yesterday, April 27 and MAGT went public today, April 28. Why didn't the article include the IPO date? I'm sure many would have followed it this morning if we had known it was trading. Also, MAGT isn't recognized within the 5i system as a valid stock symbol. In future it would be useful to include IPO date, if known, in any article about a new company and also have the 5i system recognize the symbol from the get-go. Now that MAGT is trading, has it reacted as you thought it would?
