Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter. Any thoughts on the emerging 3D printing market. Cisco and a few others seem to be at the forefront. Would you consider an ETF such as BMO Nasdaq as decent exposure to this. I have considerable cash sitting idle in my RRSP. I have a lot in 3 banks, but they are not doing so great anymore. Any suggestions. Thanks for all your great advice.

Q: Re: Brian's question today about NXPI...just got this news (seems good news) about NXP:

-Switzerland's Finanz und Wirtschaft has reported local firm AMS (OTC:AUKUF) has lost deals to supply NFC signal-boosting ICs for future iPhone and Apple Watch models. Going forward, Apple will reportedly rely exclusively on NXP (NXPI +2.2%) to supply NFC parts.

-AMS fell 21.1% in Zurich on the news. NXP is joining tech and chip peers in rallying. Various teardowns have uncovered NXP NFC controllers and AMS signal-boosting chips in the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch. NXP also supplies NFC controllers for Chinese Galaxy S6 models; Samsung NFC controllers have been found in international models.

Q: I know that you dont follow US stocks as diligently as you do Canadian securities. Would you feel comfortable commenting on NXPI? I have held it for some time and have done very well. It has taken quite a hit in the last few weeks. I would appreciate your comments and would you recommend holding it. Thanks

Q: In the "Internet of Things" play, which one would you prefer, SW or NXPI.US. Both these stocks are volatile so would you wait for a better entry point (on which ever stock you advise)?

Q: Peter, With all the talk of cyber security, I would like to make an investment in that space. I know of no way to do that on a Canadian market, but maybe you do. Is there an ETF which covers this sector? Between the big players like Fire Eye, Palo Alto, Cisco or others, how would you play it? Or would you avoid this area all together due to valuations?

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team
I am curious about NXP, is this a good tech company to own at this time? The semiconductor buisness is extremely cyclical. I was wondering where are we in that cycle? What are some of NXP's flag ship products and who are their main competition? Would you add this company to a well diversified portfolio or is there a better company out there to buy? Should a person be concerned with the currency risk?

Thank you

Q: Hi Team,
Currently I do not own and Info Tech stocks in my RSP. I am looking to add 2-3 stocks from this sector with good growth and decent dividend. This would be considered a long term hold (+10 years). Could I please have your recommendation?

Thank you for your service.
