Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am a long term owner of AAPL and have done well by it. I am wondering if a switch into GOOG for its projected growth is a better long term holding in your opinion. How would you compare the two? Perhaps the obvious solution is to sell half of AAPL for a GOOG purchase. My other tech names include MSFT, CSU, SHOP, LMN, NVDA and VRT with tech making up 25% of my overall portfolio. Many thanks.

Q: I've taken a position in Celestica partly based on your reviews. In one of the recent questions about CLS you mentioned a desirable entry point, any guidance on a stop price?
Based on this chart i will set my stop limit just below the 200 SMA at $57.50

Seem reasonable for downside protection?
With the BOC lowering rates i think that is positive for small caps like CLS however i'm still nervous about a broader market decline.

Q: Wondering what your take on the quarterly reports are for these two, with one going up and the other going down after hours. Really interested on your take of ZS since it seems to have finally come down in valuation. Is this a good buying opportunity for us bargain hunters? How does its valuation stack up now against CRWD, PANW, and FTNT?

Q: Hello, I would like to have your opinion on XHAK. I have been looking at buying a cybersecurity stock for some time, trying to decide between Palo Alto and Crowdstrike and some others. Could this ETF be a way in the sector? Looking at the portfolio, it includes some cos that don’t seem to be directly involved in cybersecurity, though. Not sure why these are included in this ETF… Thanks

Q: Everyone, Bitcoin, there has been a lots of talk about crypto for many years but I am hesitant until it is supervised by the treasury departments of countries. Until then it is nothing more than a digital currency that could have no value. That being stated politicians will start to approve if it will get them a vote. Rule number one of a politician is get elected and rule two is get re elected. So do I wait or do I purchase an ETF? Do I purchase in quarter pieces over the course of a year? Or what? Clayton

Q: What are your thoughts on their strong Q2 earnings? Would this be a good entry point? It may finally be ready to rally over the next quarter.

Q: Hi 5i In a registered account
I've held TXF, TXF.B and HTA for quite a while, all at roughly the same cost base. In terms of total return HTA at 52% has outperformed TXF (10.3%) and TXF.B (38%) substantially, although I've got no real complaints about TXF.B's performance.
TXF and TXF.B have the same portfolio holdings, so I assume the vast difference in total return between them is solely due to hedging.
My questions;
Based on your view of the foreseeable future, do you think TXF.B will continue to substantially outperform TXF based on US vs. CDN currency differences? and
Would you endorse selling TXF and putting the proceeds 50/50 into HTA and TXF.B or in some other proportion? (TXF.B and HTA have quite different holdings so I was thinking that splitting TXF proceeds between them rather than all into HTA might be sensible ...).
Thanks - I look forward to your thoughts.

Q: Am I correct that it appears SMCI wants to delay, but not redo, its 10K Filing? It appears a 10K Filing is required by the SEC and is far more detailed than an annual report. A delay in filing suggests there is weakness in Senior Management which is a definite negative. I don't believe in coincidences so I think it likely the Hindenburg report, posted 1 day before SMCI announced the filing delay, have sniffed out something. According to SMCI there is a problem with "the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting". A pretty general statement if ever I saw one! If they have been evading sanctions that could spell serious trouble. SMCI has a reputation in Silicone Valley as a "sweat shop" according to my son-in-law who once worked for them. Anyways I'm lightening my long position on the up days as I just don't want to sell into panics. Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
