Q: Hi 5i
How do you view FDX earnings, it is down today over 10%....
Would you consider this drop an opportunity for 1-2 year horizon and why?

Not sure about this but Would CJT be considered a proxy, its down today also.. what is your opinion on this one...opportunity or no.

Thx

Q: I have been holding this for 2 years and it has not done much and is still down 20% even with the recent upswing in the market. Can I have your opinion on this stock and on healthcare in general (minus Canada)? if I decide to sell for a loss, what do you think about replacing it with a healthcare etf such as XLV- would XLV have the same upside potential as SNN? if not, can you recommend a replacement?
thanks

Q: Everyone, large cap tech stocks have had an amazing year. So going into next year and next year, will managers sell some and redeploy cash or sell lots and deploy cash or will they keep there current amounts hoping for an average gain next year? If they sell this will put a downward momentum on the Nasdaq 100. Clayton

Q: Hi 5i, I believe Microsoft and Google are going to start designing their own AI chips? And maybe sell them as well. Is this going to affect Nvidia’s business?

Q: I am low on Consumer Cyclicals. What portfolio percentage do you advise to allocate? I have broken down the sector into sub-categories: housing, e-commerce, retail, personal services, lodging. Am I missing a sub-sector that shoud be included? Which ones have the most potential? I have listed some names - but am not tied to any. Apart from AMZN [owned], what are the top 5 or more that you would buy today and any others to keep on watchlist with buy targets? Please rank.

Q: Hello 5i,

I sold for tax loss VZ and the 30 day period is over. Ignoring that VZ has since increased in price I am starting to change my mind about buying back. Certainly a change in sector but would ABBV be a better replacement since my health care exposure is low? If not can you let me know if VZ is worth buying back.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is what could be classified as an absurd question! Ha!Ha! However I would love to have your opinion just to satisfy my curiosity. I have a friend..."cult member" who is obsessed with Elon Musk and thinks that someday humans will relocate on Mars. He believes that TSLA someday...in 5-10 years...will go to $3000.00 per share. He believes his cars are not cars but "robots on wheels" and all that that implies...if you know what I mean. It is my understanding that companies who do reverse-splits generally do not skyrocket. In fact it may demonstrate a weakness. Personally, I think this is totally unrealistic. Just for fun what do you think TSLA chances are of hitting $3000.00. Please give me a percentage...as an old rock and roll song went "A Million To One". I promise I will just keep it to myself and not quote you! Ha!Ha! Thanks...as usual!

Q: NRIX Your comments on the prospects of this company will be appreciated.

Thanks

Q: Can you please provide your outlook for Costco in light of their recent reporting. A per your portfolio tracking, it is up 48% in the last year - do you see share price continuing its impressive run? Your company reports has its P/E (at 43) at its near its peak in the last 5 years and P/B is at 12....are these concerning? Can you shed light on how its balance sheet will be situated after the special dividend? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I am considering initiating a position in one of these 2 companies; can you please provide your outlook for each and indicate which you would choose, if you were me. A couple of specific questions - I currently own CSU, is there much overlap with CTSH? Also, in an answer over a year ago you suggested the P/E for CCOI was very high, at 70, but recent company reports put it 3 to 4....can you explain what is involved with the 70 v. the 3 - 4? Also, in that answer you referred to very high debt to cash flow....is that still a concern? thanks much

Q: Hi. I have been nibbling away at both IWO and IJR and would like to bring each up to a full position (5%) in my portfolio. Given their run during the past month, do you still see them as under-valued and buyable?

thanks,

J

Q: What do you think of AMN? Would you start a position here?
