Q: Good morning 5i
You seem to have a lot of confidence in Google. I wonder, though, what unexpected developments could come along and derail Google? For instance Search is a big component for selling advertisement. But, since Chat gp has been developed, I generally direct any questions I have to it, rather than to Google. It does the searching for me. If something like that became widespread I imagine it could be very bad for Google. There may be other detrimental developments, too. I don’t imagine you have a magic answer for this other than just to keep an eye open. But I was wondering whether things like this would dampen your enthusiasm for Google and move you to hold less?

Q: Hello 5i,

Q: I have a 1% position in CLBT and AXON at 2.5%. In a recent question, you were asked to rank 8 stocks; AXON was put first and CLBT was 7th. Do you see these 2 companies as different enough to offer diversification to a portfolio? Regardless, I probably have more holdings than I really need; if it were you would you consolidate CLBT into AXON? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Thoughts on why the drop in URI the last couple of weeks? Is it a good entry point now?

Q: I am trying to decide if I should start a small position in NVDA.NE or top up my GOOG.NE for my 2025 TFSA contribution. I don't have any NVDA other than what is in my HXS ETF. I know you like both companies. GOOG might be best because it is kind of diversified within itself. However, NVDA might offer better growth without the antitrust issues, but it might be overpriced compared to GOOG. I'm leaning slightly toward GOOG, but a smaller position in NVDA would diversify my portfolio a bit more. My hesitation with NVDA is that it seems a bit like a cult stock, not exactly like TESLA but similar. I won't have enough funds to do both, It may ultimately be a coin flip, but which way would you nudge on these two.

Q: Hello, Can you please provide your top 5 growth oriented CDR’s that you feel are currently trading at a compelling valuation. Please provide brief reasoning for each choice. Will be held within a TFSA. Minimum 5 yr hold. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
With an approx. 10yr timeframe, I'm looking for the next "NVDA" like returns. I am looking at both CLBT and NBIS. Do these 2 fit the bill as having exceptional potential with reasonable probability of success? Currently after today's 11% drop in NBIS I look at this name and scratch my head as to how a company like this can be valued so cheaply, so it seems. With a cash balance of close to half the market cap an investor here is buying into this high growth business paying what appears to be a cheap valuation for its assets and business. If NBIS delivers as expected is this a name you would consider for multi-bagger returns over time, potentially? Would you recommend trimming long term blue cap winners to buy into this name to boost growth in a portfolio? Also, how would you compare this to CLBT's growth potential? I am interested in both names as they both have a very compelling growth story, both in what I see as to be in areas of the "future" which should show high growth with proven management teams (pending CEO replacement of course with CLBT)

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: When I go to the NBIS profile page on 5i, it says that the market cap is $10.68B. Most of the responses I see in the Q&A indicate that it has a market cap of $7B. Is there a specific reason for the difference?

Q: Which stock would you replace for PLTR which has growth potential, but at a much lower valuation?

Thanks for your service?

Q: Greetings:
In the December issue of CMS Norm Rothery picked his 10 stingy stocks. The above 3 have gone down continually since, to almost the 52 week low. Please give your opinion as to why the refiners are getting hit so hard. I realize that all energy stocks are in a slump, but not to this extent. Have the crack spreads narrowed ? and or what other reasons. Your analysis please?
Thanks,
BEN.
