Investment Q&A

Q: Can you do a head to head comparison between VRT and ANET as for as which one you would prefer going forward and why? Does one have a bigger risk of something going wrong (Yup I'm talking about you SMCI) than the other?

Q: Hi! Thoughts on a switch from PINS to RDDT. Pros/Cons. I know you are showing interest in RDDT with recent earnings but does PINS still have potential or is it time to move on? Thank you!

Q: Hi- could i get your take on UBER earnings ? Was the sell off warranted- would you add to a position at this level. forward P/E of 50 seems a bit rich

Q: Good Day,


Rough day in the markets Thursday. After mine and other questions, getting a sort of analysis paralysis trying to make the 'right' move. Some (potentially) attractive dips, and Looking to set up the accounts for the next couple months.

Current concerning holdings. Hold, Sell, or add?

ASPN
ATS
CELH
CRNT
CROX
SMCI
TMDX

For the adds and holds, please rank with the following names in terms of highest conviction and total returns in the coming year. Knowing you can't get personal, what would be the highest portfolio percentage you would think would be appropriate for each given the nature/stage of the lifecycle each is in?

GOOG NTR ATD LUG GAU AEM WPM BCE SHOP ISRG

Thanks for everything!

Q: Would you consider Roku a good candidate to slowly accumulate or at best a hold letting the dust settle?
Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i,

PTON reported Oct31. What are your thoughts on the results and also the announcement of a new CEO?

Cheers!

Q: Hello 5IR,
The stock dropped $8.44 today after the earnings. What caused this drop? I did not think that the earnings were bad. Would you consider this to be a good entry point?
Thanks you. Cheers

Q: Would you see BRK.B as a buy-and-forget type purchase for a 5-10 year hold? What do you see happening post-Warren Buffet?
Thanks

Q: The market seems to really like the earnings of ABBV. Got a nice dividend raise too. Where do you see the runway for this is over the next five years?

Q: Please provide me with a few recommended tickers that would benefit from supporting the data centers in USA with their electric needs.

Q: A SC 13G was filed on October the 18th. BlackRock was the name in the filing. Does this hit the radar as very interesting and boost the confidence.

Q: Good Morning,

All things considered, would you rate SMCI a hold or sell today?

What do you think the likelihood is of it being de-listed from the Nasdaq? Would you wait to make a hold/sell decision until after next Tuesday's scheduled business update, or do you think there's not much that management can say to change the market's perspective on this stock?

Thanks,

Brad

Q: Regarding SCMI, how badly would their accounting have to be misstated before it was not attractive based on fundamental reasons? Looking at the current and forward P/E, it's relatively cheap for a good business in a great part of the market.

What if a company with a different name produced a quarterly report that showed SMCI's numbers in terms of growth and earnings but without any of the baggage and negative perception? What would 5i value this other entity at with current financials and for fun, what would 5i value it at if the numbers are revised to be 25% worse.

Thanks

Q: Thoughts on earnings? Thinking of buying a position but going to let the dust settle first. Do you think the price action is well supported by the earnings and guidance? Seems like growth is very strong.

Thanks.

Q: Which drug companies would you suggest if arriving late to the GLP-1 party? For a 5-10 year hold.
Thanks

Q: Could you recommend a few CAD etfs for the US market/SP500/Nasdaq that do not require to be reported on form T1135 for an unregistered account over $100K? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Your thoughts on these 3 names. SRRK & CRNX gave us good returns with the recent run and I intend to replace with IBRX.

Thank you!

Q: Hi Team,
I am a bit perplexed about why the last couple days NVDA has been trending down after earnings releases such as Meta, GOOG, Msft which all seem to show massive spending on AI. You would think this will translate into high demand for NVDA chips which hopefully will bold well for NVDA earnings. Any thoughts on the outlook here for NVDA earnings estimates? I assume the correct answer as usual will be to hold the stock into earnings. I am also surprised Meta and Msft are dropping after great earnings.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi,
Few weeks ago I bought a small position in TMDX at $130. As the stock got closer to earnings, I sold some naked puts at $105, collected a nice premium and expecting that if it dropped after earnings, I could pick up some more 20% lower which I'm happy to do. With the larger stock drop after earnings down to $85 now, I'm thinking about my options. I'll most likely be assigned the shares at $105, which expire in 2 weeks.

As you have mentioned in many comments, I think these results are temporary headwinds and long term I'm still bullish. I'm tempted to 1) sell another put at around $70-75 and if the stock drops there, I'm happy to buy more. If it rises, I just keep the premium and reduce my cost base. Or 2) I was thinking I could buy the stock here and sell a covered call at around $95-100? Any other ideas you would implement here if this were you? what would YOU do if this were you? Thank you!

Q: LLY and BKNG got hit hard post earnings. Any concern in your opinion?

Continue holding I assume ? Thanks
